Fun with the Nintendo Wii and DS:)

Rayman Raving Rabbids - TV Party

2010-04-15T00:49:00.000-04:00

Rayman Raving Rabbids - TV Party was a pretty interesting game. They take over every channel in the game and you have to find a way to get the bunnies out of your TV before they destroy your daily viewing. You use the Wii remote and nunchuck, and you can also use the Wii balance board for the little mini games that this game has. There are many mini games like dancing, playing music, shooting, and much more. It's a pretty fun game and the little rabbits in the game are pretty funny too. :)

Lego Batman (Wii)

2010-04-15T00:43:00.000-04:00

In Lego Batman, Batman's greatest foes like the Joker, the Penguin, Catwoman, and Poison Ivy all escape from the Arkham Asylum and cause mayhem throughout Gotham City. Batman and Robin build little objects to help them defeat some of the enemies throughout this game. You fight on land or sea. You an either play as Batman and Robin trying to save the city or you can play as the criminals, causing chaos for the city. I didn't get a chance to beat this game, but I did get pretty far. It started getting confusing to me! But overall, it was an okay game to play.

My Sims (Wii/DS)

2010-04-15T00:32:00.000-04:00

My Sims is a game for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS. I actually like the one for the Wii system better because you can't do quite as much on the DS game. When you get started on the game (for the Wii system), you basically customize and build your own town. You can create your own sim and its appearance, and unlock new clothing as you befriend other sims. You can harvest trees, plant trees, go digging for gold, trade items for other things, decide who can/cannot live in your little town, and socialize with who you please. This game can be so addictive, just like the regular Sims PC game. This game may be more focused on a younger crowd, but I enjoy the game, as long as I can get myself OFF of playing it!!

Mario Party 8 (Wii)

2010-04-15T00:13:00.000-04:00

Mario Party 8 is a family type of game. Any and everyone can play it, and it is the most simple thing there is. You pick whichcharacter you want to be and pick which board you want to play on and you hit a dice to decide who goes first, and you go around the board and play little mini games. There are four player games (yes, up to four people can actually play this game), 1 VS 3, 2 VS 2, and duels. It's a fun game if you want to get everyone together to play. The point of the game is to get first place. And if you are playing by yourself and you win, you unlock the mini games to play without having to go to an actual board.

The Legendary Starfy

2010-04-14T21:09:00.000-04:00

The Legendary Starfy is about a Star setting out to help a bunny friend find his way home to his kingdom to defeat the enemy that has taken over. There are many different levels where Starfy is in the ocean and on land. He has different abilities to attack his enemies and can also transform to another creature with the help of his bunny friend. This game is also WI-FI able, so you can play it with someone else that has the game. The Legendary Starfy is aimed for a younger audience, but I still find the game fun and interesting.

Mortal Kombat Armageddon (Wii)

2010-04-14T21:00:00.000-04:00

This game is basically just like the old Mortal Kombat fighting games. It has the same characters as before plus some new ones. Sometimes I like Mortal Kombat, but the grusomeness is not for me, and plus Mortal Kombat is one of the games that I completely suck at! This game also has a little racing game, but you can somehow run over each other or something (weird right?). If you like fighting games like this, then the game is for you. If not, then i wouldn't even bother because honestly, you'd be wasting your money. This is an okay game, to me anyway.

Mario & Luigi - Bowser's Inside Story (DS)

2010-04-14T20:56:00.001-04:00

At the beginning of this game, all of the little Toads in Mushroom Kingdome get something called blorps because of this crazy character that is trying to take over Kingdom. Mario and Luigi go to the kingdom to try to figure out what is wrong and Bowser ends up showing up. He then somehow sucks everything up including some of the toads and Mario and Luigi. It is then up to Mario and Luigi to collect some stars and Bowser helps as well, to defeat the enemy, save Princess Peach, and save the kingdom. I've been playing this game, havn't beaten it yet, but I am having fun playing it. :)

Super Mario Galaxy

2010-04-14T14:59:00.001-04:00

Super Mario Galaxy is a pretty different game, to me anyway. You are on a little "planet" (as Mario) walking around trying to unlock other galaxies and to help save Princess Peach's castle, because it was taken from where it was on Earth. The game keeps going and going, but in each little galaxy, there are a bunch of different levels. You can also eventually unlock Luigi in this game, and you can unlock a few other options too. Very fun and time consuming game.

