Known as “Go Go Mario”, the Super Mario Bros. theme was given Japanese lyrics. Check out the video for a performance of the song and the English translation of the lyrics. The video clip was taken from the “Mario and Zelda Big Band live” concert that was held on September 14th, 2003 at the Nihon Seinenkan Hall in Tokyo, Japan. The clip was part of a mini-DVD that came with a UK Gamecube magazine.

Well… The Mario song is great but… I think we all should all be thankful that we only get to hear the instrumental version. Scroll to the bottom to see the English translation. (more…)

Perhaps a Mario fan would appreciate this. There are a lot of videos at YouTube playing the Super Mario theme song using a variety of instruments. This is perhaps one of the more interesting one. Never seen anyone beatboxing while playing a flute.

There was this time when the whole Pokémon craze is in Singapore. Pokémon or Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター Poketto Monsutā?, IPA: /ˈpoʊkeɪmɒn, ˈpɒkimɒn/) is from Japan, comes in more than 400 nowadays. All the kids were just crazy over them. They discussed Jigglypuff in the morning, they discuss Pikachu during recess and they strategize how Pikachu can win some water creature.

My brother bought gameboy just to play the game. And he bought the Pokémon cards, watch the television cartoon which I always felt is retarded by the way. My brother know his Pokémon inside out and offer technical support for his friends. They call my brother to ask him where can they find a particular Pokémon. And my brother knew! He may not know where Istanbul is but he definately can tell you where’s Dratini.

“Oh no! I have to use Pikachu’s XXX to counter.”

(I hate Pikachu.)

The cartoon didn’t really attracted me. The game however did. I got almost all the Pokémon! And when Nintendo release a sequel with like 250 Pokémon or something. I just given up playing.

I got this friend who train almost all his Pokémon to level 99. What a complete waste of time.

With more than 400 now, try memorizing them! That take - Deoxys. Togekiss. Regigigas. Arseus. Fuwaraid. Bossgodora. Huntail. Dumbbell. Metagross (gross name!).

This is said to be Nintendo’s first commercial. It certainly looked old. I never even thought Nintendo had such devices.

Today, it’s the Nintendo DS, it’s so much of a change. I won’t be buying a DS but it would be more portable console of choice if not for the fact that I don’t really need a portable console anyway. I’ll probably spend my money on a music player perhaps.

Here is Mario trying to tell jokes.

Alright, he sure seemed retarded.

Seems like everyone’s slamming Playstation 3.

Well, Playstation 3 does seem kind of dull as compared to Wii. Oh yes, vibration disabled too. And on a side note…

Dana Jongewaard, editor of Official PlayStation Magazine, says in her 1Up blog that even she will be passing up the PlayStation 3 this November for the less-expensive and currently available Xbox 360.

Well, I guess she’s giving PS3 a miss and her bosses would probably give her bonus a miss as well. Opps.

I love the expressions in this one. It’s the advertisement for Mario Kart DS by Nintendo
