Nintendo’s Video Game Masterpiece
Michael Thomsen, author of IGN’s Contrarian Corner, proposes that The Metroid Prime Trilogy is video gaming’s Citizen Kane. What’s even more impressive, it was a piece for ABC News complete with a Charlie Gibson intro.
In Thomsen’s Contrarian Corner he generally takes a very critical look at a game that becomes a darling [...]

…I was playing Starfy!
My internet had prevented me from podcasting but I couldn’t contain the joy, so I shared it with Steve. After the break is a transcript of that said joy. Enjoy!

Animal Crossing: City Folk is out!
It’s Deja-vu the third time through! Honestly it took some strength to do this again and after seeing these ads I almost balked entirely.
That said I’m living the dream and I’m setting this thread aside for AC:CF commentary, friend codes, whatever…
So come join me and those [...]
WiiWare Piles On The Good But With Little Place To Go
Posted in Video Games, tagged nintendo, Wii, wiiware, World of Goo on October 20, 2008 | 4 Comments »
If anyone has been paying attention WiiWare has been seeing the kind of surge XBLA did early in the summer. Megaman 9, World Of Goo, Tetris Party and the Art Style games are all must plays and and the VC has some long awaited (Super Mario RPG) and some crazy (Cho Aniki?!) releases.
Of course [...]
Mother 3 In Our Mother Tongue!
Posted in Video Games, tagged nintendo, Mother 3, Fan Translation on October 17, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I’ve been waiting for this to be released for a few months now. A year ago I made a half-hearted attempt to play this in Japanese with a walk through, it didn’t take so I dreamed that this day would come. It’s easy to patch and runs smoothly on the PSP and on PC emulators. [...]
Megaman 9 is SO dated.
Posted in Now That's Entertainment!, Video Games, tagged Megaman 9, nintendo, PSN, wiiware, XBLA on September 20, 2008 | 26 Comments »
So the release dates have been announced leaving quite a conundrum for multi-console owners.
The game debuts on WiiWare this Monday the 22nd, PSN Thursday the 25th, and XBLA way in to the future timescape of October 1st.
So which one does a guy [used in a gender neutral sense] get?
WiiWare pros: It just seems right to [...]

Dr. Mario Online Mother Fuckers!

When I first moved in to the Malden, four-man Dr. Mario Battle Royales were on the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I plan to D/L as soon as I clear some more space. Let’s bring back a Malden tradition.
*UPDATE*
First off, the download is only 93 blocks which was a relief for me. There’s no [...]
Boom Blox

Since everyone has Mario Kart, and since my compatriot Mike has jumped into the fires of Final Fantasy: CC, I might as well tell you about my experiences with Boom Blox. Boom Blox? Yeh, Boom Blox.
Developed by EA, its Steve Spielberg’s first orginal game (Tiny Toon Adventures on the Snes/Nes doesn’t really count). The simple [...]
