My Nintendo Theme

Here We Go!!
My Nintendo is finally here, along with Nintendo's first ever mobile app for IOS and Android. Well, once you get started using Miitomo, you can quickly earn enough points to purchase a couple Super Mario rewards. Including a 3DS Home theme to commemorate the launch of Miitomo. Right now there's two themes available, Donkey Kong and Mario!! Mario's theme has new music and the words "My Nintendo" on the lower screen. Of course with badges and things, those words may be covered up, but the theme still doesn't look too bad, not bad at all. The music in this theme is titled "Something for you". The background is stationary but looks very nice, even in 3D. This reward will be available for purchase via My Nintendo until May 1st 2016

SNES Flappy Mario

Here We Go!!
OK, practically all the world hates Flappy Bird, right? Well Speedrunner Sethbling actually injected the code to run the Flappy Bird game into Super Mario World, making Mario the bird and the graphics of Super Mario World into the elements of the game. Flappy Bird already steals the warp pipe element from Super Mario so this seems so easy, right? Wrong! This code injection without PC, without hacking the console, just by playing the game on the console with a few added hookups (example: Remotes with taped-down buttons), is incredible. See how it all happened in the video below:

Mario Kart TV is shutting down

Here We Go!!


The Mario Kart TV website, which lets you watch highlight videos posted from Mario Kart 8, will be closing down as of 11:00 PM PT on Monday, April 4th 2016. We are very thankful to the many people who have used this website since it launched in 2014.
Even after the website shuts down, it will still be possible to watch Mario Kart TV and upload highlights from within Mario Kart 8 itself.
Highlight videos uploaded to YouTube from the game will not be deleted after the website shuts down.

This is awful, the highlight website was awesome and it made it all feel like a real racing brand that broadcasted it's races throughout the Mushroom kingdom. It's sad to know it's closing down, but it's still good that we will still be allowed to upload our races to YouTube.

Mario Theme Park

Here We Go!!


Wouldn't it be awesome if we could ride the Fludd pack from Super Mario Sunshine?! Well, no promises but the new theme parks from Nintendo are coming soon according sankei.com, starting in Japan (of course)... This will be a ZONE to the left of the entry gate at Universal Studios Japan/Universal Parks for Japan. This is all reported by  sankei.com first, below:

"USJ, 400 億 new attraction of the Nintendo Mario is on the left side front gate
It is scheduled to be installed on the left side just a place on the front gate, to assume the area that are currently used, such as in the event space. Although little land that can be extended to USJ, to secure a space in that transfer of the area that you are using, such as in the waiting room of the office and the employee which is adjacent to the event space is also to consider.
 USJ November last year, was acquired by the US media giant Comcast. In the new Chief Executive Officer Jean Mr. Louis Bonnier, who took office in (CEO) in February conference, he had shown a positive attitude to the large-scale investment to USJ."~ (translated by Google) sankei.com

Nintendo Direct Mario-Time-Recap

Here We Go!!

OK, so Mario didn't have a whole lot to mention from this direct, except that Nintendo's reconfirmed the release of Mario & Sonic at The Rio Olympics. A new game is Paper Mario Color Splash (taking ideas from Super Mario Sunshine for splattering paint instead of washing it away) for the Wii U, but that's a spin-off compared to Super Mario Maker!



 Super Mario Maker is getting a new update!! It's getting those piston things with spikes on them and keys/ key doors that allow the maker of the level make it mandatory to beat boss battles. Now I can force players to beat my mini-boss stages!!

Mario Maker costumes: Jizo Mario

Here We Go!!

Know how Mario can turn into a statue and be protected in SMB3? And in Super Mario 3D Land??  Well they've made a costume for it in Super Mario Maker. I know, I know, Why ANOTHER costume?! Honestly I have no idea, it doesn't seem that this new costume has any real significance. No special abilities or anything, it just shows Mario hiding behind the ol' statue he used to turn into in SMB3. All I want for Super Mario World now, is slopes and the cape feather in NSMBU mode.
Anyways, here it is:

1 Million Badge collectors

Here We Go!!


Hey, remember The Nintendo Badge arcade? Of course you do, well now over 1 million people in the world are using it. So from now until next Thursday you can receive 2 free plays every day when you visit the badge arcade (we mean digitally, of course). Anyways, I guess the badges that are most collected are (drum roll please...) Super Mario Maker Badges. Not surprising really, technically they're Super Mario World bages (the majority of them). Note: Those of you who don't know, you can collect badges on here to use to decorate your 3DS HOME menu.

Here's a post by me, regarding the matter:
