Making Mario Proud

Nintendo, that lovable game console that most of us were raised on, will soon be revealing the winners of their Nintendo Short Cuts contest. Nintendo Short Cuts was created to give away $10,000…I mean, to attract filmmakers and creative types around creating a three to five minute Nintendo-themed film for submission into the contest.

As you can imagine, there are some craptacular videos posted on YouTube, but I wouldn’t recommend you watch ‘em. Instead, check out this amazing entry from Team Awesome. Simply genius and it really makes me want to walk down to my local Goodwill and snatch up a regular Nintendo for three fifty.
