Not Ready for the Band.

The Internet’s aflutter after famed resident of the Nintendo world, Diddy, announced on his Twitter page that he was not in fact tying the knot, not in any time soon at least. Reportedly, the links from around the web have been greatly exaggerated; Diddy is not in fact linked to Koko of Woodside, California or Bingo of the Banana Splits, in any nuptial kind of way – though the Bingo and Diddy were seen leaving together from the posh club, Bowser’s Castle, last week. In fact, Diddy was incredulous when confronted with the internet rumor maelstrom, saying:

His Mistake Was Addressing This To All Blogs.

I belive it’s self explainitory.

thats a barbed gun that shoots penuts.

yes thats the teletubie sun in the background.

hear the bass go boom EXPLOSION

diddy kong's role as a cop who dosn't play by the rules and lives life on the edge in the movie "cop who dosn't play by the rules and lives life on the edge."

It makes sense right?

Now anwser me this should I keep releasing small things like this or should I release Commander Falcon. COMMENTS!!!!

When I run gekko and use codes my game freezes durring the strap loader. i’ve tried without the my custom strap Loader PAC file, it still crashes. When I loaded the game using the Wii Menu, it worked fine.

Failed Trys to Fix Problems.

-Removing strap PAC.

-Adding most menu files on to my SD card.

-Running a dianostic scan on my SD card and recovering bad sectors.

-Remaking the RSBE01.gct file

-Updating Gekko OS.

I’m going to try a different SD card. This sucks because I was going to release so cool stuff today to, but I need pics to show you guys. heres a list of things I was going to release.

-Beam Sword = Ganondorf’s Sword

-Ray Gun = Diddy Penut Popgun

-Explosive Crate = Tingle(because I think it would be fun blowing up Tingle)

-Diddy Penut Popgun = Wolf’s Blaster

If someone on the team is willing to test these out for me and take pictures if I send these to them. I will be greatfull.

Let me clarify something right from the start. The final smashes on the list are not necessarily the most effective but they are the coolest final smashes. This game is great and provides hours of entertainment. I’m usually Pikachu, who is one of the most annoying characters in the game next to Pit. I pretty much use two attacks, the lightning and the charge up jump at the other players thing. I’m not good at this game at all, but if you’re right above I’m gonna use the lightning attack and kill you.

Anyway, let’s start the countdown.

#10 Captain Falcon

Captain Falcon’s smashes is pretty cool and powerful. You just have to have the right position and time it right.

#9 Sonic

Sonic becomes really fast and just wreaks havoc. I’ve heard that this is easier to control than Pikachu’s Final Smash.

#8 Diddy Kong

Exploding peanut guns. Just what I always wanted. It’s a powerful smash that lasts for a while. There’s really no avoiding it.

#7 Olimar

He’s probably the worst player in the game but his final smash is awesome. You slowly have your health taken away and then you’re blown off the screen.

#6 Fox/Falco/Wolf

This smash is great. You could crush, push, and shoot other players off the stage.

#5 Snake

This smash is awesome and I hate being on the wrong side of it. It’s powerful and pretty effective. It’s just fun to shoot at people (in the game obviously).

#4 Ike

Ike’s is pretty cool with the flaming sword. He beats you up and if you have a decent amount of damage you die.

#3 Marth

If you get hit by this you’re pretty much dead and you fly off the screen. Very powerful.

#2 Link/Toon Link

Don’t get hit by that. It’s just awesome and powerful. It pretty much combines Ike and Marth’s smashes.

#1 Zelda/Sheik

A giant arrow to the head. That’s just awesome.

That’s the top 10. Please comment I’d love to hear what you guys think. Remember these are not necessarily the most effective but when you connect they are awesome.

Un sujet qui n’est pas souvent abordé mais pourtant, il y a pas mal de jeux qui regorgent d’humour. C’est vrai qu’à l’heure actuelle, les “Lapins Crétins” font rires… cinq minutes mais avant il y avait des moments de franche rigolade devant certains jeux. Beaucoup plus qu’en ce moment surtout!

Prenons un classique: Ghost’n'Goblins… Le roi Arthur se retrouvait en caleçon quand un zombie le touchait… déjà ça! ^^ Ou encore un autre jeu célèbre:  Mortal Kombat. Il y avait les ridicules  ”friendship”, les “fatality” vraiment fun dans le genre où une borne d’arcade MK écrase l’ennemi ou encore les “babality” (transformer l’autre en bébé…) mais aussi l’intervention d’un développeur qui passe la tête à l’écran ou éclate de rire en arrière plan pour se moquer du joueur qui vient de se prendre un combo!

Il y a aussi des jeux où l’humour est important. Prenons Banjo & Kazooie, le monument de RARE sorti sur Nintendo 64 (et récemment sur Xbox Live Arcade), il est bourré d’humour! Entre les vannes de Kazooie, les transformations ridicules de Banjo et le Mumbo Jumbo et son super langage, il y a de quoi faire! RARE était fort à cette époque. Les bruitages et musiques étaient aussi pour beaucoup… La preuve avec Diddy Kong Racing aussi ou encore Donkey Kong 64 et le jeu de tarés des 90’s: Conker’s Bad Fur Day! Un jeu pour les gens qui ont un problème au cerveau… bon, ok… comme moi! Sérieusement, ce jeu, c’était du grand n’importe quoi mais tellement bon! Ces jeux-là sans humour, ce ne serait pas les mêmes… Ils perderaient de leur superbe!

Malheureusement, il est aussi vrai qu’aujourd’hui, se bidonner devant un jeu devient rare… Heureusement, il y a encore de fabuleux jeux comme le magnifique Fable 2 de Peter Molyneux qui propose toujours des moments de franches rigolades! Déjà le barde avec ses fameux “Salut toi, tu veux une chansonette?”, les hobbes avec leurs cris bizarres, même les “méchants” du jeu lâchent parfois du n’importe quoi… Sans compter certaines expressions du héros et des portes démoniaques! J’aime ce genre de jeu.

Par contre, au Japon, l’humour dans les jeux vidéo est assez important. D’ailleurs, déjà quand on voit les adaptations de mangas comme par exemple One Piece Unlimited Cruise, les mimiques des persos et leur folie sont bien reproduitent dans le jeu! ^^ Les japonais aiment allier les moments sérieux et la bétise. On en a un bon exemple avec les Dragon Ball et autres mangas cultes…

Dommage qu’il n’y a plus autant de travail là-dessus qu’avant. Vous allez dire que je fais mon “c’était mieux avant” mais non… C’est juste que la mentalité des développeurs changent… L’argent à pris le contrôle du monde du jeu vidéo mais heureusement, il reste quelques petites “boîtes” qui se prennent la tête pour nous pondrent des titres originaux et ceux-là, méritent d’être récompensé! Restons positif pour l’avenir…

There’s trouble on Timber’s Island in the hideous shape of Wizpig, an evil space swine.

You will need to combat this evil menace, the island’s inhabitants call on the Kong clan – Diddy, Dixie and Tiny Kong – to send Wizpig back to the stars.

