Force Unleashed Problem!...?

Hello!
Um, unless I'm wrong about this picture I am looking at, it looks like the Force Unleashed, might...be...SIDE-SCROLLING!!!!! This would be a disaster, but it might be an instant replay, a preview shot for the game, or something else. But, if this is a side-scrolling game, then I will be in major...uh...let's just say I won't like it at all. Especially, if on the other systems, its 3-D, but on the Nintendo system its not. Then again (the picture doesn't say in captions or anything) this could be a picture from maybe a DS version of the game. As you know, most of the handheld games, especially Star Wars handheld games, usually end up being side-scrolling. But, lets hope its not a side-scrolling game. THAT WOULD BE A DISASTER!

SEGA Games Too Easy?

Hello all gamers. And hopefully SEGA fans as well!
I have finally noticed something. Every game I have owned by SEGA, has gotten repetitive after a while, easy, and are the only games that I can beat within a month! So, now I wonder, should I even think about getting more SEGA games, or should I buy them from say Target, and maybe get my money back? What do you guys think? Your friend in gaming,

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games info. 2.0

I now have more info on the Olympic Games!
Well, as in the real olympics, usually wars will stop to have the games, well, the war between Mario and Sonic will stop, as they come together in one place, to see who's the best. Now, we all know that Sonic could whip Mario's tail, but the only problem is, he doesn't have one. No, it's the fact that SEGA promised to tune down Sonic. Anyway, in the game, in order to be good, all you have to know are 4 basic controls. Running (Holding the Wii-mote and Nun-chuck in your hands and pumping them up and down as fast as you can), Jumping (Swing the wii-mote upward, although sometimes angle is taken into consideration), Swimming (You swing the Nunchuck and Wii-mote left or right, or up and down, depending of the style of your character), and just plain Moving (You use this in the sports like fencing, you just simply just move the anolog stick).
Now, in this competition there are 4 categories of characters. All-Round (Amy, Blaze, Mario, and Luigi), Skill (Dr. Eggman, Tails, Waluigi, and Peach), Power (Knuckles, Vector, Wario, and Bowser), and last but not least, Speed (Sonic, Shadow, Daisy, and Yoshi). Now, we all know that Sonic would do well at track, Bowser at the Hammer throw, and All-Round characters are, well, All-Round. But what on earth (I mean, what not on earth) is this Skill category? Well, Skill would end up being quite good at jumping over hurtles, and jumping and doing tricks on the trampoline. Trampoline? you say? Yes, I have more info on the games we are going to be able to play.
First up, is the track. Well, this is a, what I call, a "tire your arms out sport". You see, all you have to do, is pump your arms upand down, without any hurtles, and without having to steer, so the only way to win, is to pump as fast as you can. Now, this would be no way a Sonic versus Mario sport if that was all! In these games, there are power ups, items to try to blast your opponents, and occasionally, a few power ups you get that are power-downs. And then there is the trying to dodge other peoples weapons. I don't know exactly how it works, but you get the picture. And then, you have to add in, that there are sometimes hurtles!
Next up, is the Field. Here at the Field competitions, they vary much more than at the track. The field competitions have many, many, many jumping. But not only that, but you have to take the angle into account too! The angle is used, in the long jump, triple jump, and the high jump. But the javelin throw, and the pole vault had very sketchy information on it.
Now, although the aquatics can not quite be called a "tire your arms out sport," it can still pack a whallop to your muscles. Especially because each character has their own unique swimming style. This means, that depending on what you like, Bowser could be your fastest character! Now, you've gotta admit, that's kind of weird!
Gymnastics: In gymnastics, there are two competitions, the vault (which is unlocked later in the game) and the trampoline. Now, for fast fingered Wii-mote experts, or button mashers, the trampoline is the game for you. Now, jumping is easy enough (just swing up a split second before touching down), but the game is won (and lost) in the air. A series of button controls and Wii-mote motions, will appear on the screen. The faster you do them, the more points you get.
In the archery game, it is said to feel a whole lot more realistic then the bow-shooting in the Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. Here, you press A and B, basically pinching the bow, and pull the Wii-mote back, then, onscreen targets will appear, and after aiming and taking the wind into account, you fire, along with a satisfied "twang!" sound comes out of your Wii-mote.
Table Tennis, is a game you would find only in the Sonic versus Mario olympics. And for Wii Play players, it will be very hard to adjust to the very new and different style of playing. The timing is way different, but although not as realistic as real tennis, you can catch your opponent off-guard with power shots and soft shots.
Here there is a game called shooting. Also very close to a shooting game in Wii Play, but once again, much harder. You must move your character through different stations, firing through different targets as fast as you can. As you move along, the targets get faster in moving, and much more force is required to hit them. Therefore it might be easier if you were a power character. Just depends on your preference.
"Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream!" Yeah, there's a rowing game in here, but it stinks. You basically just have to pull the remote and nunchuck back together, to simulate rowing, and when your finished with a few, push random onscreen controls. The beta testers said, "Even the trampoline did the 'simon says' better than this rowing event."
Last and not least, is fencing! This game has three basic controls. Moving away from your opponent, lunging, and parrying. You mix these together in random order, you have a pretty cool event! This game is easily the coolest and unique, and the beta testers said, "...and it looks really cool when Sonic and Mario face off with foils in their hands!"
That's all the info I have gotten on the game. But, keep coming back to see if I update again! Your friend,

Down with GameStop!!!! 2.0

Hello all Nintendo gamers!
If you love your Nintendo systems, and you love your games, then you will not be happy to hear, that Game Informer, the number one video gaming magazine in the world, is putting down, slamming, and cussing at Nintendo!!!!! Will somebody tell me whats so wrong with Nintendo?!?! The magazine said, that XBOX 360 is the best, PS3 comes next, and then Nintendo is a dope! What's the deal? I mean, I know it's not necessarily a "hard core gamer system", but it still has a good play! (Because it's not necessarily a "hard core gamer system" is why I am somewhat, SOMEWHAT, interested in Sony) So will someone please tell me why Nintendo got a 5.6! Oh, I remember now, Game Informer is U.S. based, and here in America, XBOX actually has a strong foundation. However, if you go to say Europe, or Japan, the real battle is Sony versus Nintendo, with Nintendo winning! Your friend,

Hello, Anyone There?

