“Mario fans: Relax! PETA’s game was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, a fun way to call attention to a serious issue, that raccoon dogs are skinned alive for their fur. We wish real-life tanukis could fly or swat enemies away with their tails and escape from those who profit from their skins. You can help them by never buying real fur.” -PETA Statement

Well, it certainly wasn’t a very high quality joke! Part of me thinks that they might just be saying this to get Mario fans off of their back, but I suppose I could understand if this truly was just a goofy troll. It did seem rather extreme, even for PETA.

Well, wouldja look at that! Everybody’s favorite video game creator- Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto- is turning the age of 59 today, which is pretty neat considering that Skyward Sword is just about to release. If you ask me, there really isn’t much a better way to celebrate than to have one of you best games ever on the way!

For those of you who, for one reason or another, may be unaware of who Mr. Miyamoto is, he’s the mastermind behind many of today’s biggest video game franchises, included Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Pikmin, Nintendogs, and many many more. Have a good one, Shiggy!

Just in case you were wondering, this is footage of the Wii version. It’d be tough to make this game look ugly on any console!
