  • NBA Street – Mario, Luigi, & Peach!

    This was a game that came out for the Gamecube version back in 2005. The CGN version of NBA Street V3 featured Mario, Luigi, and Peach as guest characters. Don’t know much about it, however, since I never got to play this game. Who else knew about this?

    Other Interesting Bits of This Latest Issue

  • The Smash Service – Boring Replays?

    If you have your very own copy of Super Smash Bros. Brawl and a decent internet connection, then you pretty much know what the SMASH SERVICE is. For those who don’t, the SMASH SERVICE is a little extra feature that was added to Brawl. If turned on, this service will allow you to download content submitted by others (limited to staged, replays, and gameplay screenshots) on a daily basis.

    Well, I am here to talk about an specific niche in the Smash Service, the REPLAYS. Most (if not all) the Replays I have been getting through the S.S. (smash service) are either Target Practice or Home Run Contest records, which in my opinion, is pretty dull and boring. I like to send replays that include hilarious moments (either set-up or by mistake) and others featuring unexpected surprises. While I respect the fact that plenty of Smash Gamers are competitive, consider this: Nobody will know who achieved a lighting fast target practice score when when using the Smash Service. Its pointless and only pushes much more exciting random replays aside.

    So remember this fellow Brawlers, if you want to show off your skills, you can always go to Youtube. There is a reason why it is called the SMASH SERVICE.

  • Mario Super Sluggers – Now Available

    Believe it or not, some retailers have the much anticipated title, Mario Super Sluggers, on their shelves. The official release date for this game is August 25, 2008. Its not surprising that some stores are handing a few copies here and there before the actual launch date. If you see a friend with his own copy of Sluggers, you will most likely ask where he got it from. Sooner or later (and I presume sooner), you will go to that same retailer and get your hands on that particular game. Pretty spiffy promotion, don’t you think?

    Now, if you’ll excuse me, I got some investigating to do at my nearest Gamestop…

  • Nboards Successor

    Our previous version (which is also the current one for the moment) of Nintendo Bros message boards has proven to be obsolete both in style and maintenance. I am now working on a brand new version of Nboards for all your discussion needs. Do not click on the message board link located on the main nav-bar under the header, as it will take you to the old boards. Get started on the new forums by clicking here. The link to the new forums will be placed on the main nav-bar in the future, so stay tuned for more info.
