Will there be another remake for the 3ds???

With all the remakes from the Nintendo 64, ( Ocarina Of Time, Star Fox 64 ) I really would like a remake of Donkey Kong 64. That was my second favourite game as the 64 was for sale. That was my favourite Jump n`Run game ever. Not even a Mario game can beat that to me. I would gladly pay 40 Euros to have that much fun again. At first on the 2nd Nintendo Direct yesterday, I did not think a new console would be announced. At first when Satoru Shibata was in a game factory I thought he would make the big suprise something like Animal Crossing 3d is coming out next month or another great game is being remade ( ex. Donkey Kong 64 ), but no, a new console has been announced. They probably are planning a very successful year. It would be more successful if Donkey Kong 64 would come out instead of something like Inazuma Eleven Strikes. But all that is only my opinion. Some people might like the Inazuma Eleven series much more than Donkey Kong. But I am not a soccer fan so I do perfer Donkey Kong much more than Inazuma Eleven. Maybe Nintendo is in making of a Donkey Kong 64, but are planning to announce it on the 3rd Nintendo Direct online show.

Yesterday and Today 1

The old days were better almost everyone says. Some may think that is wrong, because technology grows. But they do not notice that its flaws grow just as fast. Here is one of them I am presenting in a new series `Yesterday and Today`.
In this episode I am going to show you a difference that probably very few people have noticed:
Did you notice a difference when you turn a Gameboy on and then your DS ?
Well the difference is, on the gameboy you hear a `ding ` sound. After that The word Gameboy and then Nintendo appears.














On the DS after you turn it on you have to select what you want to do, because after the Gameboy era, you had the possiblity to connect your DS to the internet and load on some more programms.











If you find more flaws or more positive things about the newer technology please leave a comment!!!!

Wii u console and Wii u games preorder price

Today Amazon announced their preorder price for the Wii U. The price is 349,99 Euros. A game for the new console would not be a bargain, it costs 69,99 Euros. But they are only to preorder. So this probably is a higher price than what it will be on its release date the 21st December. This goes for the games ,too. But if this console will be a flop like the 3ds the price will maybe go down quite a bit. The price for the 3ds XL to preorder is 199,99 Euros. That is pretty cheap, because when the 3ds came out it cost 50 Euros more.

2nd Nintendo Direkt gives suprising news

This morning at 6 am CET the next handheld console has finally been announced. Will it be a 3ds lite or a 3ds XL. I have heard rumors about both. Of course it is a Nintendo 3ds XL just in time for summer break. It comes out next month on the 28th July in Europe. Hopefully Nintendo has learned about their price flop for the Nintendo 3ds and will not make it cost more than 220 Euro. ( How much I spent for my 3ds ) But if it will be an expensive joy that will eventually be a flop I would like 20 free games from the E-shop like it was with the normal 3ds. The top screen measures  4.88 Inches and the bottom screen 4.18 Inches. It is 90% bigger than the original small 3d handheld console. Nintendo promisses a longer Battery life than the 3ds. However it does not have a second analog stick so they must redesign a special one for the bigger 3ds. The colours for the launch of the console will be red or blue. It will have a larger SD card in it, too. Not 2 GB , but a 4 GB SD card which will allow you to download more games from the E-shop. 




My opinion:

I think this will be a better start than the 3ds. With all these extra functions and stuff. The larger SD card is one of them. I was wondering how much my 2 GB one will still last with all my programms and pictures, voice recordings and much more. Another function is the longer battery life. The original 3ds had such a short life till you saw the little red LED light flashing and think " I charged it 5hrs ago. ARRGH. "

 

The Games coming out on the launch date of the Nintendo 3ds XL ( 28th July ) will be.......


...... New Art Academy. A new Art Academy game. Is that what we need for a launch of a new console. I guess it is okay. But for a launch you want to have Mario, Zelda or Kirby. But I like the idea. An art game on a big screen. On this game there is even a Goomba drawing lesson!

.......Freakyforms Deluxe. The E-shop game was so successful they even made a remake as a card game. Which I think is NOT LOGICAL AT ALL. I think nobody would buy the same game again if they have an 6 Euro version on their 3ds. I would not decide " Hmm. 40 Euros or 8 Euros. Hmm Hmm Hmmmmmmmmm. " JUST GET THE CHEAP ONE !!!!!!!!

