Nintendo

Do you have what it takes to be a champion? Can you make Mario and friends proud?

If you ever owned the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), chances are, you played Contra. Now you can play the classic game like never before.

Last week we posed the question of what was the Cowboy States's all time favorite home video game system and the answer kind of surprised us.

A recent study showed what video games Wyomingites had Google-searched the most over the last decade, but home systems have been around since the late 1970s. With that in mind and the recent rise of retro gaming consoles being sold throughout the world, it got us thinking: what is Wyoming's all time favorite system?

After reading a rumor that one of my all time favorite console video games was getting a live-action treatment, my heart skipped a beat. Contra, the 1987 classic Nintendo, two-man, run-and-gun, side scrolling shoot em up is getting a movie and a television show.

My favorite magazine growing up is now available free online in digital form!

If you missed the fight and want to see it re-enacted through an 8-bit Nintendo game, here's the recap you need.

Video games have come so far nowadays that in some cases the characters look real. Maybe that's why the youth of today don't respect the good ole 8-bit Nintendo games. Mario and his often forgotten younger (yet taller) twin brother Luigi were a staple of my childhood.

Super Mario Brothers was a staple of most 80's (and some 90's) baby's childhood. Maybe that's why I love every single Mario parody on the web.

I have a passion for old video games and for stupid tricks. One such trick involves me beating the first level of Super Mario 3 without looking at the screen. I can do it blindfolded, too -- it doesn't matter, so long as I can hear the music. Here's how I did it. You can try it for yourself to see if you can do it, too!

YouTube has great supply of great video game videos, but the people at Dorkly have the latest viral clip. By adding some awesome editing/video game programming, they have made an awesome video. Have you ever wondered what Super Mario Brothers would look like if the star went psycho? Well all your dark wishes have been granted.

Even if you're a hardcore Nintendo fan, you might be scratching your head, saying you've never heard of this title. That's because I made this. My son and daughter don't always get along so I thought I'd make a Nintendo game where they have to use teamwork to get past each level.