This game is part kart racer and adventure game, you will be in the driving seat of karts, hovercraft and airplanes as you explore the island and to fight against characters in competitions.

Well, here I am! Conker the King… king of all the land! Who’d a thought that? But how did I come to this, you say? And who are those strange fellows that surround my throne? That you also say! Well. It’s a long story. Come closer and I’ll tell you. It all started… yesterday.

And what a day that was! It’s what I call… a bad fur day!

De esta forma es como da inicio uno de los mejores videojuegos que he tenido la oportunidad de tener entre mis manos, todo lo anterior lo narra nuestro protagoista, con una mirada profunda y que se siente 100% real mientras de fondo se escucha la rolita de Clockwork Orange.

Conker Bad Fur Day  es un juego hecho 100% con huevos, todas y cada una de las referencias a  peliculas que aparecen dentro del juego esta pensadas detenidamente  para armar un colage que una vez visto no se puede olvidar. Al igual que en el inicio, el resto del juego esta repleto de parodias geniales  de películas como Gladiator, Alien, Reservoir Dogs,  The Godfather, Dracula de Bram Stoker, Saving Private Ryan, Matrix, Terminator y muchas otras. Pero vallamos a los inicios.

La primera aprición de  nuestro “heroe” fué en el juego de carreras llamado Diddy Kong Racing, donde se le veía a conker como una amistosa ardilla (con un look realmente maricón), compartía anonimato con otros personajes dentro de ese mismo juego, como el Tigre Coño, La Toruga Piruja, El Tejón Cojón y junto con otra manada de jotos animalitos se armaban los arrancones… nada especial.

Posteriormente se pensó en crear un juego de avetura donde Conker fuese la estrella, el juego tenía como nombre “Twelve Tales: Conker 64″ (si, otro juego que termina en 64), la historia trataría de que Conker tendría la misión de recuperar 100 regalos de cumpleaños  a lo largo de 12 mundos, todo esto siendo ayudado por su novia Berry (si, es tan gay como suena).

Despues de que Rare fué atacado con inumerables mentadas de madre por intentar crear un juego mega rosa, predecible y seguramente aburrido. Despues de todas las críticas, Rare, tomó la desición de eliminar la idea originál y empezar desde cero.

Y de esta poco usual forma, es como Conker Bad Fur Day vió la luz.

Desde el inicio del juego te percatas de que estas a punto de entrar a una aventura como pocas. El manejar en el primer nivel a una ardilla en plena cruda, resaca o en estado post peda es bien pinche divertido.

La historia nos cuenta como Conker despues de una peda en un bar con la banda, sale de la misma para tomar camino a casa, pero en el estado en el que se encuentra se le complica un poco el llegar a casa. Coker termina despertando en medio de un campo de maíz, y es en este punto donde tomamos las riendas del destino de Conker. En este punto conquer no lo sabe, pero en otra parte del extenso reino, se encuentra El Rey Pantera, el cual tiene el problema de que su leche siempre termina por los suelos cuando coloca su vaso sobre la mesa (el gran problema es que le falta una pata a la dichosa mesa), para dar solución a este dilema, exige una solución a su cientifico loco personal, éste cientifico termina por dar la solución más simple de todas, “lo que requiere la mesa es algo que reemplace la pata faltante… y despues de muchas pruebas he descubierto que la mejor opción es colocar bajo el espacio vacio bajo la mesa a una ardilla roja”.

Durante la Odisea, Conker se encontrá con leales amigos y formidables enemigos, todo esto mientras la avaricia y codicia opacarán las buenas e increibles azañas del peludo personaje.

MEGA SPOILER

Al final de la travesia Conker descubre que el dinero no lo es todo al ver la muerte de Berry. Después de una pelea con el Final Boss (que es un Alien) Conker se termina haciéndoce del trono y las riquezas del mismo, pero ni todo este poder y fortuna logran llenar el vacio que deja la muerte de Berry, es entonces cuando uno se percata de  la razón por la cual al inicio del juego se le ve con esa mirada de odio y asco. Conker termina en la misma cantina donde todo empezó, y al igual que en un principio sale completamente alcoholizado del bar, solo que la única diferencia (aparte de ser rey) es que esta vez toma el camino de la derecha en vez del de la izquierda (la verdad es que no es un final feliz).

Despues de este final se pueden sacar muchas teorias sobre el futuro de Conker, en uno de los comentarios de un video encotré lo siguiente

oh god……… what happends next?
(A) Finds Home.
(B) The game locks up and brings berri back to life.
(C) Gets Lost and does everything all over again
(D) goes to the trone and tells another story

Yo creo que ninguna de esas es la respuesta correcta, me gustaría creer que de alguna forma Conker entiende la lección y Berry es debuelta a la vida, Conker y Berry copulan, tienen muchas ardillitas y todos viven felices en el castillo por todo la eternidad, pero siendo reales y crudos como en el  juego, creo que conker llega a casa y se pega un tiro en la cabeza  (bueh, eso creo).

FIN DEL SPOILER

Los gráficos son de gran calidad considerando que es un juego de antepasada generación, los colores son intensos, las expreciones son claras, el sentimiento se transmite facilmente al espectador y las texturas quedan bien definidas. De este aspecto lo único que no ayuda es la cámara.

Existe un remake para X-Box, que resalta las texturas y “mejora el control”, pero para ser cincero, el remake no me gusta, prefiero el de 64, no es por ser purista, pero las limitaciones de la consola de nintendo le dan un sabor especial que a la versión de X-Box le falta, lo único bueno son los escearios, hablando en la onda visual, en el caso de que no me crean les dejo el video donde se compara el intro de las dos verciones.

La diversidad, calidad y diverción que ofrecen las diferentes misiones son fenomenales,  van desde escenas en tierra, bajo el agua, carreras, shooter, puzzels, búsqueda, aventura y peleas, todo esto combinado con el humor que maneja “Bad Fur Day”. Para llegar al Final Stage tendrás que eliminar abejorros mafiosos, nadar en aguas de una fábrica de mierda (literal, en la fábrica se producen bolas de popo), cortarle las nalgas a un cabernícola gigante, quitarle lo tímida a una flor de pechos doble D, matar zombies, capturar y triturar aldeanos, entrar a una guerra contra los osos teddys, lograr que unas vacas caguen con la ayuda del jugo de arándano, eliminar a un soprano constituido de cagada, hacer explotar a un ratón por medio de gases nobles (pedos) e irrumpir en un edificio para utilizar el Bullet Time al puro estilo Matrix.

Para terminar solo quiero decir que es un juego obligatorio (y digno) que  se encuentre entre su biblioteca de videogames

Le doy un 10 y no menos.

Y LES REGALO MI ROLA PREDILECTA DE “CONKER BAD FUR DAY”

Imagen Extra:

Juggle for me. Yeah. Yeah, that's it.

Just re-read the Donkey Kong Country review and then add a girl monkey and slightly better graphics and get the hell out of my office. Close the door and don’t bother me for three hours. If you hear a gunshot, open the door and take a picture and then seal that picture in this envelope and send it to the media. If all goes well, it will be in the HOME & GARDEN section. This will make more sense if/when it happens.

