Early Edition: US Wii Conference
So Nintendo came and had their big US press conference out of the Nintendo World Store over in New York. Wish I could've gone, but what can you do? Well, you can dig around for information at various sites online(or just come here, where it's been compiled). IGN was...
Inafune To Leave Capcom!
...well, sorta. Maybe, maybe not exactly. IGN reports that Capcom and Games Arena(a subsidiary of Japanese communications company Dwango) will be creating a subsidiary called Daletto Co., with Capcom holding a majority interest. With Mega Man and Dead Rising creator...
Beware the SD Zombies
Oh, way to go, Capcom. Remember that issue of Dead Rising not working with standard-definition TVs? Well, according to Game|Life, it seems that even though the suggestions Capcom offered to help fix the problem were not particularly helpful, they have no plans to...
Leap Into The Future?
Capcom USA continues to act in a most curious manner as the release date for their next Mega Man title, Mega Man ZX. However, the title is not being completely ignored as Capcom has put together a Mega Man ZX web page to promote the game. Unfortunately, it lacks much...
o/~ Future’s A Rockin’ and He’s Ready To Go
Ok, we knew it was too good to be true. But as it happens, Sonic has a new site for his 360 premiere, and under characters, it definitely looks like he's bringing along a few friends. Of course, how many are actually playable is anyone's guess. The song is kinda neat,...
…stop! Tingle Time!
Like him, love him, or hate him, it seems most people have an opinion about the somewhat-disturbing character of Tingle, a middle-aged man who wants to be a fairy. As some of you no doubt have heard, Nintendo is giving the peculiar character his very own game, titled...
More McMario
As promised(albeit a bit late), here are the images from the bag for the McDonald's "Take the Mario Challenge" Happy Meal. (Yoshi's side says to have a friend toss different sports balls in the air, and catch them the way Yoshi catches fruit.) The other side and...
o/~ Ba-da-ba-ba-ba… We’re Rippin’ Off!
GoNintendo has got a commercial for the new McDonald's "Take the Mario Challenge" Happy Meals up. Hmm, now it strikes me as kind of familiar... where have I seen that before...? LBD "Nytetrayn"
5 Years…
...and a day. Wow, I knew it was right around this time, but on a whim I double-checked, and it turns out that I created The Rockman/Mega Man Manga Petition five years(and a day) ago on August 29th, 2001. Since that time, the petition has gained 10,229 signatures,...
Much Ado About Strategy Guides
2old2play has a nice article up about strategy guides, and how they've made games harder. Yep, you read that right. Read on to see what he means. Myself, though, I go about it differently. I seldom use a strategy guide or an FAQ unless I am ABSOLUTELY stuck and have...
M.E.G.A. On! part 2
Since, as far as I can tell, people can't take a joke("M.E.G.A. On!" was entirely by me, folks), I thought I'd offer this follow-up regarding the possible catchphrase for the morphing sequence of the upcoming Mega Man ZX. As I was waiting at the bookstore to meet...
Light or Wrong?
Mandi Paugh once more blesses us with a brand-spanking new Mega Musing, this time regarding the bizarre naming confusion surrounding one Mr. Eugene Chaud/Chaud Blaze/Enzan Ijuuin. Incidently, I was of the thought that "Eugene" was picked as it seemed closer to...
Oh No! A Barrel!
Wow, this Donkey Kong short is funny as hell. Sadly, because it's true. Unfortunately, it fails for no hammer. Also, happened to find a vid of the Mario vs. Donkey Kong cutscenes tied together, sans credits. What can I say, I'm a sucker for a happy ending. Incidently,...
Objection!
Can't remember if I posted this or not, but... The Trial of Sony. Sony has been accused of lying to the public. The prosecutor is one Miles Edgeworth, and the defense is provided by Mr. Phoenix Wright. LBD "Nytetrayn"
R.I.P., Tony. You Were Awesome.
Today is a sad, sad day in animation and video games. ...actually, yesterday was a sad, sad day in animation and video games. For it was then that Mr. Tony Jay, Veteran Royal Shakespeare Actor and esteemed voice artist passed on. Tony Jay leaves a vast legacy of work...
More Donkey Kong Talk
Re-reading the sidebars in that article about DK's history at 1UP, I just want to say that I don't think that Donkey Kong Country or Diddy's Kong Quest were bad at all. "Mediocre" gameplay seems a bit harsh, really. DKC3 was alright, though I never did finish it,...
Celebration Station
What does it take to make a person feel old? Well, one thing might be when many of your treasured childhood franchises are celebrating anniversaries. That number in the double digits. And could do so twice over in some cases. I digress, however. At the very least, it...
Grand Theft Cola
Thanks to kyouryuu for this one. A Coke commercial inspired by Grand Theft Auto. Believe it or not, I love it. LBD "Nytetrayn"
Here We Go Again…
Oh great, ANOTHER hedgehog... At least it seems like Shadow can move on foot. LBD "Nytetrayn"
Mario Flash
Poor Luigi. Maybe he ought to keep chasing Ecclair or Daisy. Cute little Mario 3 Flash, uses no sprites(well, just one), but I'm mainly posting it because I'm curious if anyone can identify the "30 minutes later" music. LBD "Nytetrayn"
