Super Mario with his fantastic pal Luigi are believed video game royalty! These folks were very first designed in the 80's by Nintendo and did not really gain in popularity with the general public for awhile. This was mainly because manufacturers like Atari led the video game industry with video game titles such as Space Invaders. That was all right up until Nintendo unveiled a little game named "Super Mario Bros". This game caused Nintendo to explode on the stage with their new games console system and get a legendary position amid gamers.

Due to overwhelming good results of Super Mario Bros, Nintendo made the decision that they could very well sell more consoles whenever they enclosed this game with a purchase of one. Not simply was this a sharp choice, but this considerably enhanced sales and profits of their product. I remember getting my first Nintendo and Mario was absolutely a part of my bundle.

Nintendo started to enhance it's technologies and grew to become an industry leader in outstanding audio and sharp graphics. Now, better the audio and graphics, so much the better our video games became and the more popular Mario and his brother Luigi became with small children.

Ever since those first consoles, Nintendo has come out with the Nintendo gamecube plus the Wii, and Mario has come along for the journey and has expanded his horizons in addition. Along with games like Super Mario Smash Bros and Mario Kart we now see that children of a brand new age group are starting to experience what we did as children.

The Mario Kart group of games is really a lot of fun! You choose which cartoon character you would like to be and which racing car to try. Then, you use the Wii controller and steer your way across the track. I could play this video game for hours on end! In fact, my children play it so often, we needed to go out and get a brand new game given that they wore the old one out!

Should you be just getting into the whole Nintendo world, I recommend that you get a Nintendo wii console system because it is probably the most fun that you and your loved ones is ever going to have! And sure, it still includes Super Mario Bros inside the original gaming console package deal. Nintendo has also created a red Wii system to pay tribute to the Mario Bros. Pretty smart, huh?

As we turn to the foreseeable future they have now come out with a whole new portable video game, the Nintendo 3DS. This is actually the first of it's sort, a 3D video gaming experience. Sometime in the not to distant future the people at Nintendo are hoping to put out Mario Kart for the 3DS. I haven't bought one of these video gaming systems yet however I did have the opportunity to test one at the video game store and whoa, it really was wonderful! Needless to say, I realize that the games and technology will improve as time passes; nevertheless it was awesome to see precisely how far they have come in producing video gaming. This is a long way away from the games of Pong that we used to enjoy as small children!
