Video shows id Software’s 25-year-old Super Mario Bros. 3 demo for PC
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Videos | 7 Comments
During id Software’s very early days, a demo was created for Super Mario Bros. 3. This wasn’t an ordinary demo, however, as it was actually running on a PC.
id Software originally created “Dangerous Dave In Copyright Infringement”, a recreation of World 1-1 featuring characters from John Romero’s Dangerous Dave. The Super Mario Bros. 3 demo was based on this. Nintendo was presented with it, but didn’t sign off on the project since they wanted to keep Mario on its own systems.
25 years later, a video showing the Super Mario Bros. 3 PC demo was shared by Romero on Vimeo today – watch it below. It’s a neat little piece of gaming history!
Happy 25th Birthday, Commander Keen! In honor I'm sharing a video of our SMB3 demo we made for Nintendo on 9/28/1990.https://t.co/R2GlSYCoBM

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Videos | 9 Comments
Following CoroCoro’s coverage, the Mythical Pokemon Volcanion has been officially revealed. The creature was shown in a new trailer today, which you can watch below.
Here’s an official overview of Volcanion:
“Unlike any Pokémon discovered before it, this Pokémon is both Fire and Water type. It uses fire and water to create steam within its body, expelling explosive shock waves and boiling steam from the arms on its back. The power is said to be great enough to blow away an entire mountain, gouging out the earth and changing the shape of the land.”
Volcanion can’t be encountered through regular gameplay. We’ll be hearing more about the Pokemon soon.