What do you expect me to say about DKC 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest? This is a pretty good game—it’s even a little better than the first one, maybe. You collect bananas and tokens and ride on a rhinoceros and sometimes Diddy (not Sean Combs) wears sunglasses and rocks out to some beats. The graphics are pretty phenomenal for a SNES game, the music isn’t annoying in the slightest and the controls are “snappy” (whatever that means) and responsive (maybe it means responsive? Was this redundant?) like your mother.

This game had some high production values and it shows. Nintendo coddles their hairy babies: apes and Italian plumbers alike.

It’s pretty interesting to see the Kong family’s continued and troubling barrel fetish come into play so often. I’ve been fishing around for a joke involving hobbits since Mekki made some weird reference to Mordor down there in his review and we all know how much hobbits like riding around in barrels. Remember? From the Hobbit? They float to Lake Town? Anyone? Bueller? Chief? McCloud!

In conclusion, more pop culture references/throw-away absurd jokes and absolutely no insightful analysis whatsoever. Business as usual.

Vou postar mais alguns sprites, que ajudam muito a quem procura por eles, enjoy:

(Tem jogo do Sonic (mesmo que seja uma m@*#$) da Nintendo xD)

Espero que tenham Enjoyado xD

Cá está um tópico no melhor estilo CheapAssGamer. Este tópico é para você, gamer que quer seus jogos a preços decentes! Tudo bem que alguns dos jogos da lista não estão a preços que poderiam ser considerados uma promoção, mas estão pelo menos a uma preço aceitável, para fugir dessas lojas que cobram mais de 250 reais por um lançamento. Sempre que eu encontrar algo em promoção ou com preços convidativos, postarei aqui para vocês, os dois leitores do meu blog, conferirem. E parabéns ao masterpoint, usuário da NGM que teve a iniciativa de listar várias promoções de lojas online.

ATENÇÃO!! Este post não foi criado com o intuito de promover alguma loja em específico, e sim de informar os gamers sobre preços aceitáveis para comprarem jogos novos.

 por Kaka

 Nada melhor pra começar o ano novo que uma bela dose de bom humor, right? Portanto, seguindo essa desculpa pra não postar nada mais elaborado premissa, preparei pra vocês, com todo carinho e votos de feliz 2009, uma coletânea com as melhores tirinhas, comics, memes e outras cousas gamisticamente divertidas que encontrei pela internet no mês de dezembro.

Um 2009 com menos bombas e mais bons jogos e boas notícias para os gamers!

Após o pulo, confiram a coletânea. Mas antes, vem cá: você já votou no Warpzona lá no Best Blogs Brazil? É bem rapidinho, basta um simples cadastro. A gente merece, não merece?  Então, não contrarie uma senhorita e alguns marmanjos e vá lá voltar! O prazo termina dia 16 deste mês!

Brawl in the Family

Bem, já que comecei com eles, vamos lá: Brawl in the Family é um site que publica tirinhas divertidas com os personagens que aparecem na série Super Smash Bros. – fora alguns outros personagens de jogos dos consoles da Nintendo, como o Megaman – sendo o Kirby o foco principal. Todas elas são desenhadas pelo Matthew Taranto, enquanto o Chris Seward cuida do site. A tira que postei antes do pulo veio de lá, como já devem te reparado. Vejam outras:
 

Lembrarei de não deixar minha Turwig perto de Mario & Luigi.

Lembrem-se, crianças: não julgar as situações pelas aparências!

Para ver todas as outras 117 tirinhas – até agora! – deem uma olhada no site deles. Vale a pena!

Hiimdaisy

Hiimdaisy é uma página de Live Journal onde Peachi – sim, é uma garota! Algum problema? –  posta comics sobre jogos como Metal Gear Solid, Phoenix Wright, Mother, e outros. O senso de humor dela é rápido, ácido e nonsense, lembrando um pouco animações em flash como a série Metal Gear Solid AWESOME nos seus melhores momentos. Confiram uma amostra:

Para saber como a história termina, jogue MGS 3 - ou clique na imagem e leia o resto da comic. :3

Para ler o resto dessa comic e muito mais, acesse Hiimdaisy. Mas, caso você não tenha jogado algum dos jogos, vá com cuidado: as comics são cheias de spoilers!
O perfil dela no DevianArt também merece uma visita. Tem muito desenho bacana lá. Check it out!

Sure, you’re Ken!

Haha, essa comic é genial. Infelizmente, o Google não me ajudou a achar o autor dela. Caso alguém conheça, é só falar nos comentários que eu dou o devido crédito.

No próximo post, dois memes muito engraçados. Aguardem!

E obrigada, Tottou e Kamek, pelas dicas!

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, you must go to collect all of the characters and have them join your team.  Once you have grouped up all of the characters, you have to defeat TABBU.  Bat TABBU and restore peace to the land.

This game was made last year (2007) so it looks very realistic.  This is not only a Mario game.  There is no acctual main character in the game.  The Characters:  Mario, Link, Donkey Kong, Samus, Kirby, Fox, Pikachu, Diddy Kong, Zelda/Sheik, Pit, Meta Knight, Pokemon Trainer, Ike, Peach, Yoshi, Ice Climbers, King Dedede, Bowser, Wario, Olimar, and Lucas. Unlockable Characters: Marth, Mr. Game And Watch, Luigi, Falco, Snake, Ganondorf, Wolf, Lucario, Ness, Sonic, Toon Link, R.O.B., Captin Falcon, Jiggly Puff.

My Tips:

1. Use the control stick and combine it with the special attack button and see what happens!

2. You can also combine the control stick with the regular attack button!

My Rating: 5stars

Donkey Kong Country ist eine Insel vor Afrika. Herrscher ist der mächtige Gorilla Donkey Kong. Alle wichtigen Posten der Infrastruktur sind besetzt mit Familienmitgliedern (Speicherpunkte, Flughäfen…), alle anderen Bewohner des Landes werden unterdrückt und bei Widerstand getötet. Die einzige Ressource des Landes sind Bananen. Der gierige Donkey Kong hortet den gesamten Bestand in einer riesigen Höhle, zu der nur er Zugang hat.

Während der Banenrevolution 1994 (“Wir sind das Volk!” “Bananen für alle!”) gelang es einigen Oppositionsführern (Biber, Riesengeier, Krokodil etc.) an die Vorräte zu gelangen, jedoch gelang es Donkey Kong und seinem verschlagenem Bruder Diddy Kong, sie zurückzuerobern und die Opposition zu vernichten.

Vielleicht denkt ihr einfach mal drüber nach, was ihr da eigentlich spielt.

Ehh…goddamn..is that really that lil shit from Junior Gang or whatever that lame group was called?

ik kan hem toch alleen herinneren als dat kleine chubby monkey-lookin nia…

Nou voordat jullie gek gaan doen, ik zeg niet dat iedereen op apen lijken, maar wel dat hij op Diddy Kong lijkt…

ik denk dat hij gaat trainen om weer te vechten met Maino…

Diddy Kong é o parceiro do gorila Donkey Kong, aparecendo pela primeira vez no clássico Donkey Kong Country, de 1994. No manual do game, Diddy é citado como ‘aspirante a sobrinho’ do gorilão, seja lá o que isso quer dizer.

