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"
Who’s Still Bad?
Looks like another one of those Japanese Michael Jackson Moonwalker Flash vids has been put up. How epic. LBD "Nytetrayn"
M.E.G.A. On!
In the recently-release September 2006 issue of Nintendo Power, there is a cover story titled "A New Man" about the upcoming Mega Man ZX which reveals a few tidbits regarding the English release of the game, as well as features and art from the game in general. First...
“Attack of the Show,” Indeed
I'd love to know just when wasting systems became en vogue. I mean, damn. It was funny the first hundred times, with the XBoxes and GameCubes and such, but I'm starting to loseWeight Exercise interest. Oh yeah, and Nintendo is repairing them for free if they're under...
It’s-a Me!
Wow, looking around for stuff on Charles Martinet, and came across this rather old interview with GameSpy, going over how he got the job and such. LBD "Nytetrayn"
Whoa, Really?
Once again, cut one story from the rest that interested me a bit more... So, it turns out that game developers really hate game reviewers. Well, that comes as no surprise, there are plenty of gamers who hate game reviewers, too. Funny how that works. I especially...
Where Have All the Mascots Gone?
I liked this one so much, I decided to give it its own space. Next-Generation takes a look at CULTURE: Mascots and Messages: "Whatever happened to the videogame mascot? Here, Eric-Jon R?ssel Waugh uses Sonic the Hedgehog as a prime example of the good and not-so-good...
Do the Mario
A medley of clips from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. My favorite is where Toad taunts the Bob-omb... LBD "Nytetrayn"
Rock the Plumbers
Super Mario Bros. Z, episode 3! Pretty good, IMO. Still got the funny, and a whompass fight scene to boot. 😀 LBD "Nytetrayn"
SEGA!
XBoxyde has some new gameplay movies of Sonic the Hedgehog. Looks good, here's hoping that SEGA is putting as much into this one as they did the last time they had to launch a system... namely, their own. Sadly, no Shadow is present. I really, really want something...
Mario Mania
You can bet your ass I plan to go to this. And for those who aren't in Canada(and even those who are), a neat little something on YouTube: a speedrun of Super Mario Sunshine, and I think it's even got the ending and such. Of course, a game like SMS probably isn't...
The Happiest of Meals
It started with an essay. Well, more like an "essay." Over at The Allspark, Defunct said a few words about recent McDonald's Happy Meal offerings, namely Cars and Pirates of the Caribbean. Myself, not without any lack of memories of good times(taste disputed) at...
Bidding Has Ended.
So, that factory-sealed Super Mario Bros. 2 auction I was watching ended, and damn. $155? Not bad. LBD "Nytetrayn"
Grand Finale?
So, some of you out there may be familiar with a little series of Flash movies simply titled "Mario Bros." Bowser makes plans to kidnap the Princess, Luigi dies in the initial strike, dramatic music, sprites from the first Super Mario Bros.... if you need a refresher,...
Happy Birthday, Mista Prezident!
Wow, now this is an interesting way to promote your product... I want a DS Lite. 🙁 Anyway, I laughed. LBD "Nytetrayn"
Is Konami Listening?
Posted for the benefit of Toastyfrog and any other Castlevania fans reading this. A little Flash movie titled" Castlevania Online. Gotta admit, the idea's got some merit. LBD "Nytetrayn"
