Currently in love with the Warioware games. You should be too.

The next Pokemon games have been announced; Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. It’s the first ever direct sequel for the series, as they’ve usually all been separate games. There’s a lot of speculation as to what to expect, a lot of it pointing to revisiting the region from the third generation of games (Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, which was set in the Hoenn region), but there’s no way of telling for now.

Bought my new(?) toy today; a Game Boy Micro. The device was discontinued in 2008 and was the last Nintendo handheld to use the Game Boy name (The Nintendo DS came out a year prior to this).
I’ve bought this in my sudden urge to play the earlier Pokemon games. While it can’t play original Game Boy games, I’ll be able to use it for the GBA titles Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald and as in the above screenshot, FireRed.
I’m pumped.

I remember when the fun addictive indie game VVVVVV was announced to be ported to the 3DS on their eShop. I was psyched that not only was a good game going handheld, but that Nintendo appeared to be embracing indie games.
America got the game late December, and I sat through the estimated January 2012 release date for Europe (And as I believe, Australia). I smiled when the release estimate on Wikipedia1 was changed to February 2012, because I’m used to things getting pushed back a little.
Now, the date has been bumped back again to March 2012. Why? It’s obviously finished because it’s been released in America. Why are we stuck waiting three months for the same fucking game?
This is bullshit, and really it doesn’t seem like there should be any fucking excuse. What gives, Nintendo?

Today the pokemon Mewtwo was made available for Pokemon Black and Pokemon White through Nintendo Wifi. Being a fan since the original games I jumped on the opportunity to own the “legendary” pokemon, and now own my very own level 70 Mewtwo.
If you play either Pokemon game, I suggest going here to see how to get your own.

This one would have to be the Nintendo 3DS. While it doesn’t have a great selection fo games yet (I’m waiting for The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time), but the technology is amazing. The ability to view a game in 3D without the need for a peripheral seemed like a gimmick, but as I see the capabilities it offers and the chance for something great, I can’t help but get excited. In the pants.
Even the camera on the system can take 3D photos, which look amazing even though the resolution is hardly anything to brag about.
The “social” aspects of the system are great as well; there’s a “game” of sorts called StreetPass on the 3DS, which works when the system is on sleep mode. When you walk in the vicinity of someone else with a 3DS, information is exchanged. You receive a visitor in the form of that person’s Mii1 on your system who can partake in some mini-games such as giving you a new piece for a puzzle you’re putting together. It’s silly, but I still get a thrill when I open up my system and find I have a new visitor.

Well that’s a one; because are we just taking into account just this generation, or all generations of gaming console. I’m going to assume all generations, because for me that is an easy one to answer; the motherfucking Playstation. Not the PS2 or PS3, but the original.
It had all the best games including the first Crash Bandicoot games (Including Crash Team Racing), the first 3 Spyro games, the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Medieval. There were hundreds of games and so many were and still are classics and great to play.
The memories I have of having a Playstation (It was chipped as well so we could play pirated games. Shhhh) are numorous. I remember playing games before I had a memory card to save games with, and having to dedicate a solid patch of time to finish a game; If I stopped playing I lost everything and had to start from the very start again. It’s amazing how things that were frustrating as a kid are now attached to a sense of nostalgia.
Not to mention, this start up screen whenever the system was booted up makes me feel completely at ease with the world.

The time I’ve been waiting for is here, the major update to the Nintendo 3DS that for some reason wasn’t packaged with it initially is now released! With it, we get access to the Internet browser, and to the Nintendo eShop, where you can purchase games and the like.
Additionally they’ve got other things like the ability to update over WiFi when in sleep mode, but I don’t care about that, I want games.
Excited by what could possible be available, I jumped on and quickly grabbed the two free things on offer; The 3D Pokedex, and the 3DS port of Excite Bike. Excite Bike is quite fun and I can see myself playing the classic a bit, and making my own levels. The only thing that could of made it better is if Nintendo had let us share our levels with other players (Not to mention multiplayer would of also been awesome.). As for the Pokedex I’m not sure when I’ll ever use that.
Looking at the other items in the store, I’m quite disappointed. Sure, I have fond memories of playing Super Mario Land on my original fat Gameboy, but do they really expect me to pay six dollars for an emulated game from twenty two years ago? Make that shit three dollars and maybe we have a deal.
Unfortunately, most things in the store are even more expensive. If I want Dr. Mario I have to fork over $7.50, which is ludicrous to me given I could use that money to buy a few games on Steam if I were careful and watched the sales.
Along with the expensive prices, there just isn’t much in the way of launch titles for the 3DS. Surely with the months between the machine’s release and the eShop’s release they could of done more, which makes this all the more disappointing. It’s like a repeat of the 3DS launch, where I bought the console only to discover the games I wanted weren’t coming out for months after. But I digress.
Thank god the store update is finally out. Now if only they could add more games, and make them cheaper. Then I’ll be happy.
