For many of us, video games bring back memories of summers and Saturday mornings past spent in imaginative worlds that we were ever so briefly a part of, or of the inevitable struggle to be player one with friends or siblings. Or, they remind us of, like, a few hours ago. Either way, you’re bound to […]
Nintendo is in right now. The switch is off to a fast start, and now they’ve got a brand new T-shirt collection courtesy of Uniqlo. Get familiar, because whether you wear them or not, you’ll be seeing a lot of these T-shirts this summer. The Uniqlo + Nintendo collection is 25 designs strong, and they’re […]
A lot of us (full disclosure: me included) got a package last weekend or headed to the nearest store that does video games — the Switch, Nintendo’s latest video game console, is here. It’s not in the Guinness Book of World Records (I guess, I didn’t check), but if there was a record for most […]
Carrera is know for their fun Mario Kart toys, but at Toy Fair this year, they weren’t interested in staying on the ground. Mario and friends are taking to the skies with these mini-helicopters. Instead of a wing cap, Mario gets a couple of rotors to propel his caped self up into the sky. But, […]
Mario Maker is one of the best games on the Wii U, and we acknowledge that that is both commentary on how rad Mario Maker is and how few standout games the Wii U has. But, even if the Wii U catalog was the greatest ever, the newest addition to the custom level creator would launch the […]
To be honest, I’m not totally sure what to think about this little video, but its heart seems to be in the right place. The creators of the video are raising awareness about the importance of handicap accessibility with a little help from Mario (and especially Luigi) by making World 1-1 wheelchair-friendly — there were […]

Roystan Ross, a Unity developer, has recreated the first world in Super Mario 64, Bob-Omb Battlefield, in glorious high definition, and you can play it […]
Next time you sit down to make a YouTube video of yourself playing as obscure of a theme as possible from a Mario game, make sure you’ve got the right guitar in hand. We’re talking about this custom-made Mario Guitar from Etsy seller AustralianGamers, and it’s a must for any musically-inclined Mario fan. First of […]
Maybe it’s that the Wii U isn’t doing so hot, but Mario sure does seem to be jumping into a lot of merchandise lately. Newest one we’ve got? Super Mario Connect 4. Pretty sneaky, bro.
Mario is taking another historic leap this year – into the world of action figures, thanks to Bandai and S.H. Figuarts. The new Mario action figure got a proper unveiling at the American International Toy Fair this year, with a huge display feature the action figure in, well, action. S.H. Figuarts created a few displays […]
It’s like if there was a kangaroo suit in Super Mario Bros. 3, and Mario just put it on. Except, it’s a terrible experience for Mario, because he has to be the joey, not the jumper. Then again, it’s still probably not as bad as getting stuck with the frog suit out of water.
