Myriapod Mania

Posted on August 5, 2021 by Nathan

I played a little bit of Centipede at the Silverball Retro Arcade in Asbury Park this past weekend, and I remembered seeing something online about the manual for the Atari 2600 version having a crazy back story. The game, introduced in … Continue reading →

Folded Follies

Posted on February 4, 2021 by Nathan

Paper Mario: The Origami King – When this first came out, there was a lot of talk about how it wasn’t being billed as a role-playing game. As with its two predecessors, you don’t get experience points from fighting battles, … Continue reading →

Oh Yeah, Mario Time!

Posted on June 18, 2020 by Nathan

I have pondered Mario’s age before, and mentioned how he’s officially supposed to be in his mid-twenties. But then, I grew up with the Super Mario Bros. Super Show, where Captain Lou Albano was playing Mario and Danny Wells Luigi in … Continue reading →

The King Is a Drip!

Posted on March 11, 2020 by Nathan

It’s March 10, which means that it’s Mario (MAR10) Day, at least in this country. I guess elsewhere it’s Iomar Day. I write a lot about the Mario universe anyway, of course. I’m really not that good at the games, … Continue reading →

Sticker Fun

Posted on February 22, 2020 by Nathan

I finished Paper Mario: Sticker Star last weekend, and I’m only just writing about it now. It’s fairly slight, especially for a role-playing game, but still pretty fun. I wrote earlier about how you can only make moves by using … Continue reading →

I’ve been collecting stuffed characters from the Mario series, and for Christmas Beth gave me Pom Pom, whom she said was her equivalent. Neither of us are that familiar with any of the games in which the character appears, though. … Continue reading →

Keeping Up with the Koopas

Posted on June 9, 2017 by Nathan

Picture by Marhiin There isn’t a whole lot about Bowser’s family in the Mario series. Even his seven kids have been retconned into not really being his children, which raises the question as to where they come from. We never … Continue reading →

Euro Mario Land

Posted on April 6, 2017 by Nathan

I’ve occasionally come across panels from comics in the German Club Nintendo magazine, basically their equivalent of Nintendo Power, and they were sehr wahnsinnig. Not all of them were; some were fairly straightforward adaptations of games with a few jokes … Continue reading →

Big Apes and the Big Apple

Posted on March 4, 2017 by Nathan

I’ve questioned before whether it’s still canonical that Mario and Luigi are from Brooklyn, as media related to the games frequently stated prior to Yoshi’s Island, and sometimes still do today. That game apparently puts the kibosh on their having … Continue reading →
