Your random video for the day: Reggie loses at Mario Kart 7

I have absolutely no idea what Reggie was doing in the first half of the race. He straightens things out midway through, but couldn’t recover once he fell into a ditch and got hit by a Piranha Plant.
Thanks to Jake for the tip!

Kid Icarus: Uprising to support the Circle Pad Pro
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Kid Icarus: Uprising will make use of the Circle Pad Pro. Designer Masahiro Sakurai confirmed the news to ONM.
Players control the game by using the Circle Pad to move Pit when he’s on land while the touch screen is used to move the camera. The Circle Pad Pro will allow gamers to handle touch screen usage with their left hand and move Pit with their right hand. This will certainly be very beneficial for left-handed users.
Sakurai explained:
“The way we are using the Circle Pad Pro in the game is to provide support for left-handed gamers. We’ve made it possible to use the right Circle Pad in place of the left one.”
The Circle Pad Pro won’t be implemented in any other way. In other words, it doesn’t sound like you’ll be able to use the extra analog nub to control the camera – that’ll always be done on the touch screen.
“I didn’t know the specs of the Circle Pad Pro, or what it looked like, until Monster Hunter 3G was announced, so we weren’t able to do anything big with it in the time we had. Even if we had known about it from the start, I don’t know whether we would have used both Circle Pads in that way. This would end up being just the same as controls on other platforms and I think the quick aiming possible with the touch panel suits the game best.”

This Mario Kart ripoff is insane
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Surely some of you remember Duludubi Star. For those of you who may have forgotten, it’s a PC title that garnered a great deal of attention for its resemblance to Super Mario Galaxy.
There’s another Chinese-made gaming ripoff in development, and I have a feeling that it will soon be as notorious as Duludubi Star.
This “new” game – unfortunately I don’t have title to give you folks – is for the App Store. It mimics just about everything from Mario Kart Wii: tracks, power-ups, and objects including item boxes. Heck, even the graphics are comparable.
This is by far the craziest Nintendo-related ripoff I’ve seen since Duludubi Star. I’d say that it’s even worse than Super Jump Bros!
You can find a few screenshots of the App Store game above. If that’s not enough to convince you that it’s a very blatant ripoff, perhaps this trailer will convince you.
