Cool video game montage lets iconic characters 'Go Right'

5/1/2012

"Go Right" is a montage of side-scrolling video game scenes that will shake some 8-bit memories loose for anyone who grew up with their thumbs attached to a NES controller. Both iconic and overlooked ("Adventure Island," anyone?) characters have been assembled into a surprisingly moving montage that shows them doing what they did best: going left to right. Gaming enthusiast RockyPlanetismal synched the ever-scrolling Marios and Sonics and Kirbys and Links to Michael Nyman's orchestral "A Wild and Distant Shore," which is the perfect complement to the characters' right-facing quests. "Am I less of a man for crying?" one Redditor asked. You're not if we're not.
