Nintendo’s Catch-22

Nintendo’s Catch-22

A lot of people are upset at Nintendo, because they promised they would be announcing titles for "core" gamers at E3. But, there's one small flaw in that. They never made such a promise. --LBD "Nytetrayn"

Glad I’m Long Past That

Wow. Can you imagine anything more humiliating? On the upside, it seems unlikely that anyone would be hassled by their peers locally, unless they're either really tall, or just... you know. 8 years old. But on a national level...? Funny that it's only a $25 fine... if...

MegaMan Star Force on DVD

From The Mega Man Network's frontpage (which has been up and down like crazy since we broke the NP Mega Man 9 confirmation, sorry folks): Mega Man Star Force, the animated series that is, was pretty much relegated to online showings. For those who may want to watch it...

The Top 6 Most American Video Game Characters

Ah, the Fourth of July, Independence Day. A day for fireworks, apple pie, and barbecues... to celebrate being an American, while at the same time trying to keep the effect of gas and oil prices on the local economy well out of your mind. Oops. So much for that. In any...

Mega Man 9

Mega Man 9 is real. It is coming to WiiWare, and I would not be surprised to see it on the other two as well. Check out the story we broke on the internet at The Mega Man Network, from which all the rest followed. ;P Including my own summary of key points of interest...

Super Princess Peach: Better Value Than I First Imagined

Super Princess Peach has certainly surprised me, and is doing its very best to prove it's worth every penny of the rather hefty price tag (in my opinion) it carried, even after I beat it earlier today. For starters, it is pretty much fanservice central when it comes...

Mario Kart Wii Has Me Singin’ the Blue Shell Blues

As previously noted, I've finally gotten my hands on Mario Kart Wii and the Wii Wheel packaged alongside it. And for the most part, I've been rather enjoying it, though I've not yet ventured online. I've warmed up to the Wii Wheel, and gotten better at the bikes. For...

Welcome Back, ReBoot

Tsk. Boss says that he doesn't see how it's game related, so I'm moving my blog post over hereabouts: So, this is sort of a game-related post, but sort of not... though, there was an okay PS1 game based on it. But, in case you've been living under a rock for the past...

Licensed to Shell

Weee! I got my official Mario Kart Wii license at the Nintendo tour! Speaking of which, playing it... man. It is at the same time fun and frustrating. But I think I've figured something out. I think the computer doesn't really target you when you're in first... it...

Nintendo’s Catch-22

Dear Nintendo…

Dear Nintendo, I am enjoying Mario Kart Wii, and would like to know when I might be able to purchase the full version. Sincerely, --LBD "Nytetrayn" Seriously, there is NO WAY I'm ever going to get all of these unlockables. That saves for this game and Super Smash...

15 Years of Wario, part 2

Originally posted on Kombo. For Part 1 of this feature, click here. Battered, Beaten, Never Defeated After enough fun (and spoiling others' fun), Wario rolled up his sleeves and got back to work doing what he does best: gathering treasure. With all his success up to...

I’m going to Hell for this…

...but I can't help but laugh at it. I totally didn't see this coming, even despite the video's title. Maybe laughing at stuff like this is why bad things happen. --LBD "Nytetrayn"
