Video Games I Would Have if I Had $ and Time

Ever since I went back to college I haven't had the time or money to get into video games, but I like to torture myself sometimes by following the latest hype. So I decided to compile for myself a list that I can come back to when I'm rich and living a life of leisure. And then I can pay twice the price for all the games that are considered 'rare'.
Here's the list in no particular order:

Zelda is What?!?!?

This video is further proof that Link from A Link to the Past needs to wear pants.

Super Mario Stuff That Must Be Seen

It's been a very Mario kind of day.

Thing #1 I have to share comes via GoNintendo:

The cover of the final issue of Nintendo Power. This is the same layout as the cover of the first issue from 25 years ago with vastly improved clay figures and a newly added flag pole to signal the end. I was thinking it would be sad to see the very last one, and then they went and did this and it's so awesome! How can you see this and be sad? I think it's a nice way to wrap things up.










Thing #2:


...is this amazing stop motion video. This is actually the third one these guys have done and all the figures were made with those bead kits that you bake to melt the plastic together. It always reminds me of Teeny Little Super Guy. I call him Teeny Little Super Mario.

To see a making of video hit the jump. Make sure to turn on the captions unless you are fluent in Swedish. I'm somewhat passable in Swedish Chef.

New Nintendo Wii Mini

Here's a strange thing. Nintendo is launching a smaller, less costly version of the Wii for the Christmas holidays but it cannot play GameCube games or access the internet. Weirder still, it will only be available in Canada, at least for now. Since when do we get exclusives like this? I can kind of see parents buying this to hook up in the kids' bedroom, attached to one of those Disney Princess TVs from Toys R Us. I don't know why else you'd want a crippled Wii console, but I love the boxy look. Yup, I'm one of those freaks that likes it when their toys look like toys. Forget you, Apple.

I guess this could work at the cottage. I wonder if it has collectible potential.