Durante o desenvolvimento do game, Diddy deveria ser uma versão atualizada de Donkey Kong Jr., mas a Nintendo terminou não permitindo associar o nome à aparência do pequeno macaco, exigindo da RARE mudar o nome ou sua aparência… como a RARE achou o design do personagem perfeito para o game, escolheu mudar seu nome para “Dinky Kong”… esse nome renderia à RARE problemas com direitos autorais, possivelmente com uma fábrica de brinquedos, por isso o nome do pequeno macaco de boné e camiseta vermelha passou a ser Diddy Kong.

Jogos

______________________________________________________________________________

Donkey Kong Country (SNES, 1994)

No seu primeiro jogo, Diddy é o companheiro de Donkey, em uma aventura na selva Kongo, em busca das bananas roubadas pelo King K. Roll. O jogo se tornou rapidamente um sucesso de vendas, devido principalmente ao impressionante tratamento gráfico desenvolvido pela Rareware.

______________________________________________________________________________

Donkey Kong Land (Game Boy, 1995)

Donkey Kong Land é a continuação do DKC para o portátil monocromático da Nintendo. Cranky Kong desafia a dupla a conseguir resgatar as bananas em um sistma 8 bits, e a dupla topa o desafio. O jogo tem 4 mundos novos e todos os elementos do anterior, salvo as limitações gráficas.

______________________________________________________________________________

Donkey Kong Country 2 – Diddy’s Kong Quest (SNES, 1995)

Ainda em 95, surge o segundo título para o Super Nintendo, dessa vez trazendo Diddy como astro principal, tendo sua namorada “Dixie Kong” o acompanhando. Em DKC2, o casal Diddy e Dixie precisam resgatar o tiozão Donkey, que foi sequestrado pelo incansável King K. Roll. No final do game, Diddy consegue o que sempre sonhou, ser um astro de video-game.

O sub-título do game é um trocadilho com a palavra “Conquest” (Kong-Quest)

______________________________________________________________________________

Donkey Kong Land 2 (Game Boy, 1996)

Dessa vez Donkey Kong Land não seguiu um rumo diferente, é uma adaptação do Donkey Kong Country 2, do Super Nintendo. O manual do game conta que uma erupção vulcânica traz de volta a ilha dos crocodilos e King K. Roll mais uma vez sequestra Donkey Kong, obrigando Diddy e Dixie a saírem mais uma vez em busca dele.

______________________________________________________________________________

Donkey Kong Country 3 – Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble (SNES, 1996)

Donkey e Diddy estão desaparecidos após saírem de férias, cabe a Dixie e seu sobrinho bebezão Kiddy saírem em busca dos dois. Enquanto isso, os Kremlins voltam a tomar conta das ilhas, sob o comando de um misterioso robô KAOS, que na verdade é controlado pelo Rei K. Roll (chamado de Baron K. Roolenstein nesse game). Diddy Kong não é controlável nesse título.

______________________________________________________________________________

Donkey Kong Land III (Game Boy, 1997)

Nesse game, Diddy nem sequer aparece, apesar de fazer parte da história do jogo. Donkey Kong Land 3 é tanto um remake como uma continuação do DKC3 do Super Nintendo. A história desse game conta que Donkey e Diddy partem sozinhos em busca de um mundo secreto, Dixie fica furiosa por não ter sido convidada para a aventura e se junta ao sobrinho Kiddy e parte em busca do tal mundo, é claro que K. Roll e o robô KAOS vão aparecer para atrapalhar.

______________________________________________________________________________

Diddy Kong Racing (Nintendo 64, 1997)

Diddy Kong estréia no N64 em um jogo de corrida com aventura. O jogo apresentou diversos novos personagens que mais tarde apareceriam em seus próprios jogos, como Banjo e Tiptup, que são os astros na série Banjo-Kazooie, e o esquilo Conker.

______________________________________________________________________________

Donkey Kong 64 (Nintendo 64, 1999)

Dois anos depois, Diddy aparece em DK64, a princípio como prisioneiro do King K. Roll, mas após ser liberto, passa a ser personagem selecionável no game. O jogo ainda traz três novos personagens, a irmã de Dixie, Tiny Kong, o irmão mais velho de Kiddy, Chunky Kong, e Lanky Kong, um primo distante.

Donkey Kong 64 foi o primeiro título do console a usar obrigatoriamente o Expansion Pack, um acessório que dobrava a quantidade de memória RAM do console, de 4 para 8mb.

______________________________________________________________________________

Outras Aparições

Após Donkey Kong 64, Diddy some do mundo dos games por 4 anos, só voltando a aparecer no port de Donkey Kong Country para o GBA, nessa versão ele ganhou um modo exclusivo, “Hero Mode”, onde o jogador deve terminar o jogo usando apenas o Diddy, na ocasião com roupa amarela.

Diddy aparece pela primeira vez no Game Cube e em um jogo do Mario em “Mario Golf – Toadstool Tour” de 2003, é a primeira vez também que ele aparece em um jogo não produzido pela RARE (que foi vendida para a Microsoft em 2002).

Ainda no mesmo ano, Diddy aparece em mais um jogo de karts, em Mario Kart Double Dash, Diddy é o companheiro de Donkey Kong e atira cascas de banana gigantes nos adversários como ataque especial, a casca enorme além de atrapalhar e fazer derrapar, se divide em três cascas menores.

Em 2004, a Namco lança um jogo musical chamado Donkey Konga para o Game Cube, o jogo vem com um controle em forma de congas, onde o jogador deve acompanhar as batidas das musicas da série. Diddy aparece mais uma vez acompanhando o gorila DK.

Ainda em 2004, Diddy aparece em Mario Power Tennis, também para o Game Cube. Também no port de Donkey Kong Country 2 para o GBA, com novos mini-games.

No ano seguinte, Diddy trabalhou em Donkey Konga 2, Mario Superstar Baseball, DK: King of Swing e o port para o GBA de DKC3.

Nabend,

hab mir vorhin Diddy’s Kong Quest für die VC geladen (damals SNES). Is zwar sau hart aber macht auch ordentlich bock
hab übrigens noch 1800 Punkte also macht euch auf weitere VC Berichte gefasst – ich tendiere zur Zeit zu Lylat Wars und Super Mario World aber mal sehen. Erstmal Diddy’s Kong Quest durchzocken ;]

Ihr werdet lachen aber ich bin nach 2 Stunden immernoch auf dem Anfangsschiff weil ichs schon so verdammt krank lange netmehr gezockt hab. Bin nun bei Stage 4-1 wenn man das so sagen kann überhaupt. Naja jedenfalls hier mal n Video vom allerersten level:

Offtopic
Mal eben was anderes: Ich hab beschlossen das Tagebuch schon noch weiterzuführen nur weis ich nicht ob ich rerolle oder nicht. Es gibt für den HoX kein vernüntiges Gear man ist zu 80% auf random Dropps angewiesen und da droppt meist nur Grau was dann eh beim Händler landet. Desweiteren ist meine Hell Strike Combo nun kaputt seit dem letzten Patch – sie trifft einfach nicht mehr.
Ob Bearshaman, Barbar oder doch beim HoX bleiben steht noch nicht fest ;]

Schönes Wochenende euch noch!

