The Super Mario Bros. Are Plumbers No More
Welp, it’s official: Mario isn’t a plumber anymore. At
least, according to the character profiles Nintendo put
up for the Super Mario Bros. series on their Japanese
site. Roughly translated (and edited to not sound balls to
the wall insane):
Great at sports, whether it’s tennis, baseball, soccer or car
racing, he [Mario] does everything cool.
Actually, he seems to have worked as a plumber long ago
….
All in all, it actually make sense. Aside from the crappy
cartoons from the 80’s/90’s, when was the last time you
saw Mario do any plumbing? Like, the original Mario
Bros.? In general, Mario’s profession is what they need
it to be for the game in question. Do you really think
Mario went through years of medical school while also
learning several trades?
I’m just wondering what this change in canon will
mean for MovieBob. I mean, they’re already not from
Brooklyn anymore. Mario was pretty much the only
blue-collar anything Bob doesn’t have seething hot
contempt for. You know, considering everything
outside of a coastal, Blue state is a “one-story meth
desert” to him.
Jesus Joins Fighting Game FIGHT OF GODS
PQube ihas announced that both Jesus and Buddha have joined
the FIGHT OF GODS roster, and that the game is OUT NOW
worldwide on Steam Early Access.
Existence itself is at stake in the greatest tournament ever
devised in FIGHT OF GODS, the new 2D fighter from indie
developer, Digital Crafter. When an unknown entity gathers
the strongest gods and religious figures from throughout
human history, mythological beings and holy icons must battle
to uncover the truth and save the world.
Who will prevail in the ultimate battle of gods? Will Jesus,
fresh from ripping himself off the sacrificial cross, smite all his
foes with the power of his Punishment Fist? Can Buddha slap
his opponents into submission? Harness the power of fire,
lightning, water, plagues and more as you pit gods and prophets
such as Odin, Zeus, Amaterasu, Anubis, Moses and Athena
against one another in one of the most unique and outlandish
fighters ever created.
I don’t know what to think about anything anymore. Also, we
always figured the son of "God" would always be a little OP
when it came to a fighting game. Not sure how the other deities
are going to be able to counter him.
Fingers crossed FIGHT OF GODS gets time at EVO!
