Merry Christmas Gamers!!!
Yes, I'm still around, it has just been a while. I have been working alot, but I'm back. Let's see, I have gotten an XBOX 360 since I last posted a blog. As you can see, I have gotten quite a few games for it. Be on the look out for more reviews and ratings. Good to be back.
In addition to the ports I would like to see...Wii U most definately needs GameCube on Virtual Console with enhanced motion control. The Pikmin games were made for motion controls...not to mention Super Monkey Ball 1 & 2. Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, and a better controlled Mario Power Tennis. Mario Kart Double Dash!! could support motion controls in the 1-player mode.
Other than those, I would also like to play Paper Mario 2, Star Fox Adventures, Soul Calibur II, F-Zero GX, Icaruga, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Wario World, and other good GCN titles.
Ok enough fooling around. Where is Donkey Kong 64...I mean really? There are no licensing issues. Nintendo owns Donkey Kong and also published the game on N64. We've already gotten the Donkey Kong Country trilogy for SNES, so what's up with DK64? We also need Dr. Mario 64 since you can't play up to four players on Dr. Mario Online RX. And, I want to see Ridge Racer 64 and San Francisco Rush 2049.
I recently bought Okami for the Wii. I went to the Capcom website to register it, but was unable to as I did not have a registration code on the back of the instruction manual (where Capcom says it is). I could register Tatsunoko vs. Capcom because it did not require a code curiously. I'm sure my particular copy is unregistered. There was also nowhere for me to register my copy of Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition. These days I try to register all the games I own. Does anyone know what's up with these product registration codes?
I picked up my copy of SMG2 this morning at 9am, and I have been playing the #$@! out of it. It is really an awesome game. I recommend gamers of any age to pick it up. It is not just a retread of the original...it is much better than the first because they have really improved everything about the first game and added much more variety and new elements of gameplay. Do yourself a favor and pick it up ASAP!
I don't think I've ever been as excited about a game release as I am now. I just cannot wait until 9am tomorrow to go to Gamestop and pick up Super Mario Galaxy 2!!!
This is a really short post. Franchises I would like to see on the Wii:
Castlevania - In Devil May Cry fashion, this game could be a 3D adventure of epic proportions.
Star Fox - A return to form with no dinosaurs or on-foot missions...all space combat
Metal Gear - Motion controls for hand-to-hand combat and action, nunchuck for movement
Kid Icarus - 3D reinterpretation of the 2D classic
Ninja Gaiden - Come on Tecmo give Wii owners a chance to experience Ryo's adventure, I mean Metroid is looking awesome, but we want some ninja action
Strider - It would be so awesome to see this game with next-gen graphics
F-Zero - a Wii update to the GameCube version...or maybe a port of the arcade F-Zero AX with more tracks
Come on Nintendo!!! There are other classics that have yet to be released on the Virtual Console, and I would like to see the following games:
1.) Donkey Kong 64 (N64)
2.)Turok Trilogy (N64)
3.) Rayman 2: The Great Escape (N64)
4.) Chrono Trigger (SNES)
5.) Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (SNES)
6.) Tetris Attack (SNES)
7.) Rocket Knight Adventures (Sega Genesis)
8.) Sparkster (Sega Genesis)
9.) Metal Gear (NES)
10.) Rad Racer (NES)
Keeping in mind my particular taste in games, this might not be a list that everyone agrees with, but there's no denying that these games are awesome.
If you did not watch Lost last night and don't want to spoil it...don't read this.
EP 603
Last night's episode of Lost was so good. There was a "flash sideways" that showed an alternate timeline (beginning in 2004) for the Oceanic 316 passengers as if they never crashed. Most of the flash sidways featured Kate and Claire. Kate commandeers a taxi cab with a very pregnant Claire to escape from Edward Mars. Claire was attempting to give Aaron up for adoption (the whole reason she came to the US), but the adoptive mother's husband left her, and she changed her mind. Immediately after Claire and Kate scold the lady, Claire has some wicked contractions and has to go to the hospital. We also saw the return of Ethan Goodspeed as he assisted with Aaron's delivery. He was a much kinder, gentler Ethan.
In the present (2007), we saw a newly revived Sayid who didn't remember anything since being shot. Sawyer has a meltdown over the death of Juliet and leaves the temple solo. Lennon reaffirms that everyone (816 survivors) must stay at the temple for their protection. Kate decides to go after Sawyer, Jin, who wants to find Sun, volunteers to go along with her. Two of the Others go to "protect" Jin and Kate.
Dogen has Sayid brought to him to "test" him by torturing him. He tells Sayid he passed the test, but later confirms he didn't when he talks to Lennon. Jack, very angry that they tortured Sayid, goes to Dogen and demands answers. Dogen tells Jack in English that Sayid is infected and emplores Jack to give Sayid a pill he personally made to "cure" him. After talking with Sayid, Jack decides not to give him the pill and confronts Dogen a second time. This time, he demands to know what's in the pill and swallows it to show he seriously won't give the pill to Sayid without knowing what it is. Dogen immediatly beats the crap out of him to induce vomiting. He tells Jack that the pill was poison, and they needed to kill Sayid because he had been claimed (by who I believe to be the MIB or Smoke Monster) and his heart would eventually be consumed by darkness like his sister, Claire. Is this the virus/infection that Rousseau spoke of in Season 1?
Kate and Jin escape from the two Others, and she and Jin go separate ways--she goes to find Sawyer and he goes to find Sun. Kate finds Sawyer at the village as he grieves for Juliet. Sawyer tells Kate he planned to marry Juliet and blames himself for her death because he asked her to stay so he wouldn't be alone. He throws the engagement ring in the lake and agrees to go back to the temple with Kate. Jin is recaptured by the Others, and one guy is angry that Kate bashed him on the head (now twice). He attempts to shoot Jin and Claire, who emerges from the nearby bushes, kills him and wounds the other man.
I cannot wait to see the next episode. Lost comes on ABC at 8/7C and this is the sixth and final season. You can watch this episode and the previous three at the following address: http://abc.go.com/watch/lost/93372?cid=fullepisodeaccess
