Justin Berube's face put in the Stage Debut game at the Nintendo booth at E3 2003.

Lots of people are playing the new Tomodachi Life so I thought I'd share this picture from E3 2003 of myself playing Stage Debut.

Why Do We Think Mario and Luigi Are From Brooklyn? — Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games Exploring the brothers’ alleged real world origins — and their inexplicable Italian accents.

The Mario Bros. are not from Brooklyn. And if they were, that would only make their Italian accents even more confusing.

You also need to realize that each Air Riders Amiibo is like buying two. They are likely separated in the package to help drive that point home.

DUFFEL BAG: ACQUIRED
The Metroid Duffel Bag is here!!! At a whopping $100, this incredibly shiny piece of Metroid merch is sure to turn heads. Each zipper pull is different: Samus, Baby Metroid, and Chozo Statue, and the spacey inner lining is a nice touch. Anyway, enjoy the reel.

A resurrection of the classic Wild Gunman EM film game by Nintendo! Keep an eye on this one.

Any idea how the numerous officially licensed Mario manga fit into this story? I really don't know much about them but am curious if more data on the subject could be mined from these. Few have official English translations and I don't know how many have been localized unofficially.

If I had to guess it would be because, from what I've heard, the Melee development cycle was really short. Probably just something done due to time constraints.

When Did Luigi Get His Own Look? — Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games The other plumber stood in his brother’s shadow for longer than you’d think.

It took Nintendo a lot longer than you'd think to give Luigi his own face.

Pokémon Pikachu shaped Pirate's Booty.

The good news is the folks over at Pirate's Booty did their job. This snack features Pikachu shaped pieces taking advantage of the Pokémon license. Good job!

Pokémon branded Sour Patch Kids. Watermelon.

Target has other exclusives snacks coming. Including these Pokémon branded Sour Patch Kids. But again, they didn't even try as there are no exclusive shapes.

Original Pokémon Pop-Tarts, Wild Cherry flavored, with actual Pokémon shaped Sprinkles. Generation 1.

Pokémon Pop-Tarts, PokéBerry flavored, with PokéBall Sprinkles. Are the sprinkles actually shaped like PokéBalls? Maybe. Generation 2.

New Target exclusive Pokémon Pop-Tarts. Vanilla Cupcake flavored. Fully generic sprinkles. Nothing special at all except for the box. 2026.

Target revealed new exclusive Pokémon Pop-Tarts. Exciting news, but you can trace the history of Pokémon Pop-Tarts to see how, over time, they've become more half-assed.

Started with Pokémon shaped sprinkles. Then included PokéBall sprinkles(allegedly). Now nothing special. Try harder Kellogg's!
