Video Game Chat / Re: How to spend Club Nintendo point today?
« on: March 31, 2015, 11:47:32 AM »
What about getting something you haven't played before? Or maybe wait until the Elite rewards to be revealed, just in case one of those are included?

They probably have X amount of codes generated for each game and have to wait for more if they run out.

Latest News / Gold Mario amiibo announced for USA
« on: February 26, 2015, 11:49:17 AM »
A gold-colored version of the upcoming Mario amiibo was announced today by Nintendo of America in a press release. Releasing alongside the Super Mario amiibo series on March 20, the gold Mario amiibo will be exclusive to 3,000 Walmart stores in the U.S., according to Nintendo.

The announcement comes three weeks after gold and silver Mario amiibos were leaked on Nintendo's website.

Maybe if I show this to NOA they'll finally fix their release date for Soccer, which they still think was 1987.

Game Blog / Mini Mario is the star of new Mario vs. DK cover art
« on: February 12, 2015, 10:54:36 PM »
Though Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars will be a digital-only release in the U.S. and Europe, the pack shots released today by Nintendo of Europe show that they plan to sell download codes at retail stores as well.

Releasing a game case just to hold a download code might seem silly at first, but having something physical in stores will help drive more sales. And with its bold red background and a Mini Mario that seems to be popping out of the cover, this package is sure to catch the eyes of shoppers.


In Japan, Nintendo will include the actual Wii U game disc or 3DS game card in the cases, which means that the neat artwork won't be obscured by the "Hey, you're only buying a download code!" notices.


And now, a question for our readers: Would you rather buy the game case for a code, or save the extra step and order it from the eShop?

Also, the timer does not move at all during the time that Mario's on screen. Probably not from a game.
The timer does tick down from 381 to 380.

Is it possible video/ROM editing really *was* more efficient than playing through to an actual level with a Koopa that looks good on TV?
Probably. Since they needed a Koopa Troopa on a pipe to match up with the joke, hacking one into the first stage would definitely be easier than going through all the levels trying to find one.

It's possible there was some really good video editing here. But based on how real it looks and the enemy placement, I'm leaning towards ROM hack.

Normally, I think you're correct that the Koopa would have walked off the pipe, but as you can see in the game footage here (skip to 3:30), the Koopa drops down onto the pipe, as if someone placed his spawn point in midair, which slowed him down a bit. With all the SMB level editors available, it wouldn't be too hard to change the Goomba that was supposed to be next to the pipe into a Koopa and move him upward.

Game Blog / Altered Super Mario Bros. appears on The Daily Show
« on: February 05, 2015, 02:49:16 PM »
The Daily Show host Jon Stewart has spiced up his jokes with Mario references before, but last night's show included one with a twist.

In the first segment, while joking about how Senator Mitch McConnell looks like a turtle, a few seconds of Super Mario Bros. gameplay was shown, featuring a green Koopa Troopa on a pipe in World 1-1. If you're familiar with the game, you might have noticed something odd: There's not supposed to be a Koopa Troopa there.

Here's a screencap from Comedy Central's stream:


And here's the section from World 1-1 that was shown, with correct enemy starting points, taken from our map of the level:


Assuming The Daily Show didn't make their own Super Mario Bros. ROM hack just for that one segment, the source of the footage is unclear. Did they grab the footage from somebody else's ROM hack? Or do they have really good video editors with lots of SMB experience? Tell us what you think in the forums, or, send us an email and we might include it in our next mailbag article.

Game Blog / Nintendo Direct delivers Mario news deluge
« on: January 14, 2015, 11:20:50 PM »
Today's Nintendo Direct was packed with release dates, game announcements, and amiibo news. Let's take a look at what's new in Mario's world.

* Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Edition was announced for Japan a week ago, and today's Direct revealed a Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Edition combo pack for North America, Europe, and Australia. The two-game set is currently scheduled for a May release.

* A Super Mario series of amiibo was unveiled. The lineup includes six figures: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Bowser, and Toad. They will look different than the Super Smash Bros. amiibos, and, like some of the Smash Bros. figures, they can be used to open an Amiibo Party Mode in Mario Party 10. The Toad amiibo will unlock an 8-bit Toad sprite hunt in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker in a future game update.

* Starting today, you can download Super Mario Galaxy 2 from the eShop and play it on your Wii U -- without going into Wii Mode. More Wii game downloads will be available in the future, including Donkey Kong Country Returns. Nintendo has Super Mario Galaxy 2 priced at half off ($9.99) for its first week on the eShop. Donkey Kong Country Returns will release in Japan on January 21, and in Europe on January 22.

* Mario Party 10 release dates were announced: March 20 in North America and Europe, March 12 in Japan, and March 21 in Australia. A limited edition bundle with a Mario amiibo packed in is also planned.

* The Mario vs. DK game shown at E3 2014 is now called Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars. Nintendo also announced a 3DS version today, and if you purchase the Wii U version you'll get a free download code for the 3DS version, and vice-versa. Both versions will launch in North America on March 5, in Japan on March 19, in Europe on March 20, and in Australia on March 21.

What are you most excited about? Let us know in the forums!
