I have a weak memory about Mario beeing Luigis father in that movie......:shock:

Oh and ive got a quote from an interwiew of a nintendo executive in 1988:

"Are Mario and Luigis last name Mario?"

"No"

"Then why are they called the mario brothers?"

"Chuckles* Some questions are better left unasked."

Personally i consider the Mario brothers last name to be Segali. Mario Segali and Luigi Segali. Since it was the last name of Nintendo of Americas Landlord; Mario Segali. Which Mario is based on.

Okay, Halo did surely did have its impact on console fps... but the single greatest franchise in gaming history? Cmon!

So i guess franchises like Super Mario, Zelda, Final Fantasy etc. are not greater than a franchise which is a little...nnnh..Generic?

A tall space Marine saves the galaxy and Earth from fanatic aliens... Heard this before? Moi? I think not...

Mario did the same thing you know, and he wasn't a seven foot tall space marine!!

pant* pant* ....Okay its a completely okay franchise, but its just a liiitle overrated. Thats it.

"Duuuh! Whats Zelda and Mario then!?" you ask.

"They migth be overrated, but not as much as Halo, and their impact on gaming was MUCH larger." I answer.

I wonder how much one of those are worth today? According to that wikipedia page only 1500 were sold. I'm gonna check Ebay

There is one on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/Nintendo-64DD-64-DD-console-system-import-japan-jp-n64_W0QQitemZ300359998816QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo_Games?hash=item45eed9dd60

15 000, not 1500

Yeah i knew about that one, but it only used a strange electromagnetic disc that was not much different from the 500 m cartiridge, although it was much cheaper to produce.

What i meant was that i wanted to see an N64 with a real cd-drive... like the playstation. And seeing what it was already capable to do with with cartridges, it would have been intresting to see how it would have turned out wit a real CD drive.

I agree with your choices. As for me... well it is a good bunch, but if i have to prezizise; Most music from Chrono Trigger, espicially the song that plays in the woods outside guardia castle.

Super Mario 64: Fantastic songs wich gives me a nostalgic kick. Espicially the one that plays in Dire Dire Docks

Zelda OoT: Just about everything.

Mario land series and gameboy music in general: Thoose beeps coming out of the gameboy are just gorgeous. Nice examples on this are the star Maze music in Mario Land 2 and the battle theme for Pokemon Yellow.

...Yea, thats my personal picks. There are some more, but i aint gonna keep you with my blabbering :)
