  • 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.

  • The Time Has Come to Bid Farewell…

    Well, almost. Not exactly a final good-bye, but my life does require a change of path.

    Quoted my own post from the Rvlution Forums:

    Just posting here saying I will have to drop my Texture hack contribution to the Newer team. I haven’t had internet since February, and College/University is coming up. I’ve reached a peak where time is of essence, and won’t be able to dedicate time to hacking anything anymore. Sorry about this, but I will still be releasing my work on my blog. I do not know when I will have yet more spare time to post my stuff up, hence why I will upload whenever I can. I am no longer active in the Wii Hacking scene, but will post anything on my blog if I decide to work on something again. Farewell.

    Tired of those cheap, saturated outfits that Mario and Luigi wear in NSMBWii? I was. Now you can ditch those kiddy-colored shirt & overalls for something more Manly. Not really, but yeah…
