Nintendo’s Kirby event partially disappoints
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment
Nintendo was hyping up another hosted event just a few days ago. There was a whole barrage of speculation, but yes: Blowing bubbles was the main attraction at Nintendo’s event. As was partially expected, Nintendo promoted Kirby Super Star Ultra for the Nintendo DS. However, a bunch of Kirby bubbles were blown and sent up in the sky. So no – There was no Kirby Wii announcement or any Kirby revelation at all, but hey…The Kirby bubbles are kind of nice.

This video is pretty nostolgic for me…The classic music is there, the characters, and it’s Dragon Ball. I remember growing up and watching the show all of the time – Lame, I know!

OFLC rates Left 4 Dead for…DS?
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
So here’s something interesting. The OFLC has rated Left for Dead on the DS. As far as gamers know, the only Left for Dead game is available only on the Xbox 360. The OFLC has given the game a MA 15+ rating and was filed by EA on September 17th. If this is true, I’d assume that the game would be a port. Wait, is this really true?!
