Mike’s Mega Man and Mario Mosaics Make Me Mappy

No matter how many new video game franchises come along, it’s still some of the earliest console games which have the most popular gaming characters of all time. Take, for instance, Mario and Mega Man. Both released nearly 30 years ago (yikes, I feel really old), these iconic gaming characters… |

Mario and Link Minimalist Art Focuses on Their Heroic Torsos
 |
These pieces of minimalist Mario and Link Art are very unique – they depict our favorite Nintendos in a startling fashion by focusing on their torsos. These two characters surely have the most heroic midsections of them all, but I think that Mario’s pot belly may have been treated with… |

Remember that old Megatron Transformer that turns into a gun? Well, LEGO builder Baron von Brunk from New York has outdone that one. His version of the toy has the Decepticon leader Megatron turning into something much more geeky – an NES Zapper gun.… |

I don’t think you need to punch this Question Block Lamp to get it to cough up its treasure. Which is a shame really. But it’s really well made and looks just like its video game counterpart when lit up. Which will only increase your desire to hit it.… |
