NXpress Nintendo Podcast #6: The Wizard and Mario Maker

The Wizard Podcast Review
Although e-sports have long been a part of video game culture since the early ’70s, competitions saw a large surge in popularity in 1989 when Universal Pictures-produced The Wizard, a movie about a trio of kids who make their way to a national Nintendo video game championship for a grand prize of $50,000. The Wizard didn’t go down as a timeless, cinematic classic, but it did develop an understandable cult following as the years went on, and this week we’ll tell you why. But first, we discuss the brand new footage of the long-awaited Mario Maker as well as the future of the franchise.
