"Yes, I thought it was too good to be true, but the amazing folks over at GameTrailers.com showed us in their latest episode of Pop-Fiction, an online series that’s equivalent to a gamer’s Mythbusters, Have shown us it's true. Nine years after the release of Super Smash Bros. Melee, the glitch to play as Master Hand has been proven to work, but that doesn’t mean you'll want to play as him."
"Everyone has that video game they absolutely love. Everyone has that video game that they can play for hours on end. Everyone has that video game character that has won their heart and everyone has that video game character that they absolutely hate..."
The overall best use of music in videogame commercials are here. Including well known tracks like "So happy together" to mostly unknown "How it ends." Check out these videos and cool tracks and find out what made them so great.
The Nintendo Wii saw plenty of excellent classic games re-released on the Virtual Console service this year. So which of the titles were the best of the 2009 class?
"Nintendo will add the original Super Smash Bros. to the Virtual Console today for a price of 1,000 Wii Points ($10). And not only is the classic N64 brawler finally being added to the Virtual Console, it will also be the 500th game added to the Wii Shop Channel.
On the DSiWare side of things, the wild card game Uno and a DSiWare rendition of Dragon's Lair lead the pack."
Three big releases are set to finally grace the Virtual Console. Nintendo have announced that Super Mario Kart will be available for download this Monday, allowing fans to re-experience the game that started off the series. Nintendo have also stated that Super Smash Bros. and Pilotwings will finally be released sometime this "holiday season." So make sure you've got some money saved up.
The Kartel combs through hundreds of video game commercials over the last 25 years, and picks out the ones that are worth watching again. Great nostalgia all the way from the NES era til today.
Coming this Friday to the European Virtual Console is a well-loved classic: the original Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64. The original eight of Mario, Link, Samus, Donkey Kong, Pikachu, Fox, Yoshi, and Kirby get ready to duke it out across the game's nine stages.
Other games hitting Nintendo's European downloadable services this week are Cocoto Platform Jumper for WiiWare, and Asphalt 4: Elite Racing and Sudoku 150! For Challengers for DSiWare.
"On Wednesday afternoon in Kyoto, Japan, Nintendo Co. Ltd. allegedly held a private conference at the Rihga Royal Hotel, where company leaders spoke to third-party publishing partners about a new service in the works for Wii owners. Called 'Wii Expand,' the addition, which utilizes the recently-released Wii System Menu 4.0's new SD card compatibility, enables players to download game expansions, modifications and updates. Insiders who attended the exclusive event said that Wii Expand would lau..."
"It's a frequently cited fact that Mario is more recognized worldwide than Mickey Mouse (whoever that is), meaning everyone everywhere should know what he looks like, even if his official look has matured over the years.
But in his near three decades of existing, not every official or officially licensed representation of the mild-mannered jumping guy has stuck with the program. History is rife with Mario drawings that are off, laughably bad or just plain wrong. Take our trip down memory la..."
"Next month Nintendo will take a step backwards with the Super Smash Brothers series. The first game in the series, Nintendo All Star Dairantou Smash Brothers as its known in Japan, will be available as a Virtual Console download in Japan for 1,200 Wii Points ($12).
Gamers in Japan have to fork over an extra 200 Wii Points compared to a regular Nintendo 64 game for Super Smash Brothers, but Nintendo of America probably wont pull this stunt. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina Time had the same is..."
"1999. The last year of the 20th Century. It was a good one, although since it followed on the heels of one of the single best years the industry had ever seen, software-wise, it is often forgotten. However, in addition to the games that are on the final list, just a few of the top tier titles released in 1999 included Alpha Centauri, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Unreal Tournament and Soul Calibur. Indeed, as we come closer to our 2008 list, we find these lists getting harder ..."
No this isn't a article ripping off Super Smash Brothers. In fact this is the first episode of a series called "There Will Be Brawl". Videos which show a side of Brawl you don't see on your Nintendo Wii. Luigi is selling mushrooms, Mewtwo is a gang boss and the Ice Climbers have become muscles for hire. If nothing else it has high production values for a video of its kind. Check it out at the source. Oh and there is swearing, yes swearing.
Who would you like to see in the next installment for the Super Smash Bros. series?
One blogger named Shane Burley has written his wish list. He has six suggestions all up, with his number one being Mega Man!
