new blog
Mar. 26th, 2008 | 09:41 pm
It's been fun, but I'm in the market for a redesign of my blog. Pretty soon, I'll be moving it to my own webspace, and adapting the format a little to cover a slightly broader ranger of subjects (in order to better accommodate more of my friends and family). I'll still be posting a plethora of gaming news, but it'll be dispersed between posts about movies, japanese pop culture events, trials and tribulations of the japanese language, and my continuing effort to define my artistic style.
So, until that happens, posting on here will probably be slow, because most of my efforts will be focused on getting my own website launched.

Mariokart Wii GP to be single player only?
Mar. 26th, 2008 | 12:34 pm
According to the newest Nintendo Podcast, Mariokart Wii will feature a single player only GP mode, with multiplayer being restricted to battle and VS modes. I'm hoping that the standard VS mode is just a different version of the GP, allowing you to race courses against your friend(s) with CPUs still participating. It doesn't really make sense for them to remove multiplayer from GP mode, though. Unless I'm mistaken (and I don't have any of my Mario Kart games with me to verify), multiplayer has been implemented into the GP mode since the original Mario Kart on SNES.
On the upside, Mario Kart is Mario Kart, and there's no way to suck the fun out of it!

Wii Rockband fails to impress
Mar. 25th, 2008 | 10:39 pm
Update: It appears that Rock Band Wii will also lack online play. Possible explanations given were that your rockitude levels were too badass for the Wii's hardware.
Harmonix announced Rock Band for the Wii! Fanfare and trumpets! You can get your rock on come June 22nd, with a special edition package set to include drums, a guitar, and a mic for $170. The game will ship with 63 songs in the tracklist, and of course will feature the option to download weekly content. Wait, that's what would have made sense. Oops, I got a little carried away, there. The game will feature no downloadable content, no mii support, will NOT support the wiimote integrated into instruments (which means you can't use your GH3 controller), and no character creation. The Band World Tour mode hasn't been commented on, but since it was said to have a similar feature set as the PS2 version of Rockband, I wouldn't count on it. All the instruments (except for the guitar) will be wired, and it will ship with a USB Hub. So.. uh.. get your rock on, I guess. Read More.
In other news, my PC is up and running, and it's a behemoth now. Although my wallet is a little hurt because of it.
