Luigi swipes Bowser's shtick in this Mario & Luigi: Dream Team trailer
What happens when someone steals your way of life? Bowser is about to find out. In this new Mario & Luigi: Dream Team trailer of various clips from the game, we get to see Luigi encroach on Bowser's established princess-kidnapping business....
Disney's Wreck-It Ralph trailer features an all-star cast of gaming's baddest villains
Look, we cover video games here at Joystiq. And when we're talking games, we try not to let our occasional bouts of fanboy excitement shine through. Thankfully for us, Wreck-It Ralph is a Disney film featuring video games, so we can totally geek out over the latest, nostalgia-laced trailer. Beyond...
New Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story trailer from the inside, out
We're just about as excited as we could be for the next iteration in the long-running Mario & Luigi RPG series, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. It's been so long since we last got to try our hand at timing-centric, turn-based combat in the Mushroom Kingdom and, well, we really enjoyed...
Bowser gets starring role in Mario & Luigi 3
Mario & Luigi 3 won't just limit you to playing as the titular plumbers -- you'll also spend part of the game in control of arch-nemesis Bowser. Typically for the series, this turn of events comes about in wacky fashion, with Mario and Luigi finding themselves trapped inside Bowser (after he in...
A brief history of Club Nintendo Awesomeness
By now, you've no doubt heard: Nintendo is rolling out Club Nintendo in the U.S. by the end of 2008. Wahey! Yeah, we know that Japan (generally speaking) gets the most excellent items when compared to elsewhere, but listen here, bub: it's free stuff. We're not about to complain, and nor should y...
It's-a Mario World: Final Bosses
The workweek is nearly over, which means it's time again to rehash the delightful, if discontinuous, mythology of the Mushroom Kingdom and its many colorful characters. Last week we had you grinding the gears of mini-boss semantics while ogling the usual gallery-candy, and today we want to contin...
It's-a Mario World: Mini-Boss Mayhem
Last week we prompted some rich scholarly debate about Bowser's kids, as literally hundreds of comments (precise statistics unverified) argued back and forth as to whether the Koopaling characters are worth a damn. Today we return to pose another question: What are mini-bosses, exactly? Are th...
It's-a Mario World: Koopa Kids
Lately we have found ourselves pondering the Koopa family lineage in all of its complexity. Bowser seems to have outdone himself in the procreation department, but no one seems to know who mothered his children. It seems likely that Princess Peach did at least some of the laboring, given the amoun...
It's-a Mario World: Underrated Foes
In our last issue, we spent a lot of time rambling about the recurring foes you know and love (or hate) of Mario games. Popular baddies like Goombas, Piranhas and Koopas have carved out quite a place for themselves in the franchise, such that we've come to expect them anywhere we see Mario himse...
Bowser's minions vent their frustrations
It isn't easy being one of Bowser's minions. Aside from the constant defeat at the hands of the Mario brothers, apparently there are some severe restrictions each class of baddie must adhere to in their roles as Bowser's employees. It's a tough life, we imagine, and a job we would certainly not en...
