This is something I’ve had trouble deciding on whether or not to post since I learned of Robin Williams’ passing earlier this evening. It’s tragic and obviously very, very saddening. And while it may not be directly Nintendo related, I think it’d be okay for us to put up a post about the situation.

Rather than going into the specifics of Williams’ actual passing, it would instead be nice to remember the many films he contributed to and his love of gaming. You may remember the different commercials Williams was featured in alongside his daughter Zelda, who was named after Nintendo’s classic franchise.

Like the “impossible coin”, there are other mysterious elements in Super Mario 64. One of these concerns a Goomba that has never been killed.

Bowser in the Sky holds what should be a triangle-formation Goomba group on one of its platforms. However, there is one Goomba that was initially presumed missing.

As it turns out, Super Mario 64 spawns the missing Goomba on the bottom of the map. It’s almost immediately killed due to its location.

Several methods have been created in hopes of defeating the Goomba, but none have worked thus far. It’s quite the mystery!

When THQ closed its doors, a large portion of former developers from Vigil Games moved on to Crytek USA. But just last month, Vigil founder and Crytek USA head David Adams left the company. He has since gone on to create a brand new independent studio, Gunfire Games.

Gunfire Games is just getting started and is employing a handful of people. All are leads from Crytek USA.

While things are definitely early, Adams told Polygon that Gunfire is exploring the possibility of returning to Darksiders. In fact, the studio has spoken with Darksiders IP owner Nordic Games.

IGN managed to secure more images from the Nintendo Character Reference Guide that released two decades ago. This time around, we have scans focusing on The Legend of Zelda.

Check out the images in the gallery above. One of the images is particularly noteworthy as it states that Link nearly killed Zelda (there’s more on that in the scan).
