Super Smash Wars: Nintendo Buys Star Wars

Nintendo buys Star Wars? Before you have a coronary, relax – this video by James Farr depicts what would occur if the Japanese video gaming giant procured the Star Wars rights from Disney.

The story goes something like this (in typical Star Wars roll-up-the-screen fashion):

Super Smash Wars
Quest Log IV: A Link To The Hope
When Phantom Lord Ganon-Darth unveils his latest weapon, it will be up to Link Skywaker to learn the ways of the TRIFORCE, and lead a rag-tag rebellion against the Empire.

You know if Nintendo was involved with Star Wars, it would be nothing short of SUPER!

Mario And The Power Glove

Add Mario, a successful video gaming character, and then add the Power Glove, the coolest and most useless peripheral on the NES, or is it? This silent serial film (by Nerdist) finds a cosplay Mario thrust into a wild adventure when he is given an enchanted Power Glove by a mystical hobo (Parenthood’s Jason Ritter) and must do battle with an overzealous security guard and an evil Luigi (Alphas’ Ryan Cartwright) after sneaking into the San Diego Comic-Con to win the heart of his cosplay princess, Peach.

NES Case Mod Wars: Zelda vs Mega Man

By

There is no doubting the nostalgic factor of the Nintendo Entertainment System (or more accurately and affectionately known as the NES).

Some of us even go so far as to morph the grey shoe-box into their favourite gaming franchise. A befitting tribute indeed. The backlit Zelda and Mega Man modifications on these NES cases are one of the best I have seen in a while. Check them out.
