Super Mario Bros.

When Super Mario Bros. 3 came out, it was one of the most highly anticipated days that I can recall from my childhood.  This was when video games were not commonplace, but cool.  Rumors ran wild that Mario could now fly, and being a very young boy at the time this was like having a second Christmas day.  As I grow older, newer and anticipated releases just do not seem to get me excited anymore.  I figure, when I want to experience the new products, I will.  I don't even play video games anymore.  I haven't been to the movie theaters in months.  Am I transforming into a lame robot, or just merely unconvinced by the hype that surrounds anything that is shoved in our faces on a daily basis?  Buses, stadiums, websites.... everything is strewn with advertisements and hype!  I wish I could still feel that excitement again, the excitement for something new.  The anticipation of my personal Super Mario Bros. 3.
