Jasper’s Nintendo News!!
For the week of 8/4/07
Welcome fans, to another episode of JNN!
Let’s begin with a list of the new games out/coming.
Super Mario Galaxy
For the Wii, 1-2 players
S.M.G. looks very good. Not much is known, but from the name I’m guessing it might be a remake of old games. A fun idea, to be sure. Due for November 12 ’07.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
For the Wii, 1-4 players
S.S.B.B. is like a god to all Wii owners. Wow. For those of you that don’t know, S.S.B.B. is the 3rd generation of a button-masher with popular 3D Nintendo characters on a 2D plane. Totally awesome. This is like the RockBand for the Wii. You need it. If you want info, pics and cool stuff about it, check the ‘official’ site at
Smash Bros. DOJO!!
Wicked. Gamespot ranks it #1 anticipated on the Wii.
Comes out December 3/07. GET IT!!
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
For the Wii, 1 player
Metroid. Samus. Aliens. Girl in big suit. Ring a bell? All I can say is that anyone actually wanting to get ANY of the good games this season are going to be paying it off for YEARS. Yay. Anyhoo, Metroid is a 1st-person space shooter game that’s been going for a LONG time. It seems like a pretty good game, and they could do some interesting things with the Wiimote, but it’s been screwed up before *coughRED STEELcough*.
Who knows. Definitely a good choice for your money, though. Due for August 27 ’07. Quick quick, reserve it!
Wii Fit
For the Wii
Wii Fit is like a step up from Wii Sports and etcetera. It comes with a board for exercise and yoga and other things. Interesting, if I do say so myself, that they think this will be very popular. We’ll have to see. Not much is known about this, including the release date. We’ll have to see.
Tech Alien
I’ve heard some about this, but I can’t find it online. Oh well.
OUT NOW
Mega Man Starforce: Dragon
For the DS, 1 player
Not an excellently done game, say the critics. Megaman is a 2D shooter. Maybe you’ll like it, maybe not. Given a 6 by Gamespot.
Mario Strikers Charged
For the Wii, 1-4 players.
Mario Strikers Charged is the much-hyped sequel of Mario Strikers. It’s a soccer game with your favorite Nintendo characters playable. You kick, tackle and special your way to the opposing goal, then charge up your strike and slam it past the goalie’s waiting fingers.
Seems like a lot of fun. Given 7.5 by Gamespot.
Boogie
For the Wii, 1 player
Boogie is a sort of spawn-off of the guitar hero and Rockband legacies, except you only sing and dance. All the same, it looks fun, though critics and users seem not to like it. Gamespot gave it a 5.5. Ouch. I think the $60 might be a little too much. Oh well.
TALK
Now the talk that’s going around.
Adventure Mode For S.S.B.B.
The new Super Smash Bros. game is rumored to have a
story mode, with an actual storyline. Sounds good, like yet another thing that’ll be good about it. Woot!
This has been
JNN, and remember, if you want those pesky zombies away, use a cheese sandwich. It works every time.
