A Super Mario Summary

Created by Johan Peitz

This is rad. A Super Mario Summary is every level in the original Super Mario Brothers game, each recreated on a single screen. This was Jonah’s entry to the 23rd Ludum Dare 48 hour game development challenge. Play it here.

Reports are coming in from the new Nintendo Power, stating that Wayforward’s rad 3DS eShop puzzle platformer Mighty Switch Force will see five new levels added soon as a free update — thanks to 3DS’s support for patches/updates that should come tomorrow.

The same issue also outs an “upgraded” version of Cave Story for eShop, which, if I’m reading correctly, is like the DSiWare version (the non-polygonal one) with widescreen, 3D, and the extra modes from other versions of the game, like Curly, WInd Fortress, and more. 

Apparently, this version will lead to the removal of the DSiWare version from 3DS’s eShop, too (but not from the DSi Shop). Nicalis has a ton of stuff going on right now…

Oh, what’s this?  It’s just Brian K. Vaughan and the comic he signed for me.  NO BIG DEAL!

HE WISHES I WAS THERE!!!

Things Galen would kill for:

A signed #1 of Saga.

Last week, Image Comics began the run of a new series called Saga with a 44-page #1 that will leave you restless.

The comic seems to incorporate elements, ideas and styles from works as diverse as Dune, Rice Boy and Star Wars. Its story follows two deserters of a galactic war in a dash for freedom away from militaries, princes and at least one very interesting bounty hunter called “The Will” who is in possession of a big cat who exposes all falsehoods (Don’t worry; it’s weirder than you think.)

The art, to me, is captivating in its simplicity. I find myself tracing the scarce lines on the pages, wanting to hang several of its images on the walls of my room, if it wouldn’t deface this wonderful book. The faces are all expressive and diverse, and the fashions, architecture and engineering are believably space-age without overdoing it. Saga uses magic in ways that seem like science and vice versa, including such concepts as “heartbreaker” class pistols that “hurt like the day [one’s] dog died” and a race of (ruling) humanoids with CRT monitors for heads, antennae and all.

The doubled size of the first issue was an absolutely inspired move; I could not possibly imagine being more immersed in the world of Saga than I am now. Seeing the birth of a main character, a partial history of the war driving the plot, a teaser of the home world’s bizarre political system, the introduction of a major antagonist, the bonding of our heroes and brief glimpse of the vastness of a terrifying planet is certainly enough to get anyone engaged. While I expect to absolutely devour the upcoming 22-page issues far too quickly, it’s obvious that they’ll be filled with delicious plot, not (admittedly fascinating) backstory.

Do yourself a favor and get to your local comic shop as quickly as possible. If they don’t have Saga, threaten to turn them in to Baron Robot XXIII for treason.

The third (and final released) cover of Marvel’s lost Victor Von Doom miniseries. I’ll just be crying over here

I just found the cover of the second issue of Marvel’s cancelled Victor Von Doom series.

Now we here on OU try not to swear, but

So Matt Chapman of the Brothers Chaps, creators of HomestarRunner.com, tweeted this last Monday, and I must say I am incredibly excited. Could this mean the return of regular updates after over a year of hiatus? Or will it just be one more followed by more breaks? Only time will tell. Though I could understand why they haven’t done anything with the site for quite some time, what with them raising kids and making stuff for Yo Gabba Gabba.

For those of our readers not in the know, Homestar Runner is a popular flash cartoon, largely known for the Strong Bad Emails section. They don’t advertise except through word-of-mouth, so it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of them before now. Even if you didn’t grow up watching it, it’s never too late to give it a go! Try it, and chances are you’ll fall in love with it as much as the rest of us!

(To get you started, or if you just haven’t noticed on the main page, here’s the First Time Here cartoon)
