Welcome back to another edition of the Prognosis. I am your host Dr. C-LOS. Let's get right into things.
I finished this game recently and wanted to give a quick diagnosis. It plays great and is a lot of fun. It starts off VERY easy and gets very challenging towards the end. The good lies in the platforming action and the various abilities you gain depending on the baby you are using. The fault in the game is the music. Some of it is really good but most of it makes me want to grind my ears inside out. In fact, some of it really couldn't be considered music: one or two notes every other second... Kind of sounds like a child playing with a xylophone but a little shy about what to do. If you want to collect everything in the game, be prepared to spend a lot of time with this game, and be prepared to possibly pull your hair out in frustration :P Highly recommended nonetheless.
According to Nintendo Power, they got to sepnd some quality time with much anticipated game. Let's go over what little was revealed.
It is already known that despite the name of the game, bikes are also playable along with karts. There will also be a stunt system of sorts implemented where you can perform stunts with your kart or bike but its tactical use is not yet known.
16 new courses are confirmed as are a few returning revamped older courses. Of course all the traditional power-ups are returning along with some promised new ones which have yet to be revealed.
As reported since earlier in the year, online play is still a go and will promise to feature up to 12 players simultaneously. Great news indeed.
As for the controls, the remote will be controlling all the steering and the face buttons will be used for acceleration, braking, attacking, etc.
My prognosis is that Mario Kart Wii looks to be shaping up to be a worthy successor to the series as long they keep the controls tight. The new online mode sounds great and hopefully the new 2-wheeled vehicles and stunt system add more to the gameplay. Keep a look out for more on this game in the future.
My Film
Well I promised that I would share my first ever film and I am very proud of it. It is a short 5 1/2 minute chase film. Please watch it, rate it, and let me know what you think. Thanks!

I Am Legend, I am the Dark Knight
Just saw this movie last night and wanted to give a quick diagnosis. It felt a little short as it was about 90 minutes long and it seems every film nowadays is 3 hours. But I felt it was worth watching. I think Will Smith did a good job and the action was intense in many spots. I liked it so I give it a thumbs up.
I saw this film in the IMAX theatre so I got a special treat of a 6-minute prologue to The Dark Knight. I can't find a good online version of it so instead here is a link to the newest trailer.
New pics of Ghostbusters for the Wii thanks to NGamer and 411mania.com. Solo and multiplayer modes are confirmed. Should be lot of fun hunting down ghosts with 3 friends. Unfortunately, no online mode confirmed which is a big disappointment. Split-screen can get hectic when trying to bust some ghosts and all hell is breaking loose. Anyway here are the screens and I hope they don't get cut off too much. I'm to lazy to download, resize, and reupload :P
And now onto.........
The Cosplayer of the Blog!
And today's winner is.......
Wowsers... I just suddenly became a fan of Supergirl. Not sure why :P
Anyway thanks for making another appointment with the Doctor's Prognosis. I have another film I have done so I promise to put it up soon.
See you next time! :)
