New Super Mario Bros.: Did you notice…?
If you come across a red Koopa Troopa(they're easier to keep an eye on) or a Goomba in New Super Mario Bros., keep an eye on them. They dance to the music on certain beats. Gotta love the small touches in a game. Also, the Power-Ups seem to do it, too; a Magic...
What is love?
New Super Mario Bros. is love. Pure love. Ah, but if only I knew about animating gifs... LBD "Nytetrayn"
Business
So, in a recent LJ post, I was told: You think Reggie deserves more because you like Nintendo. That's really all, if you liked Sony, you'd like the junk Kutaragi is spouting too. *shrug* I think they're all dicks, it's their job to be. Quite fair, and I agree to some...
Hmm.
One thing woekitten and I agree on is that we really do feel bad for the fate which befell Gunpei Yokoi, during Yamauchi's administration at Nintendo. The man came up with all manner of creations in R&D1, including Metroid, Kid Icarus, and Game & Watch. Before...
Network Transmission at 28K
There are times I disagree with something Mandi has to say, and then there are times in which I agree with her 100%. This is one of the latter times, in case you couldn't tell. LBD "Nytetrayn"
Zoinks, yo.
So, a couple of weeks ago, I brought up here the news of a new Scooby-Doo cartoon that involved a transforming Mystery Machine and nanotech Scooby. Well, it sorta came up again in #megaman-network, when we were discussing anime and how it gets cut here and stuff:...
Itagaki Interview
I'm probably the only guy who appreciates the man, but anyway, here he is, discussing DOAX2 and Ninja Gaiden 2 and such. IGN: What are the gifts like this time around? Last time you gave them flowers, or they might have liked a particular flower or pattern. What are...
Surprise, surprise. This has nothing to do with E3.
And in a way, I'm regretful of that. Because it means no new game for the series was announced. Well, except for the arcade original being on XBox Live Arcade. So I guess this is a celebration of that. Anyway, in the interest of sharing, and because someone FINALLY...
What if…
Thought on Super Smash Bros. Brawl... ...it'd be neat if say, one alternate costume for each character was an 8-bit sprite of that character. Don't know how possible/plausible that is, though, since I'm sure proportions and the like would change for at least a few...
New Super Mario Bros. Reviews
Over at Penny Arcade Forums, Slash000 and I have similar predictions/fears: I predict that a minority of reviewers will severely mark down this game for being archaic and unevolved, simplistic, and "just another basic 2D sidescroller." Hell, they'll say that the game...
Oh my God… Pac-Man: The Movie
This had me in tears! XD This is... wow. What can I say? It's like the Hollywood mentality. It's just so perfect. I have to find a way to save this... LBD "Nytetrayn"
Sonic the Hedgehog
Yeah, I'm stoked. Gives me a reason to look at another next-gen besides the Wii, anyway. Though with money being what it is, I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but I shan't complain. That is the nature of the business, and I've known this for years now, like it or...
Where Can You Find It?
As though the name "Wii" hasn't been hammered on enough already, here's a little more, in defense of the name. I pretty much get what he's saying, and agree with it, particularly with the international part. One has to admit, "Nintendo Wii" does sound a little more...
Round 1… FIGHT!
So, woekitten and I rented Street Fighter Alpha Generations a while back. Man, what a pile. Probably one of the dullest, worst-acted anime I've ever seen, Street Fighter or otherwise. I'm glad I only paid the rental fee instead of the purchase price, and since the DVD...
As usual, YTMND sinks in its fangs…
...and won't let go for awhile. Bill Pullman: Wii Celebrate our Wii! Mitch Hedberg approves of the Nintendo Wii Wii Fad - R. Lee Ermey's Comments Nobody messes with Adam Wii. Wii!!! (Gonads and Strife) Miyamoto goes "Wii!" First screenshots of Mario Wii! How to...
Two cool Mario Flash movies.
One is "Dumbass Mario," by the guy who made the old Mario Land stuff. The second... remember those rumors and stuff that'd gone around that Mario was a Communist? Well, this is a pretty awesome Flash based on that whole idea. No, I'm not a Communist, that doesn't mean...
DiC Nintendo Cartoons: A Primer
I just typed a reply to a topic over at Penny Arcade regarding the Mario toons, and it went longer than I'd expected. Since I invested all that into my post, I'd hate to see it disappear with another forum crash, or simply age, so I'm reposting it here. Super Mario...
Is Sonic “Bad?”
Did Michael Jackson help create the soundtrack for Sonic 3? Some people seem to think so. It's interesting, to say the least. And the replacement music really sucks, also, to say the least. Wish they'd gone into more depth. Like that last MJ song, what was that...
You can’t deny Mario’s popularity
LONG music video, all about Mario, some light rap to Super Mario Land tunes. Tons of commercials and animation from the US and Japan, maybe even some Europe, too. LBD "Nytetrayn"
Slowing Down
Reading a topic on Super Mario Sunshine, it saddens me to think that the GameCube's entire life cycle was spent with only one Mario game, and not even a particularly good one at that. Not to say Sunshine is all bad. It's a pretty good platformer, though my interest...
