Edit: Catch the replay of Jason playing part of the original Super Mario 3D platformer now!

You think you've seen Super Mario 64 before, but have you seen Jason play Super Mario 64? No? Good. Because that's what will be played tonight, for this week's Monday Night PlayBit. Expect an two and a half hours of Super Mario 64, for some classic 3D platformer fun. Please note that it is unlikely Mario will ever attain 100 coins in a stage in this MNP, so a lot of the boring parts won't occur. Hooray! Click through for the replay! Also note next week, there will not be a Monday Night PlayBit. Sorry for the inconvenience. To make up for it, there will be a Tuesday Night PlayBit, which will occur on Tuesday night, believe it or not, and will feature Jason and Chris (and maybe Bradley) playing through a portion of Ratchet & Clank: All4One to kick off the busy holiday game season.

Looks like we'll be playing none of the above. Smash Bros. Brawl between Chris and Jason it is!

At the time of this post, Metroid: Other M is the leading candidate for this week's Monday Night PlayBit. However, there are several other options. A Boy and His Blob, WarioLand: Shake It!, and Xenoblade Chronicles number among them. Shadow Complex is another possibility on a different console, as is Mega Man X 2.  One thing is certain: This week's PlayBit will begin at 8 PM EDT and end at 9 PM EDT. It's another "short" PlayBit, so join us for an hour-long glimpse at one of these games... Better yet, let me know which one you'd like to see me play! Edit: A surprise, last-minute vote chose a different game. Guess which one?! Starting very soon!

This week's news-oriented PB & Jason also covers a little bit of Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition.

While the title is based off of Namco Bandai's upcoming October release, Go Vacation, don't be fooled! PB & Jason is more than a summer stay at a resort or a monster. Also covered? Trenched, aka Iron Brigade, R-Type and the virtual console, Pietriots and their wall of diversity, the upcoming Playstation Vita Japanese launch, and the Amazon Kindle Fire!
