MAME on Handheld!

Get this!

MAME is going to bring their emulator to the handheld! plus... it has great graphics, a perfectly portable design, and a full version of MAME.

It sounds great!

All of us fellow gamers know MAME of course, now we get great playability and a wonderful console.

MAME-lovers can play to their heart's content with this beautiful set, and, like i said before, it's no scam, you get all the MAME games.

Being a MAME lover myself, I consider this a great deal.

Come at me portable MAME!!!

Mario Teleport

Someone has come up with a revolutionary concept for Nintendo's 'Super Mario Bros'.

The idea is Mario will go through a series of obstacles and, surprisingly, "TELEPORT" through walls and make enemies do the same.

It's a whole new way of playing Mario -  you shoot a teleport ray at walls and objects, then you can walk through them with ease.

It's an ingenious idea, though Nintendo has nothing to do with it.

This idea would be extravagant for a handheld console and letting Nintendo go forward with the concept could start a whole new generation of Mario games.

Just think how cool it would be if 'Super Mario Galaxy' had teleporting ability... all the new possibilities that could be unlocked... so much excitement could be released.

Better yet, it could be on the 3DS!!!

3DS review update

After observing certain functionalities and using the 3DS console for an additional day, i will continue my review.

This system is great, but before you go to the store to buy it, i suggest you either try it out at the nintendo shop, or at a friend's house.  Even at the new, lower price, the 3DS is a substantial investment for what it is.

 All in all, the 3DS is great, but if you are undecided, you may as well wait for the second version ( it is expected to come out around the christmas holidays).

There are some other important problems that i will explain.

First of all, I want to note that the gameplay, when on 3D, can get uncomfortable. This is because you need to have your eyes centered at the middle of the screen when playing with that effect. Games where you need to move and be active, especially do not work well with 3D. Luckily, you can turn off the 3D simply by pulling down the bar at the bottom right of the screen.

Another problem is that the graphics don't look so pure after you turn off the 3D effect. If you want to enjoy the console without 3D, it can alter gameplay effect and lower enjoyment of the game itself.

I'm going to make another problem clear. The 3DS DOES look beautiful, but it smudges so easily, that even when you use the stylus(pen), the screen can be dirtied. To prevent excess smudging, you should touch the screen lightly with the stylus and never touch either of the two screens with your fingers. Washing your hands helps too.

The 3DS is very delicate, so be sure to treat it gently.

3DS Reveiw!

The 3DS is a great system with liquid controls, beautiful graphics, and a sleek finish.

Yet, the 3DS lacks some minor and major capability.

First of all, the camera lacks stability and takes crummy pictures.

Next, Street-pass was a little bit of a miss-aim because there aren't enough people yet with a 3DS.
Yes, the concept is ingenious but it's very hard to gain anything by having it.

The design is beautiful, but i'm concerned by some reviews claiming the hinge and various other parts of the console can become defective and wobbly.

PS: I'm so sorry that i haven't been posting lately. Last week I was on a trip.

Sonic Four Episode Two Coming in 2012!!!

Not to be crazy over it, but if you’ve been waiting for more Sonic the Hedgehog, here it comes.

Anyway, we all know that Sega has gone to the dumper, striving for any last bit of hope with their most famous character.

This new episode, though, could bring it back from the grave.

Who knows what will happen with this one - it could be good or bad… but we know it’s a new sonic.

The sad thing is that there are a lot of critics saying it’s boring or repetitive.

So many people who haven’t played it enough, think of it as a Mario-like game, but NO… it’s a whole different ballgame.

If this is what you thought, well, sorry to burst your bubble but you should play both a lot more before you decide.

What keeps Sega going is Nintendo - Sega literally runs on Nintendo.

Sega strives to produce decent games for Nintendo game consoles and can keep going well enough.

It was nice at its peak though.

Mario Stop Motion Tutorial

Social Gaming Values Skyrocket!!!

At the moment, you can literally make billions over night by making social games for Facebook.

Many older games are turning themselves over to social networking. Many companies are having a very easy time due to the sheer amount of Facebook users. It's not very hard to get rich making a game for social use.

Just think about all the games that are doing it now -  pocket god, call of duty, and more!

Every company is on a rush to make a run for big money on Facebook -  it's as easy as snapping your fingers!

Nintendo Releases New WII

Nintendo has released a new wii called the family wii and indicated that there are no plans to release it in America yet.

Sadly, the new wii does not support gamecube games and controllers, so if that's what you've been running on, you're out of luck.

What's new about this wii?

It lays flat (rather then upright like the older model), it is smaller, and like i said before, it does not support gamecube games or controllers.

It's supposed to be more portable than the old wii, so you can take it on trips and hook it up to any TV.

