Nintendo Gaming / X-Mas gaming!

« on: December 25, 2009, 10:22:52 AM »

Hey all!  What X-mas games are you experiencing today?  I've just done a festive two hour session with Silent Hill (which is gorgeous and amazing)  I also got Darkside Chronicles, but I haven't opened it yet.

I just wish that Amazon had broken street on Crystal Bearers like Gamestop did.. my copy hasn't even shipped yet!

Nintendo Gaming / Rock Band 2 DLC is live!

« on: January 13, 2009, 10:31:16 PM »

Woohoo!  I've been checking every time I turn on Rock Band 2 to see if the DLC store was up yet.  And today, at long last, it was!  I only had 900 wii points in my account at the time so I could only grab four songs (They're 200 points each, so about $2.00 each) and I started downloading some of the 20 free tracks they offer.  I'm going to run out of room on my SD card in no time I can already tell.

The good news is that after downloading and archiving to the SD card I tried putting together a setlist of DLC only, and the load time was about 10 seconds between songs - about the same as when loading from the disk.  Quite impressive.

So now the only thing that sets RB2 on the Wii apart from the X360 and PS3 versions is the resolution of the graphics.. which frankly doesn't impact play in any way at all.  I am such a happy fellow right now!  I just have to master some of the tricky fingering in Buddy Holly.

Nintendo Gaming / What have you pre-ordered for 2009?

So what games have you guys got on your wishlists for 2009?

I just put in a $250 Amazon pre-order:  Deadly Creatures, Mad World, Little King's Story, Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers, The House Of The Dead: Overkill, and Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop.

And come to think of it there are a few other games I want this year that I didn't order - such as the new Overlord game and Harvest Moon.  So many games!

2009: Year of the third party.  Confirmed.