Although I’m sure that anybody who would care to read this has probably already read enough about this thing, possibly back when it actually came out, but if Yahtzee can go ahead and review games that came out years ago, then I see no reason why I can’t do something that came out a month ago. That being said, I’m not actually reviewing it, just throwing out a few initial thoughts from a few hours into the game.

First of all, the key focus in Brawl is the overhauled Adventure mode, now called Subspace Emissary. The Adventure Mode was my least favorite part of Melee and, halfway through this version’s incredibly elongated version, I doubt that I’ll change my mind. As fun as the Smash Bros. gameplay engine is, it translates pretty roughly into a side-scrolling platforming game. To give a common example of the sort of stuff holding it back, the screen will randomly start force scrolling without warning, meaning that you could have decided to fight an otherwise easily avoided enemy, only to die as you can’t see and get stuck behind it and the screen keeps going, and you die. Or you decided to pick up a hammer, like you would in normal gameplay (because those things are still awesome), only to find that you suddenly get thrust into a furious platforming section, which tend to be cheap even when you don’t accidentally screw yourself over. The trophies are still nice, but the trophy base item as a method of collecting trophies is a complete joke, as it doesn’t even work on the majority of the more difficult enemies, and since throwing the base replaces the basic fight button, unless you can whittle down a specific enemy’s health with your special attacks (again, a joke, since the game throws roughly six enemies at you at once), isn’t going to happen. Also, since you can’t carry items between doors, you lose most of the items you encounter anyway, which you usually pick up as you defeat all the enemies, which pretty much nullifies any use they have. I will say though that I was initially skeptical about how the game lets you unlock the majority of the characters through the Subspace Emissary because it could take the challenge out of Melee’s more random requirements and that it’d be the “easy” way to get everything, it really isn’t, because a surprising amount of effort went into Subspace Emissary. As flawed as it may be, the mode itself isn’t a joke; roughly seven hours in, I’m barely halfway done. And I like the faux-RPG elements it adds with the stickers, even if their effects are barely noticeable.

So in an attempt to show that I actually do like this game and do have positive criticism (I’m not done with negative though), one of the best parts of the game is its great new characters. King Dedede is surprisingly fun to play as, despite the predictably useless “big characters = slow but powerful attacks”. As hard as Olimar is to use, he puts an entirely new spin on how to play the game, although I’m not sure just how useful he’d be in serious competition, unless you’re way too obsessive. Pokemon Trainer, while still a gimmicky one-upping of Zelda/Sheik, is actually really good (although Ivysaur isn’t terribly mobile), and Diddy Kong (best mid-air juggler ever!) and Lucario (okay, fine, he’s a lot better than Mewtwo) are two of my favorite characters. And even though there should be far more of them, the third-party characters that are here (Snake and Sonic) are great; possibly a tad overpowered, but weird enough that you need plenty of skill using them before this actually becomes an issue. Even though he’s a Ness clone, Lucas is different enough to keep things interesting (as it’s also interesting to see how Nintendo loves to tease us with Mother 3…). Meta Knight and Pit are okay, but if you thought Pikachu spammers were annoying, then you haven’t seen anything yet. I like Ike (haha, I’m funny!), even if I keep forgetting and trying to play him like Roy (who shouldn’t have been removed). Thinking about it, my two most pointless new characters are probably Wolf (I don’t care if they’re all slightly different, why are there three Fox clones, and why do they all have sodding landmasters?!) and Zero Suit Samus (basically Samus is Zelda/Sheik now, except instead of pressing B-down, you have to wait for and fight over a painfully hard to acquire item… she’d be a much better character if you could actually chose to play as her, as opposed to waiting to be thrust into the situation. We can’t have both Samus’s on the menu, but three Foxes?)

And as great as it is to play Super Smash Bros. online, the online mode is completely shafted as Nintendo again completely fails to understand how the internet works. Here’s the explanation off the game’s website:

“Your opponent will not know your name or any information about you”

Hooray! Now I can play online without the unimaginable horror of the world knowing I’m SoccerFan42!

“neither of you can send short messages.”

I’m pretty sure voice chat is leading to declining sales of XBox 360s anyway

“There will also be no battle records kept for this mode, so whether you win or lose, it doesn’t matter.”

Oh, this mode doesn’t matter? Nice to know you’re on top of things.

So basically, Nintendo’s added in a feature that’s identical to Vs. Mode, except with Pikachu spamming and occasional laginess, and the game takes forever to start, too.

Also, the stage editor is great. For every good stage you make, you get ten horrendously illegitimate eyesores unfit to stand on, let alone fight on, but they’re your horrendously illegitimate eyesores unfit to stand on! Make a stage with nothing but moving platforms or with ladders in a horribly useless position underneath the stage; the AI has no idea what to do!

So to make an attempt to wrap up my rant, I haven’t finished the game yet (which I doubt will happen anytime soon… this game is huge! (good thing! yay!)), but compared to the two previous games in the series, I’m underwhelmed. It’s still good fun and probably the best multi-player experience you’ll get on the Wii, but I’m skeptical as to how great that is, given how the main idea behind the Wii is its unique controller, which this game doesn’t use (legitimately, anyway).

P.S. Why did the home run bat get nerfed? How high could that have been on anyone’s priority list?

It’s here! It’s finally here! After years of waiting, several delays, and enough forum posts to overwhelm even the most dedicated of fans, Super Smash Bros. Brawl has arrived on the Wii. The many worlds of Nintendo collide in this colossal achievement in gaming. This unique fighter will entertain even the biggest anti-Nintendo gamers, and will remain in your Wii for years to come.

The core fighting mechanic hasn’t been changed much. You still attempt to smash characters off the screen, where they explode in a huge colorful blur. It’s as fun as ever, and with four players fighting at once things can get so wonderfully hectic. That’s part of the appeal of the Smash Bros. series – many times different aspects of the fight are so random (stages changing on you, items appearing), giving novice players a chance, while serious players can definitely learn the ins and outs of the game and become experts. That perfect balance of random chance and hardcore skill added to the huge appeal of Nintendo has caused this series to become a world-wide favorite. Brawl not only continues that special formula, but improves on in many different ways.

For one, there are now Smash Balls, which are items that appear maybe once or twice in the average match. Once a player breaks open the Smash Ball, they can perform a Final Smash, which is an awesome over-the-top uber attack, always defeating the fighter it hits. Well, almost always. Not all Final Smashes are equally powerful. Some are complete orgies of death that kill everyone on the screen, and others (even when they focus on only one opponent) fail to make a real impact. However, I believe that may have been done on purpose when some character’s normal moves are a bit more powerful than everybody else’s.

