Super Mario RPG to Hit Japanese VC Friday

By lutherjw. Saturday, 21. June 2008, 05:05:01

, , , ...

Somewhat ironically, a while back Super Mario RPG was rated/leaked by the OFLC. Since then, we've been waiting for any word on when the title will be released in North America or PAL regions. Unfortunately, we still don't have that news.

However, Nintendo of Japan announced that the game will hit their VC service this Friday, so it can't be long until it makes it way over here!

Ammo!

Interplay and the original Earthworm Jim franchise director Doug TenNapel have officially anounced that they are hard at work on Earthworm Jim 4! eh? EH!? you know what also "launches my cow"? the fact that a MOVIE is in the works! - oh and a new cartoon series. I personally don't watch tv anymore so it's a miss for me, but I DO remember that the old series was a blast!

Go ahead and freak out about the movie and two season cartoon series, but don't get your crow!s Psyched just yet. It hasn't been announced what system EWJ4 is coming to. But do think about this, Earthworm Jim 1 & 2 are both confirmed to be on their way to the Virtual Console... a clue perhaps?

Ok, really whos crow is Psyched besides mine?

p.s.
EWJ3 was not done by original owners "Shiney" or current owners "Interplay".
EWJ3 was produced horribly for N64 by Rockstar games.

RW Teusday: Ecco the Dolphin (SGEN)

By CaptainSeagull. Wednesday, 22. August 2007, 03:00:29

Every Monday Nintendo adds a few more games to their U.S. list of Virtual Console games. These games are downloadable from the Wii Shop Channel. The games come from a list consisting of the original Nintendo Entertainment System, the Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Turbo Graphix, and the Nintendo 64.

Every Tuesday N+ provides you with one "Retro Wiiview" of one game off of the list. The Retro Wiiview is designed to introduce young or new players to some of the "classics" that made gaming what it is today, while also providing a reminder to those who have already played these games, how much fun they really had. This way, whenever you want to download a new VC title, you can have at least one place to turn to see if it was good before you spend those Wii-Points. "Read More" for the review...

This weeks' game: Ecco the Dolphin
Game Price: 800 Wii points
ESRB Rating: E for Everyone

The Big Kahuna Burger...

This is what i'm talkin about! I know that the VC controller is pretty swiit but, I still dig the old SNES pad a lil more. More of you go even retro-er(?) with the NES pad. And as far as it goes when I play Snes games on the VC though, I got my good ole' HORI SNES designed CUBE controller ready! Yeah Baby! You can doo iiit!

But check this stuff out! It's like a new deadly sin of temptation I believe its only a matter of time before SEGAGEN TURBOGRAFX and N64 adapters are inroduced...

Also as a side note, I logged onto my shopping channel this morning just before work, and saw that the VC channel had an update ready! so i went into my Wii settings, and updated. Well, nothing big. I couldnt tell anything happened at all. But my first, and still best and only guess is that because it was reguarding the VC channel, the update may be to battle the people who hacked the VC channell into displaying the world wide web illegaly. It's just my hunch. Update it just to be safe!
