Are you buying Mario Sports Mix on Sunday?

In case you haven’t seen it: Nintendo 3DS virtual tour
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEw2T-kF4mk[/youtube] It’s a little hype-y. But a decent overview of a portable “like you’ve never seen before!”
Old-school Kirby game coming to Wii this year
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pBNaMDDR7M[/youtube] Unveiled today by Nintendo. According to Wired, it’ll be a throwback Kirby. You know, the kind where you inhale enemies, assume their powers, then us it against them. Nintendo did not give an exact date, but confirmed it would arrive this year, most likely this holiday.
What balanced gamers often have to put up with while talking games
Online drivel like this: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z2Z23SAFVA[/youtube] Was kind of cool when these pepole didn’t have a voice. You know, pre-Internet days. Game mag days. When the only ideas we were exposed to were the ones in our heads. Or by trusted gaming friends. PS – Parody is an awesome way to prove a point.
Grand Theft Mario: “Koopa just got real”
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk9oa_PiXAk[/youtube] Best line from the parody: “Never bring a hammer to a gunfight.” Warning: Somebody drops both an s-bomb and b-bomb in the video. Viewer discretion advised. (Thanks, Josh)
You can’t be serious? Call of Duty: Black Ops impresses on Wii?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3sM4DtwRXs[/youtube] Only an idiot would play Call of Duty: Black Ops on Wii. I’m one of them. Why? Because I can. But more than that, because I wanted to see if it’s possible to fully enjoy a game, while knowing a better-looking version exists elsewhere. The answer? Undeniably yes.
Early reviews for GoldenEye Wii remake are encouraging, love the multiplayer
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0amtMlin7a0[/youtube] Varying consensus opinion seemingly keep it from achieving the quality of the original. But it’s obvious GoldenEye 007 is anything but a cash-in. Out today, the $50 game is definitely worth consideration, especially from die-hard Bond, shooter, and multiplayer fans. Infendo impressions to follow.
Good game alert: Disney Guilty Party
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjeTkfMOWVg[/youtube] Recently featured on the new and improved Infendo Radio, the fam and I have been playing Disney Guilty Party, which is basically Mario Party + Clue, the board game. Throw in high quality production values, and the $40 party game is something I’m betting most families would enjoy.
Where would you rank Epic Yarn in the Kirby series?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6R4IRFEBVVM[/youtube] Derek and I discussed this on last week’s podcast. Without completing the game, I’d say it’s the third best Kirby game ever. Right on the heels of Kirby’s Adventure, but not quite as innovative as Canvas Curse. Still, the interplay between graphics and gameplay is smile-inducing, more than enough to give it the b...
Someone tar and feather me: I still haven’t played Okami
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVf2rMILU0M[/youtube] First released four years ago on PS2 and 2.5 years ago on Wii, the critical-acclaimed Okami is a game I’m ashamed to say I’ve never played. To whit, everyone and their Okami dog says it’s the best Zelda game not made by Nintendo. It reviewed in the 90th percentile. And the widescreen 480p Wii version only costs $13 on ...
