A little while back, Dirk VH created a giant lego version of Mario. The creation stands at 5 foot 9 and is said to be the largest lego version of Mario in the world. Now, Dirk has created a Yoshi from lego, to keep Mario company. He spent 60 hours creating Yoshi out of lego. It isn’t as big as Mario but, still classifies as a “giant” lego Yoshi. He stands at 2 foot tall, with bulbous proboscis and doesn’t fall over onto Yoshi’s nose.

Monopoly fans will find the traditional streets replaced with Nintendo characters. Mario – easily Nintendo’s most recognizable face – can be found in the place of Boardwalk, the standard game’s most expensive property.

Other features include Nintendo-themed player tokens, a special 60-minute speed play mode, power-ups and invincibility instead of houses and hotels, and a slew of other enhancements

Isn’t it amazing how video games have crossed over?  They are now everywhere it seems.  Phones, Mp3 players, bars, corner stores and now onto board games.  I am remembering when my parents told me video games would rot my brain.
