I, like countless others, have the fondest of memories of my time spent playing Super Mario Bros. on the Nintendo Entertainment System. So many have experienced similar grand times, and the game’s reputation is so great, in fact, that even some teens of today playing it for the very first time are well-aware of its existence and excited at the chance to try it.

But there’s also some bad memories, as well. More specifically, remembering all of those times we got to World 6 or 7 or even 8 after hours of trying, and then died on our final life, sending us back to the start again. As we learned of the various shortcuts this became a tad bit less painful, but still frustrating nevertheless.

But what if I told you there was a little secret Super Mario Bros. was hiding these past 30 years that would have made things much easier on us?

People love watching other people react to things, whether it be scenes from a movie or TV show, video games, some form of technology, and so on. Reaction videos are used to market upcoming horror and comedy movies to people who haven’t seen them yet, and to make those who have seen them laugh.

The React videos from Fine Brothers Entertainment have smartly built a collection of videos on this undeniable fascination with reactions, having people of all ages react to all kinds of things, usually from a different generation to ensure boggled minds. These videos can often make you feel so very old, and that’s quite depressing, but we still watch because they also deliver on the nostalgia, which makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Who doesn’t love testing one’s own emotional stability via a brief viral video every now and then?

The latest videos tackle a big one: Nintendo. Teens, including Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams (who recently did a Saved by the Bell reaction video), react to the Nintendo console itself and then to hit games Super Mario Bros. and Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!! You can watch the videos below.

For this week’s edition of The Digital Wire we’ve got more new Blu-ray and DVD release news than a single human being should be legally permitted to process, including some bonus features updates for a few titles on which we have previously reported. There’s so much good stuff here that for many of us our bank accounts are going to be shedding a little weight this autumn.

Below you’ll find info on several future home video releases complete with technical specs, release dates, and links to pre-order at Amazon. We would greatly appreciate it if you use those links to order because a small percentage of each order helps keep this website running at max power. The cover art for certain titles has yet to be finalized.

Nintendo didn’t have a huge presence at E3 2014 this year. In fact, they didn’t even go. Instead, they made their own digital presentation to show off what’s cooking in their world.

One of the cool things they revealed is called Mario Maker for the Wii U, which, just as it sounds, allows you to custom create your very own Super Mario Bros. levels.

A trailer for Mario Maker was released to show just how easy it is (Excitebike easy!) and you can check that out below.
