At the end of Comedy Central’s the “Daily Show,’ host Jon Stewart was chatting with Steven Colbert via split-screen. At the end of their discussion, Stewart wanted to convince the young people of America to stop playing Super Mario and vote,”Every four years we hear about your vote rocking powers and every four years you stay home and play Super Mario. Not this time!” Stewart said.
Steven Colbert who plays a conservative talk show hosts using satire replied with, “The only plumber you should be thinking about this election is the one trying to save princess Israel,” Referring to Joe ‘The Plumber.’
Little do they know, if Gears of War 2 came out today — I wouldn’t be saving the world from Locust and letting the rest of the country do the voting. But I guess since we all have to wait until Friday to purchase the game, I’ll just vote…

The Pitch: Mario walks into a house while a kid says he’ll be out in a second. Before we know it, Chris Hansen’s ‘brother’ Ted Hansen comes out with Dateline NBC. We think Mario was just there to teach the kid how dangerous the internet can be.

The Pitch: This is what happens when Mario finally saves the Princess in Super Mario Bros. and what he wants in return as a favor. The video was created by ultra-funny man Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy).

When we first started /gamer almost 2 months ago, one of our first cool stuff features we did was the 3D Super Mario Bros. picture. Today we show you more what Justin Buonvino created at deviantart. The one up top is ‘The Legend of Zelda.’ After the Jump, check out some more.

A few days ago we brought you a mashup of Master Chief action figure and painted as Samus from Metriod. Now Dave Bondi had the idea to bring two mascots - who could be some of the more famous ones around, and also mashed them up. Obviously, just judging by the picture above, you can tell the characters are Mickey Mouse from Disney, and Mario from Nintendo. Not only did he create this awesome model, he also gave it a name and he’s called Akashi. From what we found on the interwebs, Akashi is the name of a city that is southwest of Honsh, Japan. We’re not sure why he was inspired to name him that, but hey, it’s his creation.
Check out more pictures after the jump.

A gameSniped forum member beastiebri, decided to create his own Harmonica out of an NES game. A few months ago we saw someone else do the same with a Tecmo Bowel game. I’m going to go on record saying, this harmonica is way better, because it’s Super Mario 3.
He really should learn the Mario theme!
Thanks to Gonintendo

When I was walking through the halls of E3 this year, I saw someone representing their Mario pride with this T-shirt. I loved it so much, I decided to find it for everyone else to enjoy.
When seeing it on someone, you really have to admire the creativity. Every shirt I’ve seen with cover art on it, is always just sprites and nothing more. But for $18.49, Myteespot.com actually gave the who cartridge some love, by making the shirt designed to look like what you would put in the NES. It’s just so sweet looking…

A little while back, we saw a cool Mario 1 picture in 3D. Justin Buonvino, a user of Deviantart (under the name “=NES–still-the-best), was so influenced by it, he decided to make his own. We think this one is even cooler. Comparing it to the other one, there’s a lot more going on. It’s so detailed, even the characters are pixelated in 3D! Seeing a world like this in a third dimension really shows me, Mario makes no damn sense.
Click the pic it to see it REALLY BIG!

Bladediary.com has posted an awesome flower pot hanging in a alleyway. The Pot was obviously designed to look like a block from Super Mario Bros. If you observe the flower, it also was made to look like a fire flower. No word if you can start throwing fireballs and bounce them off the ground, if one grabs the plant. (more…)

Jaws is my favorite movie, Mario is my favorite video game character. And Ian Austin made the greatest picture of all time. Under the name ~mostlymade at deviantART, Ian got the Idea when he beat his friend at Mario Party 6. Because I find the combination so incredibly awesome, I thought he deserved some recognition for his amazingness.

Cliff Bleszinski, the lead developer of Gears of War 1 and 2, seems to think that the Xbox should start to take the Wii’s approach with the controller. (more…)

Japanese company Nintendo issued a press release announcing a new video game system called: the Nintendo’s Entertainment System. Nintendo promises excitement for the whole family with an included game called Super Mario Brothers. The player will control a little character named Mario through various lands, jumping on mushroom men and little turtles, all while stealing coins and eating other kinds of mushrooms that make you larger at times.
We had the privilege to sit down with the creator of the game Shigeru Miyamoto.
We very happy to bring you new game system. We feel that Mario will be fun time for whole family. I have great time to create game and hope you enjoy very much.
As much as we would love to see another video game unit with our brand new Magnavox 25″ color television (yeah that’s right, we have money) next to our Video Cassette Recorder, we just don’t see anyone else buying it. With the success of the arcades, why would the masses want to sit at home and play on a television. Gaming is meant to be played with people in a arcade center. On top of it, a game of Pac-Man ONLY costs only 25 cents, compared to a blistering $199 for the home video game console and maybe as much as $50 bucks for each game. And seriously, I don’t see this Mario guy selling anything, heck he was a secondary character in Donkey Kong. We’ve already had the fad of the home gaming console with Atari and it failed. Unfortunately for this Nintendo company, it seems like they will suffer the samer fate.
Check out the sexy system shots as well as the gorgeous screens of the game below.
