Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I have taken some of the photos I took in Animal Crossing and cut em to perfect size to use as MyOpera avatars! As everyone should be able to guess, the avatar I am using is actually my character from the game, I designed a Star Trek shirt, blue style (science) and cut my hair like Spock . The new movie is totally rad. I also got my character to look angry in the picture.
I compiled a Avatars.zip file for you all to download that has some characters ready to go, none of them are me don't worry, they are all villiagers I wanna see more than just Animal Crossing though! Nplussers, I challenge you all to come up with the coolest Nintendo avatars!
Get your blood ready, kids! Pharmaceutical giant, Bayer, has come up with Didget, a new DS gadget that will not only serve as a glucose meter, but also as a gaming peripheral that will allow kids to earn in-game rewards and unlock new levels by getting regularly tested.
The game/peripheral claims to have a fast response analysis, up to 480 samples memory, small blood sample size, and standard glucose info (mostly for parents and doctors to interpret).
So get those fingers ready to get pinched and tested!
Yep, that's me with my brand new Hotdog Hat! And yes, that is a dog eyeing it down... It's the current downloadable content item for the Animal Crossing on Wii (July 4th - July 18th). I guess since it's a North American distribution that makes it only for City Folk, and not Lets Go to the City players
Oh well! If your North American friend has the hat, they can order you another one from Nooks! haha! YES! Anyway read more... for the details to get the letter from Nintendo with the hat included as a present.
Did you like No More Heroes, one of the 'hardcore' pioneers on the Wii? Are you desperately struggling to keep yourself together until No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle comes out? Well, we hope you really enjoy Suda's second installment on the series, for it is the last one to show up on Wii. Ever.
According to an IGN interview, Goichi Suda has made it quite clear that he has every intention of making the No More Heroes franchise a big one... he just has no intention on doing so on the Wii.
I really want to make NMH big franchise, and with this second episode have bigger success. I'm putting a lot of care into developing this IP, as I feel there's a lot of potential. I think this is the last NMH that is going to be developed on Wii. To expand NMH to new possibilities, we need a new platform. Wii is a great platform, but we've done everything we can with it now- Goichi Suda
A new survey has been put up over at club.nintendo.com, and it's an "intend to buy" survey for Wii Sports Resort. This means that you can take the survey BEFORE you buy the game; it does not mean, however, that you automatically get points for it...
How Intend to Buy Works
Help us gauge interest in upcoming Nintendo-published games! Four weeks before a game launches, the option to register your intent to buy it will appear here. Let us know you intend to buy the game and take a short survey. When the game launches, buy it, register it, and complete the registration survey and you'll earn 10 extra Coins! Remember - you must indicate your intent to buy within the Intend to Buy date range listed for each game to be eligible for the extra Coins.
So if you plan on getting the game, you might as well get those 10 extra coins! Oh, and this is a north american thing; sorry other regions. And just as a side note - I already am a Gold member again
New video footage direct from Japan Expo. Sit tight and look for the special character near the end! Read more for detailed info on the game. As a side note, there is suspicion of a RE3 remake for Wii. I just e-mailed Capcom about it; stay tuned for the reply when that happens.
It's the Beastie Beastie Beastie Beastie Bros gettin' live on the spot, puttin' all kinds of shame in the game you got! So this month's design reflects absolutely no particular game release, it just celebrates the Mario Brothers, and is a sneaky way to get another passion of mine into the scene, The Beastie Boys! They've got a new album coming out called "The Hot Sauce Committee", and they are touring in Europe (and hopefully North America) for it, so I am pumped!
When the best (three) MC's (and one DJ) in Hip-Hop mash up with the best brothers in gaming you get the Beastie Bros. I have this insanely over-sized poster in my bedroom of, from left to right, "AdRock" "MCA" and "Mike D". The poster is related to the record "Licensed To Ill" - however I cannot find it anywhere on the net! I think I may have a super collectible here. Anyway I hope you dig the new look, it's doubly fun for me this month. We of course have a Beastie Bros Wallpaper for you. It was a very difficult decision whether or not to go black and white to stick with the original source poster, but I decided for it. The original design was in color!
