NL: This is clearly a momentous moment in Nintendo's long history, and one which we perhaps won't fully appreciate until we look back on it in a few years. Not only are we leaving the Iwata era - a period which saw the company rise majestically from third-place to first in the domestic hardware sector, only to drop unceremoniously back down again - into a new phase in which new boss Kimishima could end up being little more than a stop-gap, introduced to steady the ship before handing the reigns over to someone younger and more dynamic. This time next year we could well have an exciting new Nintendo console, a burgeoning smartphone business and perhaps even a new president - but the starting point for such incredible change is arguably now. While Iwata's tragic passing was clearly something that Nintendo couldn't have anticipated that far in advance, the changes to its internal structure will almost certainly have been months in the planning, and those at the helm are clearly consid...

Many of us remember this as the days of the 32-Bit era (Sega Saturn, PSOne, Nintendo 64) and earlier- more fondly at about the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis era. The RETRO VGS is taking this seriously, it is not just lip service, as the medium for the games is cartridges, not CD-ROM, not DVDs, not downloadable over an Internet store. This may sound like one of the stupidest things ever but for many, it is an exciting event.

Just as important is the modern digital infrastructure for sharing user-designed stages. Super Mario Maker would have been a flop on hardware that requires physical media, but in our modern Internet age once a completed course has been uploaded to Nintendos servers, anyone in the world can play it. Well, anyone in the world can play it if its good. If its not, then Nintendo will just go ahead and delete your creation.

The Super Mario Bros. franchise is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Super Mario Maker for Wii U will for the first time give fans the chance to create their own creative retro-inspired stages when the game launches tomorrow. So it seems like a good chance for Mario series creator Shigeru Miyamoto to respond to long-standing fan rumors. One of the triguing theories is that Super Mario Bros. 3 did not actually happen. According to the Internet rumor, it was all just an elaborate stage play. But is it actually true?
