Super paper done. what now?

Just beat Super Paper Mario for the wii and it ends with a sweet if not corny way. Now the Wii will go dark until somebody releases something Im interested in playing for it. Of course Nintendo has things coming but the third party stuff is just kind of subpar so far don’t you think?

Picked up The Fountain and Pan’s Labrything on DVD today both of which I highly recommend.

Why i love my 360… LIVE ARCADE!


O.k. when I got my Wii I was so excited for the new way to play and Zelda was freaking fantastic. I broke down a while later and got a 360 for all the fancy graphics and larger style games. Guess what? I’ve only been playing the old games availble through the download service Live Arcade. And it is Awesome. Playing TMNT arcade again with four other people is great. Playing a bout of worms for world domination? Great. Playing UNO. Werid but great.
And this wenesday MS is giving us a free sidescrolling 2-d shooter Aegis Wing that up to four people can play at once. Im in love with a service and its LIve Arcade. It’s sad because as much promise as the Wii’s Virtual COnsole had/has the lack of online really is killing some of the multiplayer classics.

Is the Wii to become the home for light gun games?


Sega announced today that they are bringing their arcade light gun Ghost Squad game to the Wii. Makes sense. With the Wii controller all you have to do is point and shoot, much like those old arcade games. Anyone want to wager we will see a nintendo zapper before too long? I mean Duck Hunt is still one of the most requested virtual console games. House of the Dead would play better on the wii than any of it’s previous home conversions. I could pony up money for some Zombie killing fun. Bring on Time Crisis, Operation Wolf and err Hogan’s Alley. I’m sold.

SUPPPEEERRR PAAAPPPPER!!!


I managed to snag a copy of Super Paper Mario for the wii yesterday at a big box retailer who chose to break the street date. It’s my first Wii purchase since launch and so far I’m enjoying it. The puzzles are pretty good but I wonder how long ill be interested in the the long text breaks. It does have some rpg elements which is nice and the whole ecth a sketch look is amazing. After playing Gears of War for the past couple weeks, all those bright crayola nintendo colors are a sight for my eyes.
I’ve decided to pass on seeing Grindhouse at the cinema. I’ll rent them instead and not have to worry about drinking to much coke during the three hour marathon.
Aqua Teen is confirmed for our local small theatre on Friday. I will be there friday evening! Because, you know, Meatwad on the big screen.

kid icarus comes to the vc!!!!


Today Kid Icarus comes out for the Virtual Console. for five bucks i can rebuy one of the best games from the nes era. You have to wonder if nintendo is tracking the sales of this guy because he’s now in smash bros and they could be planning a very awesome remake of this wonderful game. Seriously if you have a wii, and you got five bucks. What are you waiting for? Medusa awaits.

Wii Lan Adaptor Arrives.

So I got my lan adaptor for the Wii last night, finally got my updates, (which allow sd cards to be used). The Weather channel is pretty neat, but not something i’ll probably ever use. I can see how this would sell the system to someone like my dad though. I pretty much just like spinning the earth around. The internet channel is o.k. but why would I want to be on the internet without a keyboard? I probably won’t download the full version when it’s released later this month. The Virtual Console is where all the fun is, and I downloaded Super Mario Bros for my first game. What a classic and now stored directly on my Wii front page. I’m going to have to limit myself but so many of those TurboGraphics games are very tempting since I have never owned Hudson’s 16 bit powerhouse. Bonk’s headbutts are calling. Well at least now I can get excited over Virtual Console monday’s.

inital holiday game impressions

we had our christmas today and i racked up on the wii games.
initial quick impressions

marvel ultimate alliance. a comic geeks dream. my team right now. capt america, moon knight, spiderman, and maybe iron man.

tony hawk downhill jam. feels rushed, tracks are pretty quick and then your done. no sense of urgency. will probably beat pretty quickly.

rayman raving rabbids. the best game for me and jess to play together. its got alot of charm, and will probably keep us sharing the controller more than anything else.

also got jess trauma center for the wii and elite beat agents for the ds.
trauma center oozes style, looks pretty good and elite beat agents looks like its going be jess’s favorite in a while.

Pretty great wii-load and then theres all the other stuff we gave each other. so much fun. how will i get anything done?