If you want Read More... for a most ill music mash-up!
If you got platinum status then you should have gotten an email like this sent to you by Nintendo. Obviously they still haven't said what the special reward is for going gold or platinum yet.
The tennis season is in full swing, and those unable (or, as in my case, not fit enough) to get out and hit a few balls around, can turn to their consoles for their tennis fix. Virtua Tennis 2009 is the latest iteration of the arcade classic to hit home consoles, and the Wii version takes full advantage of Nintendo's new MotionPlus feature. The prospect of 1:1 responsive gameplay and playing with Ana Ivanovic was more than enough reason for N+ to see what VT2009 can serve up.
I'm not posting them here because, well, these codes supposedly shouldn't be wandering around online (yeah, right!). The thing is, if you already own The Conduit and you didn't pre-order it, you noticed the three unlockable codes to be input into the game's extras and felt left out.
One of them unlocks a special edition ASE (announced as the GameStop pre-order bonus). A second code unlocks the ability to play as a suited Trust agent in the multi-player mode. A third one would unlock a Drone 'skin' for the single player campaign, allowing you to play as a Drone, whilst not affecting gameplay (that means you don't get special powers, just the ugly skin).
However, the third code was supposed to be launched with the pre-orders in Europe, and as you might remember, the game was pushed back on that region. So, the third code is still not officially released. But that hasn't kept Nintendo World Report from uncovering the 'secret' code and releasing it, alongside the other two which have been widely available throughout the Net by now.
Click here if you want the codes. Remember, they ARE case sensitive!
Why is a PirateBay note on N+? What does it have to do with Nintendo, you ask? Well, so far, nothing. But it is what it COULD mean for Nintendo that matters. Controversial (and usually illicit) site, The PirateBay, has left the dark side and gone legit.
That's right. It will now start to pay royalties over to copyright owners of all content downloaded through their site. How is this possible? Because it was bought for USD$7.8M by Global Gaming Factory, an Internet Café and Gaming mega company. The key word here is GAMING.
The new owner is planning to use the site's popularity and installed 'technology' to propose a new business model where all parties involved make a legit profit, including game distribution. In case you don't remember or didn't read it, we were recently discussing why the new iPhone, along with digital distribution, might be Nintendo's downfall. And now this comes to prove digital distros ARE the next big thing to come. Do you think Ninty needs and/or will get on this wagon?
The gaming industry was abuzz at this year's E3, with news of Microsoft's Project Natal and its promise to deliver gaming without having to touch a controller. Just two weeks after E3, though, Sega and developer Prope beat Microsoft to the punch with the release of Let's Tap, an innovative Wii game controlled entirely by tapping one's fingers. An interesting idea, to be sure, but how does it play? Read on to find out.
Altough Nintendo has been blatant in denying the iPhone as a true competitor, they might want to learn from Sony's own experience (to this day, Sony's execs still don't see the Wii as their competition... yeah, right... 2-to-1 sales are not competition, guys...whatever gets you through the night ).
In an interview by TechRadar with one of Exient's developers and iPhone coder extraordinaire, Dean Belotti, it is made clear that the new iPhone 3GS's graphics chip is capable of delivering graphics that are on-par with the PSP and are, obviously, way better than Nintendo DS's.
Now, don't get me wrong. I love my DS; I do admit that the kind of games that appeal to me are the ones aimed at 10-year-olds, but still, I can't help feeling sad the graphical power of Nintendo's consoles are subpar to today's high-def cravings.
Now that the iPhone is closing in the handheld market with better graphics, wireless multiplayer, touch controls, and a plethora of apps to enjoy in-device, do you think Nintendo is in for a rough time with the DSi? I think they are.
I don't know about you, but I think those alien tentacles are soooo in for a sexual harassment lawsuit... This is what the box will look like on the shelves once the game comes out.
Screaming chick, annoyed dude (more than glad to let those fangy, alien tentacles finally shut her up), and a triple-laser gun. They should have added some rails on it... (Oh, snap!)
I+ is a group for those that are interested in, developing and curious about discussing independent media such as games, music, movies, literature, and everything else in between.
. The new movie is totally rad. I also got my character to look angry in the picture.