Since it's not in America, not many Americans know the whereabouts of it and nobody knows when it will be released in America.

There's actually not much reason to buy it. The older wii was better, it had the same capabilities and more, so in fact it's really not a big deal.

Nintendo made this new wii to compete with Sony's portable playstation.

Start of Nintendo's Downfall?!

Nintendo considered the idea of working with Apple and as it seemed "too good to be true"...it was.

Nintendo is suspected to be in decline - personally, I disagree.   With the 3DS that people had been waiting for, many people said it was flop or that it wasn't what they expected, but there's a lot going against that.

Back when the gamecube was made, people weren't pleased and said THAT would end Nintendo.  So yet again, we see the same effects and it probably will be the same.

Back to the Apple-and-Nintendo team-up idea.

We now understand that Nintendo not teaming up with Apple contributed to the latest downfall of Nintendo.

People had been waiting for a long time for there to be Mario and other Nintendo games on IOS, yet it never happened, thus leading partially to the decline.

Prices have been lowered on some Nintendo game consoles and games. More and more games dropped price and lost Nintendo customers, also leading to it's decline.

Also, due to poor game quality, fans have been lost and sales have gone down. Nintendo still thrives.

Sony Soon to Release the Playstation Vita!

It is said that they will not release it to the US and Europe until early 2012.

It's probably because older versions of the playstation didn't sell well in Europe and the US, yet, in other countries it got better sales.

Ratings from Europe and the US say the playstation did not play well and the controller was too small.

Sony is obviously doing it for the best of their company, yet it seems like a strange strategy to leave out certain countries due to low sales.  You would still gain money from doing it - there's not much to lose.

Nintendo's "Massively Single Player" Game Concept Truly Inspirational!!!

You play through the game, wrecking buildings, killing creatures, and changing the game world.

When the next player plays through, they will see all the changes, and they will effect them in different ways, then, they will change the world as THEY play through, then the next player will do the same and it go's on in an infinite cycle.

This game is considered a massively SINGLE-player game, yet it's got that special multi-player aspect.

This is a strange and intricate game that any great gamer will most likely love, leave it to Nintendo to create an idea that has never been thought of before! we all love Nintendo don't we!!! :D

3DS prices cut by 40%!

Everybody better jump on it now! I sure know I am! due to low sales, Nintendo cuts the price of 3DS by 40%. it's amazing. $170 for the 3DS on Amazon pick your color!

Angry Birds Movie!

Our favorite birds are back!!!

An angry birds movie is suspected to come out in 2014!

Rovio has hired a former Marvel director to help set a guideline for the movie.

They believe that angry birds has enough story-like aspects to build real character in the birds.

Surprisingly, it's proposed that it will be an ongoing series.

It's quite amazing really, I remember when it first started, it was a small pig-smashing app, in between each world was a small video, they even had a TV show-like youtube video for it which was considerably longer and was more of a story.

The movie idea grew from the small clips that became quite popular over time, which led them to the thought of the movie.

Gamer Snob makes bad decision!

Well, we all have an opinion for gaming right?  Well there are places where you have to draw the line.

Back in 1998 a peculiar gamer stated an opinion on gaming that would exasperate any gamer of the modern age.

He had a long list of things that make a gamer a gamer, his list was completely ridiculous, and ruled out all gamers but himself.

If you read his list you’ll see.

To add to that he said that a game is not a game if it is not controlled by a joystick, and, it must be a game in which you shoot something (preferably aliens).

I think it was quite intriguing how he listed the things that a gamer could not do.

I don’t think there’s anyone else out there that has the same opinion as him.

Game Sales Drop Huge!!!

Is it stocks?! Is it the economy?! Is it the downgrade?! It's been reported that video game sales have plunged. Some analysts suspect that it’s due to booming sales earlier in the year. Well I think the cycle is too repetitive, I believe that people are getting bored of this constant outflow of video games for the same machines, they just don’t want to play on the PS3, Xbox 360, or wii anymore. I do think that game sales will rise in a huge way when the 3DS gets into its peak, but who knows what will happen after that, the economy must have to do with part of it at least, the downgrade made the market drop, and the market for video games was also dragged down by its ugly hand.

Hacking Your Wii (Part 1)

Really, I must show people the ancient art of hacking.

It is an art to pass down through ages, yet, it is not well known.

This is not the criminal version of hacking, it is unlike surfing through the web looking to steel someone’s personal information and haunt it.

This type of hacking is the kind that you use to manipulate a video game to your liking. So, let’s get to business.

For today’s lesson we will skim over the basic rules of hacking a wii (in later posts I will go into this deeply).

