Next Super Smash Bros

One of the best selling franchises in gaming, the Super Smash Bros series is coming soon. And you know what that means. FANDOM! There are so few people who dislike the series, even people who hate the Wii still think Brawl is cool. But enough of the Wii, what does the next Smash Bros game have install for the Wii U? Oh yeah, and the 3DS. The game has been confirmed to be cross platform between the Wii U and the 3DS. Cool right? More rumours about the game surface. The biggest two going about are character creation and the name. Apparently, in the new game, you can make your own character. Personally, I don't like the idea, but, whatever, it could be cool. The other rumour is that the name will be Super Smash Bros Universe. Hrrm. After bringing in Sonic the Hedgehog and Solid Snake into the fray, what others can we expect to see from a name like that? But, don't be reaching for your wallet just yet. The developer behind the new smash bros game hasn't even started work on it due to him currently working on Kid Icarus: Uprising. But still, looking forward to it are we?

Why Skyward Sword is the only true Wii game to get motion control right:

After countless minigames and wagglefests released on Nintendo's console, there is finally a game which truly makes motion not only a feature of the game, but the star. After hurting our wrists and shattering bones playing things like Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games and Carnival party, we realised that the motion gaming was pretty annoying and very painful, so when games like Super Mario Galaxy came along and utilised the motion instead of abusing it, we all felt a little better. The first game that really made motion work on the system was another Zelda game: Twilight Princess. Although it was released on Gamecube as well, the motion controls for Twilight Princess were awesome. Aiming was very easy and intuitive and even the menus were made simpler to navigate. And although it might not seem like much, Twilight Princess allowed players to swing their sword while running to cut grass. To many, this won't seem like much of a big deal, but this is actually pretty helpful when it comes to the game. However, the substitution of a button press for a Wii mote shake as a form of attack wasn't really useful or interesting at all. It was Skyward Sword the really made motion work, for the first time ever in a video game. The sword combat is excellent. It's not longer waiting for skulltalas to turn around, instead, you'll have to study and memorise enemy blocking and attacking patterns to defeat even the simplest foe. Using items like the slingshot work almost identically to Twilight Princess, but new items like the beetle could not be done without the new and improved motion controls. Things like flying your Loftwing is made fun and engaging thanks to Nintendo's idea. It took the whole of the Wii's lifespan to get it, but it finally worked. Sure, every now and then, the controls will frustrate you, the bomb controls feel a little weird, but overall I can easily say that motion control is the way of the future for The Legend of Zelda.

What the hell is going on here?

LoZ: Four Swords- a Legend of Zelda MULTIPLAYER GAME!

The Other day, the three of us tried a game called Legend of Zelda Four swords. In terms of story, the game appears to be a direct sequal of Minish cap. (Although the game is the 25th anniversary edition. the orininal may have FAR more depth). This is the first Zelda game that we have played to feature Co-Op. not regular multiplayer like that of spirit tracks. ACTUAL CO-OP.
So if you have a 3ds, the game is available on the E-Store. Its free, so go get it.

Nintendo game of the Year

While they didn't release all that many games this year, Nintendo had a great few games which came out. Here are the nominees for the best Nintendo game of 2011:


The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D






















Super Mario 3D Land






















Lylat Wars 3D

Mario Kart 7

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Which one deserves to win GOTY? Tell us in the comments.

Mario Kart 7

To be honest, I've never been a huge Mario Kart fan. Sure, I've enjoyed it every time I've played it, but I only own Mario Kart DS. So far, my favourite one it Mario Kart Wii. I liked the graphics a lot and had a lot more fun than with the DS. With Mario Kart 7 for 3DS, I am actually pretty interested . For one, there are a few new features. You can glide at certain points, transforming part of your kart into a hang glider and you can go underwater. As always, there are 16 new tracks and 16 old ones, totalling at 32. The roster however, is a bit smaller than Mario Kart Wii going from about 25 to 17. But the biggest differences to this game are the options to customize the Karts and the ability to drive in 1st person. This a wealth of new features, all of which make the game more tempting. However, the reasons for me not being a huge fan of Mario Kart do pop up whenever I reach for my wallet. I don't know why, but I dislike the feature to be able to give any character any Kart after completing enough of the game. It just eliminates a section of choice. For instance, I liked the start of Mario Kart DS when I was deciding which character to use, but as the game progressed, I could put whoever I wanted in whichever Kart. That just made the game a little dull for me. But Mario Kart 7 has another claim to it which makes me consider. People are saying it's got the best online multiplayer of ANY Nintendo game. Now, if you are a nintendo fan, you will have had to grimace at the generally poor online functions of their consoles. So, what do you think of Mario Kart 7?

Links between Ocarina and Skyward sword

So I beat ganondorf in ocarina yesterday. Woot. while playing, i noticed something. Sheiks harp. then i went to see the skyward sword trailer. Zelda in skyward sword has a harp. THE SAME HARP AS SHEIKS!!!!!!! mere coincidence? I think not.
