13 Minutes of Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Here is a quick look at Muramasa: The Demon Blade. I have been enjoying playing through the game and I do think its worth giving a go.
The Conduit: Game Impressions, Multiplayer Video
This video is no longer available. The Conduit game is a first person shooter for the Nintendo Wii. The game is good though the derivative nature the story and style of the game does detract from the amount of fun I had while playing the game. I say this because comparisons to a Halo, Half-Life, Men In Black movie, or any game in which you play as a Space Marine shooting aliens will come to mind. ...[Read More]
USB Loader GX: Play Wii Games From a Hard Drive
This video is no longer available. So I randomly came across this Wii hombrew app called USB Loader GX this past weekend and had to give it a go. To install this application you must have a Wii with the Homebrew Channel installed. This application allows you to load Wii game .iso files from a FAT32 formatted Hard drive. So basically you can have a hard drive full of your Wii game backups and conve...[Read More]
E3 2009: TMNT Smash up Impressions
I’ll cut to the chase on this one. TMNT Smash Up is a multiplayer game that will be coming to the Wii and was one of the biggest disappointments of the show. I played it for about 15 minutes and was shocked at how much of a Smash Bros. Brawl clone it turned out to be. It has the same gameplay style as the Smash Bros. game without the power ups. I think the addition of some over the top power...[Read More]
New Super Mario Bros. Wii Hands-On Impressions
So Nintendo didn’t listen to us and didn’t announce the Pokemon MMO which I think would have been a MEGATON home run. They did announce a new side scrolling Super Mario Bros. game similar to their Nintendo DS offering from a couple years back. I was able spent some time with the game.
Punch-Out!! Impressions Video
This video is no longer available. I tried. I really did, but you have to understand Mike Tyson’s Punchout is a game from my most memorable era of gaming. Before school and after school I took turns with my cousin tyring to beat Mr. Sandman, Mike Tyson and company. I planned to rent or “Gamefly” this new iteration of Punch-out!!! but the curiosity just got the best of me. To the ...[Read More]
Tatsunoko vs Capcom Coming Stateside?
So word on the interwebs this morning is that a leaked Nintendo Power scan shows that Capcom’s Tatsunoko vs Capcom game is coming to the US. This is still not confirmed but it looks like it could be legit. Initially it was said that it would be very unlikely that Tatsunoko vs Capcom would be released in the states because of the licensing issues. Things do change and perhaps this was slated ...[Read More]
Punch-Out!! Wii Video Footage From GDC
Video no longer available (originally hosted on GameVideos). 1UP has just posted some video clips of Punch-Out!! from GDC. Interestingly enough Destructoid has just posted some not so stellar impressions of the game citing a lack of difficulty and lackluster motion controls. Inany case check out these additonal videos of Punch-Out!! Wii: Video no longer available (originally hosted on GameVideos)....[Read More]
Wii Update Adds SD Card As Storage Solution
This update is available now and allows Wii owners users the ability to use up to 32GB SD cards as storage space. A new SD Card menu is accessible from the Wii Menu. Wii games can be launched directly from SD cards though they will be copied to system memory automatically before it runs. Of course this new update breaks all homebrew. For now. Source: NeoGAF
Punch-Out!! To Feature Balance Board Support
Apparently Nintendo’s official Italian (Its-a-me!) website has spilled the beans about the ability to use the Wii Fit balance board to dodge and weave in the game by players shifting their weight. Source: Punch-Out!! Gets Balance Board Support
Punch-Out!! Wii Trailer
Here is the latest trailer for Punch-Out Wii showing some new charachters and a few cut scenes.
Punch-Out!! Bringing 2 Player Modes… Head Explodes!
Nintendo sure does know how to make an offer you can’t refuse. According to the UK Nintendo website, Punch-Out!! will include a Head-to-Head multiplayer mode. Its also good to know that you can hold the Wii remote sideways like a NES controller to play the game.
