Will You Be Playing Nintendo DS at 100 Years Old?

Steve — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 18:54:35 +0000

People often assume “gamers” are younger, but this 100 year-old lady proves them wrong. She says she keeps her brain active by playing on her Nintendo. She plays all day, trying several games. Her current “brain age” is 64 on word searching. It really is helping, and she suggest children to use them at school.

Rhythm Heaven Fever – Short Gameplay Trailer

Mickey — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:56:18 +0000

The game is played with the Wii Remote held vertically, with players required to either tap the A button, or squeeze the A and B buttons together. Like previous titles, the game features various levels with their own set of rules, requiring the player to play in time to the rhythm in order to clear them. These levels range from stabbing peas with a fork, to attacking evil spirits with a sword and playing badminton in midair. At the end of each level, players are ranked on their performance, with at least an ‘Okay’ rank required to clear the level and progress onto the next. Each set of levels culminates in a Remix stage, which combines all the gameplay elements of the previous levels in one stage. There are a total of 50 levels divided across 10 sets.

Clearing levels with a Superb/High Level rating earns medals which unlock extra content, including Rhythm Toys, Endless Minigames and levels from the original Rhythm Tengoku. Levels that have been cleared with a Superb rating may also be randomly selected for a Perfect attempt, in which the player can try to clear the level without making any mistakes with the maximum of 3 retries before the perfect challenge disappear.

New to the series (bar the Arcade version of Rhythm Tengoku) is a multiplayer mode, in which two players can play simultaneously. Levels played in multiplayer require players to earn enough points in total to reach the desired rank and clear each stage, with bonus points awarded based on the harmony of the players. These levels come with their own set of medals which can unlock multiplayer minigames.

Wii U to Not Play GameCube, DVD, or Blu-Ray

Steve — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 12:37:28 +0000

During CES 2012, the Game Guys over at news10.net were able to get an interview with Nintendo of America’s Vice President of Corporate Affairs, Cindy Gordon. Among the questions they ask, many focus on the backward capability and movie-disc playback of the system. According to Gordon, it looks like our assumptions were correct. As of now, it looks like the Wii U will not play GameCube, DVD, or Blu-Ray discs.

Will this be a smart move for the Big N? As of now, they have side-stepped DVDs, but instead offered things like Netflix and [soon] Hulu Plus. With the digital distribution era upon us, is it smart for Nintendo to keep this mindset with their next home console? On top of that, will many GameCube fans be upset? Many years have passed since GameCube, and your Wii does still play those games. Granted, that is unless you have recently purchased your Wii, which now does not support GameCube games/controllers.

Check out the video interview below.

REVIEW – Nano Assault (3DS)

Jeremy — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 15:04:18 +0000

A review by Jeremy Hardin

Game – Nano Assault
Version – 3DS
Time Spent Playing – 5 hours
Obtained – Review Copy courtesy of Majesco Entertainment

As you can probably glean from the box art above, Nano Assault is a shooter, plain and simple. Make no mistake, vanilla it is not. Does anyone have any idea what I just said? It made sense in my head, but on paper not so much. Anyways, I digress. Nano Assault is shooter that takes you through some 30+ levels of chaotic, frenzied firefights as you race from one cellular structure to the next, collecting DNA sequences in order to rid the world of the Nanostray virus or something like that. The truth is, the story is quite brief and takes a distant back seat to the graphics and action that come at you from the very first level.Here is a quote from the official Nano Assault website.

“Stop the deadly Nanostray virus from spreading and contaminating civilization in Nano Assault, a fast-paced action shooter set within a visually stunning cellular system that leaps off the screen in full 3D. Control your microscopic Nanite ship inside the dangerous virus to fight off infections, navigate through alien cell clusters, battle bosses, and ultimately analyze and destroy the virus’ core to save humanity.”

See, I told you. The story isn’t important.

Gameplay and Controls

Players control their ship using the circle pad and fire using the A,B,X,Y buttons each of which shoot in a specific direction. Throughout the game you will also unlock a total of 4 secondary weapons, which are used by pressing either the L or R buttons. The secondary weapons are limited of course, but along the way certain enemies may drop a capsule which refills your secondary weapon gauge by 25%. Enemies also drop blue crystals which when you collect 100 you receive an extra life, these are quite useful at times! The gameplay is fast, frenetic and fun! During a level, you can press up on the D pad to display a 3D map of the level, which pinpoints DNA the locations of enemies and DNA structures. The map can be rotated for easy viewing and comes in handy often. The main game takes about 5 hours to beat, but that’s not the end. Once you beat the Story Mode, Boss Rush mode unlocks which is great for earning Nano Coins to use in the in game store. Arcade Mode is also available to extend your play time as you enter levels with specific challenges to beat. These challenges, once completed, also earn your Nano Coins. The Nano Coins can be used to purchase music tracks and to unlock Nanopedia information and while the information may be helpful, I found it more enjoyable just to look at the information itself. For example, you can unlock boss information and other enemies as well. What’s great about this is that you can see an animated version of the enemy/boss, zoom in using L and R and also view the creature in full 3D by rotating your 3DS. I was just sitting here in my office chair spinning around and checking out one of the creatures in a full 360 3D sweep, it was great! Here is a bulleted list breakdown of the game features, I grabbed this straight from the Nano Assault website.

Find, analyze, and destroy the Nanostray virus DNA with your Nanite vessel.

Harness the power of multiple weapons: Powerful Beams that lock onto enemies for instant impact; Energetic Bombs explode upon impact and launch devastating projectiles; Spins rotate around enemies in energy-draining orbs

Blast your way through 32 twisted cell stages and dark worlds with rugged landscapes that self-adjust in difficulty based on how you play.

Battle and defeat 10 extreme bosses including the Black Nucleus, Hyper Blobs, and Spore Plants to collect secondary weapons including lightning chains, electric flashes that destroy everything in close proximity, and the quick and powerful laser.

Test your skills in “Boss Rush” mode and battle bosses back-to-back!

Stunning gameplay aesthetic is set in a distinctive electron microscope inspired world.

Ignite purifying blasts to clear infections by collecting power-ups that defeated enemies leave behind.

Respawn and clone yourself along the journey to ensure successful missions. AutoSaving is available after each stage or section.

Extra features include Missions Mode, an unlockable arcade style cell stage where you must destroy enemies against a time counter trying to get the highest score, and Hall of Fame where you can publish your level scores and compare them with friends online.

Detailed enemy Nanopedia lets you unlock information containing strengths, weaknesses, and strategies to defeat them.

Visuals and Sound
I was and still am incredibly impressed by the visuals and the sounds. The 3D effect is so pronounced that most often times I had to adjust my slider down to halfway in order to fully enjoy the 3D. Not only that, but the graphics themselves are quite impressive. The water is absolutely stunning and the lighting itself is fantastic! The music is catchy, techno inspired and goes so well with this game. Plus, you get to listen to the music in the Jukebox on the main menu, if you purchase it of course. I am very happy that the developers went so far to include a Jukebox, plus the Nanopedia to enjoy the games assets even when not playing the main game. I wish that all developers would do this, it’s a big plus when deciding to purchase a game!

Concluding Overall Impressions

Nano Assault offers a combination of goodies with its impressive graphics, pronounced 3D effects, addictive gameplay, pleasing tunes, online leaderboards, boss rush modes and more! I know that what I say isn’t worth the words I’m typing because let’s face it, I’m not a professional games reviewer. So, I’m not going to pretend that what I say matters regarding this game. However, if you just want one gamers opinion, it’s this; buy Nano Assault on the 3DS, I really believe you’ll enjoy it!

Final Score: 5 out of 5