Hello all Nintendo gamers!
If any of you are wondering why my blog is not being updated regularly, it is your own fault. I like seeing comments from you guys on what you think of my posts. And if you don't leave comments, then I have no idea if you guys have even been here! Therefore, leading to the fact that my blog is not being updated! So, please leave comments on what you think is good, what you think is bad, and what you want to see. I need some new info on what you want Nintendo information on! Your friend,

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Info.

Hello all Gamers alike! (O.K, just Nintendo people)
I have info. on this game that will hopefully satisfy the hunger of which you all have for this game. Being Launched in November, this game features our two favorite rivals, competing in many of the olympic matches, like the 100 meter dash (pump your controllers up and down as fast as you can to run), the hurtle race (pump your controllers to run and lift up on the remote to jump), and other things. Not to mention the fact of the less realistic mini games that will sum up the ties, or other things. Two more of the competitions the hedgehog and the plumber are training for, are archery contests and hammer throws. On the archery, you just have to point where you are going, but pull back on nunchuck (or vice versa, I'm not sure) and shoot as accurately as you can as fast as you can. A cool feature of this event, is the fact that the Wii-mote will actually be able to make the "thwip!" sound that a bow makes when shooting an arrow, but don't forget to take the wind into account! For the Hammer throw, you will spin around the Wii-mote while holding down B, and release B when you wish to throw! There are 16 other competitions than what I have told you, but I am not very sure what it is. Now, every character will have weaknesses and strengths, but SEGA promises that the strengths will not be over active. Because, if you think about it, Sonic would be way too fast for Mario. Mario would be no competition for Sonic at all!!! Sonic has about the same strength as Mario, but he is a lot faster! So, that is why they will tone him down. Doesn't this sound fun?!
I would put on pictures of many of the games I have told you about, but I can't take pictures out of websites and put them here on my blog. They are copyrighted! So, you'll just have to wait for the real deal for the gameplay and pictures (which are so much better then, than now).
Good Luck.

Wii Remote Jacket Accessory?!?!

Hello all,
I have one question for you. . . . . HAVE YOU EVER THROWN YOUR WII REMOTE IN ANGER BECAUSE YOU MESSED UP, OR EVER NOT PUT ON YOUR STRAP, THEREFORE LETTING THE WII-MOTE GO LOOSE?!!!! I tell you I haven't! And the fact that complaints went into Nintendo talking about the straps not being strong enough, and the Wii-motes breaking, is all because they didn't put on their wrist straps! And the fact that they are just plain messed up, if they are trying to hurt the Wii-mote!! Now, they have come up with this crazy Wii-mote Jacket accessory, that is basically padding for the Wii-mote! And now, to every Wii that is hooked up to the internet, Nintendo is sending messages on the message board saying that you can get these things!! What is the point? Can't people be responsible enough, to know that they shouldn't throw the Wii-motes?!?! . . . . . . Sorry, had to get that out of my brain and onto my blog.
Good Luck.

NiGHTS Journey of Dreams

So, who has ever played this series? Not me!!
Well, SEGA finally pulled back it's shutters on the game, and has let out a good bit of information. This game's protagonists-Will Taylor and Helen Cartwright- live in a city that is called Bellbridge. They both have been experiencing nightmares that are coming out of current events their families are experiencing. On Will's side, his Dad who would always take him home from soccer practice, has been transferred to a different place. Making it a very lonely life for Will. On the other hand, Helen is experiencing some of the same type of things with her Mom. She and her mom, who had been very close, slowly spread away from each other, as Helen started to spend more and more time with her friends. Helen began to feel subconscious pangs of guilt every time. But then, it happened. The light at the end of the tunnel to give them hope. More like, a light in their dreams. They begin to be called to a world called, Nightopia, where they meet the mysterious flying jester named NiGHTS, thus began the flying adventures through many themed landscapes, and as the reporters said, a whimsical journey. Soaring through many places, performing acrobatics, all in places that are nicely themed. The only landscape pictured was a desert. The designers said this was to show Will's feelings of solitude. But if you hit many of the TV sets in the area, you could transform it into many things, like say a soccer dome would appear, a type of roller coaster etc. But if you failed to hit the TV sets, the landscape would become dark, and a nightmare would approach. If you are particularly bad at the game, you might have a lot of boss battles in your dreams in Nightopia. It also seems, that the computer controls NiGHTS itself, but you have to perform activities and hit the TV sets with the Wii-mote. (By the way, you know how Sonic and the Secret Rings and this are made by SEGA? Well, I beat the game of SatSR, and there were some parts of the gameplay, that were basically foreshadowing to this game!!) The more I see of this game, the more I want it. So, the more I see of it, the more I so want the game! Well, at least I don't have to wait long. It is scheduled to come out some time in December before Christmas. That pretty much sounds like Super Smash Bros. Brawl, doesn't it? Well I can promise they won't come out on the same day, but they will launch pretty close in time.
Good Luck.
