Video: A look at the making of the Mario and Luigi Rimpa screen painting
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Videos | 0 comments
In October, a special Super Mario Bros. screen painting will go on display in Kyoto. It comes in celebration of the series’ 30th anniversary, as well as the 400th anniversary of the Rimpa school.
Mario is represented as “Raijin” (Japanese god of thunder and storms) in the piece while Luigi is shown as “Fujin” (Japanese god of wind). These two tend to be paired in Japanese art, much like Nintendo’s famous brothers.
The painting itself is created in Rimpa style. For a look at its creation, check out the official Nintendo video below.

Later this month, SEGA will be wrapping up its next batch of 3D Classics. 3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will officially conclude the second series. However, there is a possibility that more games could be coming, or were at least considered at one point.
Found within the RAM of 3D Gunstar Heroes are titles such as Sonic Spinball, Comix Zone, and Puyo Puyo 2. It remains to be seen though what sort of plans there are for the future – if any.
