It's a topic that's been discussed between friends countless times, should the The Legend of Zelda games adopt full voice acting? Of course the first couple of games were just flat out un-able to technically handle it, and then came Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask, where voice acting was technically possible, but rarely used, in fact the only games I can think of during this era in gaming that were fully voiced were Resident Evil 1 and 2, I'm not saying there weren't more, just off the top of my head.
Just like in The Twilight Princess, the new Skyward Sword also has a game-halting glitch. If you preform these certain actions you may just have to start the game completely over again!
The glitch happens if you talk to Golo the Goron twice during the Song of the Hero quest and are completing the desert area with the Thunder Dragon. It has to be preformed in a certain order, so either make sure you don't talk to Golo or just make sure you don't go see the Thunder Dragon first. If you really really wanna see the Thunder Dragon first, then familiarize your self with the exact steps you should NOT do by reading more... also make sure you have a duplicate game-save ready (just in case).
I just coined the term "SNESing", it's mine but you can use it. It means "the act of playing the Super Nintendo Entertainment System". Now, thanks to the Hyperkin "Supaboy", you can get your Snesing on in the middle of Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria - it's PERFECT for that, because it has a headphone jack, and the battery lasts for 2.5 hours. Nice little system for $80 big ones on Amazon.
Specs: * Innovative cartridge lock feature * Multi-player controller ports * Compatible with Japanese Super Famicom Cartridges * Adjustable volume control with stereo sound * Headphone jack * 2.5 Hour battery life * AV-out port means you can use as a home console * Tested compatible original hardware: Nintendo SNES controller, Nintendo Super Scope, Super Multitap, Nintendo Mario Paint Mouse
UPDATE: Looks like it's confirmed! Nintendo said (via it's Facebook Page) Xenoblade is coming to the United States as a Gamestop exclusive in April 2012, but only the United States... sorry Mexico and Canada. You may read the rest of this post, but it's all old-hat now. However if you "Read More..." you can see all the official information on the game
A strange listing found in Gamestop pre-order catalogue reads "Xenoblade Chronicles GS Exclusive" with a supposed release date of 4/3/2012, many believing "GS Exclusive" to mean Game Stop, and making this one game to only come out at the retailer, though it could also mean Game Stop has it's own exclusive bundle, like with a red controller pro (that Europe has). This rumor is spreading crazy over the interwebs, and hopefully it's true because many people are now completing Skyward Sword, and will have nothing left to look forward too on the Wii, well nothing other than the amazing television series Arrested Development revival for a fourth and final season as a Netflix exclusive... which we all know streams to Wii consoles more effectively than the competition.
One N+ moderator Dustin Wilson has written up his review of the game here on the site, and constantly claims it's probably the best game on the Wii, the guy couldn't wait to see IF North America would get it, so he ordered an import and preformed magic, yes I said magic to get the disc to play on his Wii system. Operation Rainfall I am sure is getting pretty pumped as well. Remember this fellow RPG fans... RUMOR.
Hey gamers, The United States Marine Corps. need our help for the Toys For Tots program! Not sure what this program is? well the basic idea is to be able to give new toys to children in need for the holidays.
I have to say that even though I am 25 years old, it's always a blast to get new toys, and for kids it's pretty much one of the best things ever! If you can help out that would be radical, and just think how good you will feel knowing that this year you gave to someone who really would appreciate it. You don't even have to spend big dollars either! A booster-pack of Pokemon cards, a Mario figurine, or a Zelda baseball cap are all relatively inexpensive and would make anyones day, and it doesn't have to even be video game themed, batman toys are hot this year, as well as that new rockin' rollin' Elmo!
This year the Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA) is getting on board to rally for the program, read more for the official press release and where to send your new, unwrapped toys...
Mario Kart 7 comes out on December 4th! That's only four days away, so to celebrate N+ is wearing a Mario Kart visual style this month. My design is obviously a play on the Speed Racer artwork, or マッハ Go Go Go, whichever title you prefer.
I guess there really isn't much left to explain here, oher than I tried to match this drawing up as closely to the original artwork as possible. My favorite addition to the design was also the last thing added, and was almost left out - The banana peel. In the original artwork you can clearly see Speeds' scarf flowing from his neck, and that's just something Mario doesn't have. I did the artwork without replacing this piece, and while it looked good without it, the image still felt empty. After getting everything prepared for the site, the banana peel idea hit me like a thunderbolt from Zeus! Now the work is complete!
If you want, you can check the N+ Design gallery for a wallpaper sized version of this months styling, GO MARIO GO!
The "before the end of november" 3DS update we have all been waiting for will keep us waiting until December 8th says Slash Gear. The update that is supposed to bring us 3D video recording, extra Mii Plaza puzzles & quests, a system transfer option, playable demos, and a DLC structure has been pushed back because the update is still in the last stages of "internal testing".
Well I guess it's not that bad, Mario Land 3D came out and that's been giving the hand held some much needed hands-on for many people. If you don't have it and want to know if it's something your parents are getting you for X-mas, just tell them you saved up all your allowance and are going to go buy it today! Kids, remember lying is one trick that never gets old
I made this Legend of Zelda: 25th Anniversary Symphony album art, save it, use it on your new music! read more for a custom Super Mario Bros 25th Anniversary album art...
Shigeru Miyamoto (宮本 茂) was born November 16, 1952 in Sonobe, Kyoto, Japan 59 years ago! Wahoo! Miyamoto, if somehow you don't know, is the man who pretty much shaped the true beginnings of modern video games with Donkey Kong and Mario Bros. He is like the Shakespeare of our industry I guess, it all comes back to him. Today at Nplus we want to thank Mr. Miyamoto for giving us all our favorite heroes and games, I must confess that even as a little guy playing brand new games like Super Mario World on SNES I would sit and watch the credits just to read his name! It's true!
Are you going to celebrate? how? what is your favorite Miyamoto franchise or favorite Miyamoto character?
Yeah, you heard correct! The special edition will be a Walmart exclusive sale, and on black friday you can get your very own blue Wii for $99. Dr Manhattan had to go through a hell of a lot more to get his, though fighting people at Walmart on black friday is pretty intense, you should still have an easier time acquiring one.
P.S. I'm sorry for the really outdated "we're over it already" Wii joke, but seriously when in am I ever going to get another chance at this? -source
