It sounds incredibly tedious and ridiculous—to set up over 30,000 dominoes that encapsulate the vast history of Nintendo and then watch them tumble, producing a miraculous display. However, the collaborative work of two YouTube users, Dieckdomino and ShanesDominoez, has resulted in just that. Incorporating Nintendo memorabilia into the collapsing piece of art, the duo has made this more than just a run of the mill dominoes display; nevertheless, Zelda earned a segment of the presentation and even included a falling Master Sword constructed totally of dominoes.
Take the jump to view the spectacle.

Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland was released only in Japan and Europe, never making it to the USA due to lackluster sales. Surprisingly, the game was well-received among those who did play and review the game. You play as Tingle, a 35-year-old (and single) man lost in the world. Guided by the mysterious figure Uncle Rupee, Tingle fills a mystical spring with money and gain access to the wonderful Rupeeland, a paradise where nobody has to work. Along the way, hire body guards to protect Tingle – but from what? All may not be as it seems in Tingle’s quest for monetary gain, and Rupeeland just might not be so rosy after all...
Awesome vid
but why was sonic included in this since it was supposed to be about nintendo?
I think Nintendo helped make Sonic. Though I may be wrong.
You /are/ wrong, but it's no big deal. XD
Sega and Nintendo worked together that's why Sonic was included.
What in the actual fuck are you all talking about? Nintendo and Sega were huge competitors back when Sonic was first created. They didn't, "work together" to create him. For fucks sake, with the exception of mcdude910 are you all 12 years old?
Instead of getting mad and calling them 12 year olds you could answer their question. I think they included Sonic because now he is one of Nintendo's characters. Think of Mario and Sonic Olympics.
Actually, Sonic is still property of Sega, which is still a third party developer making games for multiple platforms, including Sonic games. Sonic is not a Nintendo character, even though Sega would probably be a LOT better off if Nintendo bought them. Last I heard, Sega is currently owned by a Japanese Pachinko company that doesn't even give a damn about them.
The Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games series is a collaborative effort, where Sega develops the game (historically, Sega almost always gets the rights for producing games based on the Olympics), with Nintendo lending them rights to use Mario characters and images. Sonic's presence in Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a GUEST appearance (similar to the appearance of Solid Snake in the game) with Sega licensing the character to Nintendo for that game.
Why was Sonic chosen over Donkey Kong, Metroid, or Kirby?
That was amazing!
I just saw this yesterday for the first time ever. That is incredibly coincidental.
Love the Missingno tower.
[...] Nintendo ist zweifellos der traditionsreichste Konzern der Videospielgeschichte. Um die Vergangenheit der Firma zu würdigen, haben die Dominostein Künstler DieckDomino und ShanesDominoez einen absolut brillanten Domino Kurs zur Geschichte von Nintendo gebaut. Dies kostete sie neben 30.000 Dominosteine und vermutlich auch eine gigantische Menge Freizeit. Was ich jedoch nicht verstanden habe: Wieso ist Sonic in dem Video? [via Zelda Universe] [...]
Awesome vid. Shame that the "the end" part didn't all fall down as planned. But was it supposed to have been one single run of dominoes? Seems like it was different segments shot at different times. It would be hard to film the different parts in one go unless you followed the line of dominoes around the room. Plus it doesn't look like there was much space for all those dominoes at once.
Still, an incredible spectacle. Loved the use of Wii game cases and remotes as part of it.
Whoa !
Awesome video ! You really have to be patient to create this. Imagine if something goes wrong during the filming :/
We used to have a yearly tv-show like this here in the Netherlands, but it stopped because they didn't have enough money and we just kept trying to beat our own record since no other country participated. It was a bit larger than this though, with something around 5 million dominoes.
5 million?! Just a bit larger you say…
pretty intense stuff here
Amazing, Nintendo's been very good at marketing these things.<img src="http://www.wsale.net/qy/oue.jpg"><img src="http://www.wsale.net/qyl/ppa.jpg">
