It so happens that Cuban borders are now open thanks to Mr. Obama. What does that means to Cuban folk residing there?  Well, just now they have stumbled upon the video game world, thanks to Fidel shunning poor Cubans to all that is fun and holy. The first video gamed reviewed is Super. Mario Bros, by immigrant friend, Luigi Santa Rosa Bacalao. A good friend of Destructoid’s, I hope perhaps Perezstart can befriend him as one because A. He is freaking hilarious and B. The writers at Perezstart, incuding myself are of Cuban descent. If you know Spanish, awesome if you don’t sucks to  be you because the following clip is in Spanish! Check out the hilarious video after the jump!

One of my best Christmases as a child was the year my big brother bought me Mario Paint for Super Nintendo. The year was 1992 and this concept was amazing, I got to do my two favorite things at the same time, color and play Nintendo. I spent countless hours playing this game, from composing my own music using Mario heads, Yoshi’s , Mushrooms and stars to spray painting my name is every color imaginable. My favorite in-game feature was definitely the fly swatting game, who ever played Mario Paint would remember this mini-game called Gnat Attack.

There have several sequels to Mario Paint since the 1992 release on SNES,

• 1993 remake BS Mario Paint  – Yuu Shou Naizou Ban released in Japan
• 1999 series of games were released exclusively in Japan for the Nintendo 64DD titled Mario Artist

While no official sequel has ever been released in the United States Mario Paint made a Cameo appearance in Warioware Touched as “Wario Paint”.

Could an updated version for the Wii be in the works? I have heard rumblings of a Wii release but no official confirmation.  Having Mario Paint on the DS would be another possibility, the touch screen is already there.

I know what you are thinking, anything is better than wheat bread  that is unless you fancy that sort of a thing or maybe you just need it to be “regular”.  I think  this was a creative way to save that sucky toaster you have been dying to throw out. I mean it always  burns your Wolferman’s muffins come on!  Mr. Vomitsaw is the creator of this unique parody here is what he has to say about it!
