There are a lot of reasons for wanting to live in Japan. Japanese cuisine in iPhone case form for one, Star Wars lightsaber lighting up the Tokyo subway too and, of course, hi-tech vending machines (containing drinks and nothing else - get your minds...

We love a good Mario spoof here at Pocket-lint. We were massive fans of Joe Nicolosi's Mario movie trailer from SXSW, absolutely adored the College Humour Peach Stockholm Syndrome sketch and were greatly impressed with the detail in Brandon Laatsch's...
