Toy customizer Donald Kennedy aka KodyKoala made this Mario Mech out of a Merio vinyl figure, a Mario Keychain, and some parts taken from a toy mech from that Avatar movie. The dirty brushed metallic finish is awesome and the bolts are a great touch. Hopefully he does some more Nintendo mechs. Donky Kong, anyone?

About the piece, KodyKoala says:

This was something that my brother and I have been talking about for a while. We thought it would be cool to have Nintendo characters drive a mech of the themselves. This is the first of a series. I love the way this came out, and it is pretty self explanatory how it is made, except for the cockpit, which I got from and Avatar Mech Amp Suit. I am also trying a cool new background as well as better lighting, so the pictures come out crisper.

If your big nerd ass needs a geeky place to plop itself, look no further than the Mega Man E-Tank cushion. Actually, this thing’s just under 12″, so maybe it’d be more appropriate as a nerdy elbow rest.

E-Capcom is currently taking pre-orders for this sexy piece of gaming decor for only ¥2,625 ($29.46) and it’ll be shipped on March 31. The bad news is, this is only available in Japan. Fffffuuuuuuuuuuu..

Here’s hoping they release these outside of Japan. My sofa is naked without it.

Logan Zawacki (the same dude who wrote The Excavation of Mushroom Island) sent in pics of these 4 skateboard decks that he designed for the upcoming I’M BOARD skateboard art exhibit in Jacksonville, FL being held this weekend. The games represented are Mega Man, Super Mario Bros., Street Fighter II, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

It looks like he took models from the Tony Hawk games and rendered them with the appropriate attire to fit their themes. Awesome work, indeed.

Check the gallery below to get up close and personal with the freshness of the details.

I think the message behind this piece is that we’re all invaders. Poignant, creative, and a great use of the street as a canvas. A little bit of overspray, but it’s all part of the charm, I think. A++

Amazon just knocked $51 off the price of the Mad Catz Street Fighter IV T.E. FightStick for Xbox 360 bringing it down to just $98.99! For some odd reason, they’ve only taken $20 off the price of the PS3 version, leaving it at $129.99. :/

I already have a T.E. stick for the PS3, but I’ve been wanting one for the 360 as well so I can play online against my anti Sony friends. Might have to pick this up before the deal goes away.

While checking my email, I came across a message titled Natural Sword Enhancement. I figured it was just some spam that slipped through my spam filter, but then I noticed it was from Atlus Games. Turns out, it’s just the latest promo vid for 3D Dot Game Heroes.

Just don’t hurt me when I swivel your boobies like analog sticks. Chances are, you’ll wind up liking it. (winky face)

Quick, someone invent a shirt like this that actually works as a controller!

There’s a really awesome piece up on Kotaku written by Leigh Alexander about an indie dating sim/erotic visual novel called Katawa Shoujo.

There’s a really awesome piece up on Kotaku written by Leigh Alexander about an indie dating sim/erotic visual novel called Katawa Shoujo. Unlike most ero novels, this game looks like it’s polished to the point where it could possibly rival some of the better ero novels from Japan. Oh, and the girls in this one all suffer from some sort of handicap.

Okay, you’re probably thinking this is cheesy, but I thought the same thing. Just go read the full article. It talks about how this game was spawned from a thread on 4chan.org and it compares the insensitive nature of 4chan to the deep sensitivity found in this game’s story and the author even got statements from a handicapped gamer. It’s a pretty awesome piece of gaming journalism and well worth the read.

Uncensored pic after the jump. I triple dog dare you.

On somebody’s foot, no less! [...]]]> Last week I posted a really crappy Mario/Master Chief tattoo and it inspired That Girl aka VideoGameGirl from ThatGirlsSite.com to browse the net for some gaming tattoos hoping she would come across something cool or cute. Instead she found the monstrosity above.

Action RPG Legends of Exidia is the latest DSiWare title from Gameloft and while watching the trailer, you’ll notice that this game looks like it plays a lot like the Zelda games — until you see the crazy dragon-riding boss battle with what looks like Quick Time Events. For 800 Nintendo points, this one looks worth the download.

From Wikipedia:

The Game Boy (DMG-001) is an 8-bit handheld video game device developed and manufactured by Nintendo. It was released in Japan on April 21, 1989 , in North America on July 31, 1989 (1989-07-31), and in Europe on September 28, 1990 (1990-09-28). In Southern Asia, it is known as the “Tata Game Boy”. It is the first handheld console in the Game Boy line. It was created by Gunpei Yokoi and Nintendo’s Research and Development 1—the same staff who had designed the Game & Watch series as well as several popular games for the NES.

The Game Boy was Nintendo’s second handheld system following the Game & Watch series introduced in 1980, and it combined features from both the Nintendo Entertainment System and Game & Watch. It was also the first handheld game to use video game cartridges since Milton Bradley Company’s Microvision handheld console. It was originally bundled with the puzzle game Tetris.
