Amazing 1980s Nintendo News Segment, Hosted By Bill O’Reilly

Posted by Stephen Totilo on 4/15/09 at 3:30 pm.

I love old news clips from the yesteryear of video games. Thanks to Gawker (via Mental Floss), let’s marvel at this Inside Edition look into that wild craze, “Super Mario Brothers.” Added bonuses include an appearance by show host Bill O’Reilly and some handy tips for beating the Hammer Brothers.

(Note: This is clip is not as awesome as MTV News’ vintage report on the Journey video game. Nothing tops that.)

Mmmm, soft news. Weren't there more pressing matters in 1988? The Iran-Contra affair? The election?

Why couldn't Bill O'Reilly just stay like that? =/ He seems like such a nice guy. Although I remember that recent ET clip, lol

I don't see how you could complain about television news back then, with what we have here today =/

I'm surprised Totilo didn't already know about this. It comes up every few months and is always a welcome classic.

I love how all the shots of the kid (or kids) playing are with the lights off. Kids only play games in dark empty lonely rooms.

And it's always funny for me to see real life Howard Phillips after seeing him in so many Howard and Nester comics.
