Video of the Nintendo Museum, Mario flashing gang signs

We were bummed already to miss out on the week-long "Nintendo Museum" at the Hankyu Department Store in Osaka, Japan a few days back -- apparently a round trip flight to Japan, a few days of non-stop sushi gorging and a walk down Nintendo's memory lane doesn't qualify as a business expense, who knew? But we're even more bummed to learn that Mario has traded his trademark peace sign for a more traditional American greeting: a gang sign. Luckily, YouTuber GovernorWatts was there with a video camera to catch the action, comprised of Nintendo toys from all the way back in 1889 through the 1970s and beyond. Peep that dual screen Game & Watch! Video after the break.

He isn't Colbert's Son. His name is Daniel Watts, he is from Northern California, and went to UC San Diego. That is where I met him. I really likes Nintendo. Bought a game cube over the Xbox back in the day. Good Guy.

He is a geek like the rest of us.
