Are you a huge Super Mario Bros. fan that just so happens to have nearly twenty grand burning a hole in your pocket? If so, you can pick up this limited edition Super Mario Bros. timepiece from luxury watch maker Romain Jerome for just $18,950.
Did I mention that all it does is tell time (meaning it’s not a smartwatch)?
When a mysterious “Nintendo PlayStation” prototype with both an SNES cartridge slot and a CD drive made the rounds back in July, many remained skeptical. Not even Sony PlayStation’s head of Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida, wanted to confirm its authenticity. Or perhaps he just didn’t want to bring up the bad blood between his company and Nintendo over this failed collaboration.
On November 21st 2015, the Toledo Walleye, along with the Fort Wayne Komets of the ECHL, will step onto the ice wearing these incredible 8-bit inspired jerseys, all in the name of NES night.
I must say that we totally envy fans who live in ECHL markets, as the league easily has the most creative and fun jersey nights in all of hockey. By now, the Toledo Walleye have pretty much become household names in the world of hockey, earning the unique distinction of being perhaps the most fun team in all of hockey when it comes to their uniforms.

A new Super Mario Bros. speedrun world record has been set and it looks damned near perfect. It’s mostly a vanilla run, meaning the player doesn’t use many glitches aside from one allowing access to the second warp pipes in a strange way.
From darbian, world record as of 10/18/2015. This was done on an actual NES console.

Last month we celebrated the 20th anniversary of Sony’s PlayStation, a revolutionary console that propelled Sony to the forefront of gaming in the mid-90s. Over the weekend, it was another console that earned recognition from millions of gaming fans.
The 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System went on sale October 18, 1985 in North America (it was initially released as the Family Computer, or Famicom, more than two year earlier in Japan). The system arrived just a few years after the video game crash of 1983 with well over a dozen launch titles including Baseball, Duck Hunt, Excitebike, Golf, Pinball and of course, Super Mario Bros. The console spawned a number of classics over its lifetime such as Super Mario Bros. 3, The Legend of Zelda, Punch-Out, R.C. Pro-AM and Castlevania, just to name a few.
Interestingly enough, Nintendo never produced a 32-bit console thanks to a failed partnership with Sony to develop a CD-ROM for the SNES. Sony continued to develop its CD-based console without Nintendo which ultimately became the PlayStation.
Many have dubbed the original NES the best / most important console of all-time, a statement that many who grew up playing Nintendo’s “Control Deck” would probably agree with.
Happy Birthday, NES!
