The Nintendo Entertainment System, or NES, made it's debut in the United States 35 years ago. It was my first video game console and still my favorite.
Super Mario Bros on the Nintendo Entertainment System catapulted me into my love of video games. September 2020 marks the 35th anniversary of the original release and Nintendo is celebrating in a big way.
I took some time off last week. While I couldn't really anywhere for a proper vacation, I did take advantage of the free time to expand on one of my hobbies, collecting retro video games.
Thanks to having to stay home more during this pandemic, my love of retro games has just grown. There's just something about going back and revisiting these classics.
These kind of stories always make me remember the fun I had with certain toys as a kid but also how it was never thought to maybe buy a second just to keep for an occasion like this.
LEGO is already set to release a Super Mario Bros. themed set later this year. Now, we could get a set that will allow us to build a replica Nintendo console.
Lego has been delivering licensed sets to build from Star Wars, Marvel, Minecraft and many more over the years. Now they have the ultimate party in Nintendo, specifically Super Mario Bros.
Saturday night, Night of Nostalgia invaded Harvey Convention Center in Tyler. There was a lot of retro video game playing, some adult beverages and some cool meet and greets.
