Nintendo Training Video

I've been watching alot of these training videos lately, KFC, Wendy's, BlockBuster. Now a NINTENDO!! Do you have it plugged in? Is it on the right channel? Is it on Fire..it may not work if its doused in flames.

 

First time luck.

I hate this! Does this happen to anyone else?
It happens to me ALL THE TIME with any sort of time trial or race.

I get thrown into the race for the first time.
INSTANT PANIC!!!

Things are flying at me, things are shooting at me, passing me,etc. And of course the goal of the thing is to be first. So I go in a blind panic and usually breeze through the thing, making it to the end barely in time.

Then, seeing that I can actually do it, I go back and try doing it better since I know where most things are and what I have to do.

But what always ends up happening is I do continually WORSE every time I try.
I fall off things, in holes, get turned around or stuck, bump into wall, explode, run out of time ...

Each try worse then the previous.

I get madder and madder and in the process worse and worse.

Why? WHY?! WHYYYYYYYYY????!!!!!

I'm doing a jump/run course in Saint'S Row IV and it is making me MAD AS HELL!!!!
I need to go take a walk. :P

Disney Characters as Street Fighter Characters

Love the style of these, the old school classic pixels.

Mike Tyson Plays Mike Tyson Punch Out

I think he just discovered video games in general.

Duck Tales - PS3

First off, a confession: I never played the original on the NES. In those days, I had to shell out all the game purchases myself and being in my early teens, I had no other revenue then occasional birthday money. So, any game I purchased had to be a sure thing, which I reserved for Super Mario Bros. Also, we never had cable and I only learned on the late about Duck Tales, when I caught a random episode while on vacation in the U.S.

I don't have to nostalgia associated with it that most people have, which means I have to take the game at it's face value, REMEMBERING that it's an NES game.

And I loved it!!! It brought me back to when I first liked video games.

I've seen many reviews complaining that it's a short game ....
IT'S AN NES GAME!!! They were all short!
I don't know if they were expecting an extended single-player campaign of 12 hours, but knowing what the source is, you can't go complaining about that!

The character animations are stunning. They look like what it would be like to have an interactive animated show. The attention to details is amazing. I can't rave enough about it.
I would get myself eaten by plants or knock on walls on purpose just to see the animations. It totally feels like the cartoon. All the sprites have been lovingly redrawn and animated. Truly impressive the amount of detail they put in them.

The backgrounds are all right. They're not fantastic, but they're serviceable and don't clash with the animations. The designs and render sketches are gorgeous. Too bad that didn't translate into the game.
But where things really fall short visually is in the objects in the game. The gems, chests and animated vehicles. For some reason, they decided to go 3D, which REALLY doesn't match the rest of the visuals. And it just looks like cheap 3D, something a 1st-year animation student would do. I would even go as far as to call it sloppy. It's a shame that it brings everything down a notch.

Having the fully voiced audio is fantastic! Reinforces the feeling of playing an episode even stronger. I felt they added to the strength of the game.

And yes, Webbigail is still 100% annoying.

Most complains I've heard/read about the game are from reviewers that compare it to modern games.
- You have to start back from the beginning if you die!
- The game mechanics are simplistic!
- It's so short!
- There's no depth to the story!!

Umm .... it's an NES game from about 20 years ago. You can't bring those arguments! It's not a sequel. It's an HD remastering. Just take it for what it is, not what you wished it would be. It's not the second coming of Xenu!

In my opinion, I had fun. It looked gorgeous (barring those horrible 3D things) and made me nostaligic for that time. I loved it. :)

Brand New Empire Strikes Back Atari Game

Boy, does that ever look nice. Now rip the game out and get that sucker into the system!! I've got snowwalkers to tumble over.
