Ask Dr. Wario : Episode 1

, , , ...

If you guys aren't already familiar with Ask Dr. Wario (if not familiar with good Doctar, you should CATCH UP), I figured I'd give it the whole ONLINE VIDYA thing a shot:

Awful? Awesome? Downright sexy? If y'all want more, I'm planning on doing audio versions of popular questions from the text-and-picture-based-Blog-Comic-Q&A-forum Format. Perhaps you Nplussers can vote on which question I should do as my first audio question...

2008 Costume CoN+est Wins Happen.

, , , ...

I had to tear myself away from teaching mutated animals naughty phrases in Animal Crossing: City Folk (I seriously have AN ORANGE with CAT EARS living in my town) to post our 2008 Costume CoN+est winners.

While we didn't have as many entrants as last year, the quality was top shelf. Check em out in the 2008 Costume CoN+est Album.

2000 Wii Points goes to Zenyou with an adorable and impeccably detailed Infernape from Pokemon Diamond!

2nd and 3rd place were going to get 1500 and 500 Wii Points respectively, but as of this writing both CaptainSeagull and Jayvee's Waluigi and Wario costumes (right down to the shoes) were in a dead heat, so they're each gonna get 1000 Wii Points each.

...buuuutt, since I like em both so much, I'm gonna throw in some extra. Both get 1500 Wii Points each instead. :hat: Wario greed happen.

If you still feel like voting for something, check out the 2008 My Opera Awards where you can vote for N+ as Best Group right here. N+ totally won Best Group on My Opera in 2007 thanks to your votes.

N+ Review: Wario World (GameCube)

, , , ...



Wario Land: Shake It! I can't stop thinking about it. This has turned me into a Wario fanatic--looking for any game with Wario written on it to satiate my garlic chomping urges. Wario is my main in Super Smash Bros. Brawl (everyone fears DA CLAP), Mario Kart Wii, and all the other Mario spin-offs. But I needed MORE. I've beaten nearly every WarioWare to 100%--it's still not enough. Then lo and behold, sitting on the shelves of my local Video Entertainment Facility, Wario World for the Nintendo Gamecube called out to me. It said, "HAVE A ROTTEN DAY, Nyah-HEH-HEH!"

I had to have this game.

"Gamekeep! How much of your Earth moneys will it take to acquire this game?!" Alas! The Wario World was a rental copy. In denial, I threw a wad of money at the guy's face and ran off with the game. I later had to return to get the security lock removed. When the game came out in 2003, I was a bit hesitant because all of the reviewers trashed it for being so short. Fifty bucks for what was exaggerated to be a five hour game doesn't seem like my cup of tea. Because it's a video game and not a cup of tea--Short story long: I passed. Well, now that Wario World generally retails for 14.99 at most used game emporiums, shortness is no longer an issue. So, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you a review on Wario World. Click past the break to give it a read. Otherwise, you can "Get outta here, you losars! Nyeaaagh!"

Blown Away

, ,

When Cap'n and I discussed the headers for August and September we thought of kawaiipikachu and that he wanted more cuteness in N+. We delivered on that for August, but for September we've gone even further. We've made the cutest header of lutherjw's mom Wario... cute if you're sick in the head. This new header comes complete with a new layout for N+ as well. This part of the September surprise (wtf? It's only August!) was only known to a few of the mods. It's been kept a secret even from the majority of the mods here.

The design is intended to properly separate the content from the sidebar, something the previous layout didn't do too good of a job of. Everything's been styled, even the forums. The layout's been tested, but like everything else there could be problems here and there. I'll fix them as I find 'em.

The header came from an idea I've had for a while, and when drawing it I thought it'd be excellent to do it like those Bill Wray Ren & Stimpy closeups where you'd see the most gross things imaginable. Well, I hope I've made him completely gross. I'm sure the enormous fart cloud would be enough for that.

Like all of our headers the original image used to create the header graphic is viewable by everyone in our Photos section.

NoA Announces Second Half Lineup

, , , ...

...Woah. Out of nowhere, Nintendo of America put out a press release detailing their lineup for the second half of 2008, a month before E3. So what do we get? How's a new 2D Wario Land sound as a new Wii game? A new Kirby game on the DS? A new Mario baseball game on the Wii? We get all that and more before the year's end.

Wario Land: Shake It! is a brand new Wario side-scroller on the Wii, launching on September 29. With the Wii remote held sideways like an NES pad, you can run through brand new stages, collect coins, and defeat enemies - all with new motion sensitive controls.

Also launching on September 29th, Kirby Super Star™ Ultra for the DS is a remake of the classic SNES title. Featuring new graphics, animated cut-scenes, and new touch controls, Kirby's latest outing on the DS is sure to be a fun one.

Mystery Case Files™: MillionHeir™, an interactive detective story with touch controls and microphone input, launches on the DS on September 8th.

Finally, Mario™ Super Sluggers hits the Wii on August 25th. With more than thirty new playable characters, brand new stadiums, and Wii specific controls, Mario Super Sluggers looks to be a great new installment in the Mario sports series, as well as a great baseball game on Wii. Although, it would be a lot better with online play...

Check after the break for the full press release, as well as screenshots of each of these games.

Smash Bros: Update 6

, , , ...


We don't have as much, or as potent of news as we did last time, but if you are interested in the game, even just a tiny bit, then this Smash Bros update is still worth checking out. We got a new character, and two characters' "Final Smash" attacks direct from the Official Website.
