For many video game fans who grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, the 1989 movie The Wizard holds a special place in their hearts – not for being a good film, necessarily, but for being an hour and a half long Nintendo advertisement. More specifically, it’s famous for being the first place that North Americans set their eyes on Super Mario Bros. 3, which had not yet seen its Western release due to a worldwide chip shortage.

The film stars a young Fred Savage (known for his role on The Wonder Years) as Corey and Jenny Lewis (now a successful musician) as Haley. Along with Corey’s younger brother, a gaming prodigy, the trio travels across the country to enter the sibling in a video game competition. During filming, CBS’s Entertainment Tonight stopped by to chat with Savage and check in on the filming. Take a look.

A North Texas native, I was born in '80s and grew up '90s playing a hefty amount of NES, Sega Genesis, and SNES. Some early favorites include Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, Road Rash II, and Super Mario World. As the 3D revolution took hold in the late 1990s, my interest in video games waned while my interest in music grew. Then around 2007, I started recollecting some old favorites which led to discovering classics I missed out on. The casual hobby snowballed into a full-blown obsession, and it became my mission to make up for years of lost gaming.
