Another Friday, another podcast! Join us for Episode 8 as we discuss OnLive going live this summer, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11, Sony's Natal Motion Plus controller, fat cats, and the scrotum.
The Nintendo DS line of handhelds claimed yet another record this February, with new units sold totaling 613,000. This new record beats out the record of 597,000 set by the DS last February.
The downloadable offerings from Nintendo this week don't really include a bunch of awesome games, but there are a couple that I wouldn't mind trying. First off, the Virtual Console gets Final Fantasy II (a.k.a. Final Fantasy IV) on the Super Nintendo. Then, WiiWare gets Max & the Magic Marker, and Dracula: Undead Awakening (originally a PSN title for the PSP). DSiWare also gets the Undead game, as well as a card game, a game that teaches Spanish, and a Flip interactive book.
The first Endless Ocean game was supposed to be one of complete peacefulness. No matter what type of creature was around you, be it great white or barracuda, nothing would attack you. And yet, thanks to my personal fear of open water, the game made me nervous. I had absolute knowledge that nothing would happen, but when I would get to areas where there was a big drop off into nothingness or when you go down into the pitch black abyss the first few times, I would almost start panicking. That was all due to the fact that, even though this is the decidedly non-HD Wii we are talking about here, everything looked beautiful in the game and it really felt like everything was alive. Now we have a sequel that gives us all of that beauty spread out across multiple locations around the globe, and for me that just means more open water to be freaked out about. And did I mention that you can get attacked now?
It's the first day of March, and that can only mean one thing: Mega Man! Yes, us Wii owners are getting Mega Man 10 today (with it being released on PSN on March 11 and XBLA on March 31, we are very lucky to be getting it now). WiiWare is also getting some hammer time and raging darts. DSiWare is getting some golf, tennis, man-eating toilet goo, and a mini-game collection. The Virtual Console is getting Fatal Fury SPECIAL on the Neo Geo.
Nintendo is holding a large press summit today, and they have already announced the release dates of some very highly anticipated games as well as the release date for the DSi XL.
It turns out that the DSi XL will be available in just about four weeks, on March 28. It will retail here in the US for $189.99, $20 more than the DSi.
This week sees the release of another Dynasty Warriors title for the PS3 and 360. StrongBad's Cool Game for Attractive People lands on PC. Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth hits the DS along with the KORG DS-10 Plus and Ragnarok DS. You'll be able to get your arcade fix on the Wii with the Data East Arcade Classics collection and everyone gets to breathe a collective sigh of "meh" with the release of Aliens Vs Predator on the PS3, PC and Xbox 360. (more...)
This week, Nintendo is releasing ten downloadable games. Among the bunch is the BLASTER MASTER remake, some teddy bear Olympics, a free flash game that they expect people to pay for on the Wii, and Princess Tomato.
It's that time of the week again! Join Jeremy and Matt as they bring you the news you need to know. Covering everything from new releases to our own Super Bowl picks.
Much like the retail releases this week, not a whole lot of good downloadable titles coming from Nintendo this week. We are getting the final chapter of Tales of Monkey Island on WiiWare, as well as some bugs and solitaire. On DSiWare, the same solitaire game, an express version of True Swing Golf, and the Morgost. And on the Virtual Console, we get some Master System love with Alex Kidd in Shinobi World.
