N +

THIS POST WILL BE UPDATED FREQUENTLY IN LIME GREEN!
CHECK OFTEN!
Everyone get ready for the 2009 Halloween Costume CoN+est! This year, we have decided to open up the rules a little bit to get more people in on the fun. Just some basic rule changes though. The biggest thing we have changed is to open this to all video game characters! I know, I know, this is a Nintendo blog, right? We just can't contain our nerdy selves when we see other nerds in video game garb. You wanna be Master Chief and compete against Waluigi and Wario? Do it, we dare you! Are you a Sackboy fan? We bet you can't go toe to toe with Infernape! Oh, and what if you don't wanna dress up, but your puppy or kitty does?! DO IT! I swear if I see a pug dressed up as a Shy-Guy, I might die crying out of laughter! Oh, and the animals are allowed to pick any game character too. However, due to the complex nature of PC and Mac related characters and what IS or IS NOT related to the "game-machine" we will not be able to accept any characters from these "consoles". As you know, we also take costumes related to machines themselves (one very close runner up dressed as a Wii-Remote, another dude dressed as an item box from Mario), so items and physical real life relations count - just not from computers. Sorry guys a USB Keyboard costume is not up for entry (however we will still show the photos ).

So yeah, all you fans who wanted to go as a Sony, Xbox, or old time Sega exclusive can enter this year, and so can your pets! Just remember this, if you enter as a team, you win as a team - no triple prizes Pikmin Team! Enter together or as rivals!

Last week, we wanted to know what other consoles you owned. It was one of the most popular polls we've ever run, so thank you for taking part! The full results can be found after the break, but it's clear that whilst you guys are clearly Nintendo fans, you do own other consoles.

It's a similar situation for us mods, and with this week's poll, it should become clear why we asked the question. We are considering expanding N+ to cover all consoles, not just Nintendo's, and we would like to hear your thoughts on this idea. We have gaming interests outside Nintendo, like a lot of you, and hopefully you'll enjoy reading about them here, as much as we would do covering them. We do realise that N+ has been a bit neglected of late, mainly due to changes in the mod's personal lives, but we hope that this will be the case no more!

In some respects this is the most important poll we've ever run, because it could affect the future of this group in a massive way.

So let your votes do some talking, and choose one of the following options. Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Would you like N+ to cover other consoles?

• Yes, I would like N+ to cover all gaming news, reviews, and previews!
  
• No, N+ has always been, and always should be, a Nintendo only group!
  

As always, votes can be cast in the sidebar on the right, and you must be a member of N+ to vote.

I'll reiterate than any comments, or justification of your vote would be very welcome!

It just feels too good to make N+ artwork anymore! I love my Wacom tablet! Anyway, this month moderator Jayvee was gonna hit you up with something, and I started next month's art, only somehow I finished it in one sitting (with lunch in-between). Me and Jayvee talked about it, and since mine is ready to post and his is about 15 minutes away and his birthday is next month... we decided to just trade, so this month I bring you "Grand Theft Auto: N+ Wars" starring our leader .ed as the games hero/villain!

For a kicky sweet wallpaper visit our gallery of N+ artwork.

N+ member Demonstro is my new favorite person ever. He made a kicky sweet Opera skin based on the Wii Internet Channel!! We here at N+ have been waiting for one of these for as long as I can remember, (we even made a post about it back in the day, I can't seem to find it, but nothing came out of it. )

I urge you all to go install this thing, it is beautiful.

Demonstro - I love you You rock.

The voting polls are closed, the contest is over - and we didn't get 1st. Thats okay though we got 2nd! We got second place with 365 Photos, of course we did, we couldn't let them beat us, and they seem pretty attached to us as well

The voting closed with:
id taking first place at 20% of the votes and 125 votes total.
While we and 365 both got 19% of the votes and 116 votes total.

Next year it's ours!

It looks like this year we have a rival who is very powerful with the force! Group 365 is battling with everyone it has to become #1 group! But we mustn't let that happen!

Join in the fight and vote for N+ as the best group, and don't forget that we also have the best blog design on Opera (every single month)!

Just look at the love their members are shouting! - We can beat that right?! Vote and tell all your friends to vote too, and tell them to tell all their friends!

From here on out I am going to call the game "Animal Crossing:Wii" because of the different names the game has across regions - But to the point, a few of us have been running into a few photo limitations within the games snapshot feature. When I first ran into it it made me think my SD card was broken or something. DON'T PANIC if you get this message when trying to save a photo to your SD Card:
There is no SD Card in the Wii. Please insert an SD Card into the Wii and try again.
For some reason certain photos cannot be saved, who knows why.

Some useful tips with photographs:

• You CAN photograph and save your friend code screen!
  
• Using the Photo Channel on the Wii you can view all the photos saved to the SD Card from AC and send them to the Wii message board, color on them and all that - no need to mail them from town hall! Try this with a photo of your friend code, and send it to your Wii buddies!
