Super Mario Bros. 2 was not my favorite in the series of SMB. But looks like someone thought getting it tatoo’ed on your arm would look cool. I do have to say that this is the first time inking Peach on your arm is acceptible.
Thanks for the Tip mm3rky9000
When it comes to video game characters, it’s hard not to love Mario. The problem with Mario on the web is that just about everything that could possibly be done to him has already been done. In the middle of an odd conversation about Ernst Ruska, the thought came to our heads that no one has ever posted (that we know of) an image of what Mario might look like under an electron microscope, so we decided to give it our best shot.

The much anticipated release of the coolest firmware to date will be released on Wednesday July 2nd. To go along with the in-game XMB will also be PS3’s Trophy System. Here’s what we can expect and what game we can expect to see the Trophy system in use:
Super Stardust HD, a PLAYSTATION Network-exclusive released in June 2007, will be the first game to leverage Trophies and will offer a variety of trophies. Trophy support in Super Stardust HD will be available for first-time users who purchase the game soon after firmware v2.40 is released, while those who previously purchased and downloaded the title will be prompted to install a free patch.
PS3 users can expect to see additional games bringing Trophies support to their feature sets through 2008 and beyond, providing even greater opportunity to showcase their accomplishments and compete with friends. The following first-party games are also slated to offer Trophy support:
- BUZZ! Quiz TV
- LittleBigPlanet
- MotorStorm Pacific Rift
- NBA 09 - PS3
- PAIN
- PixelJunk Eden
- Resistance 2
- SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation
- Warhawk
To further emphasize the community aspects of this system software update, the amount of people you can add to your PSN friends list has been doubled, to 100.
I will be really impressed if Sony goes back to previous first-party games. Resistance would be a great reason to blow the dust off the cover and slide that bad boy in! Anyone interested in Pixel Junk Monsters Trophies?

[Updated May 23rd, 2008] What makes video games successful? Is it the marketing, the gameplay or the name? While the correct answer is not known, what IS known is that Video Gamers know what they want. I’ve listed below the “Top 5 Selling Video Games on Every Gaming Platform” with how much revenue they’ve made. Did you know all of the games for PS2 begin with a letter “G”?
Atari 2600
1. Pac-Man (7 million)
2. Pitfall! (4 million)
3. Missile Command (2.5 million)
4. Demon Attack (2 million)
5. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1.5 million)
Nintendo Entertainment System
1. Super Mario Bros. (40.23 million)
- DuckHunt (28.31 million)
2. Super Mario Bros. 3 (18 million)
3. Super Mario Bros. 2 (7.46 million)
4. The Legend of Zelda (6.51 million)
5. Tetris (5.58 million)
I’ve seen bundled games before, NES Powerpad with Super Mario Brothers/ Duck Hunt/ Track & Field and the classic Mario Paint with a mouse and pad, but is the Wii Fit too much for $90 USD. What Nintendo promises to have is a board that moves left to right and provides strengthening activities. Exercising on the Wii is as accurate as the number meter at the deli counter… they’re always wrong. But if you promote good health and put a Wii sticker on it, it will sell. Just ask the Japanese!

Product: Wii Fit Board
System: Nintendo Wii
Price: $90
On May 19th, expect some Wii Fanboy to begin to record his hours, and show us his results on the Wii Fit Board. Within that schedule he will show us how Wii Fit will include over 40 fitness-inspired activities, including yoga, aerobics, strength training and balance activities. I’m a believer in Old School training: chasing a chicken, drinking raw eggs and punching dead cattle. If the Wii can reproduce the same results without clogging my atteries with cholesterol driven embryos, I’ll pay the Ninety dollars. But they’re getting my dough in Canadian money (wait is that stronger than the US dollar?).
Couldn’t think of anything for this, they look too happy - hairy armpits? See I told ya… Nothing
