Super Console Wars puts spin on mascot Gamepires

We've seen Mario in the Matrix, Luigi as a Braveheart, and what we thought was everything in between. Well, hold up, 'cuz now we've seen everything: classic game icons have been mashed up with Star Wars.

Super Console Wars: The Gamepire Strikes Gold is that hybrid that with good and evil roles spread out onto each platform and various gaming mascots, ranging from Mario clone troopers vs. Princess Zelda to a VMU droid and GPU-enabled android (erm, peripheral).

About two-thirds of the way through the 20-minute video, you're gently encouraged to wear 3D glasses to enhance your video viewing, but even without glasses, the parody stands as an amusing take-off of gaming standards, pop culture, and retro reminiscing. Obi-Wan Shinobi, indeed.

Fantastic, but what was the millenium falcon system suppose to be?

that was freaking halarious. I loved all of it. Only problem was the point they got up to the "3d" part. I dont own any 3d glasses so It made watching the rest of the show very unfun. Is there like a non-3d version out there?
