MEGA-COOL!

This past week I got a relatively random e-mail asking me if I wanted a free copy of the latest issue of Nintendo Power, which contained exclusive Kid Icarus: Uprising AR cards. I figured “Why the hell not?” and gave them my address, only to get the magazine a few days later and sit around baffled as to how I was going to turn this into an article. Some people would say “Think about this before you give them your address, Austin!”, but I’m more of a ‘Get free stuff now, figure out the article later’ kind of guy.

So I e-mailed the guy last night and asked if there was anything in particular he wanted me to showcase, and he said not to worry about it and just write whatever I want. So here I am, writing whatever I want and realizing how much I like magazines. I’m not currently subscribed to any, and there aren’t really any out there I want to be subscribed to all that much, but just the idea of a magazine is cool. A physical booklet filled with information about something you know and love? Something you can carry with you anywhere and have something to read when you’re stuck waiting for a train or lounging about during break time at work? I think that’s so great. I really do. But with the internet, can those types of things really survive?

I say yes, but they need to start approaching it differently.

The final two (or should I say three?) images in the gallery are “official concept art” that will be used for pre-order bonuses. Specifically, they’ll be placed on stickers, clear files, pouches, and notebooks.

Two 3DS titles from Renegade Kid remain in limbo. Neither Planet Crashers nor ATV Wild Ride 3D have been released yet.

Both were originally announced as retail games, but they may end up on the eShop instead. The final decision lies in the hands of publisher Ignition Entertainment.

Based on what we found out about Order Up on Thursday, it’s more than possible that Planet Crashers and ATV Wild Ride 3D will skip store shelves for the 3DS’ digital store.

Super Mario Kart just got more realistic. One fan has combined an exercise bike with an Arduino microcontroller, sensors, and switches into a comparable SNES controller.

According to YouTube uploader “statuswoe”:

“Peddling at a certain rate holds down the A button to accelerate, left and right are buttons on the handlebars and there is a red button in the middle of the handlebars for using special items.”

I could imagine this becoming tiring after a short while, but it’s certainly a unique way to play Super Mario Kart.

Zombie Panic in Wonderland is coming to the 3DS eShop in some form. Akaoni Studios is currently considering whether the studio should revamp the title entirely or implement some new gameplay mechanics.

Development began not too long ago, so we’ll probably need to wait a few months before we see Zombie Panic in Wonderland on the eShop.

The May 15 edition of CoroCoro will contain another significant update on Pokemon Black/White 2. The magazine will also be detailing something that is labeled in the current issue as “New Pokémon Scoop”. Keep in mind that this doesn’t necessarily mean that CoroCoro will be revealing new Pokemon next month.
