Mario Kart..Wii~!

The one game that was easily predicted by the main audience, (Nintendo fans), to be coming to the Wii eventually has finally been shown to the public just recently at one of the biggest events in the gaming industry, E3.

Nintendo stated that during the first few months of release a specially made steering wheel will be packed in with the game. Generally, the same idea that Excite Truck creators had for their racing game. The only difference is that Nintendo has put much more effort into the design to upgrade the gameplay to the next level , or so it should.

New steering wheel! :3This is the only picture I could find featuring the new steering wheel for MKW (Mario Kart Wii).

It’s due to come out November 26th or so Fils- Aime stated. It’ll bring along a fresh look on Mario Kart and it’ll also be the first Mario Kart single-driver game to hit the next gen and last gen console.

Now, a look at the controller that I am talking so much about. It’ll feature a button in the back (to the left) that, I expect, when pushed will push the B button which’ll be used for drifting. The WiiMote will just pop into the inner frame like the other steering wheel made earlier in the Wii’s infancy. It’ll have a more realistic steering wheel look to and , I expect, it’ll also feel like the real deal. the whole control setup is still unknown as of now but will , most likely, be revealed in the near future.

And that seems to wrap up this preview that I ever so much wanted to present to the public if you weren’t able to check out E3 via G4 or elsewhere. ^-^ Thanks for reading.

Pokemon D&P: Now out to the public.

Yes, I’m sure many of us got up early this morning to go grab our pre-ordered copy so we could vigorously run our DS’s battery into the ground. Boy, do I sound enthusiastic. Mainly because I have to wait until tomorrow to go grab my copy. Thats why I can only put up a preview. Otherwise I would have a review up probably right now. Oh yeah and to whom it may have concerned, they did have a celebration in New York today over it’s release. Too bad I/you most likely missed it since most people wouldn’t just go to New York to celebrate and pay all that money, but then again….Nevermind.

Anyway, I’ll probably have my review up in a couple of days, I have to take some notes on it first and get it all together and organized before I can put it up on here. (What do you expect for me to recklessly just start writing about every single thought on it right now?). Until then I’m sure you’ll either be occupied with 1 of 2 things, 1) You are quite engrossed in your copy of D or P, possibly both. or 2) you don’t have it but your too engrossed with how your gonna pull together the money to get it before all sanities lost. Maybe you don’t even care/know about Pokemon and are doing better things than sitting silently in your room playing/crying/talking to yourself frantically over crazy scams for money. I kid you not though, everyone considering it but don’t know how good it is shall know it, in 2 days, thats mainly just to have me not procrastinate with it and get into a full-fledged Pokemon frenzy like never before.w00t.

I’ll write up a summary for people curious about this game and don’t know zip about it. This is the 3rd installment in the series, of traditonally, two games at release then a third game added later on. (You can find my post on “the cousin” if you take a good look around, it’s not that far back there). This is only predicted information though, usually though past repeats itself, as it has been seen to happen before. Anyway this game will have Wi-Fi connection allowing you to battle people all over the world as well as trade. There’ll even be a globe where you can see what place each of the people you traded with came from. It’ll definitely be fancy. Then when it comes to battle settings you’ll actually ,instead of button pressing battles, be using your thumb or if you’d like your stylus to choose battle options. And the animated scenes will be more lively and actually make you want to fight wild pokemon more than in past games.Altogether the impression it’s giving off his making it seem like a good game, so it’s probably worth getting but I can’t gaurantee that so to be safe, if your unsure, wait until I get the review up. I beg it. Until then you can read this over and over again.

((sorry about switching to bold and all, it kind of messed up on me for awhile so my deepest apologies.))

Pokemon D & P’s cousin soon to be revealed

Just recently CoroCoro, a Japanese Gaming Magazine, stated that in it’s next issue it will be unveiling the “Cousin” pokemon game for Diamond and Pearl. Many people have already predicted that there will be a “cousin” game just from taking a look at Nintendo and Gamefreaks’ strategic way of releasing games.

 For example, a cousin game would be Emerald version because it is still in the same region as the two main games, Ruby and Sapphire, but it’s got different things added. Like Rayquaza as your main legendary pokemon and how the story is just a bit tweaked from the two header games. Also with Crystal being the “cousin” of Gold and Silver versions. This means that it’ll be having a few tweaked things to it from the plot and storyline of the two main games.

 I’d like to point out that they are only “unveiling” it to the, mainly, general Japanese society. So don’t start freaking out that it’s already done and will be releasing in JP soon after the release of D & P in the US. Really they are only trying to inform the JP society and not the US society it’s only the researchers who do the kind of work of peaking into JP societies news in gaming, anime, and technology all together. That being said in a more detailed sentence, I am basically saying that it’s got a 98% chance of being the D & P cousin over a Pokemon Wii game.

 I’m looking forward to May issue which will be out in Japan on April 15 2007 just 7 days before the US release of D & P. A site that’ll be keeping up to date with this issue is: www.pokemonelite2000.com  so stay tuned with them to stay really up to date I might put up something on the “cousin” game around the time of notice.