That brings me to the characters themselves. With over thirty there’s bound to be someone for everyone. Some, like Bowser and Ganondorf, focus on raw power but lack speed. Others such as Meta Knight and Pit are all about short, quick, attacks. Sonic and Fox are very speedy and mobile, a handful are well-rounded, and then there’s Olimar, who’s strange moveset doesn’t really fit into any category. I love the variety here, and in the end it was hard to find a character I didn’t like. The new characters are very fun and welcome additions to the series, especially with new third-party characters, Sonic and Snake. However, I was a bit disappointed by the lack of third-party characters. With all the excitement and possibilities surrounding third-party support, the fact that there’s only two is a bit of a letdown.

Clones (that is, characters who are not much more than pallet-swaps of someone else) from Melee like Dr. Mario, Pichu, and Young Link have been taken out, but new ones such as Toon Link and Wolf have been added. Overall however, I would say that there aren’t as many clones this time around. Also of note are the stages, which are easily the best in the series. Each one brings something new to the table and offers a fresh experience to the players. I’m glad to see that Melee’s best made it, as well.

Coming to a new system, naturally the next Smash Bros. game has different controls. Thankfully, there are 4 different possible ways to play the game. The Gamecube setup works exactly like it did in Melee, the Classic Controller is very good once you get the hang of it (it’s my new preference). The Wii Remote and Nunchuck combo works just fine, although it doesn’t always feel quite right since the Smash Bros. games were meant for a more traditional gamepad. The sideways remote-only option is awful, and should only be used when you don’t have access to any of the other controller setups. Learning to actually control the characters on-screen may take a few tries for people who have never played a Smash Bros. game, but luckily you won’t find many of those kinds of people.

When it comes to graphics, Brawl features some of the best the Wii has to offer, but sadly, that isn’t really saying much. Closeups during the cutscenes show the occasional bland character model or lack of detail. The Wii still has a ways to go before it catches up with its Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 rivals. However, at 60 frames a second Brawl runs very smoothly and still manages to impress when chaos reigns everywhere.

Nintendo games have always had great music in my opinion, and practically every noteworthy Nintendo (and Sonic/Metal Gear) song ever made (that’s a lot!) has been included in Brawl. Brilliantly composed and performed, I think it’s safe to say that this game has the best soundtrack ever made for a video game. The new theme song composed by Nobuo Uematsu (famous for his work in numerous Final Fantasy games) is also catchy, although the opera singing and Latin lyrics might not be a favorite of everyone’s. And Uematsu isn’t the only famous video game composer involved in Brawl. In fact, pretty much every noteworthy video game composer did something in Brawl, from Koji Kondo (Mario/Legend of Zelda) to Yuka Tsujiyoko (Fire Emblem) to Yuzo Kushiro (ActRaiser/Streets of Rage) and beyond.

Smash Bros. has always been a multiplayer game, but Brawl attempts to give players a solid single-player campaign as well. Called “The Subspace Emissary”, you fight your way through many levels in an attempt to stop the Ancient Minister and his army of minions from nuking sections of the world and turning everyone into trophies. We never really find out why the Ancient Minister wants to blow up the world, but that doesn’t really matter. What is of interest however, is the absurd amount of cutscenes. Some are awesome, some are funny, some are stupid, some are corny, and many are a combination of those. But they are mostly entertaining, and that’s the most important part.

The campaign was a lot better (and a lot longer) than I had ever thought it would be, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s perfect. For one, it’s very repetitive. At the beginning I believed it had a lot of potential with its original enemies and large side-scrolling level designs. However, once I found myself fighting the same enemies over and over again, I got a bit tired of the whole thing. The level design is passable, but nothing will blow you away and many times it just seems to be a link to the next platform where you’ll be swarmed by enemies. A few puzzles were attempted, but they all have to do with hitting a single button or finding a key for a nearby locked door. To tell you the truth, sometimes I felt like the levels in “The Subspace Emissary” where just a chore I had to go through to unlock the next character. You see, every playable character can be unlocked in the campaign – most on the first time through. I’m pretty sure people will go for this mode to unlock everyone instead of trying to get them the old way – meeting specific requirements such as playing a certain number of brawls or beating Classic mode with everyone. I can see both a good and a bad side to this. The bad side is that unlocking characters is no longer much of a challenge and thus a lot of the fun and replay value of past Smash Bros. games has been eliminated. The good side is that players will be able to unlock everyone very quickly and experience every character, unhindered by incredibly difficult or time-consuming challenges that may have kept holes in their rosters previously.

Granted, “Subspace” does have more variety than the average brawler, and a good amount of replay value lies in beating levels on higher difficulties and collecting trophies scattered about the stages. The Co-Op is a huge plus as well, and the enemies become a lot tougher once a buddy plays along side you. One very odd design decision however, is the fact that the second player can press start and warp to your position. That doesn’t sound too bad, but you’ll soon discover its cheap advantages. If you’re surrounded by enemies you can warp right out of them and worst of all, getting knocked off the stage is pretty much impossible as long as your start button-pushing reflexes are fast enough. That’s right – even in situations no one would normally get out of alive, the second player can get right out of them at the push of a button. Still, once they’ve taken enough damage, the second player won’t be able to warp fast enough once they’re sent flying, so there is still some challenge in the Co-Op. Most importantly, it’s still fun.

“Subspace” and normal brawling aren’t the only things to do in Brawl, however. Event matches have returned, with separate challenges for both single player and Co-Op. The Home-Run Derby and Multi-Man Melees have also been tweaked for the better this time around, and Classic mode is still available, complete with target tests and the Master Hand battle at the end. Pictures can be taken at any point in the game, and after every brawl you have the option to save (or just watch) a replay of the fight. A Masterpiece mode lets you play short (as in, 30 seconds to one minute) demos of Virtual Console games that star Brawl characters. I was glad to finally see some Virtual Console demos, but this feature should really be downloadable content on the Wii normally, not only part of one particular game. And really, 30 seconds of play time? It took about that long to load the demo, and then it’s over before you even start! Still, it’s better than nothing.

It’s nice that there are hundreds of collectible trophies and stickers, which are used to boost player stats in the campaign (although I really forgot to use them). I was hoping that extra third-party content would make its way into the trophies and stickers, but sadly it didn’t. We’re limited to the worlds of Sonic the Hedgehog and Metal Gear Solid. Still, I do think that Brawl may have set the record for most unlockables ever in a video game with all its characters, stages, trophies, stickers, game modes, music, and whatnot.

A simple but fun Stage Builder will likely addict most players at some point, and creations (as well as your pictures and replays) can be sent to Wi-Fi friends and to Nintendo, who sends out one custom stage, picture, and replay to players everyday over Wi-Fi. Ah yes, the Wi-Fi. It was one of the most exciting new features back when everyone was still speculating on message boards before the game came out. Just think! Online would add infinite replay value and link the millions of Smash Bros. fans everywhere around the world to a central hub for competition!

