The title of this post is a quote from the user haccess on page six of the thread. Pretty much sums it all up, as this could have repercussions on the DS homebrew scene, which Nintendo has been ignoring. This could change that. or not.

Stupid me, I should have done a bit of googling first, as it turns out that Mario Paint DS is supposedly on the way this year, and there will be a version out for the Wii as well. Old news then. Finally.... it's too bad that the Mario Paint updates for the Japan-only N64 DD never saw release rudyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15358381284231117954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26039467.post-1150689090811368412006-06-18T20:47:00.000-07:002006-06-18T20:52:25.686-07:00excitebike flash gameKotaku has a post up about this excitebike flash game, and I highly suggest you check it out.
The Endless mode is especially fun... the movelist is actually kind of deep. It doesn't play anything like actual Excitebike, however.
Also, SF II is still not up for download on XBLA. wankers.rudyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15358381284231117954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26039467.post-1150618450458811972006-06-18T00:52:00.000-07:002006-06-18T01:14:10.470-07:00Speaking of Oblivion DownloadsThe newest(6th altogether, 5 content downloads and one free patch, all just under 3 months after the game's release), Mehrune's Razor, packs quite a bit more bang for your 250 marketplace points than you may have been coming to expect.

I haven't done much handheld gaming since my GBA was stolen a couple of years ago, and I've really been missing my good ol' gaming-on-the-go. I took it up to work a couple of nights (this wonderful documentary will explain more about what it is exactly that I do) and it rudyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15358381284231117954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26039467.post-1148688238538363382006-05-26T16:10:00.000-07:002006-05-27T13:26:24.576-07:00The Console War gets more interestingMicrosoft is surely playing the "first out of the gate" card better than SEGA was able to in the last generation, with April's sales figures (due in no small part to the release of TES IV: Oblivion, I'm sure, but also thanks to renewed availability of the 360 itself) driving that point home.

I'm a male in my twenties from the Southeast United States. I have interests other than gaming, but this blog isn't about any of those. I have been gaming for 20 years.
