Frigate Orpheon
Tuesday, December 18, 2007

This stage is from the Metroid universe. Every so often, the stage will flip, and that will catch your opponents off guard, so use that time to strike. Occasionally, the lights will go out, too

Mario Circuit
Thursday, December 13, 2007

This stages is almost like the F-Zero stage in Melee. The karters are racing against each other, and will knock you out if you're not careful. You can track where they are on the screen at the back.

Blog Action Day 2007
Monday, October 15, 2007

I know some people have known this for a while, but Nintendo is really contributing to the wellness of the environment. Check it out:

In our offices:
– We recycle the paper we use company-wide.
– We limit our use of colored paper, since it’s not easily recycled.
– We purchase recycled paper towels, report covers, message pads, and writing pads.
– We currently recycle more than 70% of the waste that is generated at our headquarters.
– We actively promote the recycling of aluminum cans and glass in our corporate cafeterias.

In our products:
– We use at least 80% recycled paper in all of our shipping packaging.
– We no longer use Styrofoam in our game pak or Game Boy packaging.
– All of our instruction manuals are printed on recycled paper.
– We no longer use plastic Game Pak covers.
– Our clamshell packaging is recyclable and most recycling centers accept it.
– We require that manufacturers not use any banned substances (such as lead, mercury, etc.) in components, nor use them in the manufacturing process for any components used inside of our products. This requirement also extends to suppliers of packaging, marketing materials, and other items used in the marketing and distribution of our products.

Honestly, I think that people can make this world a cleaner place if we really try. We just need a little jolting.

Browser issues
Saturday, October 13, 2007

Ok, I've been having some problems with the browsers for this page. Internet Explorer, for some reason, makes the "banner" for the chatbox a link to Notices. Firefox does the same thing. Safari just goes wacky, and makes all the text on the page a link to Notices (with the exception on the blog post name). The only one that works properly is Opera. So, yes, that means the Internet Channel too. I don't think that there's a way to fix it(I tried separating the link, didn't work. Tried removing Notices, made a link to Music instead. Tried moving it to the right side, still didn't work). If anyone can help me with this, please leave a comment. Thanks.

Taking Snapshots
Friday, October 12, 2007

This really wasn't a mode that people were really thinking of, but makes a welcome return. Snapshots are back! The only difference is that the camera options comes when you pause, there's no separate mode, and you don't have to have a 4th player. One more addition is you can send your photos to other people, plus put them on your SD Card for more memory. I don't think that you can see them on a computer though.
As for the blurred out thing, I don't know what that is, so just stay tuned.

WHO'S MAKING GAMES FOR NINTENDO SYSTEMS? EVERYONE!

Nintendo Unveils its Incredible Lineup of Games for the Holidays and Beyond

REDMOND, Wash., Oct. 11, 2007 – Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ continue to appeal to every kind of consumer. As Nintendo's list of upcoming games demonstrates, Nintendo has a game or experience for everyone, no matter their taste, age or video game playing acumen. Wii games like Super Mario Galaxy™ anchor Nintendo's lineup for the holidays, as Wii adds games faster than any other system in this generation. For Nintendo DS, Flash Focus™: Vision Training in Minutes a Day and Master of Illusion™ again will make people think of video gaming in a whole new way.

"Because of Wii and Nintendo DS momentum, third-party publishers are supporting our systems like never before," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Their lineup of diverse games is testament to how we make the population of gamers a little bigger every day."

Major publishers worldwide are making games for Wii and Nintendo DS. Shoppers will find dozens of options through the holiday shopping season and into 2008. By the end of 2007, the library of Wii games is expected to grow to 140, not counting nearly 200 downloadable Virtual Console™ titles, while the Nintendo DS library should be nearly 450.

Sonic's Side Special move is the Spin Dash. He charges up in a ball, then shoots out at high speed. His Down Special Move is the Spin Charge. This is for charging up the Spin Dash. His Up Special Move is the Spring Jump. A spring materializes under Sonic, and shoots up very high.

NINTENDO INVITES EVERYONE TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH DEEP NEW ZELDA GAME
Wednesday, October 3, 2007

NINTENDO INVITES EVERYONE TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH DEEP NEW ZELDA GAME

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Marks Series’ Debut on Nintendo DS



VANCOUVER, B.C., Oct. 3, 2007 – Launch of The Legend of Zelda®: Phantom Hourglass for Nintendo DS™ marks the arrival of perhaps the deepest, richest story ever to appear on a hand-held video game system. The game requires players to fill up the Phantom Hourglass with sand and give themselves enough time to delve deeper and deeper into the ultimate dungeon. It has received critical praise both in North America and in Japan, where it launched in late June.



“The storyline for The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass represents a new pinnacle for hand-held video games,” says Ron Bertram, vice president and general manager, Nintendo of Canada. “We are also pleased to announce the title will provide Canadians with an option to play the game in English or French.”



Veteran gamers should be able to pick it up and start playing instantly. “The game is a pure testament to both the power and innovative aspects of DS, delivering an overall product that will blow gamers away visually, stylistically and cinematically,” says Mark Bozon of IGN.com, who rated the game 9 out of 10, including a perfect 10 rating for its “stunning” graphics. A notoriously critical Japanese publication also gave The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass a near-perfect score: Four judges rated it a perfect 10, while one gave it a 9.



But what about people who haven’t played a Zelda game since the original on the Nintendo Entertainment System® in 1987? No worries. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass has players navigate through the game using only the touch screen. Sliding the stylus swings hero Link’s sword, while tapping other characters starts conversations or battles. Players can even write notes on their maps to remind them of places they should revisit once they gain more items and experience.



If two players want to spend a little time together with The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, they have two options. If they’re in the same room, they can play over a local wireless connection. If they’re far apart, they can use their Internet connection to log onto Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection and battle in the two-player mode, which lets one player control Link while the other player controls the enemies who are after him.



As a special bonus for Nintendo’s rewards club, My Nintendo members who register the game and their Nintendo DS hardware at MyNintendo.com and fill out a short survey will receive a special Nintendo DS stylus that looks like an old-fashioned quill pen (subject to availability). The epic adventure is rated E for Everyone.

Devil

The Devil relly doesn't help you at all. He just shifts the screen depending on where he points. So he isn't helping you, he's just creating misery. IF you haven't guessed yet, he's an Assist Trophie.

WarioWare

There have been alot of wacky stages throughout video games, and WarioWare has been some of the wackiest. Well, guess what?
It is now a stage! The background coincides with the battle field, so whatever is happening in the background can affect the battle field. The background changes every 5 to 10 seconds, just like in WarioWare. The elevator picture looks like a pig, this time.

Pokemon Trainer: Special Moves

If you want to change the Pokemon, well, thats the Down Special Move. You can switch between the Pokemon with that command. All the Pokemon share the same stamina meter, so that means that even if you swap the Pokemon out, they will still have the same stamina level as the Pokemon before. Also, if you swap the Pokemon out too much, that will affect their stamina.

Well, I'm back, thank you to Stephen for putting up some of the news while I was away.


















P.S. I don't think that the final smash name for Yoshi comfirms that he is a dragon. That could be just a name. Sorry Stephen.
