I found out from facebook because one of my friends had posted a youtube video of Lou "doing the Mario" with the caption "Farewell sweet prince."
RIP Mario.
RIP Mario.
Haha, what Magnalon said. I wouldn't expect Miyamoto to know who he was, or that America even had a Mario tv show.
Well he probably didn't know because he probably had little to nothing to do with Super Mario Brothers Super Show.
Suddenly the room was quiet as Miyamoto looked down with a deep sadness. "Goodnight, sweet prince" said the now dejected Mario creator. A tear gently fell down his left eye.. a sign to the world that the most important man in his life is now lost forever.
Not a whole lot of people know who the Captain is, I'd wager. Not in Japan, anyway.
I remember talking to Lou quite a few times when I lived back in New York -- He did a lot of charity work for my elementary school.
RIP, Mario.

The cynic wants to say "He had no idea who he was", but hopefully that's not the case. I'd imagine Miyamoto would know who the actor was who was playing his breakout household name character creation in America.
Yeah, I'm thinking along the same lines as Morty.
No matter how high up you are in anything, having something you created turn into a television show in the 80's is a huge deal.
I doubt Shigeru Miyamoto wouldn't remember who that man is.

My friend somehow found the first few seasons on this legendary show for $5 at Play N Trade, and now I think it's time to break it out for some respect paying time.
Wait Luigi is still alive actor Danny Wells.

His last words were, ''SWING YOUR ARMS FROM SIDE TO SIDE, COME ON IT'S TIME TO GO DO THE MARIO!'' beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep (life support machine)
Bummer. I wouldn't expect Miyamoto to know though. He seems to be the type of guy who endulges in the video games and leaves all the promotional stuff and sideshow bullshit to the Big N.
Fucking N'Gai Croal. Always stirring up the controversy and making people feel awkward. :P
:( :( :( on the news though. :(

Even that is a bit cruel, I think that your translation is very accurate, sad but true.
RIP Captain Lou. we'll miss you

I love N'Gai.
That seems to be a breakdown in communication on Nintendo's part though. I would have thought that a company-wide email would have been sent out to announce his death. Sure, it hasn't been on the air in 18 years or so... but still. I just think that having your own after-school cartoon show is a pretty big milestone, and that it would be hard for someone who works that would have not notice the news and the significance that he had to the companies image.

Sad day indeed :(, i remember watching that show when i was little and thought it was the shit. I mean a show based on mario was amazing....well it was lame but to me it was the most amazing thing at the time. The "captain super mario" Albano will be missed R.I.P.
The show was a American show, i dont think Miyamoto had anything to do with the English TV show.
its like John Leguizamo died and asked that same question to Miyamoto. He would say: "WTf is John? horrible American actor? ah yes, he sucks"

Oddly enough, I watched the episodes available on Netflix 360 the week prior to him dying, remembering the awesomeness of Cap'n Lou.
Best. Mario. Ever. I'll miss you, Captain.

Then the next question from an Italian games journalist: "So what? Is mario some kind of mutant power?"
It really is a sad story, and a shame that someone as awesome as Captain Lou Albano passed away so relatively early.
Personally though, the definitive version of Mario is Bob Hoskins.

Yeah it was a goofy show, but live action Mario was my childhood. You have to see on the dvd release Lou talking about his role as Mario, he didn't take it too seriously, but he understood that kids loved Mario.
Damn N'Gai Croal, he made Miyamoto sad ;_;
There's a special place in hell, right next door to Reality TV stars, for people like him!

I used to rent so many VHS Mario videos (that had both the live action and cartoon on them) back in the day and can honestly say they were my favorite movies to rent :( So sad
I used to love the Super Mario Bros. Super Show when I was a kid. Captain Lou will be sorely missed.
@SenorDoucheoisie Hoskins (and Leguizamo's Luigi) have, indeed, left an indelible mark upon the collective psyche of Mario fans worldwide. Whether or not that's a good thing is up for interpretation.

I used to wake up at 6am before school everyday to watch the super mario/zelda cartoons. Those shows pissed me off, it always left you hanging and then when you thought it was going to explain some of the shit that was going on, they just played re-runs.
It was a short stint, but you will be remembered. Too bad, the language barrier must have taken some of the drama away.
Sad but not surprising, Why would Miyamoto know that? Aside from it being based off his character, he had nothing to do with the TV show.
