Gamer Graffix

February 19, 2008

I’ve made a post about Console Skins before. But, those skins were from ConsoleShop.com. These skins are a little different that theres. ConsoleShop skins/faceplates are custom designs. GamerGraffix are skins based off a franchise, or series. They have Halo 3 , Heavenly Sword, Call of Duty 4, Naurto, and other skins. They don’t have many (If any) Wii skins. They mainly have 360 and some PS3.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl!

February 15, 2008

Well, I’ve been waiting to make this topic for some time now – and today is the day I’ll make it. If you have no idea what the Super Smash Bros, your missing out.

SSB (Super Smash Bros) is a game that can have up to four players. Instead of health, you get a damage counter. You start with 0%. The higher it is, the farther you fly when hit. SSB features multiple Nintendo characters such as Mario, Luigi, Peach, and so on. However, Brawl, will feature more characters. Such as Snake and Sonic the Hedgehog. Super Smash Bros (The first) was released for Nintendo64. The sequel, Super Smash Bros Melee, was released for Nintendo GameCube. And now, Super Smash Bros Brawl is coming out. It’s already been released in Japan. It’s current USA release date is March 9th, 2008.

If you want to learn more about SSBB, or find out how the development of the game is going, go to the main Brawl site. Smash Bros Dojo!

 P.S. I’ve noticed I haven’t been posted daily lately, I should be able to now. Depends on whether or not I have something to post about.

Wiimote Jackets

February 9, 2008

A Wiimote Jacket protects your Wiimote from being damanged when dropped.

If you don’t have a Wiimote Jacket, then you can order one from Nintendo. And the best part is: It’s free. You don’t have to pay shipping and handling either (I just ordered me 2 :) ). It’s fairly easy to order as well, you simply put in your Wii’s serial code, select your country, how many you want, and then proceed to shipping information. And then you wait for it to arrive. So, what are you waiting for?
Get your Wiimote Jackets now!
*NOTE: The above link only works for America/Canada, you will have to go to the Nintendo website for where you live to order.*

 P.S. Changed the blog’s theme as well as other info for the blog. Hope everyone likes the new look.


Console Skins

Wii Accessories

February 6, 2008

I mentioned Wii Accessories before, but, they were all weapons for First Person Shooters. Today, I’m going to post different accessories that can be used.

Wii Wheel
Wii Racing Wheel
I mentioned the Wii Wheel before while talking about Mario Kart Wii (See Post). The Wii Wheel cost around $10. It will be used for Mario Kart Wii and probably other racing games.

Wii Sports Pack
Wii Sports Pack
If you have a Wii, chances are you have Wii Sports. You can now play Wii Sports with a special kind of controller. The pack includes a tennis racket, baseball bat, and golf club. There’s nothing in it for Bowling and Boxing. It costs around $20 for it all.

Then of course, there’s the Wii Weapons.

Wii Charge Stations

February 5, 2008

If you haven’t already got a Wii Charge Station, you may need to consider getting one.

If you play your Wii, the batteries in the Wiimote will run out eventually, causing you to keep buying batteries. But with the Wii Charge Station, you don’t have to. You simple but it and it includes the Charge Station and two new batteries, and new battery covers. It works for 2 Wiimotes. And the best part is it recharges fairly quickly. The first couple of times it takes a while though.
Wii Charge Station

It costs around $35.

Wii Weapons

February 4, 2008

Yes, there are other ways to play shooters with Nintendo Wii.

 Here’s one, called Wii Zaper.
Nintendo Wii Zapper with Link's Crossbow TrainingIt’s called the Wii Zapper and it’s around $25. It includes the thing that holds the Wiimote and Nunchuk, but the Wiimote and Nunchuk aren’t included. It also comes with Link’s Crossbow Training to test out your new accessory.

The next Wii Weapon is:
Wii BlasterThe Wii Blaster. And it looks kind of like a shotgun. Unlike the Wii Zapper, it doesn’t come with any game, but it’s $20. The Wii Zapper is probably a better buy though.

The third Wii Weapon is:
Wii Perfect ShotWii Perfect Shot. It looks like a handgun. It doesn’t include a game and is priced at $15. The Wii Perfect Shot hasn’t been released yet (In the US). It’s release date is February 11, 2008.

That’s it for the Wii Weapons.

Rock Band for the Wii

February 2, 2008

Rock Band is a game that plays very similar to Guitar Hero. If you don’t know what Guitar Hero is, well it’s basically like Dance Dance Revolution. Except you have to play Guitar notes to match the songs, instead of hitting arrows. Guitar Hero III has been released for Wii, but Rock Band has not. Rock band not only has a guitar, but drums, and a microphone. It costs about $170 dollers. Guitar Hero, with guitar control, cost about $80-$100. You can also download songs to them from Xbox Live Arcade (Or whatever it’s called).

There is no release date for Rock Band for the Wii yet.

But wait, the Wii version won’t let you download songs. There’s going to be a new channel that is like Xbox Live Arcade, but for Nintendo things. (For more on channels, see Channel Post).

Mario Kart Wii

January 28, 2008

I finally found a video of Mario Kart Wii. Nintendo doesn’t have anything about it on there website. It’s a shame really. It looks like it’ll be a really good game.

I have no idea when it’ll be released, but it should be sometime in the first quarter of 2008. Hopefully.

Well here’s the video of Mario Kart Wii. Watch It.

The video is only a minute long, but it does show the new Wii Wheel that will be released along Mario Kart Wii. I think it looks nice. :)