It pains me to say that the online is by far the most disappointing and awful part of Brawl. It only goes to show how unprepared and frightened Nintendo is to create a serious online community. What I want to know is why Nintendo would give their best multiplayer game ever such a horrible online system. Smash Bros. is Nintendo’s Halo. There are so many competitive Smash Bros. players around the world and to deny them a decent online is truly nothing short of an insult. All the trouble begins when you choose the “Play Anyone” option at the Wi-Fi menu. You have no name, no icon, no profile, no anything. Nor do the people you play against have such things. These faceless opponents might as well be bots, since nothing shows you that they are real people. It also doesn’t help that you have to wait about 5 minutes to find enough players for a match. It’s really too bad that you can’t play anything but the 2-minute match type after all that waiting. And once the battle actually begins, you’ll find something we’ve all dreaded – lag. And lots of it. In a crazy, precise fighter like Brawl, every second counts. Lag can utterly destroy a game like this. Now, I’ll admit that most of the time it is playable, but the match feels like it’s going at 2/3 the speed it should be, which threw me off a bit when I was playing. Sometimes though, it’s so ridiculous that you’ll be hitting the reset button on the Wii just so you can get out of it. I’m talking about the kind of lag that pauses the game for 20 seconds then allows you to move for 4, then pauses again. Simply horrendous. Can anyone please tell me why you would spend time here when you can fight the rather formidable bots and control all the options offline? Now if there were perhaps online tournaments or a ranking system, I would play online a bit more, but without such things there really is no reason to.

When you battle with a friend, things are a bit better. Custom taunts can be assigned to each button on the D-Pad. Luckily Nintendo didn’t make them pre-set taunts, so it is actually possible to get pretty nasty with your friends. An icon can be chosen, although with no Photo Channel support you’re left with the symbols and pictures of each playable character, and little else. The best part of Friend Wi-Fi battling is the fully customizable options – anything you can tweak on normal brawls can be tweaked here, so no one is limited to 2 minute fights. Another cool feature is how additional players on your Wii can join in without a friend code or anything. No Voice Chat does kind of hurt, but it doesn’t cripple the gameplay. What can however, is that lag. I played against someone who lived maybe 4 blocks down the road from me, and the speed still felt slower than it should have. After several matches it got to that perfect speed, so I suppose the game needs time to establish the connection (now that I think about it, this is also true for the “Fight Anyone” mode as well). Anotherthing that could have used a bit more attention in the Friends Wi-Fi mode was alerts. A friend of yours could have started a match lobby and is waiting for you, but there’s no way that you’d ever know unless you took the time to look for a joinable game. A message in the corner of my screen would have been nice, Nintendo.

Even with such a lacking online, Brawl shines through with its other content. The truth is, you’ll be spending as much time playing and unlocking the other content as you would playing a great online game like Halo or Call of Duty 4, so an online mode for Brawl really isn’t completely necessary for the replay value. There’s just so much packed into the disc that you’ll be playing this even more than Melee, which people are still playing today, 7 years after it was released. The overall package is so amazing and unique and fun that any shortcoming will be quickly eclipsed by the dozens of great aspects. Is Brawl perfect? No. I’ve kept my eye on this ever since I heard it was coming out. I checked the Dojo website daily. I waited in line at midnight. But I won’t be a complete fanboy now and tell you it’s perfect. However, I will tell you that it’s one of the most addicting and universally fun games I’ve ever played, and by the far the best title on the Wii – no, one of the best titles Nintendo has ever pulled together. To deny yourself a chance to spend time with this game would be a crime. Super Smash Bros. Brawl has a few missed opportunities, but when the rest is so much fun, who cares!

Pros: Improves on the incredibly fun and accessible Smash Bros. fighting system, an absurd amount of unlockables, great Co-Op support, large character roster, varied and balanced characters, every gameplay mode tweaked for the better, a much better campaign than Melee ever had, great stages, fun Stage Builder, best soundtrack ever in a video game, smooth graphics, incredibly addicting gameplay

Cons: Only two third-party characters is a bit disappointing, a few characters are essentially pallet swaps of another character, not all Final Smashes appear to be balanced, masterpiece mode demos are way too short, repetitive campaign, second player can perform a cheap warping technique in the Co-Op campaign, the online is a major letdown

Final Score: 9.7 out of 10

By Josh60502

Ok so I have had a few day to try the game out throughly. It’s not like I had access to the game before it was released like other sites did. But I can assure you even though this review is 2 days late. I used those 2 days to really play and test out the game. So I can give you a guys a very good review. Anyways, As most of you know already. Super Smash Bros Brawl is the sequel to the gamecube’s Super Smash Bros Melee. (Which Melee was the sequel to the N64 game, Super Smash Bros.)  And from what I’ve seen and played, Brawl is good sequel at that. 

It has very good game play. Graphics that are defintly a step up from Melee. Plenty of stages to keep you busy for a few days. Nice amount of available players like Sonic, Snake, Mario, Kirby, and R.O.B.. The assist trophys are very nice. But sometime they are very handy. But other times they can be a Incoveince to their user, like the Nintendogs.

Nintendo WiFi gaming is very good. But theres a slight problem with random Brawl over WiFi right now. Classic Mode is revamped and better this time around.

And for the extras. Their pretty good. Stage Builder is very nice and fun.  And the trials of the classic games that you can play are a bit too short. But you can play them over and over and over with makes is worth it.

But, Now lets talk about. You guessed it, the Subspace Emissary. And man, you better have alot of time on your hands. Because it takes a long time to play that. But well worth it. And thats where you can also unlock abunch of fighters too. Me and a friend so have spent over 14 hours with breaks of course playing the Subspace Emissary. Over a period of two days.

We played the Subspace Emissary so hard and so long. That my brand new White GameStop GC controller that I picked up when I got my copy of brawl on the 9th. The the A button devloped a Squeak a hour or two after we got done with “it”. Nothing a little bit of cooking spray as lubrication couldn’t fix though.

Now for the most crucial part of the review. The rateings.

I give the game a 9.5 out of 10. Which is a very good in my book. Needs a few tweeks here and there. A update sould be able to fix them. Anyways, way to go Nintendo and Hal!!

Here our pics of the cover, case, manual and disk. (Sorry no screenshots):

-Front Cover

-Overall Cover

-Inside the case

If you enjoy racing, battling, or creating your own silly sounds and billboards, this is the game for you! In this all action, mine -blowing game, you race on land, in the water and …IN THE AIR!!!Create your own tracks to twart your friends on and customise the sounds, billboards and vechiles to finnally beat the giant magic pig – Wizpig! But it Dosn’t stop there! Destroy your mates on four battle areas – an icy pyramid, a token-littered castle, a swamp and a volcano!

I really like this game because the graphics are amazing and the tracks vary so much! This is a must have game!

* Having trouble getting up to high ledges and tunnels using the plane?  Just press the ‘R’ Button upwards to get up there easily.  This button also lets you get round really tight corners when you press it along with either the right or left directinal buttons.

* Remember – the car cannot go on water – if you’ve seen a secret way that’s on water use the hover boat or plane!!

CHEATS: Secret Passages

* On Frosty Village you pass a waterfall to your right towards the end of the lap.  Go through it. you will end up in a watery expanse. keep going forward past two stalagmites of ice. the road will follow you to your left. DO NOT  go back to it, but go through  another hole in the wall. To actually let this cheat give you an advantage, you need to be on the hover boat.

 Inside the waterfall.