Demo games that came out are Kingdom Hearts and Theatrythm Final Fantasy. The Kingdom Hearts game I like all the flying and swooshing around the towns, but I do not like the fighting.The Kingdom Hearts game comes out on the 20th July. You should expect me not to review these games.


New Super Mario Bros. 2 is for the 3ds and comes out on the 17th August. This game will have a coin Rush mode. This mode there is a lot of gold things ( ex. Gold Mario ) and all makes more coins. You can try to beat the record and collect most coins. You can also see other peoples stats via Spotpass and Streetpass.


Here are the games that have only a month or year:

Inazuma Eleven Strikes                                                              September
Pokemon:
Black 2                                                                                      September

Pokemon Typing Adventure                                                      September


Pokedex 3d                                                                               September E-shop



Professor Layton 5                                                                 2012
Animal Crossing 3d                                                                  2013

Nintendo E3 2012

We all have been waiting to hear what would be out of the Wii U. But now all is revealed.


Wii U


Games:


Nintendo Land 
Wii fit U
Pinkmin 3
Super Mario Bros. U
LEGO: City Undercover
Sing
Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition
Scribblenauts Unlimited
Just Dance 4
Zombie U 



It has been announced that there will be a program that allows to chat for help on a game or say how far you are. It is called Miiverse which means Mii Universe.


It will be available on Wii U, 3DS and you mobile.




      Now to the 3DS:

Only these games got mentioned: Paper Mario
                                                         2d Super Mario Bros.
                                                         Luigi`s Mansion
           

Mario Tennis Open 3DS

Mario Tennis Open is the third Mario game for the 3DS. The game gives you a lot of options to play.
You can collect coins from minigames and trade them for a new racket or new outfit. You can play as a Mii or any other Mario character (just not Joshi, he will be available after a while though). To unlock him, you must collect some QR codes. Each code will unlock a different colored Joshi. After you have all the codes, you will get the normal green Joshi. Here is the code for the yellow one.

Now to the gameplay. Unlike the other ones, this one does not contain a story mode. The gameplay is very fun with all the panels on the ground that makes the ball fly different. The graphics are very good and this lets you enjoy the game even more.
                       

There are four minigames: Ring Shot
                                           Super Mario Tennis
                                           Galaxy Rally
                                           Ink Showdown

Ring Shot is pretty simple. You hit the ball through the rings.
Super Mario Tennis is a little harder. On a wall you are playing Super Mario. You hit the ball against coins and Goombas until you are done.

Galaxy Rally is even harder. You hit the balls on the panel on the other side and the panel disappears.  When you hit a different one, the panel that you hit a moment ago comes back. But you only have three balls.
Ink Showdown to me is boring. Ink things throw you tennis balls and you do not let Peach return the ball. The ink things will throw ink balls at you, but if you hit them, you will get covered in ink.


Good graphics
Three fun minigames
Unlockables
Fun gameplay
Great sound







First too easy...
...then too hard
one boring minigame







This game deserves 87 out of 100 Points

How to decide if you want a game

You might hear of a game and want to have it. But what if you do not like it?
Before you even think of buying it ask yourself:

1. Will I play it often?
2. Will I like it?
3. Will it be fun?
4. Will it fulfill my expectations?

It may be hard to find out the anwsers. These tips might help.

- If a friend has the game ask if you could try it out for a couple minutes.
- Read an article on the internet or a magazine. I always do both.
- Try the game out at the store. At some stores you can.

Do not trust the back of the case of the game!!!!! Most will make you blindly buy the game and you will not like it!!!! The backs used to have a paragraph or two about the story, but now all they have is a picture of gameplay and one or two sentences like: With over 20 minigames.  That is about everything besides language and things like that.
If you buy something from the 5$ bin. Don`t even think to get it. All games I got that cheap I sold.
Games like Zelda and Mario you should not wait untill they are cheaper, because it will probably never go under 30$ unless it is a Nintendo selection product.

 I hope these tips will help you chose a good and fun game.
