Spore Hero: Almost Something Special, but not

Posted: 06 Nov 2009 04:39 PM PST

Once upon a time, there was a nice colorful peaceful planet filled with nice, colorful, peaceful creatures who liked to sing, dance, and fight for sport – until one day, twin meteors fell from the sky, crashing on the planet surface. One meteor brought an evil presence set on corrupting the planet – the other [...]

The last remaining qualm I may have had with this game just went away like a smashed Goomba. [L]et’s make one thing clear: NSMBW is absolutely brilliant in single-player. While trailers and on-stage demonstrations focused on the game’s new multiplayer element, this is a single-player Mario game in exactly the same vein as its classic predecessors, [...]

Hey Nintendo – Where is Mario Party 9?

Seriously, it’s been almost 30 months since Mario Party 8 was released and two years ago this month was when the DS version came out. So, hey Nintendo, where is Mario Party 9? Just be sure to include online multiplayer, MotionPlus, Balance Board, and WiiSpeak support (Zapper can be optional) … okay??

The next Zelda title, we learned today, is about to go MotionPlus exclusive. The confirmation came from notoriously loose-lipped Shigeru Miyamoto, in an interview from Tokyo this week. "In this (installment of the series), we're using MotionPlus to make you feel much more like you're actually fighting while holding a sword in your hand," Miyamoto said. [...]

Is Zelda: Spirit Tracks the least-anticipated Zelda game in history?

Posted: 23 Oct 2009 03:00 AM PDT

The witty gamers at NeoGAF seem to think so, noting that Spirit Tracks is basically 2007’s Phantom Hourglass with a train instead of a boat. And Phantom Hourglass was already similar to 2002’s Wind Waker. Obviously I can’t speak for everyone, but I’ll admit it: I’m not excited for this one at all. Perhaps [...]

Posted: 16 Oct 2009 07:54 PM PDT

Back in March, Junichi Masuda, the series director of Pokemon, was asked if they would consider turning Pokemon into an MMO.

So when you’re trading, you meet with a friend and decide which one you [...]

Top 5 TurboGrafx games by MSNBC. Too bad Legendary Axe isn’t available on virtual console yet. Whatever you do, stay away from Neutopia 1/2. That game is a stinker (you’re much better of with Zelda).

Nintendo Spotting – Who needs a DS?When you have a Game Boy Color!

Posted: 14 Oct 2009 03:47 PM PDT

While I waited for the train on the platform at my local train station I started to hear some old Game Boy sounding tunes. I looked around nonchalantly until I noticed it was coming from this teenager sitting down on the ground. He apparently was replaying Pokémon Gold in anticipation of Heart Gold and Soul [...]

Lou Albano, original voice of Mario, dies age 76

Before Charles Martinet made Mario sound like an eccentric Italian ESL student from the land stereotypical accents, our 8-bit hero had another voice: Captain Lou Albano. Lou Albano was a professional wrestling, a manager, an actor and more, but in 1989 most young gamers knew him only for his role as Mario on the Super Mario [...]

Real men and women play Wii Fit, it seems, and the sales confirm that in spades. Indeed, the (still) $89 Wii Fit just usurped a game from the always popular murder [...]
