The Olympics Have Arrived

I'm finally back. I was celebrating Christmas somewhere far, far away in a land where no computers exist.


Well, this Christmas I got some presents. And not much of them are good but hey, it's something. Also, someone gave me Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Christmas. Well, can't say I really wanted the game.


First of all, let me talk about the Instruction Manual: It's black and white! But the worst part is the "Character Section". All the Mario Character Artwork is all blurry and weird, while the Sonic Character Artwork is nice and clean. I bet Sega did this on purpose.


Now for the game itself. It's basically a Mario Party game without the game boards and with Sonic and his friends/enemies. But the mini-games are actually fun and there's many unlockables. Also the 3D Character animation is nice and clean. I like it!


I've only played the game a little bit and it's fun. I can't say yet if I recommend it or not. I have to play the game a little more...

A Fake Legend

So I got Link's Crossbow Training and it ain't the best game out there you now. But it's just $20 for the Wii Zapper and the game...that's cool right? The game is of course short however you'll definatly play this game more than Wii Play. This game is way funner than Wii Play.


I'm disappointed that Nintendo didn't turn this game into an adventure. Yes a game where Link goes around Hyrule with a gun (Crossbow) shooting his enemies. It would be a lot funner than this game...


But I still love this game and I'm happy with it. Meanwhile, I found this website with various awesome picture of someone dressing up as Link. I'm totally jealous! I want that costume so badly!


I know it tells you on the site the directions to making it but you know...I'm so lazy and stuff that I prefer buying the costume off EBay. But that would be too much money...I mean have you seen how much the Link Costumes are worth?!


Well...for now I'll just enjoy Link's Crossbow Training. Oh...that reminds me...I have to play Wind Waker a little more. I haven't played for...four days...

I'm a flying Bee! Again!

Today, in the morning, I called GameStop to see if they had Mario Galaxy even thought they said it would arrive the 13th. They said it would be here in about two hours. So I was like "ok thanks". So then, two hours later I went to GameStop and of course-Mario Galaxy was there. They had recieved the copies early.


Because I had pre-ordered Galaxy I got the coin with Mario flying and the yellow star named Tyke. The back of the coin has "SUPER MARIO GALAXY" written on it. The coin is also larger and heavier than I expected it to be! It's like...the size of seven pennies!


The game so far is sweet, cool, but it has a small problem. I get dizzy very easily in some parts of this game. Oh and the original seven Koopalings (not Koopakids, not Bowser Jr. or Baby Bowser) don't appear in the game which is very sad. But Bowser Jr. however DOES appear. Hopefully, he gets lost in the middle of nowhere in the end of the game.

Things I've noticed in the game (MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! YOU WERE WARNED!):

-The original Super Mario 64 "Bowser Stage" music is found in this game again!
-F.L.U.D.D. from Mario Sunshine is now an enemy. Actually, look-alikes of FLUDD are enemies (these look-alikes are red and spit fire).
-There's Super Mario Bros. 3 music.
-The music that plays where you're beating Bowser up is just plain cool.
-Urchins from Super Mario World appear in this game! Well, look-alikes.
-Unagi the Eel is not in the game but look-alikes (yes, again, look-alikes) are.
-Bowser now doesn't spit fireballs. He spits METEOR fireballs.
-Princess Peach sends letters to Mario throughout the adventure even though she's very far away.
-1-Up Mushrooms don't run away from you anymore.
-Penguins from Super Mario 64 are now more common.
-There are also two black penguins in the game.
-There is a Manta Ray named Ray. Such a creative name!
