Funny RedSteel Glitch

Ubisoft’s RedSteel for Wii has some problems. It’s usually nothing major and what I show in this video isn’t really either. You’re not say, constantly falling through the level. At least, I havn’t done that so far. But anyways, this thing resulted from a physics glitch, you know how I love those!

oh RAGDOLL!
YMCA, Ragdoll Edition

At first I couldn’t decide if I should put this in a video I plan on uploading in the near future along with a review of the game. In the end I came to the conclusion that this is good enough to stand by itself and that it was too big to ‘fit’ in with everything else as a whole. I swear, there should be a whole game based around trying to cause physics engine glitches. I mean it is the next lead in gaming.

Virtual Console Update 1

Today a new game became available for download via the Wii Virtual Console service. This is the first update to the list since it launched about a week and a half ago. The new title?

Super Star Soldier

A TurboGrafx 16 game called “Super Star Soldier”, a verticle top down space shooter made by Hudson Soft. The game costs 600 VC Points ($6.00) to download and can be played with the Wii Remote, Classic Controller, or a GameCube controller.

Hopefully we will continue to see a steady stream of feature and content updates for Wii and the Virtual Console. I want to be able to spin the globe in the Forecast Channel for no apparent reason. Perhaps it has something to do with my obsession of world domination… hmmm.

So whats coming next? Could it be? … ZERO WING?! …. Make your time people, make your time.

*Update*: Ecco the Dolphin and Golden Axe for Sega Genesis have also been added to the list.

Like Pringles?

Do you like Pringles? Do you want a Wii? Do you not have enough money for neither? If you’re someone who fits that description, then you’ll definitely want to know about this.

Clicky

You see that? Pringles is holding a Wii giveaway on their website Pringles.Com! Now, you’ll have to refer to their official rules, but I’m pretty sure this is for North America only and I believe you can enter once a day.

If you win one be sure to tell us about it!

Photo Channel Fun

I swear I’m working on those videos! I swear! But in the meantime check out something I made with the Photo Channel. Don’t ask me why, but I think this sort of thing is awesome.

By the way, did you know you can email attached pictures to the Wii? That could be pretty useful if you don’t have an SD card reader attached to your PC.� Neato.

Wii + Zelda = Death of Updates

Woah! There wasn’t a full update yesterday? What in tarnation?! I wonder what could have caused such a thing! … It’s because there’s a Wii and a copy of Zelda sitting about 10 feet from where I write these things..

REGGIE

It calls… with a reverberating voice reminiscent of that of Reggies. “Alex”, it says ” I know you want to go Wiiiiiiiiiiiiii”. I turn, look at that glowing disk slot, notice there’s a message for me to read and say, “I know Reggie, I know… but Reggie, I need to update Bomb-Omb!”. With a smooth pulse of the disk drive is how Reggie demonstrates his dominance. “Enough of that! You can do that later WHEN I’M DONE WITH YOU!” Reggie blares. I clutch the Wiimote tighter uncontrollably, “Yes! You’re right Reggie! You’re always right! Later! I can do it later!” and so the game continues.

By the way, as much as I still love the Red Steel advertising, I think the game needs some fixing. Ubisoft, make it happen. I’ll explain more later. In the meantime, rent it or borrow it to check it out.
Expect to see some neato video features on the Wii soon. Also expect some non-typical ones. I hardly do this stuff till the last minute so here’s your chance to influence my tiny mind! Tell me what you would like to know or see demonstrated and I’ll be sure to include it in the video, just for you! Leave a comment or send it in on the Contact Page!

“ALEX!”
“Yes! I’m sorry Reggie!”

Waiting In Lines

UPDATED: The new finished video has been uploaded! Check it out below!

This week is dedicated to standing in lines for game consoles (and Tickle Me Elmo). With the PS3 and the Wii both launching those lines are sure to be seen anywhere that sells them. BestBuy, Taget, Wally World, anywhere you go you’ll see them, perhaps sleeping on garbage bags in the rain like seen in the below video.
