Shantae Meets the Mario Bros.

  I don't know if any of you readers have heard of Pixelblocks, but they're pretty awesome. Imagine 1x1 Lego blocks that can slide against each other OR stack. They're awesome not just because you can make 3D versions of your favorite video game characters (NES and GBC), but also because these figures will be to scale. I've already whipped up a bunch of pixelblock characters, including several Mega Man bosses, Super Mario characters, and NES-era Samus. I'm currently on a Shantae kick, so I thought I'd sculpt everyone's favorite half-genie heroine.    


What would happen if Shantae met the Mario Brothers?    


Shantae meets the Mario Bros.    


"Hello, boys!"  (Lady GaGa's "Just Dance" comes on)    


Shantae dancing    


"Holy a-moley! Princess Peach never a-danced like this!"    


Dancin' at the CPU    


And now Shantae is back at the computer.    


So, in summary, Pixelblocks are awesome and you should check them out. Second, Shantae is awesome, and I can't wait for the DSi sequel. You can see more of my Pixelblock creations on my Facebook page.

This would be my PSN Trophy Card, but I guess I can't post HTML in my Signature. I'm the pixel spaceship, and I have nine Gold trophies.

Just some random guy on the internet who has a different opinion of games than you.

Finally a chance to shoot him in the face at home.
