This is what I could guess as an Easter Egg from Nintendo. I posted this video on Youtube a while back, and I thought I’d share it with everyone here since its been getting viewed more than usual. Not many people seem to know about this, and while I couldn’t record it with a capture card, I still present you with Peach’s Easter Egg.
Here’s a fun little question, who do you like to use in Mario Kart Wii? Are you a speedster that likes to run ahead before anyone else? Do you like to jostle others? Are you item obsessed? Let everyone know who you are by showing your style! Personally, I like to push others around using Dry Bowser, but for more competitive races, I like to use Luigi or Daisy with the Classic Dragster. Most of the time, however, I like to stay in the back to barrage people with items. I also don’t like to use motorcycles too much. I have a tendency to try new methods of gameplay, and using the Wii wheel has become an absolute must. Its fun to hear what other people have to say, so share your thoughts on Mario Kart Wii!
We would also love to see pictures taken by fellow players. If you already know how to decode Brawl screenshots, then all you need to do is e-mail some images to me at josegallardo89@yahoo.com. If not, I will soon make a post on how to Decrypt Brawl data.
With the growing success of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it comes to no surprise that people all over the world are making all kinds of creative things with it. As I was browsing through youtube, I came across the user MALRWiiStation360 who uses the game to create funny videos. Here are two that are basically the intro’s to old tv shows, only done with ssb brawl
This video is one of the many awesome game synchronizations people have posted on Youtube. I came across this one when searching for miscellaneous Brawl Videos. The song is Super catchy, and it features the Classic video game of Super Mario Bros, plus other minor effect transitions that make this video truly awesome. Ya-hoo!
First off, lets talk about the the popular Xbox 360. Is it really as popular as the commercial media portrays? All I know for sure is that the 360 sports wonderful online capabilities and excellent graphics. Not too shabby for Microsoft. This just might be what gamers would call “next-gen”, but unfortunately, the Xbox 360 doesn’t provide that unique intuitive feel expected for this new millennium. The Xbox 360 only provides updated graphics and performance that any video game company, such as Sony or Nintendo, can pretty much deal with. Hopefully Microsoft feels the need to “step-it-up” and come up with something a little more unique. Just recently, I have seen motion-based peripherals for PC gaming, and surprisingly enough, one of those devices looks alot like the Wii Remote. With Microsofts’ competing power, we can expect something “Wii-like” in the future. But don’t expect any other updates. The console is as good as it gets (performance wise), so why upgrade?
Next comes the PS3. Nothing much to talk about, really, except that it boasts great graphics, and same ‘ol playing style that’s been going on for years. Sure, the PS3 has good online games, but it doesn’t necessarily focus on that category. The PS3, like the first edition of the PS2, is a large bundle itself, and could use some Wii Fit to lose some of that weight. The only thing I can think of would be a larger selection of Party games for the PS3 in order for it to appeal to a larger, more friendlier environment. I mean, seriously. I guy was shot at trying to get one of the first PS3s on release date. The PS3 is in fact, the Sexiest console around, but looks can be deceiving, starting with its price (too high to even mention here). Sony doesn’t seem to be interested in bringing intuitive gameplay in the near future, so don’t expect anything that may be called “next-gen”. Hopefully the PS3 will shift its weight from Sexy to Hot, so lets expect the console to be a little lighter in the future. Since it is expensive to a majority of people, Sony may decide to lose the Blue-Ray and reach a more average audience. Does anyone have $450 I can borrow?
Finally comes the Wii. As the number one video game Global sensation, one would think the Wii doesn’t need much of an upgrade. But like everything, it isn’t perfect. Nintendo obviously ditched the DVD ROM Drive in order to make the Wii more affordable. Good call. Besides, everyone who has a TV probably has a DVD player already. The Nintendo Wii also provides an intuitive new way of playing video games, all while preserving classic gameplay. With tons of accessories, and more games than you can shake your Wii-remote at, it couldn’t get any better than this. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), it can. Although we won’t be expecting a more intuitive video game console anytime soon, there is lots of room for improvement in the graphics department. Some great games, like Mario Kart Wii, lose all their gold when you realize you are playing on a Gamecube engine, or possibly even an older one. I honestly can’t believe the character’s appearance in this game. Nevertheless, Mario Kart Wii is grand and fun. All in all, we can expect some serious improvement with the Wii’s graphics, and from what I’ve heard/seen/read, the Wii might have its very own DVD drive sometime in the late future. Oh, and Nintendo, please send me a robust online system for Christmas. The one currently used for Wi-fi is not as good as it could get. Besides, I’ve been a very good boy…
P.S. We can also expect Wii owners to be more fit by the year 2012… Just kidding!
With the announcement of Animal Crossing: City Folk as a future Wii title for this year, let us look at the past an see the game that started it all. Of course, many of you might say the Gamecube version was the first AC game that introduced talking animal neighbors. This is in fact only “partly” true. While North America did see Animal Crossing for the first time on the GCN console, there was actually a N64 version before that, and was only released in Japan. Take a look at a bit of gameplay of Dobutsu no Mori – Animal Forest.
