Impressions: The end of the Wii and Wii Mini

A week ago, nintendo confirmed that no more First-party games will be made for the Wii, that new games will be coming out in the nintendo select edition and also a new Wii redesing coming out in december, what are our opinions about the game?, lets find out.





Peabody"s impressions:
While it makes me sad to see that the Wii"s lifespan is slowly coming to an end, i can honestly say i enjoyed a lot my Wii and it makes me kind of happy to see things move along and see how everything progresses, the nintendo selects thing is something really nice and it will make the most popular Wii games more avaibable and cheaper for the people who really dont have much money.

Now the Wii Mini..., in terms of the console its nothing new, its just a diferent designed Wii with no gamecube or online features but i think it is not a bad idea, that way people with little money can buy the Wii Mini and enjoy because if you already have a Wii dont buy it.



Conclusion:
While its sad to say goodbye to the new Wii games, i think the wii is still breathing, it calls my attention the new nintendo selects and nintendo is trying to do something with the Wii before it dies.

Review: Paper Mario Sticker Star

In 2010 a trailer for a new Paper Mario game was annouced for the new 3DS, i was excited when it was annouced and I was ready to buy it, i was really hyped considering the last Paper Mario game didnt actually count as a Paper Mario game, so after a week of playing it non stop, what do i think about the game?, lets find out!


PAPER MARIO STICKER STAR REVIEW!


Kersti, your partner/helper

The story!:
This game begins with Mario, Peach and hundreds of toads celebrating a holiday called the Sticker Fest, that consists on a comet called the "Sticker Comet" and people making wishes so their wishes come true, when the comet falls Bowser tries to grab it which results in comet exploding in lots of stickers and 6 Royal Crowns, one of this crowns falls into Bowser and he transforms into Sticker Bowser, Mario tries to fight him but fails and everything gets wrecked, while investigating the wrecking Mario finds a Silver sticker crown called Kersti, she tells him that he needs to get the 5 royal Crowns to restore the Sticker Comet, the history is nice, not bad and the character of Kersti is not bad either.






The Gameplay!:

If you have played Paper Mario before, you should now how the gameplay works, well this game has a really diferent gameplay style, instead of leveling up and using special powers like the Crystal Stars or the Star Spirits, instead mario uses stickers to attack, this stickers come in a big variety, from Fire flowers to Special Hammer to even special jumps, the enemys you kill will give you money to buy stickers, back from the other Paper Mario games is the action commands, you can block an attack to reduce the damage or timing well your attacks to do extra damage.

This Paper Mario has something diferent, a level system and a world map, there is a main town in which you can buy stickrs and a diferent kind of sticker called Thing Stickers, these are really strong but you have to find them hidden between levels, you pick a level and you have to find a comet sticker thing, while searching it you have to fight enemies and resolve puzzles.

Its something really Diferent.

There are alternate exits in many levels and there are a total of 6 worlds, 5 of them being worlds in which you have to find the royal sticker and the last one being Bowser Castle/Land, at the end of each world you will find a boss wearing a Royal Sticker and you have to beat it.



A boss wearing a royal sticker.
But there are no partners in this game aside from Kersti which i dont count as a partner to begin with, many RPG elements are gone and the game is something diferent than the other paper mario games which doesnt make it bad but if you are playing this game for the RPG then you will be kinda dissapointed.









The Graphics!:
Doesnt he look amazing?
Now, let me get this out the way right now, this is the best looking Paper Mario game EVER, every background and sprite look amazing, the stickers look detailed and awesome, Mario looks overall better and i like all the sticker enemy designs, specially Sticker Bowser.




The detail is everywhere and it looks amazing, even for a 3DS game, you feel immersed in the paper mario world and thats an achievement, the 3D effect is ok but I personally dont use it that much.



The Music!:
While the music is not incredibly memorable, it is relaxing and quite nice to listen to, my favorite themes are the Delcalburg town and the boss fight themes are my favorite.


The Replay Value!:
There are quite some things to do after you finish the game and the game itself is replayable, not as much as the other ones but its still nice in terms of replayability.


Conclusion:
While is not as good as the other games and the RPG system is barebones, if you look at the game for itself and for the sticker system and the game in general, it deserves a shot.





                                                  7.5/10
               A 7 means the game is pretty good, while not perfect the game is still enjoyable.

See you later everyone!, planing to review something really special, next time. DK64!

Retro Review: Metal Slug X

Hey guys, its Dead-Pool here to bring you another retro-review, but this review is not like the others, this is about a PS1 game that starts in the classic game machines, with the classic controls, this game is called
METAL SLUG X!!!!!!!!
3
2
1
.
.
.
GO!!!!




The story!

In general this game got the same story as Metal Slug 2 because this version isa remake, SNK(metal slug developer) made Metal Slug X with more weapons, the story is about a man called General Morden, the antagonist from the first game is back once more with his army, decided on taking over the world AGAIN. It is up to the Peregrine Falcon squad who are joined by two new characters: Eri Kasamoto and Fiollina Germi of the Sparrows Inteligence Unit, to save the day.

The gameplay!

In Metal Slug X, the gameplay is like the old ones, a 2D game based in war aspects, this is like Contra too, but this game got new features because this is a remake of the second one. In this game, the player can turn fat in various areas of the fame, instead of just on mission 4. There is also a new enemy called Dog Mummy, as well as a few variations of the Mummy that appeared in Metal Slug 3. 
Metal Slug Type - R.gif  The SV-001 got an upgraded version that is faster and can jump higher, and the Camel Slug"s   vulcan was slightly modified.

Character selection
In this game you can chosse between four awesome characters: Marco, Eri, Tarma and Fio. All are good options to play but i always use Tarma because for me is the coolest and his sunglasses are awesome. In general, all are the same but some of them got more speed, the story is the same for all characters.

THE CAMEL WINS
In the end of all levels there"s 1 boss, the first of all is like a big airplane called The Kessi. The Kessi is a VTOL gunship meant to provide close air support to ground troops. It"s equipped with anti-air guns on its wings and also can throw you bombs HEAVY BOMBS
but their lenght is enough to carry support tanks on them.

FINALLY, when you beat all the levels and you get to the final of the mission 6, you have to beat THE RUGNAME......
clear=right
Is something above me......
He acts as the Martian Mothership from which troops are dispatched. Its very heavy armored, and far too large to destroy with regular weapons. The Rugname"s massive size makes he an easy target, all you need to do is aim upwards. Because the cannon will always hit the same spot, the larger the larger threat is unlimited horde of mini-UFO gunning you. After a very long time fighting that beast, a rebel in a Eaca-B will make a kamikaze attack into the core, making it retreat.




The graphics!

This has very good graphics compared to the old ones, the backgrounds and sprites look amazing and the bosses looks detailed For an old game, is very detailed, all look kinda realistic for a game in the PS1.







The music!

In this game the music cant be heared good because all you heard is the PIU PIU PIU of the weapons and explosions. But if you heard carefully you are going to heard a good war song that get you pumped.










The replay value!

You can do a lot of things after beating the game like collecting all the weapons and ride all vehicles that you want. This game is really fun and you can beat it a lot of times LIKE ME, i beat this game like 10 times and i never get bored.


Conclusion. If you got a PS1 and you want to play a game for long time, buy this game and get fun with it.







                                            


      7.5/10
A 7 means the game is pretty good, while not perfect the game is still enjoyable.

See you later in my next review, top ten or any idea came to my mind
