Necklaces, keyrings, dolls, Lego and... wine charms?!
Let's face it - over the years, Mario has been pretty well merchandised. Chances are if you can buy it, you can buy it with Mario's grinning face on it.
Koopa, Goomba and Super Mushroom want to help out.
Even though everybody complains about the price of plumbers these days, Mario obviously isn't raking enough in from the old pipes and taps, so he's expanding into storage - USB storage, to be precise.
Good morning everybody - very grey and blustery here in York today. Luckily for me it's another day off, so it's feet up, game on today!

Those vaunted 10,000 conjurable in-game items in Scribblenauts had to come from somewhere, but we had always assumed they came from the fevered minds of the development team, bouncing ideas off each other and being all "creative". As it turns out, the truth is far less interesting.
Virtua Tennis and Let's Tap this Friday, The Conduit next Friday... best put those Wii Remotes on charge and cancel all other appointments!

So we had Mario and Luigi running around in that 3-D world, but we ended up not using it.
New trademark application in the US suggests so.
There are some combinations in the world that just seem natural: fish and chips, ham and eggs, plumbers and magical kingdoms.

Can't believe Mitsuhara Misawa died this week! I shall break out my copy of All-Japan Pro Wrestling featuring Virtua in tribute.
