Brawl’s Third Delay

January 15th, 2008

The nerve of those Nintendo geniuses! This Notice appeared on the official page this morning:

First they moved it from March 30, 2007, to December 3, 2007. Then from that to February 10, 2008. And now they’ve moved it to March 9th?!?
I understand wanting to perfect the game, but this is ridiculous. How much perfecting could they possibly have done if they were original going to release it nearly a year ago? Or how crappy was it a year ago?
I think this may be an early April’s Fool Joke. The Dojo started in late May last year, and it (should) end February 10. There’s no April in there, so I thought maybe they’re doing it now…
I always joked that they’d delay it again, but… boo hoo.
With all this delaying, there’s one thing I really hope they have: Miis as playable characters. They’ve been in some games: Wii Sports, Wii Fit. And they’re gonna be in more games: Wii Fit, Wii Music. There were only two Pikmin games and yet Olimar’s in there. Uploadable Miis would be the tops.

Wii’s New Feature

January 14th, 2008

The Wii has a feature that is long overdue. You can now connect a USB keyboard into your Wii’s ports and type with it – which is what I’m doing right now. Saves time and energy!
But the Internet on the Wii still has some kinks to work out. I will suggest them here, and in the off-chance that a Nintendo Executive actually reads this pathetic little blog, I want credit!
You should be able to save, download, and upload images. Even if you save them to your main computer, I figure there’s gotta be a way… (ready for this?) Those images are saved on to the computer tower’s hardware which is hooked up to a modem which is hooked up to a router which radiates wireless internet which is picked up by the Wii. Therefore, it’s got to be possible… right?
This next one is a little less possible. You should be able to insert a CD Rom and play. It would probably take mass recalling and recalibrating and would cause Nintendo to lose millions, but hey, that’s a risk I’m willing to take.

After reading past entries in my blog, I’ve realized something… I might be slightly cynical. Also, I type “…” way too much.

Sonic in Brawl

October 10th, 2007

Well, it’s official. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is basically the greatest video game of all time. It now has two third party characters – Solid Snake, who I’m not too crazy about, and Sonic the Hedgehog, who I’m insanely crazy about. I can’t believe this! It’s the greatest news I’ve heard in a long time. So basically in this game I can play as Sonic the Hedgehog against people I’ve never met worldwide? That’s pretty much the American Dream right there.
