Have to admit this is a pretty neat video!

Photo One:

In this photo provided by Nintendo of America, actor G Hannelius, currently starring in the Disney Channel sitcom Dog With A Blog, films a promo for the new Disney Magical World game with actor Cole Pendery at the Downtown Disney® District last month. Disney Magical World launches exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems on April 11. Cole is holding the new Mickey Edition Nintendo 3DS XL system that will be available at Wal-Mart and the Nintendo World store.

Reader Robert Garcia and his daughter Victoria came across the shot above, which comes from inFamous: Second Son. If you get in close and take a real look at the photo, it does look like Mario and Luigi are referenced/given a neat little tribute. Are those really the famous brothers, or are we just crazy?

Japan’s prime minister feels that, believe it or not, the country can learn from Nintendo.

When asked about his growth strategy for Japan, Shinzo Abe said:

“Well, for example, there’s a company called Nintendo. Over there, they made hanafuda cards, but gradually the people playing hanafuda decreased. However, that company called Nintendo makes hanafuda cards and whatnot, and I believe that only by doing that, it wasn’t able to protect hanafuda.”

According to Abe, Nintendo used technical expertise to lead the way in developing home video game consoles.

“And at the same time, it is keeping the traditional hanafuda cards. For sure, I think this is something that we can learn from.”

Howard Lincoln, former chairman for Nintendo of America, is thanked in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze’s credits. The news is hardly earth-shattering, but it’s an interesting nugget. Lincoln was last thanked in a Nintendo game for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption – not Donkey Kong Country Returns. By including Lincoln in the Tropical Freeze credits, Retro could be trying to thank him for helping establish the company.
