News Super Mario Bros. Movie Due to Receive an Ultimate Steelbook Blu-Ray Re-release
"This ain't no game, it's a live action thrill ride"
The Super Mario Bros. movie doesn't need any sort of introduction. Not only does it feature one of the worst post-credits scenes known to cinema, it was also considered the poster-child for why you shouldn't base your film off of a renowned video game franchise. UK retailer Zavvi has updated its...

Video Get Into the Anniversary Spirit With This Retro Mario 3DS HOME Theme
Yes please, Nintendo
The 3DS HOME Theme shop in Japan has plenty of additions every week, a number of which will never make it to the West.

Book Review 33 1/3 - Koji Kondo's Super Mario Bros. Soundtrack
Going deep into the classics
The themes of Super Mario Bros. are such a prominent part of our culture that they're easily celebrated, but perhaps not so easy to truly appreciate.

It may be a cult classic but the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie was a critical and commercial bomb. Despite the fairly obvious lesson that the Mushroom Kingdom and Hollywood don't mix, it would appear that the movie industry's memory is a short one; Sony Pictures is apparently very close to...

It never stops
Super Mario Bros. is a title that, even after all this time, remains as a central pillar and identifying feature of Nintendo — as a launch title for NES and the game that brought Mario to prominence as a mascot, it's still played and loved to this day.
