"According to my students, I learned the following:

1. Mini Koopa is Mario’s brother, stepbrother or cousin.
2. How height of someone is directly proportional to how old they are.
3. Mario’s father (or uncle) often kidnaps his own daughter (or niece).
4. It is up to Mario to constantly defeat his father (or uncle) to win the love of his sister.
5. Mario is possibly romantically involved with his sister.

"#5 Nintendo's overused "all-in-one" game token
We hope you love basketball, because so does Mario. In fact, he also enjoys baseball, tennis, kart racing, Mario Parties and golf, and we're 99 percent sure that Nintendo will add hockey and football to his bloated all-star sports resume someday. Look, we know he's the company's most recognizable mascot (Pikachu probably has something to say about that), but we could use a break from seeing his mustachioed, goofball mug on the cover of video gam..."

"Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto is interviewed in the latest issue of Famitsu. While the interview, which was done to commemorate the magazine reaching issue number 1000, is mostly reflection, Miyamoto did give a few hints on future plans.

"The critical popularity of flagship titles, mixed with continued fan attraction to established franchises and the introduction of valuable new IPs (intellectual properties), has also led to considerable commercial success. Software sales are on the rise to the tune of around $10.5 billion (through October) in the United States, while the UK gaming market has taken a total of around £1.52 billion during 2007."

"Now, far be it from me to disagree with Time...I have to call shenanigans on a few things here. First: Halo 3, while a great game, is not as good as BioShock. Halo 3 is still plagued by problems seen in previous games where both level design and gameplay are concerned. BioShock, on the other hand, was a superb gaming experience and should have easily been the top of the bunch on the list."

I've never watched the new Fox News Channel. But if this interview with Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime is any indication, I don't need to watch. The interviewer can hardly say Reggie's title (chief operating officer) and she talks about how it's exceeding "anticipation" (I think she meant expectation). My favourite part, though, is when they post the Super Mario Galaxy metacritic at the bottom of the screen (a 96)."

As for the game itself, Nintendo will not say whether Luigi, Yoshi, or Princess Peach will be playable characters. (or if they're in the game at all) A Nintendo rep has also made clear that there will be many difficult levels present in th...

These screens reveal several of Mario's new powers, such as turning into a bumble bee to fly, and turning into a ghost. They also show Mario fighting a Magikoopa and some other gigantic boss.

"Nintendo’s increasing commitment to casual gamers is plain, and now Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto has said that future games from the company will have a stronger focus on fun and immediacy, and will steer clear of being overly difficult. Forthcoming Wii platformer Super Mario Galaxy, explained Miyamoto to Japanese magazine Famitsu, would typify this new approach."

"Quite a few new details have been revealed from the new screenshots, including a levels set in the desert, on a pirate ship, and what looks to be something of a giant mechanism similar to Super Mario 64’s Tick Tock Clock stage."
