World of Nintendo
20 more Nintendo happenings in the real world
6)Nintend-owned
If you’ve ever wanted to see inside Nintendo’s old Kyoto HQ2 - abandoned but, curiously, not stripped of vintage Nintendo memorabilia - here’s one brazen gaijin’s video.
7)Line Rider Mario
It’s an exact replica of the first level of Super Mario Bros, recreated in the online Line Rider program. How can such a thing be possible? See the YouTube video and dare your eyes to believe.
8)Be very afraid
This is the Operata de Miyamoto, created by a musical genius/potential serial killer at MySpace. It begins: “Miyamoto from Kyoto; he made Mario for Nintendo” and turns into a sweary declaration of man-love that had us spitting chocolate milk all over our keyboard. Visit if you dare. Warning: contains swearing and man-love.
