When I was researching the RacerMate thing, I stumbled across what I think the origin of Pipe Dream may have been. Remember Pipe Dream, the fun puzzle game for NES? I always remembered seeing ads for the game, way before I actually bought it.
Super Mario Bros. TV Shows
Nintendo always had its ways of marketing its products to younger gamers. By now Nintendo has seemed to have drawn away from this tactic, maybe kids are growing up too fast these days. Back in the early 90s, Nintendo marketed several TV shows featuring our favorite plumbers and Captain Nintendo.
