Super Mario Chess available at Gamestop

super-mario-chess

Well, chess counts as a game, right? There’s no reason Gamestop can’t sell a chess set. Especially one with an awesome Mario theme. Birdo and Yoshi as knights work perfectly, though there’s something disturbing about Bowser Jr. and Luigi as queens. Then, of course, there’s the fact that the pawns aren’t Goombas and Toads, who are instead rooks for some reason.  Kind of a missed opportunity.

This slightly flawed chess set can be yours for just $49.99. Can I have my check now?

    $50!?

    Merchandising, merchandising! Where the real money from the video game comes from!

    How about I buy the New Super Mario Bros. for Wii for $50 instead? And I might just go next door to the dollar store and buy a chess set for $1 while I’m at it.

    Where are the koopas!? I see shells, but not Koopas! I want my as yet unspent money back!

    Seriously, though. This might be worth it just for the figurines.
