I originally thought about postponing this game night until the 31st, but I had so much fun at last week’s that I couldn’t resist the chance to do it again! Let me start by thanking everyone that made me lose horribly at Mario Kart, and wish for them all to come back this week and play The Conduit with us! I have chosen The Conduit as our game for this weekend for various reasons, but since a lot of people are probably upset I didn’t choose something like MH3, let me make my case clear:

The way I figured, neither me nor Valay have Tatsunoko vs. Capcom yet, so we’re holding off on that game until one of us gets it. As for Monster Hunter, we want to give players of the game adequate time to purchase/get acquainted with it before forcing them into crazily intense battles with little to no experience. I will say, however, that if you want to play some Tri with me, feel 100% free to contact me and we’ll set something up!

That being said, there’s no poll for the game this week. Just make sure you let me or Valay know via email or the forum if you want to play! Also, if you haven’t sent your friend codes in for the database I’m compiling, make sure you do that as soon as possible!

Update: Game night is over! Thanks for playing!

Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to inform that though we had many people give their Mario Kart friend codes, not too many of them confirmed that they’d be playing tonight. Additionally, a lot of people had to drop out due to not having the game with them, or for other reasons, but they’ll be back next week. For a test run of the idea, I’m happy with the group we’ve assembled!

Name: Ronin180
FC: 2449-8125-6701
Name: Alex L
Friend Code: 3866 8427 4129
Name: Valay
Friend Code: 2921-9485-4731
Name: Jack
Friend Code: 2965 6583 5641

We’ve got at least 2 more people coming in later (myself being one of them, but I’ve gotta get to the house I’ll be playing at before I can give you my code!), but I wanted to get this up as soon as possible so people are ready! You still have time to squeeze into this group, but I know some people are bringing guests so it could fill up. If you’re playing, add all these codes, and remember that the games begin at 7PM CST, with the room being hosted by me! I’ll do a final update with a link to the IRC chat so we can all talk, but until then things should stay quiet!

Hello, fine visitors of NintendoEverything.com! I’ve got one last update about these game nights before they get underway (except the post immediately before they start, of course), and it’s super important! To start, the game we’ve chosen to play, as decided by the poll, is indeed Mario Kart Wii. This means that everyone here who has Mario Kart Wii should either send me an e-mail with their friend code (if they haven’t already), post it in the “Game Nights” topic on the forum, or join the forum and post it in the comments section below.

What to do if you want to participate:
Assuming I already have your friend code, there’s just one or two simple things you have to do. To start, you have to let me or Valay know you plan on participating in this specific game night. How can you do this? Any way you can think of! E-mail us, send us a private message on the forum, or contact one of us in some other manner; all we need is to know that you want to play a few rounds of Mario Kart this Saturday! When you contact us, feel free to throw your friend code in with the message if you haven’t already and you’re too lazy to find every single one of your codes.

Come Saturday, everyone should expect to be online at 7PM CST/8PM EST/5PM PST/anything else you need to calculate. This is extremely important to ensure we get going quickly, and play as many matches as we can! During the whole thing, we’ll (hopefully) have an IRC chat going on the forum for any smack-talking or praise we need to dish out, but if not, we’ll find SOME way to communicate with each other during or between games!

Last thing: The list of who will 100% for sure be playing will be posted Saturday morning/early afternoon! When it is posted, make sure you add all of the friend codes of people in your “group” (you’ll see what I mean come Saturday), and then we’ll begin when everyone is ready! Hopefully all of this hard work will pay off, and I have a feeling it will, so stick with me and let’s have an awesome time this Saturday!

Any questions? Post them in the comments! I’ll be monitoring this post carefully to make sure I can answer everything.

Hey guys, sorry about the absence of an article this weekend! I was out of town, and thus didn’t have time to get something up! However, I’ve got a very important update for everyone that’s planning on participating in this week’s game night: I have decided that the game we will play is between Mario Kart and The Conduit. Before I go on, here’s the quick version of all the info for you all that are short on time or don’t feel like reading a long drawn out article:

– Game nights will now work on a week to week basis: I’ll announce the game at the beginning of the week, and you send me your code for that game (if you haven’t already) that week.
– You CAN post friend codes in the comments section below this post, but it is extremely important that you have a forum account so we can contact you.
– Please vote on which game you prefer!

My final decision will come soon, but for now I want to hear what you guys think! Would you prefer The Conduit or Mario Kart for this Saturday’s play session? Also, would you prefer game nights to be on Friday nights or on Saturday nights? Leave comments/friend codes in the comment section below, and make sure to sign up for the forum!

Sad news for those in Europe looking forward to the new Trackmania game for Wii, as it seems to have been delayed. The new release date for the title is September 16th, 2010, which is a ways after the planned North American release of May 7th. We’ll keep you updated if anything else changes!

My hypothesis: Wii is at least as good as Sony’s PS3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360, if not better, at selling ‘core’ third party titles.

It seems to me that in the last year and a half, third party Wii developers have been complaining more and more about how the Wii has caused their games to fail, and subsequently lose money. Is this true? Well, developers have definitely lost money, but I don’t believe it’s the fault of the Wii, and the reason is simple: People are making comparisons that take average-reviewed niche games and compare them with critically acclaimed mainstream games. The fact of the matter is that comparing No More Heroes to Call of Duty 4 or Halo 3 is just ridiculous, because no matter what system a game like No More Heroes is released on it will not sell as well as a mainstream shooter game. Therefore, the goal of this article is to compare the sales of a game like No More Heroes to another game in its genre with similar review scores, rather than taking unfair comparisons and basing my judgments off of them.

The following comes from a Computer and Videogames interview with Shigeru Miyamoto:

“This year’s going to be really great for the hardcore Nintendo player, especially with Super Mario Galaxy 2. It’s action-packed software and when I say action-packed software, it’s not just going to show you [pre-set] action movements in the 3D format. Rather, this is action-packed software that you can manipulate with your own will and your own control. I really want many households to be able to have a hands-on experience of Mario Galaxy 2. [Elsewhere] I didn’t have any involvement in Metroid Other M, but it is on its way. And also we are working on the New Legend Of Zelda for Wii. So from this year to the next, I hope that the hardcore-type gamers are really looking forward to the multiple Nintendo titles on Wii. And also, we are working on the [new] Pikmin.” – Shigeru Miyamoto

I definitely agree with Miyamoto on this one! Zelda Wii, Galaxy 2, Other M, Pikmin 3… There’s so many ‘core’ Nintendo titles coming out in the next year or so! It’s a good year to be a Wii owner indeed!

– Developed by Milestone
– Fighting game, featuring bishojo characters from four PC game makers
– No specific franchises mentioned yet
– Four players, simultaneous
– Modes include: Battle Royal, 3-on-1
– Movement controls and network rankings included

There’s no confirmation that this is all true, but it popped up in an online retail listing today. On the other hand, it’s nearly April Fools day…
