"brawl"mart part 2
dadudebob | 4:11 PM on 03.07.2008 2 comments


posted this yesterday
went back this morning, no luck, all the copies were gone. either they realized the mistake or they sold them all. both seem possible, but who really knows?

i realize what canceling my amazon preorder was stupid, that i got the $4 next day shipping before it expired and i cant get that again.
i think im gonna attempt the midnight launch at my local gamestop, im thinking of trading stuff in, probably carnival games and metroid, question: if you trade in mario galaxy($30) and zelda($20) are you still gonna have to pay the $10 in the deal? plus you get an extra $10 for trading in.
i haven't bought a game for full $50 in a while, why should i start now?
i saved brawl to my gamefly queue, just in case. i could have it til they say i can buy it from them, which might be a week or 2 or less
i gotta get this game!

brawl sighting at local Wal-mart. also happy birthday wii
dadudebob | 7:16 PM on 03.06.2008 12 comments


I was at my local Walmart (Brick, NJ) today and saw Brawl on the shelf, i was thinking about it, but knowing i have my order from amazon coming, i could just wait til tues, but i decided to cancel that order. i think im going back tomorrow to get it, hopefully they sell it. i decided to get a gc controller too, over a classic controller. after a bit of deciding, figure if i needed to play a gc game, which is unlikely these days, but who knows?
what would you do? would you of gotten brawl knowing you ordered it and it coming next week? also would of gotten a gc cotroller over a classic controller?
sorry no pix, i was thinking about it, but decided i not to

its just about the time i got my wii last year, give or take a few days, though i think its exactly today. in a year, i have gotten about 20 regular games and about 25 virtual console games, would of averaged to 2 games a month if i didnt not care for a few months. its lasted me this whole time, not one problem with it so far, hopefully it last for a few more years to come. yay for nintendo making a reliable console for once:)

ill keep you updated if i get the game

wiiviews: Samurai Warriors: Katana plus wii month in review/ months to come
dadudebob | 8:53 PM on 01.18.2008 2 comments


i think it was pretty good, plenty of levels in story mode. for the most part, the controls are good, the sword fighting is cool, compared to other fps games, the free walking mode feels a bit tight, great visuals, the store is cool too, plenty of upgrades and stuff
8/10
rent: compared to red steel, this was awesome

the past month for wii was pretty good, some decent virtual console games, though 2/week isnt cutting it, seeing how they are at 196 might have something to do w/ it, they are either gonna put out 2 more this and next week, or they might give us 4 this week, i would expect #200 to be a big one

now that No More Heroes is out next week and Super Smash Bros is out in March, Feb isn't looking too good. Next week seems good, March seems to be amazing