1. You must have a wii.
2. Get an SD card (2 GIG works best, remember wii won’t accept HD SD cards).
3. Get the Reggie game level creator (this is only for Super Mario Bros, I will go into other game hacking in later posts).
4. Get Riivolution from the web (more on this later)
5. Get “Home Brew Channel” hack packs (more on this later)

I’m gonna have to tell the rest tomorrow I’m running short on time, sorry.

Merry Fishmas!

REVIEW: Pocket God

Pocket god is an awesome game, and, like we’ve all been waiting for…..BATTLE OF THE GODS!!!

I’m so happy that it’s finally come out! It’s really what we all expected in a game. It could almost be marketed as a whole game in itself. What a great game!

I’ve been playing it since the start and it’s always been my favorite. It’s been a great game forever, and I still remember when it started, but look at it now.

I’ve had a great time and I hope Dave and Allan can squeeze even more into this game if possible, and of course I’d be delighted to see more on pocket god JTU!

Thanks for bringing us all the fun and games you have.

It’s been wonderful to know this game! :D

Note to Bolt Creative: Thanks for all the fun guys! Please leave a comment, thank you! :)

Illegal Mario Knockoffs!

Breaking news!!!  Nintendo is trying to get the “supermario.com” domain name from an illegal owner who stole the name and made a series of rip-off Mario games creating an illegal stream of copyright infringement. It’s a bunch hackers who stole the domain name and are making an illegal Mario series, Nintendo is trying as hard as they can to get back the domain name from the people who stole it and report them!

REVIEW: Tiny Tower by NimbleBit

Tiny Tower by NimbleBit is an amazing game! Its chock-full of fun, cute stuff, awesome technical stuff, and more!

With this delightful tower sculpting game, you can build and evolve a beautiful tower with all sorts of stores and things to do.

This is a kind of business management game in which you build services, recreations, creative production centers, and more!

This game simulates real world business actions, and has a great retro sense to give it a fun and happy-go-lucky way of looking at something that would normally seem boring.

To add on to the fun there’s also the “BitBook” were you can make friends with your “bitizens” through communication, it’s almost like a social texting system, yet you’re not talking with real people and you can’t talk back, but it’s really fun and will blow you away when you see it.

I do have some suggestions for future updates.

I think “bitizens” should be more interactive with the objects around them, rather than just walking out of the screen.

The “bitizens” should be more customizable rather than just clicking a button and having a random outcome, you should be able to choose what they look like yourself.

The tower buck earning rate should be higher. There should also be more suits to dress your “bitizens” in.

Note to NimbleBit: the game is really great all around and I hope you like my review. Please leave a comment, thank you! :)

Shiver Me Timbers!

Disney and Carnegie Mellon University have teamed up to make a “sensational game” technology which really is “sensational”, meaning that you get REAL feeling when gaming. This amazing style of gaming will make it possible to feel jolts, bumps, and much much more. The concept is, you sit on a chair and feel the sensations of the game.  It’s as easy as sitting on your lazy boy to play wii.  But lets hope it doesn’t get too radical or people could be hurt! hehe! But for now the only point of this technology is to have fun!

NEWS FLASH: DefCon So-Called Child Hacker Riggs Popular Social Game!

Ten year old child finds technical flaw in the achievement system in a common social game! With help from her parents she changes the time it takes to gain game achievements. She visits DefCon for her strikingly smart “so called” hack, as people are saying it’s less of a hack, but more of a technical glitch that she apparently stumbled upon. Famous gamers at DefCon were stunned by the incident.

Welcome!

Alright, in this first post I’m going to explain the use and purpose of this blog.

First off, my ideas for posts are as follows:

1. There will be news flashes that include a piece of video game news that was just announced on that day.  These will be short quick news posts that will allow you to read the latest game news and determine games that you might want to buy.
2. There will be rating lists where you can check out other people’s ratings and my ratings of games and game consoles, so that you can pick out the best for yourself.  You can also input your own game ratings via comments.  All you must do is type in the name of the game that you’re rating, the amount of stars that you will allocate to the game, what you think of it and features that you like and dislike.
3. There will be a “top ten best and worst games of the month” post where you can see the worst and best games from all around the net in the present month. With this post you can also rule in or out specific games to be included in the next top ten list.  These posts will also be used for your decision on ratings.  If you have already played one of these games, you can rate the game and say at the end that it’s from a top ten list.
4. There will be a “comprehensive news” post.  This will be recent news that will be lengthy and will explain much of the latest game news including: game ratings from famous companies, big worldwide games, famous gamer news, and more.
5. There will be links to some sources that I get the news from.  From there you can visit and enjoy other people’s sites and info about newspapers and magazines that I’ve gotten information from.
6. There will be links to places where you can buy games that you’ve seen in the top ten list and ratings.
7. Finally, there will be videos including clips of real games and other media about games and gamers.

THANK YOU FOR READING!
