Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope everyone has been good this year and that Santa brought them whatever they wished for. Here are the Super Mario Bros goodies I received for Xmas:

• New Super Mario Bros.Wii Special Edition Gift Set

Марио против Пакмэна (Mario vs. Pacman) is a cool animation of Mario battling it out with Pac-Man. This cartoon reminds me of Osvaldo Cavandoli's " La Linea (The Line)" from the 80s.

If you haven't purchased a copy of New Super Mario Bros.Wii yet.. then are you waiting for?! Well, you're probably waiting for this sweet Special Edition Gift Set that includes the NSMB.Wii game, t-shirt, (4) static cling Wiimote skins with Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad and Blue Toad and best of all, the New Super Mario Bros.Wii plastic lunch box!. Most Mario Bros. merchandise sells out quick so this NSMB.Wii collector's item is one of my early Xmas gifts! :) Here's what you'll get with this gift set:

Some great minds and Wii addicts have now made it possible to play Wii games on your PC and Mac!   There's an awesome emulator called Dolphin that will allow you to play Nintendo Wii and GameCube games in Windows (2000/XP/Vista/7), Linux and Mac OS X (Intel version).

New Super Mario Bros.Wii is definitely a hard game and there's nothing more frustrating then seeing the "Game Over" and having to replay the last few levels. There's a solution to this and it's Infinite Lives! There are 1UP tricks for single players and 1UP tricks for multiplayer. The multiplayer way seems to be the quickest way to rack up the 1UPs. Here are the different tricks you can try to get infinite 1UPs:

New Super Mario Bros for Wii hasn't been out for more than a month and there's already two level editors! Today we're going to take a look at two NSMB level editors: Tanooki (already released) and Reggie (upcoming).

Tanooki is more than just a Mario suit. Tanooki is a full featured level editor for New Super Mario Bros. Wii, yes NSMB.Wii!. With Tanooki you can customize and change every aspect of every level! This is a nice surprise seeing how NSMB.Wii has only been out for less than a month.

Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen! was a Super Mario Bros. anime only released in Japan back in 1986. Until now, it was all in Japanese... but DiveOffARoofINC of YouTube spent nearly 6 months creating this English dub version. Here are the 6 parts of Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen! *English Dub*

Part 1 of 6:

You know New Super Mario Bros.Wii is hot when an entire store is transformed into the Mushroom Kingdom! That's exactly what happened to the Nintendo World store located in New Yorks Rockefeller Plaza. The store was filled with all sorts of goodies including gaming stations, costumed characters and giveaways. Nintendo also pulled out all kinds of cool memorabilia from their archives including old NES/SNES Mario cartridges, Mario drinks, Mario lunch boxes and a bunch of other Mario shwag. Here's a video of what I wish my office would look like!

Shigeru Miyamoto (General Manager EAD, Nintendo and Mario's dad) reveals World 9 of the New Super Mario Bros Wii on the Nintendo Week channel. He also shows off the "Coin Mode" where all 4 players collect as many coins as they can... the level used is from the original Mario Bros. giving this game a very familiar, nostalgic feel. I can't wait to play this game! 8 Days till release!!!

Super Mario and Wario gets lunch at their favorite fast food place, Carl's Jr.

Here's an awesome Super Mario Bros chess set that's going on my Christmas list! This collectors SMB chess set has 32 hand painted pieces (Mario vs. Bowser), a metal box and game board. The game uses traditional chess rules so you can power-up and start stomping whoever you want. :P

Here's an extremely nerdy way to propose to your girlfriend! Bradsmith182 posted this video on YouTube showing his girlfriend playing a modified version of Super Mario World. Brad used a PC program called Lunar Magic to modify the levels and spell out "lisa... Will you marry me?" using coins. Pretty slick and original way of proposing to your GF! Congrats to Brad and his SMW loving girlfriend!

Charles Martinet - the voice of Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Toadsworth, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi & Baby Wario - talks about the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy 2 and New Super Mario Bros for Wii. He also tells us how he got the Mario gig 20 years ago. btw- the interview starts @ 1m15s incase you want to skip over the hosts jibber-jabbering with each other.

So Nintendo released a new firmware for the Wii - SMU 4.2 and according to some sites, it's breaking Wiis that haven't been modified (Homebrew). Without the updates, you won't be able to access the Shop Channel, News and Forecast Channels. So if you don't care about those channels DO NOT UPDATE YOUR Wii TO 4.2!

Here's a quote from GameSpot:

This generation of consoles has seen firmware updates become frequent and routine. Nearly as commonplace have been the post-patch gamer complaints that the latest update has rendered their systems inoperable.

GAF's Wii Homebrew Tutorial are the most up to date set of Wii tutorials known to mankind and possibly aliens. These tutorials will guide you through everything you never knew you can do with your Nintendo Wii like: backing up your original games onto USB hard drive and playing from the USB hardrive and playing games imported from different regions (Japan/Europe/USA). They're all safe and thousands of people have successfully modified their Wiis to get these features not included with the factory console.

Anyone growing up in the 80s will remember the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and most of you probably still have your cartridges in a box somewhere. It's time to dust off them cartridges and play them in this awesome portable NES system called the Retro Mini Handheld NES System. This portable NES system works with every original full-size 8-bit NES cartridge. The Retro Mini features a 2.4" LCD sceen and it looks sweet!

She's Super Mario (슈퍼마리오의 그녀) by Game life cinema. Translation by kernys and he's sorry about the poor translation. Check out this awesome video.. when this baby hits 1:50, you're going to see some Cornholio sh*t!

This awesome SMB theme medley is performed by Evan (Wario), Rylan (Mario), Cam (Luigi) from some High School. Nice work, dudes! Anyone have the tab for this piece?

Dingoo A 320. Ever heard of it? Most haven't and you won't find one at your local Walmart. The Dingoo A 320 is a gaming handheld that lets you play NES, SNES, Neo Geo, CPS1, CPS2, Sega Genesis and A LOT of other handheld games like the Game Boy, Neo Geo Pocket, Sega Game Gear and more... the list just goes on and on! This little gem also plays videos, audio files and it has a built in FM tuner. The Dingoo A 320 allows you to play all of your favorite old school games like Super Mario Bros! :) Here are a couple of videos of the Dingoo A 320 in action.

"Inglourious Plummers" is a spoof of Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. The mixture of game footage with the cool mario costumes makes this look like an official trailer.

Stupid Mario Brothers - The Movie ACT 1, Part 1

Mario and Luigi begin a new day that's sure to be full of fun, Music, friendship, and Perhaps a little insanity.

There was some goodness going on at the Independent Game Conference '09 (IGC East '09) this year! One of them being this awesome Super Mario Medley by the Video Game Orchestra featuring Niki Mariskanish on Clarinet, Jon Kolar on Electric Bass and Alvaro Morales on Drums. Super Mario Medley: Super Mario Bros., Dungeon Theme, Ocean Theme and Super Mario World.

Have you completed New Super Mario Bros for Nintendo DS? Looking for some new levels? Well, here's a nifty utility that will allow you to edit the existing levels in New SMB and play them! The PC app is called New SMB Editor, written by Treeki.

The Underwater theme is one of my favorite tunes from SMB. Here's lonlonjp from YouTube showing us how nice it can sound on an acoustic guitar. The difficulty level is "M" for Moderate guitarist. Capo = 0 Normal Tuning: EADGBE. I'd really like to get my hands on the sheet music or tab for this piece!
