As much as we’d like this to be real, it isn’t. Maybe we’ll see a real F-Zero trailer at E3 2012 if we’re lucky!

Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 was, as you would expect, only released for arcades. Now it appears someone has got it running on the Wii through homebrew.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Not the prettiest results, but you have to give these guys credit for their work… was probably just a rough import in any case!

A little bit of fan art for the weekend. deviantART user “jmatchead” describes his image as “an idea for how Kid Icarus’ comeback would have looked had Sakurai and HAL Labs. gotten their hands on it back in the day.”

Even though this is slightly creepy, it’s strangely amusing. Village People’s “Macho Man” is a surprisingly good fit for this video…

Enjoy this weekend’s randomocity!

Thanks to Jordan N for the tip.

Late last year, artist Sean Ng created a number of pieces showcasing what a futuristic Zelda could look like. “The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of the Future” set resulted from his interest in seeing “what Hyrule would be like in some strange, parallel, bombed out universe”.

Ng was able to complete his work in seven weeks.

You can find a bunch of “Echoes of the Future” art in the gallery above. More details about the project are located here.

I have to admit: I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for musicals. I was brought up on Broadway shows and even local productions.

So I guess you could say I have an biased opinion when I say that the above video is incredible. A fan has taken the events of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and mushed them into a four-minute musical. There’s some nice 2D pixel animation, the voice performances aren’t too shabby, and it has some enjoyable humor (though some of it isn’t suited for small children…).

Have a look for yourself above!

Super Mario Kart just got more realistic. One fan has combined an exercise bike with an Arduino microcontroller, sensors, and switches into a comparable SNES controller.

According to YouTube uploader “statuswoe”:

“Peddling at a certain rate holds down the A button to accelerate, left and right are buttons on the handlebars and there is a red button in the middle of the handlebars for using special items.”

I could imagine this becoming tiring after a short while, but it’s certainly a unique way to play Super Mario Kart.

Completely random, yet totally awesome.
