Title: Weekend Movie(s): Momotaro & SMG DS
Post by: Super-Jesse on April 20, 2008, 02:26:48 AM: (https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fthemushroomkingdom.net%2Fimages%2Fblog%2Ftmkblogfp.jpg&hash=76c019b49e405b8dee279b52efa5e75b)
To further those sessions between gaming, TMKblog will be providing you with Weekend Movie. These posts will highlight Mario related videos from fans, readers, or the staff themselves. If you come across a video, or videos, feel free to submit it!

This weekend, we have a double feature, thanks to two Fungi Forum users. SushieBoy sent me our first movie, "Momotaro". This video splices together peices from the Japanese only Super Mario Bros. anime movie (http://themushroomkingdom.net/mania/smbtgmtrpp.shtml). The result is something that will keep you entertained for the video duration, if only to see if it goes somewhere.

I found inspiration for our second video thanks to a topic brought up by Tutlekid1 (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=11534.0). For some reason, as I read the thread (linked in the previous sentence), I thought of "Super Mario Galaxy DS". If you didn't hear about this title, then you definitely have to check out what could have been (or may one day be).

Two interesting videos, one jam-packed weekend! Make sure to make room for our Weekend Movies, "Momotaro" and "Super Mario Galaxy DS".

As for the SMGDS "trailer", although I don't think that would be the best idea in real life, it's still an extremely well-done--shall we say, art project?--that plays with your head. In fact, I believe it's made by the same guy who fashioned that teaser for the fake "Nintendo ON" VR console (and the follow-up, bizarre, teaser involving 3-D).

Post by: The Chef on April 24, 2008, 08:02:26 AM: Also, if you look close enough you can see that the "DS" that the game is being played on is actually a CG render itself. The stylus is not being held by a person's hand; it's just eerily floating in mid-air.
