Nintendo Gaming / Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii

« on: October 15, 2009, 04:31:42 PM »

On the newest Nintendo Voice Chat podcast fromIGN Craig Harris said the different characters DO NOT PLAY ANY DIFFERENT THAN MARIO, and it's only model swap.

So Luigi does NOT have a slipper movement and bigger jump and toads are not faster in running.

It wasn't the final build that Craig played, so maybe that will be fixed but that would be really disapointing. I actually enjoyed playing Luigi different and Toads differently, that could add some subtle replay value as you play as other characters and compensate for the differences. I played Super Mario Brothers 2 ( Lost levels ) with slippery Luigi on the VC and it drastically changed the experience and was very fun and hard to play in that fashion.

They got my Zelda posters backordered... fuuuuuck. Then again, my Mario hat order is being prepared.

Mine are too - and I ordered them virtually the day they popped up.  My guess?  They weren't really ready to ship 'em..

I got this email today :

Hello ADOLPH,

We wanted to let you know that we are preparing to begin shipping
the 2009 Elite Status Rewards!

We had thousands of loyal Nintendo fans reach Elite Status last June
and it is going to take us a couple of weeks to ship all the orders.

So, even though your friends or neighbors may receive their Reward
before you do, please be assured that your order is being processed too!

You will receive another email when your reward order ships.

Thank you for your interest and excitement and we hope you enjoy your
Club Nintendo Elite Status Reward.


Sincerely,

Nintendo of America Inc.
Consumer Service Department
 

My mario hat is coming soon . WOOT !!!

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Is Nintendo going to have a Fall 09 press summit this year ?

« on: October 09, 2009, 10:37:41 PM »

Don't worry, this hype trains not stopping yet.

http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2009/10/09/miyamoto_digital_contents_expo_speech/

This year's annual Digital Contents Expo will be held from October 22 through October 25 in Tokyo's Odaiba area. A part of the CoFesta series of events, this event offers visitors a chance to see the latest in digital contents technology through exhibits highlighting recent research and artwork. It's split into a number of sub events, including ConTEX, Asiagraph, International 3d Fair, and Digital Contents Grand Prix.

That's all swell, but here's the real area of interest for gaming fans. Set to give the keynote to commemorate the opening of Asiagraph is none other than Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto! The creator of Mario and savior of the modern game industry and, indeed, the world, will speak about his game production work over the past 30 years.

Miyamoto's speech will be held at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (the same venue as last month's Final Fantasy XIII Premiere) on the 24th starting at 13:30.

Zelda Wii
Pikmin 3
Star Fox Wii
F-Zero WX


CHOO CHOO!!!

So it was delayed. ok

I still think 2 Toads seems a bit lazy.
I don't know who else they should have included, but I hope there is at least 1 other unlockable character in the game to play as.
Maybe Princess Peach after you beat it or something.

Link FTW !!!

if not Sonic the Hedgehog would be epic win.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: System Update

« on: October 04, 2009, 11:40:00 AM »

Hey does anyone know if this update is the same one that comes on the Guitar Hero 5 disc? I finally had some time to play it yesterday with my girlfriend but the second I saw I needed to update, I turned the system off. I didn't even know 3rd party games could include updates with them.. and because the new update from nintendo is in regards to the shop channel, I'm only assuming that the GH5 update is the same one (some sorta dlc update?). Any verification would be appreciated though, in the meantime I'll be backing up all my saves.

how does things work ?

is the firmware update pre-installed into the disk and not allow you to play the game unless you have it. so if your firmware is already up to date, it does not activate.

or does it check for the firmware and force your wii to connect online and update ? the only thing on the disk is to code to force it to happen.

I'd buy this if I had the blocks.

Damn, I'd hoped I'd never have to say that again.

DSi needs a storage solution? I thought you could play from SD card like on Wii.

No, you can't do that. It's pretty inexcusable considering the DSi launched in America after the Wii storage solution.

If I counted right, I have 490 coins waiting for the yearly total to reset.  And the copy of ExciteTruck that I bought tonight doesn't count towards coins.

are you sure ?

It's odd because I have coins that I can use for anything.
However any new coins I do go 2010 . 



ADOLPHVEGA Family Coin Balance
60

Elite Status Coins for 2010
260
 
So I'll probably hit Gold status (300) within this year for 2010, but not sure if I'll hit Platinum again before july.

I used the coins on the zelda poster and ds card carrying case ( no longer on the site )

So i can't really buy anything anytime soon, but if I keep buying Nintendo stuff I will qualify for the special reward next year. You can SPEND THE COINS but it will still count toward the special reward.

I hope so, they haven't said anything about the games announced the last time so far and a year should surely be enough to get them into a presentable state, especially since they're supposed to come out this year (in Japan at least).

Look for info on Wed Oct. 7th Japan Time

Oooh, birthday information!

My birthday is on the 10th.

this is the first time i'm actually scared to update. I'm at the dorm so i am not connected online. However I am going back next weekend, so I could update. I never ever done any hacking or anything with my Wii.

I've been a good boy and I would hate for my Wii to break for something like this.

I know they did last year and that was when they showed off DSi and Punch-Out Wii. SO I am curious if Nintendo will have another megaton event this year.
I want Pikmin 3 and Zelda Wii trailers !!

Smart Smart Smart

i couldn't agree any more.

More stuff like this and I'll change my stance on DSi and consider picking one up. Right now it's still not worth upgrading, but with tons of great DSi only games that can change quickly.

General Chat / New Gold coins with different US Presidents on it.

« on: September 30, 2009, 10:27:27 PM »

So today at work a customer gave me a gold coin. It had a picture of " Martin Van Buren"


 

I looked at it, and looked at the reverse and had a picture of Statue of Liberty and $1 on it.



So I accepted it. I gave it to another customer later that day, but I was totally unaware that new gold colored dollar coins were in circulation.

I looked it up and found this:

http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/$1coin/

So basically they printing old coins for every US President in order.
Including the Presidents who already are on coins.

They even changed the model for Presidents who already have a coin

look at Andrew Jackson



he has a superman curl !! 

So sometime soon President Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Carter will be able to see themselves in a coin. That's pretty cool to be alive to see yourself in a coin.

just fyi

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Damn it ! I lost my SD card with all my Wii VC and Wiiware games on it

« on: September 28, 2009, 06:13:06 PM »

i gave up looking for it.

I bought a new one from amazon for $10 free shipping and it was 4 gig.

I found the file off the hard drive, put all my pictures, put all my songs and I still have 800 megs left !

All my songs !!! So if any game lets me use my mp3s or aacs or whatever I have my entire collection to pick from.

it's even faster to load too.

I am missing 1 game ( NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits) but since I already beat that I can download it at some other time in the future.

so you guys can lock this up.
