Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is a re-release of the Wii version Monster Hunter Tri that introduced gamers to the world of monster hunting back in 2010. Does this remake for the 3DS and Wii U warrant the purchase price or is it simply a "been there, done that" type of game? Read on to find out.
The console market is changing.
Good things come for those who wait.Are you still on the fence about buying the newest Nintendo console? Well, Nintendo hopes to help make your decision in their favor with a new Wii U bundle available Sunday February 17th. The exclusive bundle entitled, The Wii U ZombiU Deluxe Set, will include a Deluxe Wii U (32GB), a Pro Controller, a copy of ZombiU with an art book and developer commentary, a download of Nintendo Land and enrollment in the Deluxe Digital Promotion. The MSRP for the new bundle is $390. Since launching last November, Nintendo has sold 3 million Wii U units. I can only imagine Nintendo is trying to attract gamers to their system before the potential unveiling of both the PS3 and XBOX 360 successors in the coming weeks. Will you be going out and purchasing this new bundle, are you still hesitant on shelling out your hard earned money on a system that is losing exclusive rights to video games (Rayman Legends), or are you content without having the Wii U in your collection?
On February 4th, 2013 the latest in the Fire Emblem series comes in the United States. Fire Emblem Awakening will continue the turn based series by following Lord Chrom and how he gathers an army of companions to save the world from a rising evil. Man does that sound like an over used plot device. But lets admit, it is not the destination we play games for, it is the journey. In this tradition choices you make have an effect on the game play. Say there is a character that you have become really attached to and then they die in battle? Well they are dead for the rest of the game, so be careful.
Click for a bigger view of this awesome 3DS.OK, to be honest I have never played an Fire Emblem game. And turn based games are not my forey. So why would I care about this? Well the release is part of a 3DS bundle. And this bundle, like a number of other bundles it has a special design on it. This blue 3DS has a freaking dragon on it. I don't even play my current 3DS and I want this bundle. Look forward to it at an MSRP of $199.99 in a few weeks. If you are more interested in the game check out more information on it at http://fireemblem.nintendo.com/.
Lets start this with a little background. Monster High is a Mattel property focused towards, what I am guessing, young girls. More on it can be found at the official site. Seeing that I do not have any kids this made reviewing Monster High: Skultimate Roller Maze for the Wii and DS a tough order. It is obviously not pointed towards me, but I enjoy a challenge. So I popped the game in and started my first journey into this world of teen monsters.Happy Thanksgiving geeks of the world! A new console has been released and most the games.
The notes for this week can be found here.
OK, after one week of not recording due to unreleated events we return.
Notes and a picture of a Dalek cake are here.
It appears that Nintendo is not going to let the Wii go quietly into the dark. Just a short time ago they announced a price drop and a new bundle for those that had yet to purchase a Wii, and now they have added fuel to that fire. Today Nintendo has announced two more Wii bundles.
The first of these bundles is a White Wii that will come with a matching Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuck as well as Ubisofts Just Dance 4. This bundle has an MSRP of $129.99. The other bundle is a blue Wii with matching Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuck. Its big difference is that it will come with Skylanders Giant, one portal of power, two Skylanders characters and one exclusive Giant Skylander. This system has an MSRP of $149.99 attached to it. More money for more physical items I supposed.
Both of these bundles are set to be in stores on Nov 4, 2012 and will be availble in limited quantities. At least that is how I read "while supplied last" in the press release. What the starting supplies are though is anybody guess.
