Super Amazing Incredibly Well Done Metroid Wii Mod

September 27th 2007 Posted in Game Culture
Check out this “Super Amazing Incredibly Well Done Metroid Wii Mod”. It’s incredible!  Even the Wii Remote has been been painted and modded to have the A button glow. The Screw Attack Emblem is actually made out of metal and everything. Ramon Stokes, the man who made this awesome piece of work is the same person who made the Zelda Wii mods, but I think this one is the best one yet.
What’s the you say? You say you want one? Well, you can! It’s for sale on eBay right now. All the proceeds are going to be donated to Child’s Play.
Check his site and auction for more picture and a YouTube video of the controller.

Message to Leaving NOA Staff

September 26th 2007 Posted in Game Culture
With Nintendo of America relocating from Redmond, Washington to California, and the Nintendo Power magazine being out sourced to Future, NOA is going to lose some valuable employees who understandably don’t want to make the move. I don’t blame them, I wouldn’t want to move from Redmond to San Francisco either.
And so, we at Bomb-Omb wish all employees our thanks for helping Nintendo stay our favorite company out there. Good luck to those who move on to other things whether they be retirement, another job, or continued service under the Reggie Regime. You guys have been awesome.

Kirby's AvalancheLegend of Hero TonmaStreets of Rage 3

This week’s Virtual Console update includes Kirby’s Avalanche for the SNES, THE LEGEND OF HERO TONMA for Turbografx16, and Streets of Rage 3 for Sega Genesis.I like how THE LEGEND OF HERO TONMA seems to require me to all caps and bold its name. That’s pretty cool.

NOA Forums Potentially Closing

September 17th 2007 Posted in Game Culture
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

In a sneaky opportunistic fashion I offer you potential NOA Forums refugees into Bomb-Omb’s community.

Virtual Console Update 40

September 17th 2007 Posted in Virtual Console
Super Thunder BladeYoshi's StoryWorld Class Baseball

Let me be honest here, I’ve only played one of these, and it’s quite possibly the gayest looking one here… not that there’s anything wrong with that. Anyway, this week’s VC Update includes Super Thunder Blade for Sega Genesis, Yoshi’s Story for the N64, and World Class Baseball for Turbografx16.

Gay or not, Yoshi’s Story is a fine game, and as I recall, a great looking one as well. It combines 2D sprites and 3D, something that wasn’t done enough at the beginning of the 3D era. Full details inside.

NES Controller Wallpaper

September 13th 2007 Posted in Game Culture, Free Stuff
NES Controller Dual Screen wallpaper

I have a dual monitor setup that is extremely useful. It’s actually sort of hard to find wallpaper designed for this setup, especially game wallpaper. So, I created my own and have been using it for a bit and decided to host it here.

I know most people don’t have a dual screen setup so I went ahead and made standard 4:3 and 16:9 widescreen versions as well. The dual monitor version is made for my resolutions and you may have to tinker around with it. Feel free to use or modify however you wish.

Makes Pictures, Win Stuff

September 12th 2007 Posted in Free Stuff

If you’ve got some drawing talent or perhaps some photoshop skills, you could potentially be interested in this DK Jungle Climber contest. The prizes are DS Lites and a copy of said game, of which there are 8 winners. While that isn’t exactly a mind blowing prize, it’s still a shiny new DS Lite. And you know how much we like shiny around here.

Don’t forget to read the rules, this has nothing to do with us.
