1. Super Mario Bros. (NES)
2. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
3. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)
4. Mario Kart Wii (Wii)
5. Tetris (Game Boy)
6. Super Mario 64 (N64)
7. Super Mario World (SNES)
8. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)
9. Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (Wii)
10. Super Street Fighter II (SNES)

These aren’t bad choices at all, but I personally would not rate Mario Kart Wii as the fourth best Nintendo title of all time.

Thanks to joclo for the news tip.

To his surprise he finds that this planet is inhabited by little green people who are happily living in a white picket fence world, reminiscent of a cheerfully innocent 1950s America, and whose only fear is that it will be overrun by alien invaders…like Chuck! With the help of his robot companion “Rover”, and his new friend Lem, Chuck must navigate his way through the dazzling, but bewildering, landscape of Planet 51 in order to escape becoming a permanent part of the Planet 51 Alien Invaders Space Museum.

Meet the Hilarious Parodied Personalities from ‘Ready 2 Rumble: Revolution’ at the Official Website

Atari comes out swinging with the launch of the official website for Ready 2 Rumble: Revolution at www.ready2rumblerevolution.com. Visitors to the site will be introduced to the larger-than-life personalities from the game through videos featuring voiceover by Alan Ford, the British actor who portrayed the tough-talking ‘Brick Top’ in the acclaimed 2000 movie Snatch. In the Ready 2 Rumble: Revolution videos, Ford brings his inimitable cockney delivery to bear as hard-talking boxing promoter Diamond Jim who really takes the gloves off when introducing the likes of Mosh Deck’em and old friend Fight Clubber.

Ready 2 Rumble: Revolution features a roster of 18 wildly caricatured cartoony would-be boxers from the worlds of sports, music and movies. The introductory videos narrated by Alan Ford give a lively blow by blow account of the fighting histories and gruelling training regimes of these super-sized egos.

Ready 2 Rumble: Revolution is scheduled for European release exclusively for Wii on 17 March 2009. For more information on Ready 2 Rumble Revolution, visit www.ready2rumblerevolution.com

Handhelds

– Article up going through all of the Nintendo handhelds
– Nintendo been updating handhelds every 1-2 years
– GBA and DS were supposed to coexist but that didn’t happen
– Bozon feels more could have been done with GBA before moving on to the DS
– TMNT game that came out on consoles wasn’t good but one on GBA was a lot of fun

Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop

– An average but fun game for Wii
– Had to cut a lot of corners to put it on Wii
– Cut out the ability to use camera
– Daemon still has fun mowing down zombies
– Average but totally average and playable game
– Short game – under 10 hours
– Will probably be a rental for most people
– When you use certain weapons zombies just wait to be killed
– Game is really easy – might have scaled back the difficulty
– The point: Daemon had fun playing it, could have been a lot worse, could have been a lot better
– Zombies pop up out of nowhere
– Using the RE4 engine but doesn’t look as good as RE4
– Craig thinks it’s strange to use the RE engine for Dead Rising – different kinds of designs

“We are not talking to one person alone, with all his or her attention as we did on our previous projects. We can’t fool him or her with pretty graphics and trippy music alone anymore. On the Wii… you get distracted. It’s part of the package. People interrupt. A discussion starts. So we are basically talking to very short-attention-span audience. The good part of this is that you must be really incisive about your game. You also have to keep it simple (and hopefully not stupid, unless intentionally). Also, we want to keep on talking to kids, even more than what we did [with] BBM, and the Wii audience is cool for that. We will try some hopefully clever tricks, even for the solo mode, on how the game can adapt to things actually happening in the living room where you play,” he explains, giving use a glimpse of one idea: “Say you are a father, playing by yourself a nice level of the solo Arcade mode. Your 4-year-old daughter comes in and wants to join. What’s her mood today? Does she want to help you fight the baddies, or does she want to have fun tickling them so they can get crazy and annoy you more?” – Arkedo’s Camille Guermonprez

– Looking to include solo Arcade mode based on Big Bang Mini DS
– Five worlds from DS version will be revisited
– Higher resolution
– More multiplayer modes
– Want to include some tricks
– Handicapping is planned
– Apparently controls well
