Return to Super Mario Bros.

When the Dudes sat down to reminisce about one year in podcasting, one issue kept coming up. Neither Dude felt that they had done the early games justice. With so many awesome segments and so much better organization coming out of the later episodes, they felt like the show should go back and revisit some of those early episodes.

What better episode to start over with than Super Mario Bros? The game that started it all: The NES, the podcast, the Dudes’ love for gaming in general.

Hopefully, this time they have done right by this wonderful game. If not, maybe expect another return in a year?

Mario’s Top 5 Jobs

Standard

There is no other character that signifies Nintendo than Mario. Mario has been the signature character (Hero) for the company from the early days. However, throughout that time, Mario has worn many hats, as one might say. He has carried many different jobs, and his success varies from job to job.

This week, in the 25th installment (hold your applause please) of 2 Dudes and a NES, the Dudes take a break from the game by game style to talk about the top five jobs held by the beloved Mario. The Dudes talk a little history of the creation of Mario as well as some of the roles (acting?) that Mario has taken over the years.

We can only imagine where the NES would be without the Italian plumber/doctor/demolition worker/too many other things to list. But we know Nintendo would certainly not be the same without him.

Happy Listening
