I Got a DSi!!

Posted on by

Thanks to good friend, room mate, and fellow Everyviewer Patricker, I am now the proud owner of a Nintendo DSi, the hottest new handheld gaming system on the market. Well, I will be the official owner once I pay him back. If that ever happens.

Anyway, this means a few articles and reviews are on their way. First thing I’m planning is a review for the system itself followed by various reviews for select games from my backlog of DS titles as well as a “The Top Five” which will list what I believe are the 5 best games for the Nintendo DS. I’ve also got plans to review the new DSi Ware games and the DSi Internet Browser. I’ll also do some image quality comparisons between my DSi, BlackBerry Curve, and Sony CyberShot (10.1 megapixels) to see just how good (or bad) the picture quality really is. To round things off I’ll probably jump on the bandwagon and post one of those really popular “Is it worth it?” articles that various sites are doing, but I’ll hopefully make my stance on that clear in the system’s review.

PackRat Paragraphs: Tekken: The Motion Picture (Factory Sealed VHS)

Posted on by

tekkenthemotionpictureEveryone with even a passing knowledge of fighting games knows Tekken. It has been one of the best fighting game franchises since the original PlayStation. But did you know that there was also an animated motion picture based off of the games?

Probably not. It was released in 1997 to drab reviews and pathetic sales and shortly after released on DVD, but that format also failed to garner decent sales due to the fact that the movie supposedly blows. I’ve never seen it and will never watch this copy, but if I ever find a DVD in a yard sale anywhere I’ll be sure to watch it and let you guys know how bad it really is.

I’ve found open copies going for as high as about 20 bucks on ebay, and factory sealed items are always worth more. I figure it’s worth about 40 bucks to a casual collector, which is a good chunk of profit over the $5.99 I spent on it.

Overview:

System: Wii Exclusive
Developer: Platinum Games
Publisher: Sega
Genre: Action

Sega is really doing big things with Nintendo’s little white box. Though the two were, at one time, mortal enemies, the house that Sonic built is quickly becoming one of the biggest third-party supporters behind Nintendo’s system. The House of the Dead: Overkill treated Wii gamers to a zombie-blasting bloodbath. The upcoming title The Conduit is a game everyone is talking about. And here we are with MadWorld, one of the most stylish, violent, funny, and just pure bad ass games of this generation on any system.

It’s finally time to put the stops on our most recent poll. The question this time was “What Current Gen Gaming System do You Currently Own?” Nothing too surprising, but here they are.

  1. Nintendo Wii (26 votes)
  2. Xbox 360 (24 v0tes)
  3. Playstation 3 (15 votes)
  4. None, I’m Poor (7 votes)
  5. None, Gaming is for Kiddies (1 vote)

I honestly expected the 360 to finish in the lead with the Wii in a close second, that was the only real surprise. The results from this poll are going to be used to know which video game reviews will be most helpful to you guys, so thanks to the few of you (only 73 in all) who voted. And as always, keep reading Everyview!

Wii Finally has a Storage Solution!

nintendowiiThat’s right all you fellow Wiiners, the days of cleaning out your Wiifridgerator have finally come to an end! Nintendo has, at last, released a System Update Patch that allows users to download games directly to an SD Card and play them directly off of that card. In other words, expandable memory is finally here. Instead of being stuck to the Wii’s atrociously tiny and laughably small amount of internal memory, you are now allowed to utilize plenty of storage space.

But as excited as I am, I’m off to bed. I’ll talk more about this a little bit later, but for now you should all rejoice and celebrate with hot bread and fresh wine! And as always, keep reading Everyview!

I just wanted to let all you guys know about this. It’s a great song by Sam Hart relating passionate and romantic relationships to the Mario Kart, the greatest casual racing title ever. The lyrics are brilliant and the melody is catchy, and it’s a really good song overall, I hope you guys enjoy it.

Thanks to the lovely Kim Boland, my own wonderful Princess Toadstool for showing this video to me. Smooches.

Retro-Review: Bonk’s Adventure (TurboGrafx-16)

bonksadventureOverview:

System: TurboGrafx-16 (Wii Virtual Console)
Publisher: Hudson Soft
Developer: Hudson Soft
Genre: Platformer

Remember the 16-bit wars? The Super Nintendo VS the Sega Genesis is what the majority of people think of, but there was one more contender that most have never even heard of. The TurboGrafx-16 from Hudson is that forgotten system of the 16-bit era. It failed for numerous reasons including the heavy price-tag, no Sonic or Mario, and all around lack of tons of triple-A titles. But while it is true that there weren’t very many standout games, the TurboGrafx-16 definitely had more than a couple of great titles worth your play time, and Bonk’s Adventure is easily the most notable. Let’s check it out, shall we?

The Top Five: Reasons Bob from Bob’s Game Needs to Shut his Mouth

Posted on by

welcometobobsgame1For those of you who don’t know, Bob’s Game was a Nintendo DS game made by one person. He put over 5 years into developing what looked to be a promising and fun game with an awesome premise. It really is a marvel that he, by himself, created such an interesting title when most big developers can’t get anywhere near that. But he went about the development process all wrong and Nintendo was forced to turn him away. Which could’ve been resolved eventually if he didn’t go all Axl Rose (insane) on the world and throw a series of fits and post countless hate articles on his blog. Bob, here’s why you should shut your mouth.
