Norwegian computer programmer and skydiving champion Kjetil Nordin put over 800 hours of work into researching and crocheting this lovely recreation of the map for Super Mario Bros. 3 World 1. Redditor Buttermynuts spent several minutes making it into this equally lovely GIF.
Anyone with basic crochet skills and a whole lot of free time can make a map out of yarn, but Nordin went several extra miles, researching the exact yarn colours needed to emulate the map—which Reddit points out seems to be for the Super Mario All-Stars version of the game—going as far as to scrap an entire section and restart when the water turned out a bit too purple, as reported by NRK (via IGN).
Redditor AlexKingshill, posting as a friend of the creator, uploaded a slew of lovely shots of the gorgeous piece.

Nintendo has promised to do “better” at E3 next year following the angry reaction from many fans to last night’s showing.
“Thank you for watching,” Nintendo president and CEO Satoru Iwata said on Twitter, as translated by one user. “We take opinions of this year's Digital Event seriously and will work to better meet your expectations.”
A Neogaf thread reacting to Nintendo’s Digital Event has now reached 188 pages, most of which comprises statements of disappointment and anger.
“I was literally shaking with anger during that conference. Tears formed in my eyes and my fists were clenched. ‘Announce something,’ I shrieked at my computer,” one especially aggrieved user said. “I'm 31 years old and this was, without a doubt, the worst conference I've ever seen in my life. It's clear that Nintendo is not just done with the Wii U but done with the company. There is no recovering from a conference that bad.
“I loved this company and put my heart and soul into dedicating my gaming life to them. But now, I have nothing. I'm an empty shell.”
By far the most furious response came following the announcement of Metroid Prime: Federation Force. This seems to have been perceived by many fans as a personal insult, especially as rumours had pointed to a possible new ‘proper’ Metroid title from Retro Studios.
So enraged are some that the option simply not to buy Federation Force is not sufficient. Instead, they are demanding that its very creation be abandoned, presumably for fear that its existence alone will be enough to inflict significant emotional wounds.
“With the release of the Wii U and its greater technological capabilities thousands of fans were expecting a new and improved Metroid game. What we got however is a disgrace of a game with the name ‘Metroid’ slapped on the title,” a Change.org petition states.
“This is not the Metroid we asked Nintendo to make. We should let Nintendo know what we really think of the game and make them actually LISTEN to their fans for once. Help us stop this atrocity of a game from bearing the beloved Metroid franchise name and make Nintendo halt production on it.”

The senior manager of marketing in Nintendo of America’s licensing department has urged the company’s fans to be a bit more adventurous with the digital content they buy.
"It seems like a lot of the Nintendo fans and consumers they gravitate towards nostalgia, they gravitate towards platformer and puzzle action games," Damon Baker told Gamasutra. "If I had one wish to be fulfilled, I would love to see Nintendo fans and consumers take more risks on eShop."
Nintendo last month offered its first ever Humble Bundle. When asked how well the promotion went, Baker said the platform holder was “quite pleased”, adding: "The main objective of the promotion was really to reach a wider audience, and let as many people know about this great indie content as possible."
However, one thing the company will continue to shy away from is funding indie game development or paying for timed indie exclusives.
"We've given lots of thought to it," Baker claimed. "Nintendo is pretty famous for being pretty tight with our money; we want to be efficient with our funds. We continue to look for other ways to promote that key content, and that stuff we consider to be priority."

It should come as no surprise, given Nintendo's propensity for creating Mario games, that the company can't stop making Amiibo based on its most-famous character. Since the NFC toy line was introduced last November, we've already seen five: Super Smash Bros. Mario, Mario Party Mario, Gold Mario, Silver Mario and Dr. Mario. Thanks to an email from Nintendo Spain (first spotted byNintendo Inquirer), it appears there's going to be a sixth: 8-bit Mario. The newsletter included an image of the retro-styled figurine along with a shot of an unannounced Animal Crossing collection that'll feature at least four characters from the series.

Earlier today, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata took to Twitter to discuss why he will not personally be present at E3 this year. Here’s a translation of Iwata’s tweets:
image: http://www.siliconera.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/IWATA_MII_thumb.jpg
 [Iwata] Good morning, everyone. E3 is finally starting. E3 is the games industry’s biggest trade fair, which takes place once a year in Los Angeles. From today on, during E3 I’ll be tweeting using the Nintendo Official account with the hashtag #Iwatter.[Iwata] Because of the operation I underwent in June last year, I’ve become a little thin. My weight has more or less remained the same since I left the hospital and it seems as though I’ll be able to maintain this figure, so I decided to update my official Mii to reflect my present condition. Please be kind to it.[Iwata] With the exception of last year, I’ve been going to E3 every year. However, as there’s no new hardware to present this year and considering the fact that a general meeting of shareholders is planned for the week following E3, I will remain in Japan this year. My role at E3 this year is to relay everything happening at E3 to everyone that’s in Japan.

