VIDEO: BILL O’REILLY GETS WISE TO SUPER MARIO

Spotted via Gawker, Bill O’Reilly and his Peabody Polk award winning crew at Inside Edition report on the emerging world of Nintendo, at a time when the Mario name meant Puzo more than plumber.

As a bonus, a look behind the scenes at Game Counselor HQ, and another teasing glance at that gold-covered ‘Zelda Tips and Tactics’ booklet that used to sing its (too expensive for a pre-teen) siren song to me from every. single. issue. of Nintendo Power.
