  • DQMBV Intro Videos

    I ripped the opening videos of Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road: Victory. I will try and make the rest of the media, like the finishers and SP attacks. Enjoy.

  • Yahoo! Japan Auction – Smile Slime Plush

    スマイルスライム　ぬいぐるみ　スライムタワー

    That is the header for the auction, but its really a Slime Stack. If you are into Dragon Quest and Japan Auctions, this one’s for you. You need a Yahoo! Japan ID though, or a middleman service like Rinkya. I have a personal middleman for this, but I am already spending my cash on Ebay this time around. Bidding started at 1000 Yen (about 12 dollars). Its a great deal, but I must warn that middleman services charge quite a bit for handling charges. These services are required because most Yahoo! Japan sellers do not ship internationally. So yeah, happy bidding!

  • Happy New Year + Texture Update

    Brawl Mario & Luigi With Power Ups

    Here is a long awaited texture post. Couldn’t upload since I’ve had no internet for nearly a year and I still don’t, but was able to visit my dad this new year’s and use his internet. Its the promised Brawl versions of Mario and Luigi with the Ice and Fire also Brawl style. There are no tweaks or updates to the textures, so they are the same as when I started on them a couple of months back, and given the video scaling, making them any better is practically unnoticeable, so no need to make them super-duper compulsively detailed. Sorry I can’t take screen caps, I don’t have my gear or Wii with me at the moment. I even uploaded the textures as ARC files instead of patches for easy replacement (and the fact that I don’t have my game to rip the original files required for patches). I’ll soon post the rest of the NSMBWii texture hacks, since they are ARC ready. I will also be creating some new ones, but those will probably be posted once I get my own ISP, which would hopefully be in 2-3 months, as I will be moving again. Hope everyone had a great new year’s!

  • Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road Victory

    Is what I am currently playing.

    It has been released in Japan for a couple of months now (since July, 2010, I believe), and no announced release date for the US. If you are a fan of Dragon Quest games, you are going to love this one. Its like having all Links from every Zelda game join up to fight each others bosses, except its Dragon Quest Heroes, and there are 9 of them. Its a mix-up of card battling and action-based gameplay, with cards determining your weapons, armor, specials, and team members. I’ll be posting gameplay videos so you guys can see some more of this awesome game, and possibly post my progress. You can buy DQMBV on Play-Asia, but you will need Homebrew to play imports on your native US Wii, and be a bit Japanese savvy to fully enjoy this game. Let’s hope it gets a US localization.
