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...
Can You Determine Which is Which?
Lifted from Super Mario Bros. Villain or Obscure Dinosaur? Score: 100% (15 out of 15) --LBD "Nytetrayn"
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...
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...
Mega Man Zero Official Complete Works Coming May 28th, Previews Now
It's true, the Mega Man Zero Official Complete Works is finally set to arrive, and we've got previews. You can read about it here, or here, or if you need a history lesson, here. Spread the word! --LBD "Nytetrayn"
The Kid gets his Wiings
Whoops, can't believe I forgot to post this here, of all places. Early concept art for Kid Icarus on the Wii. --LBD "Nytetrayn"
Rave Note? Death Rabbids?
Two things I love lately are Death Note, the anime specifically, and Rayman: Raving Rabbids. Well, sort of: I love the teasers and promos and such, but I've yet to play any of the actual games, much to my chagrin. Someday, though. It's a little old, but new to me, and...
Sonic Unleashed
Couldn't let the weekend pass by without saying something on this one. A little over a week ago, I got to report (you guys do follow my stuff on Kombo, right?) on SEGA trademarking a new name for a new game: Sonic Unleashed. Figured we'd hear something sooner or later...
An Evening at Video Games Live
Originally posted on Kombo. Since 2005, gamers have been flocking to listen to their favorite video game music at Video Games Live. The concert is hosted by video game music composer Tommy Tallarico and has seen great success in the last three years it has toured the...
Since everyone’s talking about it…
My post from Kombo yesterday. "I WIN, HD DVD!" Yeah, I know the colors are wrong. It's an allegory. In any case, I guess Michael Bay was right. --LBD "Nytetrayn"
Up, Up, Down, Down, Can’t See Me, My Time is Now
Want. Want this so bad. Just a tad out of my range for a shirt at the moment, but I do want this. John Cena? I like him alright. He's not my favorite, but he's likable, I certainly don't hate him. And I appreciate his appreciation of video games, especially the...
15 Years of Wario, part 1
Originally posted on Kombo. It all began with a Foreman named Spike. Appearing in the 1985 Nintendo game Wrecking Crew, Spike appeared as a rival to Mario and Luigi, wreaking havoc around the construction sites at which they worked, and periodically racing the players...
Christmas Stories
One great Christmas story... ...deserves another. --LBD "Nytetrayn"
Xbox 300
One year ago, very nearly to the day, I posted some scans from Wizard Entertainment's Toyfare magazine called A Goombah With A View. And apparently, quite a few people liked it. This year, Toyfare has returned to the realm of video games for their newest Twisted...
Best Buy Gamers Day ’07
So, I went to Best Buy's Gaming Invasion '07 yesterday last week (so much for prompt posting), and it was filled with fun and with disappointment. The highlight for me was finally getting my hands on some Wii games I had not yet been able to play, and so naturally,...
Master Chief Masters Geeks
Sorry folks, no update tonight due to lack of sleep; I'll try and get one done in the morning. But, it's not all bad, at least for some, as this means that I get to specifically highlight one item I did promise I'd put up tonight. Bryan "DarkMoogle" Carr and Geekspeak...
Contra 4: Konami Interviews Aggressively!
Like many games, the Contra series has seen its share of ups and downs over its 20-year history, starting off as one of the definitive "must-play" NES games, a third-party icon of gaming alongside the likes of Mega Man, Double Dragon, and Ninja Gaiden, among others....
Parallel Peach
So awhile back, I did that article to celebrate Super Mario Bros. 2, and point out its contributions to the Mario mythos as a whole, and why it should be considered a true Mario game, even putting forth the idea that maybe it was originally meant to be (I never saw a...
A Goombah With A View
...they misspelled "Goomba." Anyway, the new issue of Toyfare has come out, and as if by some psychic granting of my wishes, the newest Twisted Toyfare Theater sports a story with a theme of which I am very fond. Enjoy! Get this, plus a feature on the return of...