Nintendo's 3DS handheld has sold more than 15m units in the US life-to-date, Nintendo of America has announced.
The milestone accounts for all iterations of the 3DS sold in the US, with the company stating its the eighth Nintendo platform to hit the figure.
That said, Games Industry notes that the 3DS is still trailing the performance of its predecessors by a fairly wide margin. Nintendo reported in March that the system had sold a total of 17.5m units in the Americas over five fiscal years. The DS moved 29.9m units across 10 years, the Game Boy Advance sold 41.6m over seven years, and the original Nintendo Game Boy sold 44m units over a span of only five years.
Still, the 3DS has been gaining sales momentum this year – thanks in major part to the February launch of the New 3DS. Hardware sales for the handheld have been up more than 50 per cent year-over-year over the first six months of 2015.
Nintendo of America executive VP of sales and marketing Scott Moffitt spoke on the handheld's positive results – especially in recent times.
"While crossing 15 million units is certainly a significant milestone, we are equally excited about the new momentum we've created in 2015 thanks to new hardware and an unrivaled library of software," Moffitt said.
"With more great games on the way and a hardware system for every type of gamer, 2015 is shaping up to be one of the stronger years yet for Nintendo 3DS in the United States."

With E3 starting next week, we're going to hear plenty of news from companies like Microsoft, Sony and yes, Nintendo. The company's Digital Event on June 16th promises new games for the handheld 3DS, making this a great time to upgrade to aNew 3DS or 3DS XL. The latest 3DS offers improved 3D capabilities, built-in NFC support for your Amiibo figures and even a new C stick and ZL and ZR buttons for more control options. Nintendo has also said that some future games will only work on a new 3DS, making an upgrade necessary if you want to play some of the latest titles. While we certainly enjoyed the New 3DS' added features in our review, we'd like to know how it actually worked out for our readers. If you've picked up a New 3DS or 3DS XL since its release, let us know how you've been enjoying it by writing a reviewon its product page. We'll do a roundup of the best user reviews to find out if this upgrade is worth your hard-earned scratch.

Aside from its codename, we know little about Nintendo's in-development "NX" console. Yesterday, however, Japanese publication Nikkei claimed to have hit upon a particularly juicy detail about the next-gen gaming system, with its sources stating the NX will run some form of Google's Android OS. The rumor wasn't exactly far-fetched, given Nintendo's plans to get into mobile games this year; but alas, it appears to have been a blast of hot air. Today, a Nintendo spokesperson's commented on the hearsay -- or rather, shot it down in flames -- declaring "There is no truth to the report saying that we are planning to adopt Android for NX." Denials don't get much clearer than that, but hopefully whatever platform Nintendo's outfitting the NX with will be less Wii U, more 200cc.

The unfortunate region lock situation surrounding Nintendo's Humble Nindie Bundle promotion is something the company hopes to change, a Nintendo of America rep claims.
Damon Baker – an employee of Nintendo of America's marketing department – said as much on Twitter, explaining the company spent months trying to make the offer global.
Baker added that there's still a possibility of the Nindie Bundle's region lock being lifted. As of today, there's still 12 more days left in the promo's run.
The Humble Nindie Bundle launched earlier this week, featuring a mix of 3DS and Wii U digital offerings for various price levels. The bundle is currently available only in North, Central and South America (except Brazil).

These days, it's pretty hard to find anything electronic that doesn't have access to BBC iPlayer already. Nintendo's Wii U is one of the most notable exceptions, but if you've been quietly jonesing for an iPlayer client to hit the quirky console, then jones no more. With zero fanfare marking its launch, BBC iPlayer is now available to download in the Nintendo eShop. The Wii U's GamePad is fully supported, too, so you're not tied to the TV screen if, you know, your tablet's run out of battery.

Nintendo is about to halt production of its 8GB Wii U Basic in Japan, according to a notice on its product site. The white-clad product has been around since 2012, but was never super popular since the 32GB version is typically only $50 more. In fact, the rumor mill had it being killed off two years ago after it went out of stock at GameStop and Best Buy, though Nintendo later called that a "misperception." Somehow the model has hung on until now, but has gradually become harder to find.

Although details about the system remains sparse, Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata has stated that the new NX should not simply be considered as a replacement for its current machines.
“Though I cannot confirm when it will be launched or any other details of the system, since I have confirmed that it will be ‘a dedicated video game platform with a brand new concept’ [as stated during the initial announcement] it should mean that we do not intend it to become a simple ‘replacement’ for Nintendo 3DS or Wii U,” he told investors in a now translated Japanese Q&A.
“When it comes to how dedicated game systems are being played, the situations have become rather different, especially between Japan and overseas.
“Since we are always thinking about how to create a new platform that will be accepted by as many people around the world as possible, we would like to offer to them ‘a dedicated video game platform with a brand new concept’ by taking into consideration various factors, including the playing environments that differ by country. This is all that I can confirm today.”
What all of this means is of course open to debate. Does Iwata intend for the NX to exist on the market alongside 3DS and Wii U? Some have predicted that the new machine will serve both as a home console and handheld – which by definition would see it replace both existing machines.
Or does Iwata instead mean that the NX’s “brand new concept” is so different to the existing hardware that it will not compete in the same space?
And what of the comment “When it comes to how dedicated game systems are being played, the situations have become rather different, especially between Japan and overseas”? This presumably references the growing mobile sector – which in Japan has had a far bigger impact on the struggling console market. Does this mean Nintendo’s new machine will be more mobile than console focused.
With no new details expected at E3 next month, don’t expect any answers in the immediate future.