* On Treasure Caves, there is a tunnel at the begining to the right. It is so high, only the plane can pass through it.

* On the water track Cresent Island, you meet a ship about halfway through a lap. Instead of passing through it like everyone else, go through the water to your left. If you follow the water, you will end up on the main track once more.

Released in 2004, Mario vs. Donkey Kong for the Game Boy Advance took a decidedly more puzzle-oriented look at the infamous conflict between Italian plumber mascots and oversized apes that has captivated a generation for more than a quarter century. It was a unique and enjoyable spin on the typical Mario brand of platforming, though it was also a little on the easy and short side. Now the battle comes to the Nintendo DS in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, a full-blown sequel that changes up the formula significantly. Touch-screen controls play a heavy role in the gameplay, and no longer do you control Mario himself; rather, you’ll control the Mini-Marios that you frequently rescued in the first game. Throw in a new level-creator mode, an attractive presentation, and plenty of Donkey Kong-style monkey business, and you’ve got yourself an even better package than the original.

Pauline returns from whatever dark pit Nintendo shoved her into for the last 20 some odd years, only to get kidnapped by a giant ape yet again.

Much the way Mario vs. Donkey Kong paid frequent tribute to the Donkey Kong games of old, March of the Minis goes right into nostalgia mode from the opening cutscene. It’s opening day at the brand-new Super Mini Mario World theme park, and the Mushroom Kingdom is all atwitter with excitement. Mario’s on hand to cut the ribbon, and he’s brought a lady friend along with him. Is it Peach? Daisy? His mother? Nope, it’s Pauline, the long-forgotten heroine of the original Donkey Kong arcade games. Wouldn’t you know it, Donkey Kong himself is in the crowd, eyeing the comely brunette. And when his offers of affection are ultimately ignored by Pauline, DK flies into yet another rage, kidnapping the girl and taking her to the roof of the park. Now, it’s up to you to rescue her.

And by you, we don’t mean the usual hero in these situations, Mario; rather, we mean a whole mess of Mini-Marios scattered about the game’s eight worlds. March of the Minis follows a similar structure to the first game, with different stages in each world, as well as a boss stage where you fight Donkey Kong. However, the stages don’t play much like they did in the GBA game. Here, the gameplay takes a slant far more akin to something found in the Lemmings series. Each stage has a number of deactivated Mini-Marios sitting in one spot or another. To activate them, you simply touch one with the stylus, and it will begin walking in whatever direction it’s facing. You can turn it by swiping the stylus in the opposite direction, make it jump by swiping upward, and stop it by tapping on the Mini again. The ultimate goal is to get all the Minis in a stage to a door that’s usually blockaded by a series of traps, pitfalls, enemies, jump pads, movable walls, and the like.

While the controls sound simple, the game itself is not–at least not overly so. Navigating the game’s stages is less the tough part; more so, it’s trying to keep track of all the various Minis. The game is especially keen on you keeping a string of several Minis moving at once, and though you can just as easily get through most stages only moving one Mini at a time, you won’t score particularly high if you don’t keep a bunch of them going simultaneously. Fortunately, it’s easy enough to move the camera around the level, so you won’t often find yourself struggling to figure out where your Minis are or where they’re headed, and if you can get them all together into one string as they reach the level exit, you’ll get a nice score bonus.

Steering the Minis isn’t overly complex, but you’ve got to keep close track of them if you want to avoid losing them, and get the big scores.

It’s easier said than done. The original Mario vs. Donkey Kong may have been exceedingly easy for a good chunk of the normal game, but March of the Minis is only overly simplistic for the first couple of worlds. It’s easy enough to get through most stages on the first or second try, especially if you’re not overly concerned with collecting the various coins and items that sit in perilous places throughout each stage, or even with getting every single Mini through the door (so long as you rescue at least one, the next stage will unlock). However, to get bronze, silver, and especially gold ratings on each stage, you’ll have to spend a good deal of time practicing each stage, discovering all the ways you can use your multiple Minis to get through faster and more efficiently. March of the Minis is the very definition of easy to learn, tough to master, and it squeezes out a good bit more replay value than its predecessor simply for that fact. You can bust through the single-player mode in maybe three or four hours, but it will take you much longer than that if you want to hit gold ratings on every stage.

You’ll almost certainly want to keep playing, because March of the Minis is such a great bit of fun. Stages rarely take more than a minute or two at a time, but guiding the Minis around each stage’s various obstacles is quite an addictive endeavor. There are so many little details to keep track of, such as enemies you can ride or use to hop high distances, platforms and walls that can be removed and repurposed elsewhere, switches that remove walls but create others, fire traps, spike pits, water spouts, and so on. There’s a great variety to the stages, even if the controls don’t involve more than simple stylus swipes.

In the last stage of each world, you’ll go up against Donkey Kong in a boss battle. These are a little different than in the last game, as technically all you’re doing is launching Minis out of a cannon at an exposed DK. However, there is a bit more to it than that. For one, the number of Minis you rescue throughout a world’s stages ends up being the number of Minis you can use to shoot at DK. Hitting DK with a shot doesn’t decrease your ammo count, but being hit with one of the various objects DK throws down at you, or firing into a spiked barrier, random floating enemy, or other such obstacle will cost you one Mini. You have to continuously rotate your cannon around to avoid objects, as well as adjust based on where DK appears on the top screen, as he’s quite nimble and likes to move around. The last boss battle in the game changes the game up a bit. We won’t spoil it for you, but we will say it’s much more like the classic Donkey Kong that most have come to know and love over the years.

If you tire of the available stages at any point, you can opt to create your own using the game’s construction mode. With this mode, you simply pick one of the available worlds and start building a new stage using any of the available set pieces, traps, and enemies found in those specific worlds. As level editors go, it’s a fairly easy and fun one to use, and you can create excellent stages without having to spend hours at a time painstakingly placing items. But what fun would it be if you couldn’t show off your creations? Fortunately, March of the Minis lets you trade levels both by syncing up with a friend that has a DS and a copy of the game or online via the Nintendo Wi-Fi service. Simply hop online, hook up with another player, and send and recieve levels using the easy-to-navigate online menus. It’s a relatively simple process and a great way to add new content to the game.

Mr. Kong, you may consider yourself canonized.

As far as presentation is concerned, March of the Minis is a sharp and colorful-looking game that takes its cues from Mario and Donkey Kong games of the past. Though none of the stages are particularly large, everything has a crisp, bright look to it, and the character graphics are simply adorable. Mini-Marios are undeniably cute as they mechanically wander around a level, periodically turning to the camera to cheer or crumbling to pieces when they hit an enemy or fall into a trap. The audio design is also very well done. The music is catchy and even includes a few familiar old Donkey Kong tunes; the sound effects are pleasant and don’t repeat overly much; and the cute little vocalizations the Minis make are hard not to love.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2 may not play quite the same way the original game did, but the new take on the formula is a fun and refreshing one. The touch-screen controls are easy to get a handle on, and with more than 80 different stages to play through, as well as the construction mode, you’ll find yourself with plenty to do. It’s simply a great time for Mario fans and puzzle fans alike.
