So this month, I decided to make the banner in honor of the release of Starfox 64 3DS. However, I decided to make it more in the style of the 64 version then the 3DS version. So I drew all the N+ moderators in 64 polygon style! We are all on a mission to stop the evil Andross (*coughDustinWilsoncough*) from taking over the Lylat System!
This months banner definately took the most time out of all the banners Ive done thus far. It was also quite the learning experience! I used a program called GIMP to draw this instead of Photoshop. For the most part it did the job fine... I just didn't like how it doesn't have the same shortcuts and hotkeys that Photoshop has. But for the most part it was a good program.
The wallpaper will be uploaded shortly, but here are all the moderator Starfox Portraits!
Hello everyone! The time has arrived! Today officially starts E3 2011! And as always, N+ will have live coverage of the Nintendo Press conference! Like in years past, will have a Cover it live chat with all the N+ moderators giving you up to the minute of our coverage of whats happening and our thoughts on all the conference. Hit the jump for the CoverItLive chat!
Donkey Kong's latest prospect undoubtedly seeks to eclipse the buzz surrounding other Wii titles announced at E3 this year (although perhaps only because it is one of the last to be released this year). I've certainly heard more hype about this game than I'd expected, with even Game Informer predicting that it will drastically outperform the original. As if to add jet fuel to the inferno of anticipation that already surrounds this title, Nintendo has included the following tidbit of information in it's latest "Weekly Downloads" email circular:
GAH! February, if it was a normal month and not only 27 days long this N+ artwork would have been completed on the first - but it's not! Thankfully I was able to grind it out while I was supposed to be sleeping between work shifts. The theme is inspired by Gold and Silver from the Gameboy generation of Pokemon games, and is here to celebrate the remakes Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver that are coming out this month! This month also happens to be my birthday, so it's a pretty cool gift to get a few days before I turn 24.
As you can see in the header art, the Johto region is a really colorfully diverse area, I guess while I was playing the game I attributed it to changing seasons from summer to fall, maybe it's not the reason, but I decided to represent that here. You can see the wave of golden autumn washing over the green of summer. I have included 4 landmarks from the Johto region too, can you dorks name them all?
The official site has just updated with some details stating that a brand new Pokémon game series, perhaps a fifth generation is scheduled for release on the Nintendo DS in 2010 in Japan. Further details on this game series have yet to be announced but the site has stated that it will be an RPG and the press release hinted that new Pokémon were in it. Will this series be a brand new series or the beginning of the fifth generation? We'll bring more as and when Nintendo releases information
So if this is true, then we could have new Pokemans coming next year! What would you guys like to see improved or changed in the 5th generation games?
The new official Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth website is now live! It looks like its almost fully open too, the "Demo" link is still shaded in, but hey at least the downloads and trailers (plus more) links are ready for use!
Oh and before you start you get to choose European English "Right O!" or American English "Right On!"
This week's Tokyo Game Show has been great for fans of the Okami franchise (it's a franchise now!). Capcom has released a brand new, adorable, trailer (above) for Okamiden, the DS sequel to Okami, while a couple of media outlets have posted off-screen footage of the game in action (available after the break).
Capcom has also launched the official Japanese website for Okamiden, featuring artwork, screenshots, and video.
We at N+, like everyone else with brains, absolutely loved the original Okami, and can't wait for the sequel, so we'll be sure to keep you updated with any news we hear!
If you got platinum status then you should have gotten an email like this sent to you by Nintendo. Obviously they still haven't said what the special reward is for going gold or platinum yet.
Deep Silver has announced that their Cursed Mountain website is finally open for business. The page is scary and is feature-packed with lots of pictures, "news postings", clippings, gadgets, and what-nots (which will also make your journey through there scary but in a bad way if you have a slow connection or if three of your coworkers are simultaneously watching HD broadcasts). They even have unlockable items on the page! o_O Yup...
Just remember! The page is age-restricted! Click here to be transported into a scary Himalayan setting...
For those of us still playing Animal Crossing on the Wii, this is awesome! For those of you who haven't visited your towns in a while, stop in and check out your sweet bed-head and then log on to WiFi because today is the last day to get your Shamrock Hat! It almost slipped by!
Also in extremely related news, there is an official North American site dedicated to telling us about the DLC offer! Check it out!
N+ UPDATE:I guess this picture will automatically update when the new item is coming out! Kicky Sweet!
Grand Theft Auto: China Town Wars' official site, officially launched today. Peep it out, it looks very nice, shows off the game pretty well, a game I will get, and has some big videos up. They also let you grab this cool widget with videos in it, we posted it here to show it off:
[/IMG]Hey everyone, I hope you all had a Happy New Year! I spent mine with a big bottle of non-alcoholic wine and all my neighbors in my Animal Crossing town of Rosewood. We watched fireworks light up the sky and even popped some fireworks ourselves.
N+ gets it's monthly make-over and this month I designed our header to reflect Nintendo's Hanafuda Playing Cards! Haha! You can now get these cards via Club Nintendo in North America, or if you live anywhere else in the world, you always have ebay. I'm not sure if Japan has these cards in their Club Nintendo anymore. Anyway, a wallpaper has not been finished, but keep your eyes peeled, I am working on it - times just got a little rough this past month for me is all. As a side note, the "spade N+ logo" item is an edit of one of Nintendo's original logos during one of their early stages. It wasn't their first, but it was one of the first. Of course the "+" wasn't there, and the letter "n" was smaller (you can now find that logo on the "Master of Illusion" game box art for DS). I hope you enjoy the new theme!
Happy New Year to you all, and everyone here at N+ sincerly thanks you for your support!
Hey everyone, it was great year at N+, we had a lot of fun, a lot of games, a lot of news, and a TON of members come our way this year.
Here's looking toward 2009 with higher hopes, maybe N+ can continue to grow and get more featurific! Oh, and by the way did you know that now you can type www.NPlusNews.com into your browser and you will reach us?! Yeah, give a big thanks to LutherJW for that nice addition. Now it should be easier than ever to share our website with your friends via word of mouth
As per usual New Year's wouldn't be complete without Animal Crossing somehow making a big deal about it, so if you have Animal Crossing on the DS or Wii, get in there and visit Tortimer! There is super sweet New Year's music, and a big countdown. Have fun! What are your New Year's resolutions? Play more games? Play LESS games? Tell us in comments!
Gamers of the world, rejoice! Club Nintendo and all of its earnable goodies is finally here!
Oh, OK... So it's not for all the gamers of the world? Only US and Canada? OK... Aaaah, and not all goodies seen in Japan's Club Nintendo are available? Ooooh, but it DOES still have some goodies, right? Riiight...
So for those of us who don't live in the US/Canada (oooh, so close!) this probably isn't too big a deal, but for you lucky Northamericans, enjoy the benefits of registering your Nintendo products and acquiring good stuff with those sweet 'coins'. Enjoy the Club here!
[/IMG]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.
When you close it with a page open, then open it that page automagically opens? On the program toolbar go through: Opera > Settings > Preferences. In the "General" tab, you will see "Startup". Select how you want that to operate ;)
