This Is A Fraction Of It I’m Sure

I know I overdo it with the infographics but I keep coming across ones that are just too fun to not post. While I am not a Wii addict like most of the people that I know or a true fan boy anymore I still get nostalgic over anything classic Nintendo related. As Mario is shown predominantly here and he has always been the clear favored of anyone who enjoys Nintendo I figured.. hell with it I don’t feel like typing anything today anyway with how busy work is!

The Duck Hunt Dog Is EVIL

Dueling Analogs has uncovered the truth behind The Laughing Dog. From terrorist attacks to assassinations to religious wars this dog is behind some of the greatest evils that have occurred on that planet. Even though we knew Bert is evil (from Sesame Street) everyone only thought The Laughing Dog was an annoyance.

The documents that have been uncovered prove so much more though! Sadly the footage they recovered from the video camera that was watching the room the information was locked in is all that remains. They couldn’t even find the body of the man caught on film here as the entire warehouse was destroyed 5 minutes after the final scene that they were able to recover.

Super Mario Brothers 3 Never Happened

Now THIS is a great take on Super Mario Brothers 3. If you’ve ever taken over analyzing video games too far you can fully appreciate how a few very simple patterns led to the conclusion that Super Mario Brothers 3 was actually not a game you were playing through but a play. Having played this games a ‘few’ times when I was younger I can absolutely agree that when put in this perspective it makes sense.

Mario Brothers was all in sewers and turned our plumbers into Super Mario Brothers where they entered the Mushroom Kingdom. At the end of this tale Super Mario Brothers (we’re going with the United Stated time line and skipping over the real Super Mario Brothers 2 as to not confuse anyone who didn’t know a different one existed) Bowser was beaten. We enter Super Mario Brothers 2 at this point which turns out to just have been a dream. Super Mario Brothers 3? Simply a recreation to embellish the heroic tale of our favorite plumber and in all this time no action was taken which is what truly gave Bowser the opportunity to wreak such havoc in Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo. He had plenty of time between Super Mario Brothers and Super Mario World to both create a new army AND build his air ship and strange smiley helicoptermobile.

When you think about it – it all makes sense.

Remember when video games weren’t dumbed down with save points every so often and you had to actually think about how to beat a level? Or at the very least memorize the repetative movements the enemies would go through to avoid them?

Seriously this is one of those “so bad it’s good” moments. The Internet (or more specifically Firefox) is able to tell you how to save Zelda with a single mouse click.
