Wii love Mario, but we're not too thrilled about Nintendo's new Terms of Service (TOS) for its 3DS handheld. In the TOS, Nintendo is threatening to remotely destroy any 3DS handhelds that are found to be modified or using unauthorized devices. This is what Nintendo has in their 3DS Terms of Service:

Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii is a full hack by a team of Mario fanatics! This game will work on any Wii capable of running Wii homebrew software. This game will include new maps with hundreds of new levels, new music, gameplay mechanics, graphics and new enemies (along with some borrowed ones from New Super Mario Bros.The release date for this fan-made/modified Super Mario Bros. game is Nov. 2011.

Re: Wii's successor system

Mario Kart is one of the best selling go-kart style racing video games ever developed! Nintendo has released 8 Mario Kart games to date: Super Mario Kart for NES, Mario Kart 64 for Nintendo 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit for GBA, Mario Kart: Double Dash for GameCube, Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart Wii and two Mario Kart Arcade GP standup arcade games. Mario Kart for the new Nintendo 3DS is due out sometime later this year. If you've played all of these games then you're probably a Mario Kart addict like me!

Nintendo has officially released their newest handheld console in the USA, the Nintendo 3DS! Currently the available colors are Aqua Blue and Cosmo Black. We have both colors on order so they should be in our hands within a week, hopefully sooner! :) If you haven't had a chance to play with a 3DS yet, I suggest you run down to your local Walmart and wait in line to get your turn on the 3DS floor demo. The best feature is the impressive 3DS experience without the need for special 3D glasses. There's also a 3DS effect slider where it'll take and display 3D photos with the dual front and rear facing cameras. The 3DS comes with a bunch of software including a GBA Virtual Console (emulator) and Internet browser. There's also going to be Netflix available in May!

We just found this gem on YouTube by a user named Jimmy. Jimmy created this awesome A Capella version of our favorite Super Mario Bros. theme song by cutting all the tracks himself.

The following video shows what Super Mario Bros would sound like if you added Quake3D-like effects. Personally, I prefer the original sounds.. but this is still funny to watch.

Nintendo was founded in late 1889 as a playing card company, originally named Nintendo Koppai. Nintendo was based in Kyoto, Japan, the business created play cards called Hanafuda. Hanafuda, meaning "flower cards," is a traditional Japanese card game that dates back to the 1500s. It is said that the modern design of the card set was created in the mid 1700s.

Nintendo's new 3DS handheld console is due out in March and there are rumors floating around that it works with existing flash cards. Someone managed to plug their AceKard RPG flash card into one of the Nintendo 3DS display units at the Tokyo Game Show 2010 - and it worked! This is good news for the homebrew community and for all you AceKard flash cards owners. Most homebrew developers will not fork up the cash for a 3DS Dev Kit from Nintendo, so this alternative rewritable 3DS blank flash cartridge would be great to test your homebrew software/games, play MP3s, videos and copy/consolidate your existing DS/DSi/3DS cartridges onto one cartridge. The AceKard flash card has been available for some time now and it works with the original DS, DS Lite, DSi and apparently it works on the soon to be released Nintendo 3DS. Joy!

Here's a handy AceKard flash card buyer's guide:
