#250 - Super Smash Hits

Edinburgh Man Junior has a new obsession - Super Smash Brothers Melee on the Nintendo GameCube. You see, his dad has worked in video games for quite some time, and as a result has amassed an array of video games consoles from years gone by. For some unknown reason all this retro hardware is very attractive for small children, and at the weekend Edinburgh Man Junior asked to play "video games"€. We went through quite a selection until we found Smash Brothers, but the wee man was hooked straight away. I mean, Pikachu AND Mario? What's not to like?

Anyway, his actual method of playing is somewhat original. If only I could attach a video instead of an image to the podcast. It'€™s basically like he'€™s using the Wii Fit, except without the balance board. He jumps around and acts out the moves while playing the game. I wonder how long before he puts his arm through the TV..?
