If you grew up playing Nintendo early 90's, you watched the Super Mario Bros Super Show. Does it suck today? Eh, maybe a little. But for so many of us, Captain Lou Albano will always be our Mario. 

I was always crushed when I'd turn it on and find stupid Link and his stupid "Excuuuuuse me, Princess" face. Fortunately, most days it was Mario and Luigi hanging out in their basement apartment/shop in front of a studio audience with celebrities, and that was followed by the sweetest cartoon ever drawn. The animation sucked, but whatever.

My buddy Bradley McCue swings by the show this week, and despite the fact that we grew up watching this show in two totally different eras, we had a blast looking back on a massive part of our childhoods. Hey Pisanos! It's the Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

And before we go plumbing, I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if I'd ever consider reviewing games from some of the lesser known retro consoles. What am I gonna play now that I'm done with Mario Wonder and Spider-Man 2?? And why do people like "war" games so much?

Plus we play a rare round of 'Watch One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 classic gaming cartoons: The Legend of Zelda, Mega Man, and Captain N!
