Nintendo = World Domination
Friday, May 18th, 2007DS Lite Browser Coming Soon
Friday, May 4th, 2007
Nintendo has announced that the DS internet browser will be released in North America on June 4th. We’ll be able to buy the DS lite version in stores, but people still primarily using the old, phat DS will have to buy the browser online due to the differing sizes of of the RAM cartridges (that go in the GBA slot) that are required to run the browser card on the DS systems.
First “New” Game on VC Coming Soon
Thursday, May 3rd, 2007
Impossible Mission, a game for the Commodore 64 which was later remade for the GBA, will be remade once again and will be available for purchase for the Wii only by downloading it through the Virtual Console. This will be the first “new” game that has been made available through the VC. This game may well open the doors for other original games for the Virtual Console (ala X-box Live arcade). The same game will also be available for purchase for the DS.
Polarium Wii?
Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007
The Mitchell Corporation (who made Polarium for the DS and GBA) has announced that they have three games in the works for release in 2007. One for the Wii, and two for the DS. I thought that Polarium was one of the more clever games for the DS, and I liked it quite a bit. I hope that whatever they’re making for the Wii will be at least as good as Polarium was.
Wii Review — Super Paper Mario
Tuesday, May 1st, 2007
Hours Played: ~5 hours
World Currently On: 4-2
Paper Mario games have done much in the past to revitalize Nintend’s biggest franchise. These games in the past have given us all the chance to see some of our favourite Mario characters in an RPG setting (this was also done by Mario RPG for the SNES, and the Mario & Luigi games for DS and GBA, but who’s counting?). The newest Paper Mario game takes the Mario franchise back to its roots. Good old platforming. While I don’t normally enjoy platformers, I must say that Super Paper Mario has been one of the most refreshing and entertaining games that I’ve played in a long time. Super Paper Mario (SPM) is also one of the best Mario games I have ever played.
