Top 5 Jobs Held by Mario

There is no other character that signifies Nintendo than Mario. Mario has been the signature character (Hero) for the company from the early days. However, throughout that time, Mario has worn many hats, as one might say. He has carried many different jobs, and his success varies from job to job.

This week, in the 25th installment (hold your applause please) of 2 Dudes and a NES, the Dudes take a break from the game by game style to talk about the top five jobs held by the beloved Mario. The Dudes talk a little history of the creation of Mario as well as some of the roles (acting?) that Mario has taken over the years.

We can only imagine where the NES would be without the Italian plumber/doctor/demolition worker/too many other things to list. But we know Nintendo would certainly not be the same without him.

Happy Listening

Cobra Triangle

The Dudes sit down to talk about a more known Rare title this week in Cobra Triangle. The Dudes also have a special guest in this week's show, Michael's younger brother Matthew.

Cobra Triangle is an isometric (Justin now knows what that means in video game talk) action boat game. This game features many different courses that give the gamer many challenging tasks as well as some obscure ones.

Conra Triangle is a classic that the Dudes enjoy playing and discussing. Stick around for the end of the show and the Dudes even discuss the new disney show Girl Meets World.

Happy listening!

Anticipation

Through the years many video games have been inspired by board games. However what about a board game solely created for a video game system? Leave it to the guys at Rare to be innovative and bring the board game to the NES, but they went a step further with the creation of Anticipation "Nintendo's first video board game."

The Dudes sit down to talk about Anticipation this week a little. We must say a little because there is plenty of tangent talking in this episode. But how can you blame the Dudes? I mean, talk for an hour about just anticipation? Impossible.

After starting off on a bad foot due to a lame joke made by Justin and Michael deservedly giving him the silent treatment for it, the Dudes get right to the heart of Anticipation, board games, ridiculous reviews and much more.

While this is a lesser known NES title that you may not have experience with, the Dudes put on a great show for the listeners.

Thanks for listening.

Wrecking Crew

This week the Dudes dive into a Nintendo black box classic in Wrecking Crew. Brought to the NES by the famous Nintendo R&D1 crew, Wrecking crew brought an old school arcade feel directly into the living rooms of many.

Wrecking Crew is one of the earliest games that Mario, Luigi and perhaps Wario make an appearance. The Dudes speculate that there was either a furlough in the plumbers' union or a strike that lead to the need for Mario and Luigi to explore the field of demolition. Despite the career turn for the Italian plumbers, Wrecking Crew makes for an entertaining play.

The Dudes enjoy this early Nintendo classic and hope you do as well. This was a fun podcast for the Dudes and hope the fun continues in your ears!
