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...
Retronauts vs. Virtual Console
Meant to bring this up yesterday, but it somehow fell off the radar. One part caught my eye in particular: "Somebody coming in with absolutely no knowledge of Nintendo's back catalogue would look at the Virtual Console lineup and deduce that Nintendo was a game...
Let’s Get Ready To BRAWL!
Special update: GameTrailers has the Nintendo World 2006 trailer for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Snake fits right in, amusingly enough. And look, a Mario Kart stage! Looks like some old stages come back, and some changes for others; Mario Kart looks like a revised F-Zero...
The PMO Super Mario Bros. 2 Anniversary Special Feature Presentation
For many, it all began in 1985 with Super Mario Bros., the title packed in with many of the Nintendo Entertainment Systems sold throughout the later half of the eighties and into the nineties. It was a title which revived an industry that many had written off as...
Happy Birthday, Mega Man!
Not a huge thing, but I thought it was neat, and wanted to mention it before I forgot. Over at the Penny Arcade forums' thread for Mega Man ZX, Neo Rasa had the following piece of information: " Probably very old news, but today is my birthday and my DS is configured...
Wii.com Online
The official Wii website is no longer a teaser, but they have actual content running on there now. There's a bit more of a detailed look at what was covered in the conference, and you can see the interface and more detailed descriptions of various functions, such as...
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...
