In a new housing development
in Zaragoza, people has voted that all the streets have names related with videogames. The new streets will have names as Mario Street, Luigi Avenue or Tetris Square.

If you could, which names would you give to streets?

Edit: The first Avenue has been inagurated with the name of "Super Mario Bros Avenue"
