New Japanese Brawl Demo Footage!

Posted on Jan 26, 2008 04:18:38 PM

Here’s a little footage from the Japanese demo for Brawl. Hopefully we get one also! (also.. if you compare the picture so on the character selection screen to the ones of the alleged final roster you can tell that it is fake for sure)

Replay Saturday

Posted on Jan 26, 2008 03:04:14 PM

If you are an avid Gameonnintendo reader you may have noticed that typically every Saturday we have introduced a new segment on our site entitled “replay Saturday.” The basic idea behind it is I decide to pick up one of my games that I haven’t touched in a while and replay the title for that day or so, and hopefully fall back in love with the game. It’s a notion that is sweeping the nation and I hope you all join me in replaying some of your old gems.

Today’s source of entertainment: Super Mario Bros. 3 for the VC.

For the 1st two replay Saturday’s I decided to pick a title from my DS library but today I decided to really bring myself back. Back to a time when Fred Savage was still a little boy and he wandered around the streets with a strange, quiet boy who had a knack for video games and the mullet was some-what in style….

I’m talking about a time when every house hold had a NES system and one of the most popular title’s that was on every gamers mind was the pudgy plumber Mario and his latest adventure, Super Mario 3. Super Mario 3 is arguably (and I do say arguably) the best Mario title to every grace any console and was truly a revolution in its time.

This title has held up rather well over the years and is still unmatched in terms of 2-D gameplay. After playing through a lot of this nostalgic gem, I have to say gamers that I am quickly falling back in love with the 2-D platformer and I really wish that this genre of game didn’t go the way of the doo doo (I guess I should try to think of a different analogy because the genre is not completely gone).

I could go on and on about how great this title is but I am sure most of you have experienced this game for yourselves. If you are a younger gamer who has never played this “oldie but a goodie” of a game, I strongly urge you to check it out and get in touch with one of the pioneers that helped create the video game industry.

Which title did you decide to replay today?

First 3rd party wiimote!

Posted on Jan 26, 2008 12:47:22 PM

So i stumbled across this while surfing the interwebz.new wiimote

This is snakebyte’s new wiimote.  It’s planned to be about the same price as a regular wiimote.  I don’t understand why someone would buy this over a regular wiimote though.. especially since its the same price.

New Fragile Screen

Posted on Jan 26, 2008 12:27:34 PM

In case you missed it, it looks as though the Nintendo Wii is quickly becoming a haven for my favorite genre of game, the RPG. Besides the fantastic looking Tales of Symphonia game that is coming to Nintendo’s 5th console, we have yet another remarkable title to look forward to in the form of “Fragile”.

Below is a brand new screen of this mysterious title and is furthering my desire for this quality title. Enjoy the screen below gamers:
