Mike Mitchell's "NES Boy" Artwork is Nintendoreffic

We've featured artist Mike Mitchell numerous times on gblog.  His artwork is beautiful, very creative and usually pretty damn funny.  His most recent piece of art is entitled, "1985" (or as it it has also been called "NES Boy") is no exception.

Mike claims on his website, "that this particular piece of art is a quasi self portrait of my formative years."

I think this picture speaks volumes to million so of us out there that spent our youth just like Mike.  Gfest loves it!

Nintendo's Toad has Anger Management Issues

Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. is the most popular game of all-time and as everyone who has ever played the game knows -- Mario battles his way through numerous castles, only to discover that the Princess is not there.

Instead, we find Toad who simply tells us "Thank You Mario! But our Princess is in another castle!"

But is that all he said to us?  No, it's not.  When you zoom in on the 8-bit version on Toad you can see that he's also been delivering us another message all these years, in the form of the double middle finger.  

I knew there was something about that guy I didn't like.
