ToonZone reports that the near-forgotten Nintendo cartoon Captian N is coming to dvd!

“Captain N & The New Super Mario World originally aired for one season on NBC in the fall of 1991. Each half-hour episode was split into two unrelated segments. Captain N aired on its own for 2 seasons before being paired with Super Mario World for its 3rd season. Super Mario World followed closely on the success of previous Mario Bros. cartoons The Super Mario Bros. Super Show and The Adventures of Super Mario 3. Captain N & The New Super Mario World 2-DVD set will be available on November 13, 2007 for $29.99 SRP.”

Interestingly enough, me and a co-worker had a brief discussion about this show, and cartoons from our childhood (aka the Smurfs and Ninja Turtles era). I don’t remember too much about this show. Ou tof all the Nintendo based cartoons, the Super Mario Bros. Super Show is the one I most watched, and even that is a blur.

But I think it’s a good thing this is being released on dvd. It’s a lost remnance from a time when Nintendo ruled our childhood. Those were the good ol’ days!
