-Their theme: “We promise to keep the world smiling”
-Shaun White shows off Shaun White’s Snowboarding with the Balance Board; said it feels much like actually riding a board.

TAGTIST 071408

July 14, 2008

E3 Update: Just before the Microsoft press conference, Nitendo announced the upcoming Wii MotionPlus attachment for their current Wii controllers.  Nintendo stated these plug-ins will allow more accurate motion and movement detecting.  More news about this, and all things Nintendo - including their fall game line up- should be announced tomorrow at their own E3 [...]

Game On: Mario Kart Wii

April 29, 2008

Simply said: Mario Kart is back.
At first I had my doubts, but this game is everything Mario Kart is supposed to be and more. It has great - no amazing - new tracks (Bowser’s Castle…oh yeah. Maple Tree and Koopa Cape….holy crap. Friggin Galaxy Star Road….holy jeebus). It also, in a [...]

Nintendo Codes: Updated with Brawl and Mario Kart

April 27, 2008

I’m reposting my Nintendo friend codes with updates.  Please feel free to add me, you can let me know to add you in return by posting a comment here or try to reach my AIM which still is “Shuanfu”. I should add anyone who doesn’t seem stalker-rific. Maybe we can share friend codes to help [...]

Game On: Okami

April 21, 2008

Over a year ago, Okami was a game I loved to hate: IGN had picked it over Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess as their game of the year.  At first I wasn’t quit sure what to make of this: a cell shaded game that every reviewer says is basically Zelda without Zelda picked as GOTY [...]

There’s just nothing going on…

March 25, 2008

It could be that work is getting busy again-which always makes me restless-but doesn’t it seem like there is absolutely nothing going on these days? No stand out new movies, no really good TV, just….meh. Outside of gaming and work, as well as a few comics here and there there really isn’t much [...]

Game On: No More Heroes Update & Countdown to the Brawl

February 9, 2008

I finally got to finish No More Heroes this afternoon and I can easily say that it has been one of the most satisfying overall gaming experiences I’ve had in awhile.  I mean, how can a game that starts like this be bad?

It’s not the same kind of experience of being taken on an [...]

Game On: No More Heroes in my Days of Ruin in the Endless Ocean

January 26, 2008

Obviously, I’m getting better at combining the titles….
Lot’s of goodness came out this week, so let’s take ‘em out one at a time:

I’ve been a fan of the Advance Wars series since the first Americanized game was released on the GBA. AW: Dual Strike was one of the first games I bought for the [...]

My Nintendo Friend Codes

January 23, 2008

aka “The Ultimate Geek Post” or “The Desperate Search for Friends: Part 6″.
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, you just gotta live with Nintendo Friend Codes. While I’ve got a few hear and there, I feel like I need more to truly experience the full potential of the many Wi-Fi games I own. Plus, [...]
