N+ Review: Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games (Wii)

, , , ...

What can I say? I have been a huge fan of both Super Mario and Sonic my whole life! So when Seagull told me he had a chance to get us some copies of Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games to review, I got ecstatic! I mean, when I was little, it was a dream of mine to have my two favorite characters come together in a game. Granted, I wanted to see them in an Adventure/Platform type of game where Robotnik and Bowser team up and its up to Mario and Sonic to stop them from destroying the world. But until that day comes, we are stuck with Mario and Sonic putting up some friendly competition against each other in the Winter Olympic Games. Did SEGA improve from the last year's Summer Olympic game, or did they somehow manage to make a bad game with Mario in it? Hit the jump to find out!

RIP Captain Lou Albano

, , ,

I am saddened to report that WWE hall of fame inductee Captain Lou Albano, who is best known to gamers as playing Mario on the "Super Mario Bros. Super Show," has passed away today at the age of 76. Sad day for both wrestling and video game fans alike. :frown:

But on the bright side, now he's "Doing the Mario!" in heaven. :D


Pokemon Platinum Wifi Event: Oak's Letter

, ,

Starting today, everyone who has Pokemon Platinum can download Oak's Letter from Nintendo Wifi! This letter allows you to meet up with Professor Oak on Route 224 and capture the Event-Exclusive Shaymin! This Wifi event ends on November 8th, so don't forget!

How To:
Talk to the TV producer on the TV station third floor in Jubilife City. Normally he will ask you for a greeting for you to provide in battles however if you give him some keywords, he will activate the Mystery Gift function for you. The words are as follows:

Everyone Happy
Wi-Fi Connection


Save the game, then restart the system and Pokemon Platinum. Now, on the main menu, Mystery Gift will appear and will sport just one option at first, two if you have received a Wonder Card. You will usually choose the only option which goes to another menu that has three options and an exit; Get From Friend, Get From Wireless & Get from Wi-Fi Connection.

Choose: Get From Wi-Fi
After you have received the gift, you need to pick it up from the man in any PokéMart. Once Oaks Letter is picked up at the Pokémart, Save your game!

THEN if you want to go the extra mile you can take Shaymin to Floaroma Town to get the Gracidea Flower, this item changes Shaymin to its sky forme! It will be givin to you by a girl. Try using it on Shaymin! You can use the item over and over since it's a key Item, Shaymin will only change in Platinum, and at night, or when traded, or deposited in the PC, or when frozen she will change back to her original forme.

No More Heroes series to stick with Nintendo

,

I am sure many of you will love this story. Recently, 1-up had a interview with Goichi Suda and in the interview, they questioned the future of the No More Heroes series. They asked:

1UP: You mentioned once that No More Heroes 2 would be the last game in the series on Wii. Have you done any experiments on what it might be like on another platform, especially with the new motion controllers that have been announced for other systems?

GS: Actually, I answered differently, and it may have been misinterpreted. What I wanted to say was, looking at the Wii, I think No More Heroes 2 will probably be the last iteration for this current platform. But there's probably going to be a "Wii 2" or other next-gen system from Nintendo at some point, so I was saying that I would want to do another game in the series on the next Nintendo platform.

I want to continue the No More Heroes series, but I've finished the story for Travis. It's completely finished in No More Heroes 2. So I want to think of a different story -- a different character, or something like that within the series -- starting on the next Nintendo platform.


So Nintendo fans rejoice! It looks like NMH is sticking to just Nintendo!

September N+ Banner: Metroid Prime Trilogy

, , ,

Alright, I really wanted to make a Kingdom Hearts Banner for this month, but my Illustrator is not functioning at the moment. So I searched through my files and found an old drawing I did for Metroid Prime when it first came out. So I decided to use that picture and Photoshop it up to create the banner you see above! Wallpaper will be coming soon! All in all I think it turned out well after the Seagull's magic touch!

So I encourage all to go out and purchase Metroid Prime Trilogy!

Its been a while since I posted, so its time to get back on track! Here is all the new info on from the last couple weeks for Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver, direct from Serebii.net:

* First, it confirms that the Apricorns come back. The apricorns a're stored in an item called the Apricorn Case. This means the following balls have returned, for reference here are their use:

o Moon Ball: Captures Pokémon that evolve with the Moon Stone easier

* In addition, this time, you have the ability to grow berries yourself portabley within an item called the Berry Planter, using the SquirtBottle to grow them and
* Next, it reiterates Kanto's return in Heart Gold & Soul Silver and also shows there is a new Battle Frontier style facility to the west of Olivine City. Further details about this Battle Frontier have not been revealed
* It also confirms the National Park's Bug Catching Contest making a return. This contest features you having to capture the best Bug Pokémon you can.
* It also shows that Rayquaza is catchable later in the game at Level 50. Further details were not revealed but as revealed in June, it will require Kyogre & Groudon for it to appear
* It also shows that you have the Mystery Egg subquest from Gold & Silver. It is unknown if the Egg you receive will still be Togepi
* Finally, it confirms that the new area west of Cianwood City is a Safari Zone.
* Kyogre & Groudon both dwell in a cave like Rayquaza and like Rayquaza, they are to be found at Level 50
* Apricorns have another use. As well as making the new PokéBalls, you can convert them into juice in order to boost your Pokémon's Pokéthlon stats
* Three new Pokéthlon events have been revealed

o Break Block which has your Pokémon breaking blocks using their hand. This is controlled with the Touch Screen
o Change Relay, another race controlled on the Touch Screen. However, unlike Dash Hurdle, you only control one Pokémon at a time
o Push Circle is another match similar to RingOut Fight. However, you control all your Pokémon at once

* It also shows that you can customise the areas within the Safari Zone. Moving areas for quicker access should you need it to allow for easy access to areas if you're looking for certain Pokémon.

New TMNT Smash up Trailer

This new trailer confirms some new characters. Casey Jones FTW!

The Conduit is now out!

, ,

First off, I would like to apologize for the lack of updates on my part. It has been a rough couple of weeks for me... from my birthday to my uncle dying to one of my friends having surgery. But hopefully things will only go up hill from here!

But today I was birthday shopping for my sisters boyfriend and guess what I found? A copy of The Conduit! I went to Target, Wal-Mart, Gamestop, and my work (Sam's Club) and they were all sold out! I finally found a copy (their last one BTW) at Best Buy. Apparently, this game is pretty big! It reached the Top 20 at Amazon and is sold out at Walmart.com!

I have put a good hour into it, and it is AWESOME! If you haven't picked up your copy yet, I would strongly suggest that you do so!

If you have picked it up, what do you think of the game so far? We would love to hear your thoughts on the game in the comments!
