Free Nintendo Games via Firefox… Are You Kidding Me?!?!?

Super Mario Bros on Firefox

Play Super Mario Bros. through Firefox for free?
Yet another reason why the internet is so great!

I’m not much of a gamer. I go through phases of spending some time on any video games. 99% of the time it’s sports games. Once in a blue moon I can spend the better part of a weekend lost in an entire season of NCAA Football, FIFA World Cup (I’m rocking the 2002 edition!) or that dreaded Tiger Woods PGA Tour (Curse you EA Sports! It’s not just in the game, it’s run havoc on my life overall!)

However, I do appreciate the serious respect that gaming deserves. I don’t have the exact statistics but I do know enough to know that the gaming industry as a whole has made more money than the film industry for the past several years. Their profit margins are apparently “staggering”. Spend a good amount of capital up front to develop and market the games and make multiple times that in revenues in replicating similar technology in several other titles to mass produce and distribute globally. And unlike movies, most gamers hardly need to understand the universal language of “kill or be killed” or “score more points than your opponent to win” concepts that language barriers can sometimes create. Makes sense.

What was the point of this post?

Oh right! Just found out that Firefox has developed an add-on in their new browser where you can play something like 2,500 Nintendo games for free!

Pretty sweet.

But since most people don’t care about that, this browser is for you! The smart address bar is particularly cool.

Now that Mozilla’s locked down Firefox 3’s final feature set with Friday’s push of release candidate 1, it’s official: while Firefox 3 boasts some great new features like a smart address bar and better bookmarks manager
