In Soviet Russia, Mario moves you
We're very partial to this Moving Mario art display, made by Keith Lam. We have to admit -- part of our love comes from the fact that it reminds us of The Price Is Right's "Cliff Hanger" game (you know, the one with the yodeler?). Sure, that's a far stretch, but we can't help where the synapses in our brains lead.
Still, the main attraction of this display is the fact that it represents a side-scroller in its truest form. One where the player is the one moving, that is. Using a Famicom controller, the player moves the "television," and then follows along. All in all, it's a nice literal translation of "paper" Mario. Well done, Mr. Lam.
*Note: This display and post has actually nothing to do with Soviet Russia. We just couldn't resist the immature use of an internet meme. Forgive us.

VC Friday: Damn, it feels good to be a scroller
What does Nintendo Europe do to follow up Ocarina of Time? Throw a few more side-scrolling titles onto the Virtual Console, of course! At this point, we're starting to think that the VC's subtitle should be something like: All the side-scrolling fun you'll ever need!If all the shooty/fighty games aren't quite your style, there's a little variety, too. Four games -- not a bad week!
Available in Europe on this fine Friday:
- Bio-hazard Battle (Sega Mega Drive) - 800 Wii points
- Chew-Man-Fu (TurboGrafx) - 600 Wii points
- Streets of Rage (Sega Mega Drive) - 800 Wii points
- Sword of Vermillion (Sega Mega Drive) - 800 Wii points
