Fan painting pays tribute to Nintendo Power
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Random | 0 comments
Bry Sharland isn’t pleased that Nintendo Power will soon be shutting down. Actually, he tells us that he’s been “depressed” over its imminent closure.
In hopes of paying tribute to the magazine, Bry has been working on a painting since August while being involved with two jobs. It features some of Nintendo’s most popular characters as well as Nester – one of Nintendo Power’s older mascots.
Props to Bry for making this painting. There’s no way we could have made something like this!
Charles Martinet pops up on Australian news channel

You never know where you’ll find the voice of Mario. In this case, Charles Martinet just so happened to appear on an Australian news channel.
Martinet was ready to head home following his appearance at the Australian EB Expo. But strangely, Melbourne Airport came across a “suspicious package”, and Martinet (as well as other passengers) saw his flight delay as the situation was investigated. It was fortunately nothing but a false alarm.
Channel Seven News did stop by to ask a few folks for their thoughts. As it turns out, Martinet appeared on the segment for a tiny bit.
Martinet’s appearance comes early on in the video above, and it’s not very long, so watch closely.
Martinet also wrote the following about the video:
“I did a whole bunch in Mario voice! But they just used the one sentence… I said ‘Australia is numba one!!!!’… the reporter and camera guy were great… but I think their producer just wanted a short thing. Too bad!”

Jerry Lambert (the actor behind Sony’s “Kevin Butler”) seen in an ad promoting the Wii

Perhaps my favorite thing that exists in the world is irony, and while I know this story doesn’t actually “mean” anything tangible, it has about as much of the stuff as you could cram into anything particularly related to video games. Why? The actor portraying Sony’s great marketing icon “Kevin Butler” is appearing in a Bridgestone advertisement that contains a tie-in with the Wii.
It’s not clear to me whether this is a contest or a promotion or something less significant, but it is- for what it’s worth- ironic.

The Legend of Zelda celebrated its 25th anniversary last year. However, twenty five years ago, the series made its debut in the United States. The first game in the series hit the NES on August 22, 1988.
This destroyed 3DS XL is saddening

Unfortunately, the 3DS XL above was lost during an anger outburst…
It’s truly a shame to see hardware destroyed in this manner. In this case, the 3DS XL hasn’t been out that long!
This is definitely a Pushmo ripoff

There have been lots of Nintendo-related ripoffs in the past. Some are worse than others. But this latest one – boy oh boy, it’s pretty obvious that the developer took inspiration from one of Nintendo’s eShop games.
Above are screenshots from BlockShift. It’s a title that can be downloaded for the Android platform. You can probably tell that it features the same style and gameplay included in Pushmo, the Nintendo-published and Intelligent Systems-made eShop title. Heck, it even supports QR codes!
I guess the only bright spot in all of this is that BlockShift is free, so at least the developer isn’t looking to make a profit from the game…
