Random Stuff: Really Cool Megaman Picture

Check this picture out! I thought it was pretty cute and I wanted to share it with everyone.

(3DS) "Pacman & Galaga: Dimensions" Announced

Today Namco Bandai announced "Pacman & Galaga: Dimensions" From what I can make out this game is made up of two separate games, Pacman Tilt and Galaga 3D Impact. Here are some screens below.

(3DS) "The Conduit" is in Works for the Nintendo 3DS

Here you have it people! Proof that a version of The Conduit in some form is in works for the Nintendo 3DS.

"We are very much pulling over this engine and this technology on this new hardware. We're still early. The resolution is definitely lower, but the screen real estate is smaller so it balances out. We've not had a lot of severe optimisation yet, but we're going to be able to have something very close to this [Conduit 2] on the 3DS probably by GDC. We've got environments from this already up and running around. You can shoot, you can select different weapons and you can see enemies. It runs pretty darn well with full 3D and everything. I would guess that SEGA will be interested. I had a nice conversation just yesterday with their head of artist and repertoire. At DICE, the conference in Vegas that's coming up, we'll probably have some more chats. We're very excited about that system and what we're going to be be able to do on it. The work we've done with the Wii, we're going to have a serious leg up. It's quite different than developing for the DS and the DSi. Developers like us that have more of a console experience on GameCube and on Wii are going to be able to take advantage of the 3D better and they're going to be able to do a little bit more with the hardware than people who are coming at it from the straight DS angle and used to doing more 2D, or very limited 3D, kinds of things. There's nothing like it at all (on 3DS). We can be a shining star on this." - High Voltage's Eric Nofsinger

Games to Look Forward to.

It's finally 2011 and unlike last year I find myself wondering where are the games? Last year, when it came to the Wii's lineup, there was at least one major game every month. This year I'm finding it hard pressed to even think of a game for the next few months. After a few moments of searching hard, I found the following games and videos

Mario Sports Mix




Conduit 2




Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword



The Last Story



Special Note: If this game does not make it state side, I will riot, and cry and bawl for a long time. -well, at least until a translation group releases a translation patch ;)

The Grinder



I'm not sure what the deal is with this game. Last time I checked, the Wii version was slated for released in October of this year. I'm not sure if this game will ever see the light of day considering that High Voltage Studios is also working on a XBox 360 and PlayStation 3 version but who knows.

... right there, we have at the least five really good games to look forward to. I'm sure there will be other surprises this year. Only time will tell. For now, let's enjoy all of the great Wii games we have now. :)

Wii: Super Mario Galaxy 2, What's Inside the Box!

Check out this cool picture of what's inside the case of Super Mario Galaxy 2!

Wii: Nintendo's WiiWare Service Celebrates its Second Anniversary

WOW! Times does fly when you're having fun. I remember a while back when I was downloading up my first two WiiWare Games from the Wii Shop Channel. Pop and TV Show King were and still are two pretty good WiiWare Games. If you own a Wii and have yet to experience the WiiWare side of games, go grab a Nintendo Points card from your local retailer or pull out your credit/debit card and purchase a few tiles.


Since the WiiWare service has started...

- 209 games are now in the Wii Shop
- 67 of those games are 1000 Points, closely followed by 62 800 Point games
- Only 2 games in the library are 900 Points: Fun! Fun! Minigolf & The Three Musketeers: One for All!
- Total worth in points: 161,000 Nintendo Points

Wii: Super Mario Galaxy 2 U.S. Commercial and Other Gameplay Clips

It's almost here, it's almost here! Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be released within a few weeks and I am very excited! Below is the commercial that you should be seeing on television within the next couple of days. I think I might be more of a fan of Mario's second "Galaxy outing" than his first. Don't get me wrong, the first one is one of the greatest games of all time and will always hold a place in my gaming heart but this second game looks to take what the first game did to the next level!

"Super Mario Galaxy 2" TV Spot



If you decide to watch the next two videos, remember that "Super Mario Galaxy 2" takes place in a alternate universe where the actions of "Galaxy 1" never took place. That's right you are meeting the Lumas for the first time, all over again. Also take note that all of the following videos will contain spoilers. If you are not a fan of spoilers, I would put off watching these videos.

DS/DSi: New "Pokemon Black" and "Pokemon White" Information

Honestly I still cant believe that we have come from Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow, to Gold, Silver and Crystal to Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, Fire Red and Leaf Green, Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, Heart Gold and Soul silver all the way to Black and White. WOW that's a lot of Pokemon games and I'm not even naming all of the Pokemon side games. "Mysterious Dungeon" series, I'm looking at you! Ladies and gentlemen, Pokemon Black and White are on their way and will be released before year's end (at least in Japan) on the Nintendo DS/DSi. These two new games are sporting more of a 3D look and you can be sure to find many new Pokemon in these two, new versions of this long running series.



- Isshu Region
- protagonists are older than the protagonists from other Pokemon games
- Grass starter: Tsutaja - grass snake pokemon
- Fire starter, Pokabu - fire pig pokemon
- Water starter, Mijumaru - sea otter pokemon
- Zoroark as an ability called 'illusion' which allows him to transform into other Pokemon
- Trickery - allows attack to be calculated using the opponent's stats
- Claw Sharpen - raises user's attack and accuracy stats
- special movie event details: special battle against level 25 Zoroark will occur, which transforms into various Pokemon. It will eventually break transformation which allows for capture.

DS/DSi - Trailer: Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbaride Card Battle Taisen

Warning, Low Quality Video




Looks like a new Kamen Rider (DS) game is on the way and... it's card based. I'm a bit disappointed about this move and feel as if a true fighting game would be better. For now, I will look high and low for the DS version of "Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight". The DS could really use more 3D fighting games than Naruto.

New "Mama" Games hit the Wii and DS/DSi This Fall

That's right people, Mama is back and she's aiming to take over all of your Nintendo consoles! Two new "Mama" games were announced today, Babysitting Mama and Crafting Mama. From the small bit below about "Babysitting Mama" One can only wonder how much Majesco will charge for that game.

Babysitting Mama

- coming to Wii
- due out this Fall
- comes with plush baby doll that allows you to tuck the Wiimote inside
- rock the plush baby doll to care for it

Crafting Mama

- coming to DS

Awesome Princess Rosalina Cosplay!

Michael Patcher Just Wont Give Up His "Wii HD" Prediction

Michael Patcher Just Wont Give Up His "Wii HD" Prediction


"Yes, that's right...Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter is not going to let go of his Wii HD prediction. Earlier today we posted up his predictions for the industry all the way up to 2013. While we discussed the expected 53 million Wii units sold in North America, we didn't mention Mr. Pachter's talk of new consoles. Actually, Pachter doesn't believe that Nintendo/Microsoft/Sony will be shipping out new consoles for the next 4 years...unless you count Wii HD as a new console. Pachter sticks by that prediction, and I don't think he's ever going to give it up!"

-Quoted from GoNintento

"Oh Patcher, you're so crazy!" For now I'll respond to your continued idiotic prediction with the following picture...
