Hey everyone, it’s Patrick here and throughout this week I’ll be celebrating Christmas in the only way relevant to this website – by taking a look at a bunch of terrible Christmas specials based on various Nintendo titles. First up is the Super Mario Bros. Super Show – a late-80’s TV program featuring cartoons based on Super Mario Bros. and Zelda. This Christmas episode —Koopa Klaus— is one of the rare episodes of the show  that isn’t just a reference to a popular movie like  “Raiders of the Lost Mushroom” or “On Her Majesty’s Sewer Service”, but that doesn’t make it any less awful.


I’d probably be doing you all a disservice if I didn’t post the above video on the site. It’s amazingly funny!



Something called “Zelda Game” has been found on Microsoft’s Windows 8 Marketplace. Believe it or not, developer Joeri Kerkhof is charging consumers $1.49 for the download.

I wonder how long this one will remain on the store. A day? A week? I can’t see it staying up too long.

If you happen to REALLY like the Super Nintendo and you happen to be REALLY wealthy, you might be interested in purchasing every single game that every came out on the system– including rarities like Demon’s Crest— for $24,999. That’s 721 games.

Joystiq did the math and it comes out to about $35 per game– which could be a lot or could be not a lot, depending on which game you apply it to. Overall it’s not a great deal, but it’s an easy one if you need every SNES game right this second and can’t afford to buy them one at a time for some reason.

The seller’s online name is “Byuu” and he says if he doesn’t get over 20K for them he won’t make a profit, and thus won’t bother selling! Why does he have all of them? Well, he developed a popular SNES emulator and he wanted to make sure every game ran flawlessly on it, so he did the logical thing and purchased all of them! Now he wants to sell them off in order to buy the complete Japanese and European collections, perfect emulators for those, and sell THEM off as well!

All of the games come with their boxes, 605 of them with manuals, and come have duplicate games to sweeten the deal. Sort of.

Reggie Fils-Aime has sent along a new Swapnote message to North American 3DS owners. A fresh piece of stationary was included, too. It’s a snapshot of the WaraWara Plaza.



Breaking news: Satoru Iwata is having a birthday today. Nintendo’s head honcho turned 53 years-old.

Iwata has been a busy man with the recent Nintendo Directs. Here’s hoping he was able to enjoy his birthday!



The graphic pictured above is the entire release schedule for Japanese Nintendo games in January. Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 is the only title confirmed for release next month. And that’s across all of Nintendo’s platforms – Wii U, 3DS, DS, and Wii.

That’s kind of crazy knowing that the schedule includes first and third-party releases. Where are the games, Nintendo?! Maybe we’ll see some release date announcements tomorrow through Nintendo Direct?

In what will undoubtedly be the most important news of the night, there’s a clip floating around of Michelle Obama being told what a Wii U is. She had no idea what the console is and how it differs from a Wii before a visiting child explained it to her.
