Childhood Fantasy Come to Life

I was a child of the 1980s and 90s. And, like any child of the 80s and 90s, my video gaming world revolved around two names: Nintendo and Sega. Or, more accurate to the mind of a child, Mario and Sonic.

Ah, those… fond… memories of schoolyard arguments, over who was better than who, and who could beat who. How many now-20-somethings dreamed for the day when they could finally prove, once and for all, for all their friends to see, who was better: Nintendo’s lovable plumber, or Sega’s blue speed demon?

Well, my friends, the wait is finally almost  over. For when Super Smash Bros. Brawl hits Japan in January, and the US… sometime later… You will finally be able to pit these video game icons against each other.

Want more? Like, maybe a video? Head on over to the article on IGN.