Mario Power Tennis (Wii)

2010-04-13T23:07:00.001-04:00

Wow, if you want a major workout for your ARM, this is definately one of the games for you. It's just a regular tennis game, but you are swinging the remote to get the ball to the other side. You get to choose your character, just like any other game, and I believe each character has their own stats, just like the older games. And if you want to run back and forth for a little more exercise, by all means, do it. It's actually a pretty good workout on a Mario game!

Diner Dash (DS)

2010-04-13T22:51:00.001-04:00

Diner Dash is just like the original PC game! I absolutely LOVE it, and i don't know why. It's just addictive. All you are doing is placing the people at certain tables (and make sure you can match the colors of the people as much as possible for more points), take orders, take the orders to the tables, give deserts, and just make sure the customers are happy. Pretty simple right? The more points, the better (of course). You get to choose decorations for the places too, because most of the places you start off at (diners) are run down. I really enjoy this game, although it's repetitive. Very fun :)

My Chinese Coach (DS)

2010-04-13T22:48:00.003-04:00

So this game is pretty much the title. It COACHES you to learn another language. There are many other versions of this, like My Spanich Coach, My French Coach, etc. I chose this game in particular because I am half Chinese and would like to learn a little of the language. It has many little mini games that you can practice with, like reading games and writing. It also allows you to speak into the microphone which is on the DS to practice talking the language as well. I think these kind of games are very good because you get to play games and learn something at the same time.

Super Mario 64 (DS)

2010-04-13T22:45:00.001-04:00

I absolutely LOVE this game. It is just like the Super Mario 64 game off of the Nintendo 64, but with a few extra characters. This game has not only Mario, but Luigi, Wario, and Yoshi. You start off as Yoshi and you go throughout a few of the levels of certain worlds to keep unlocking more worlds and of course to unlock the other characters. You also chase around little rabbits to gain access to mini games which is also included in the Super Mario 64 game for the DS. This game is loads of fun, and a little different, so if you liked the Super Mario 64 on the N64, then this game will be perfect for you!

Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? (Wii)

2010-04-13T22:34:00.001-04:00

Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader is based on the television game show. You get to choose the student who will help you with a question if you seem to be stumped, and you get to choose your categories just like the in the game show. Obviously, you would choose the category that you think will be the easiest for you to answer! Example? An organism that lives off of and benefits another organism is... mutualistic. Yeah, I would definately NOT know that, just because I dont remember everything from when I was in the 5th grade!! I really do like this game, it can sometimes make you feel stupid because you can't remember everything, but it's funny. Great game :)

Super Paper Mario for the Wii

2010-04-11T21:31:00.001-04:00

Super Paper Mario is an advernture game where you can flip back and forth from 2D to 3D. There's a team of four which includes Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Bowser, and some little Pixels, which go around deafeating the enemies to gain access to 8 "Pure Hearts." You have to collect them to defeat this one character that is turning the whole world into nothing but blackness because he is taking over. The game has alot of "talking," but it's really fun if that's the kind of game you are into. You have to know what you are doing and have patience for a game like this and you have to LIKE games like this or else this is not the one for you!

Super Smash Bros Brawl

2010-04-11T21:20:00.001-04:00

Super Smash Bros Brawl for the Nintendo Wii is just like the old ones from the previous systems. It's a fighting game against different characters from the Mario games, Star Fox games, etc. You fight each other for VS or you can fight against the computer to win little items within the game or to open characters up. I usually really suck at these kind of games, but it's fun, and its actually a game that EVERYONE can play (Well it's rated T for teen, but I dont see why little kids can't play its not that serious). There's none of that bloody goreing nasty stuff going on. You can also play this NEVER ENDING (it ends, it just seems like it doesn't) game where you travel around and keep fighting all these enemies until you get to the very end (which I have yet to do). If anyone has ever beaten it, let me know what happens!

Professor Layton and The Curious Village (DS)

2010-04-11T21:15:00.002-04:00

Professor Layton and The Curious Village is a very interesting game. I played it on my friend's DS because I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not. Within the first 5 minutes, I was actually into it. It's suppose to be like a "detective" game, full of puzzles. I didn't want to stop playing because it seems like it was going to just get better and better. This game could actually go on and on for the longest. The characters in this game, which would be Professor Layton, and a kid named Luke work their way through a villages puzzles, riddles, and brainteasers to find the truth of where a wealthy dead man's treasure is located. Loads of fun if you like mind challenging games like this!

