Have you ever wondered how the famous pipes in the Mario series came to be? Thanks to creator Shigeru Miyamoto, we’ve got some insight.
Shumplations recently translated a classic interview that Game Maestro conducted with Miyamoto in 2000. As he stated during that discussion, Nintendo needed to come up with a way for enemies “that went to the bottom had to re-appear at the top of the screen.” Then while he was walking in Kyoto, he “saw a plastic pipe sticking out of a wall,” and that was the solution he came up with.

Virtual Console was originally planned for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Up until the release of Switch, Virtual Console was a big thing for Nintendo starting with Wii. Players could purchase and download a variety of classic titles from past hardware. However, with Nintendo Switch and the introduction of Nintendo Switch Online, things took a turn. Buying individual games is no longer possible, and instead those that have an active membership can access classics via different apps.
Virtual Console doesn’t exist on Switch, but new evidence has come to light indicating that Nintendo was exploring the idea at one point. LuigiBlood sifted through a new leak of iQue emails and shared findings today. Nintendo and iQue previously teamed up on different projects.
