Let me start by clarifying that this is in no way a Nintendo marketing attempt for the New Super Mario Bros. Wii coming out on November 15th (WTF if this is). This happened for real. Two guys dressed up as Mario and Luigi (presumably for Halloween), plus one other suspect, are now wanted by the police for assault and robbery on a poor cabbie.

Almost buried in a deluge of shovelware and games with "Imagine" in the title, Cing's Hotel Dusk: Room 215 was a surprisingly well-written and well-executed adventure game for the DS. If you loved the original, you might want to start praying that this sequel rumor turns out to be true.