Mario Kart Wii

2010-04-11T21:07:00.003-04:00

Mario Kart Wii is like the FIRST GAME that I actually bought for my Wii. It's the same as the other Mario Kart games which were on the Super NES, the N64, and the Nintendo Gamecube. The only thing that is really different is that you can use a wheel that come with the game or you can buy it seperately. It's really fun :). Anyone who has the wheel can use it to play the game, or you can just use the nunchuk and remote. There are a few tracks on the game that came from the older Mario Kart games, and you can use bikes AND karts in this game. This is a very fun game to play with your family or with friends, just to have a good time.

Namco Museum DS

2010-03-30T13:04:00.001-04:00

This game kind of goes along with the Classic games. It has Pac-Man, Galaga, Xevious, Dig Dug II, Galaxian, Mappy, and Tower of Druaga. This little DS game, as you can see, has 7 classic arcade games, that I'm sure everyone loved when they were younger. Instead of going to a game arcade and spending dollars and dollars (in quarters of course), you can now have it on your very own hand held Nintendo DS!

Classis NES Games

2010-02-24T22:17:00.006-05:00

So, I've discovered with the Nintendo Wii, you can get on a shopping channel that is on there (as long as you have internet connection to it).

I was browsing the games that they have listed and there are a bunch of games from the classic nintendo system, the super nintendo, the nintendo 64, and Sega. In order to get these games, you have to have Wii Points. You can either buy them through the network channel or you can go to any store that sells video games and buy 2000 points for $20 :)!

Okay, I'm guessing you guys have realized that I am obsessed with Mario (sad, I know), and i've bought Super Mario 3 from the classic NES, the old Mario Kart, a Ninja Turtle game that me and my brother played when I was little, and Super Mario from the Super Nintendo. OMG, the excitement!! :)

This is another GREAT FEATURE of the Nintendo Wii, and another reason why, I think, if you are into Nintendo games, you should definately invest in this system!

Nintendo Wii- Tatsunko Vs. Capcom

2010-02-18T00:02:00.001-05:00

Okay, so i'm such a loser. I just HAD to go and get this game. The main reason I wanted the game is because there are a few characters from Street Fighter in it, and when I was younger, I LOVED street fighter! So, this game is like the arcade game, you know, the typical fighting game. There's a bunch of characters that I have no idea where they came from, but I really like the game. It's not all nasty-like, with the blood and what not like Mortal Kombat has. I still don't really know how to play, so until I can get good at it, I will continute to push random buttons to beat the game! haha.

New Super Mario Bros

2010-02-17T23:57:00.002-05:00

So, i'm such a nerd, and i absolutely LOVE Mario. The New Super Mario Bros game is really fun, atleast i think so (I guess i'm a little game nerd :( haha). The game is actually very similar to the older games, in a way, but there are different little outfit things (i dont know what to call them). There's a fllying one with little helicopter things on his head, the old school flame thrower mario, and an ice mario... you can get big too :).
If you get stuck on a level and just keep dying (which i tend to do on HARDER levels...), the game will play it for you and you can then hit start towards the end of the stage and win and skip the course (i'm a cheater with that, haha). You can use Yoshi in the game too, but he doesn't go with you to other courses, which is lame, but the game overall is fun!! :)

Wii Fit/Wii Fit Plus

2010-02-11T12:20:00.002-05:00

The Wii Fit Plus is a great game to play solo or with a few people. It has many aerobic games, balance games, strenght activities, and yoga. The Wii Fit isn't just a game though. Many people have probably heard that it can help you lose weight, and I bet alot of people are like yeahhh right. Well it actually can. While you are having fun, you can lose a few pounds at the same time. I played for a week straight and lost 7 lbs! Not alot, but it was something. The only thing is that you have to keep at it to lose some weight. Its like havn't your own personal gym on the tv. lol :) It also tells you your BMI, if you are overweight or underweight... crazy right? It's really fun though!! If you dont have one, you should def. try it out!!

Nintendo Wii - Sports Resort

2010-02-04T20:35:00.001-05:00

If you have a Wii, and you don't have Sports Resort Motion Plus, you should def get it! This game has many mini games in it. All of the games are fun, but some are really tiring. There's bowling, swordplay, wakeboarding, basketball, canoeing, air sports, and a few more games that you can play. All these games are based around an "island" and they have their own set ups. It's a very social game; it brings people together for a fun time. :)

Nintendo WII!!

2010-01-31T02:13:00.004-05:00

So, its definatley 2:12 in the morning and my friends and I are playing Wii Bowling. The Wii is the SH!T!!! Its a great game to play and not show how drunk you are (so my friend says)! Haha. It's also great for social interaction."We're having a great time.... wish you were here? I bet you do :)"... not much to say in this blog, but if you don't own a Wii, you should invest in one!!! It's almost the greatest invention!! :)
