Mario is dead. Under the leadership of Halo's Master Chief, Nintendo's two greatest enemies unite in an effort to destroy the divided world once and for all. In a last ditch effort to save the world of Nintendo, Luigi and Link must reunite friends from every generation. Innocence is dead. Let the revolution begin

pure genius, if u havent seen it yet, u must watch it.

Searching for my own way of the ninja.
Holy frickberries, that was amazing.
Bland voice work, bland animation, bland artwork...but the style...the feeling...it was amazing.

No amount of money can stop a revolution, indeed.
But a lack thereof may end it before it can truly reach its destiny.

This movie made me realize just how much respect I have for Nintendo.
Nintendo STARTED this industry. And they're still around. And many of the people who are happy with what they have now owe it all to Nintendo. Nintendo was the pioneer, and now Sony and Microsoft are reaping the benefits of the trail they have blazed.

That's why Nintendo is starting to blaze a NEW trail. A trail that Sony and Microsoft refuse to follow them down.
Maybe that trail will lead to success, maybe it will lead to failure.

Will the Revolution truly live up to its name, or have we really forgotten 'their people and the old ways'?

Notice how this movie has bland animation, bland artstyle, bland voices...and yet, in having this things, it still has heart. It still has an amazing message. And in doing so, it makes itself an example of the very message it's trying to portray, and it asks us the question: what really matters in our games?

I've been playing Super Mario Bros. 1 and Duck Hunt today, and ya know what?
After TWENTY FRIGGIN' YEARS, those games are STILL fun. I'd rather play them now, after all these years, then a lot of the new stuff out there.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Resident Evil 4 and God of War, but those were games with heart AND gameplay.

Where's the heart in GTA?

sigh, unfortunately all the video says is true. most games today lack spirit(i dont have a better word). if nintendo ever goes out of buisness, im gonna stop playing gsmes.
ps: is anyone sick of seeing mario die in every gaming movie on the internet?

I think that Microsoft and Sony should just crawl into a hole and die. Best Part: "They killed-a ma brodder"
Nintendo is about gamplay and the feeling you get from the games X-Box and PS3 are basically for graphics and violence, bah you can make a great game without a lot of violence in it; look at Super Mario Bros. Series, Ice Climbers, Animal Crossing, Pokemon,Super Mario Kart, F-Zero, Banko-Kazooie, Donkey Kong Country..the list is endless...

This HAS to be made into some sort of movie. Think about where it could go.
