About Me


I'm a woman who loves her video games. I'm also pretty much a nerd for all that is nerdy: MST3K/Riff Trax, Star Wars, Anime/Manga, Kevin Smith, X-men Comics, and of course all things video games. Someday, I would look to get paid to write for and/or about video games. I'm awesome, so it'll will probably happen.

I have a strong hatred for the Atlantic Ocean.



Yoshi BBFs forever: Me, Suff0cat, Wardrox, and ScottyG.

Preferred games are RPGs and puzzle games. I like the occasional FPS (Timesplitters: FuturePerfect being my favorite) and some racing (Burnout Reveeeeenge).

Current Games:
Burnout Paradise
Left 4 Dead
Space Invaders Extreme
Harvest Moon Island of Happiness
Chrono Trigger DS



My Project 365

Notable C-Blogs:
The Start of the Affair: Harvest Moon

I also write a bit for Negative Gamer.

Nerd Alert Buys: Nintendo Micro VS System
nintendoll | 12:16 PM on 05.21.2008 12 comments


Ok now, I'm not even going to rate this because this seems like more of a collector's item for the Nintendo enthusiast.
National Console Support is selling the Nintendo Micro VS System with Donkey Kong Hockey. This handheld system is made for two people to play...awkwardly. It was release in Japan, China, and Europe...24 years ago, around the same time as Game & Watch, so you can guess how awesome the graphics are.



Basically, it is like shitty, portable air hockey. With "crazy spots" apparently (see the verbatim transcription of the game manual on the site).

The only reason I could imagine that someone would want to own this is to have a piece of Nintendo history. Or to win a "who's a bigger nerd" contest. At $55, you might thing one of the following: 1. FUCK NO or 2. Small price to pay for a piece of gaming history.

You decide. THE POWER IS YOOOOOOOOOOOOURS!

if they made a mario hockey, i think yoshi would make a great goalie...

his tongue and ability to eat would be second only to petey piranha's giant head.

As a Nintendo lover, I like what BlackSheep is saying. Too bad it would be all waggle based and pander to the masses. Mario Hockey could be win, or terrible and another example of their frequent whoring.

On Topic, I would not buy this. Fuck no. I don't need a piece of gaming history, I've lived it for the most part. At least, the Nintendo days and on.

I saw this somewhere like...just yesterday. Strangely odd.

though I can't find it more than a collector's item. But it makes me wonder just how close do you need to be to play that damn thing?

I'd buy that Captain Planet for $55.

I've got one of these in the attic somewhere!
Two player game & Watch is the shit, but in the one i own you compete with Mario and Donkey Kong throwing bees at eachother. No joke.
Seriously, it's still kinda fun to play with a friend. I imagine it's ridiculously sad to play them by yourself though...
