As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, 3DS game Code of Princess is coming to North America in October. If that weren’t awesome enough, if you preorder the game you get an art book and soundtrack. So this week, I took the plunge and ordered it. I am pretty excited about the game, although the book looks a bit small. Maybe they just scaled down the size of it to fit the picture. Oh well, even a small book with art from Kinu Nishimura is still awesome.
Here’s a new clip full of game play for yall still thinking about picking this one up. I can’t tell you the last time I played a beat-em up. I’ve super jazzed. ^_^
Have you ever bought an item on auction thinking you where getting the genuine item only to find out that it was counterfeit? I have. I remember looking for Mega Man Zero 1, 2 and 3 for GameBoy Advance back in the early 2000’s. I found an auction for the games on Ebay and so I bid… and won. I was so happy to finally get them, but I did find them to be a bit strange. The colour of the cartridges to be a darker grey and they fit slightly more snug then a normal cart. A few weeks later I was mentioning this to my wife and she noticed the it said “Nintondo” on the back of it. I was floored. I couldn’t believe I had been taken so easily. Mind you the games worked fine… mostly. Years later I discovered I couldn’t save a game past the second slot. I learned my lesson on buying games of Ebay with that purchase. Although I do wonder why they didn’t just put Nintendo on the back of the game. They where all ready ripping them off so they might as well go the extra distance to make it a “perfect” fake.
We’ve discovered other fake things off Ebay in the past few years. We’ve recently bought bootleg Disney pins and movies too without realizing it until it’s too late. Although now we notify Ebay and get our money back when we can. Although now we buy artisan crafts and things you can’t really counterfeit. That or we just stay away from on-line auctions in general.
Does it bother you to have a fake version of something or are you just as happy with it as long as it works properly?
I wasn’t feeling well this weekend (What the hell?! How many more times am I going to get sick this year? o_O), so when I wasn’t sweating my ass off or getting the chills from just sitting there, I decided to play some games. Now to those new to the site, I don’t get much time to play console games. Play lots of portable games on my 3DS, but sadly I lack the time to sit and play a larger game. Not this weekend. I finally set myself a goal and finished Super Paper Mario for the Wii. The game only came out in 2007 and has sat in my collection ever since. But now I can cross it off! WOooooo! Now I only have to play… a crap ton more. I’ve got more games in my collection that I’ve yet to play, I wonder if I’ll ever get through them all.
So, what did I think of Super Paper Mario. I liked it a lot. I loved the platform adventure with a dash of 3d mixed in. I felt there was lots for me to do and never thought that things where getting dull. The story was pretty good and even had things that I wouldn’t have expected to happen. Over all it was a great title and I’m glad I have it in my collection. Now on to the next one. I think I’ll put in Metriod: Corruption or Sin and Punishment: Star Successor. Although I have wanted to play my copy of Ico for some time now…
What’s the last game you finished? Did you like it?
Tissues, ice cream and energy drinks. What do these things have in common? They’re all products that have used as promotional tie ins with 3DS game Senran Kagura Burst. The energy drink is the newest one… sort of. Apparently when the first Senran Kagura came out the energy drink was also a promo item one could buy. But this isn’t any energy drink. It’s claim is that it’ll help you get a boner after your first “victory” so you’re ready for round two.

I’ve made more than a few posts about Senran Kagura Burst. The sequel to the 3DS fighting game which focuses on… well… boobs. 3D boobs. First there was the tissue box promotional item, now there is the double ice cream dessert. This ample treat will be at Akihabara’s Cafe Euro from the 10th to the 19th. I need to scoop my ice cream with more cleavage.
A buddy of mine tipped me off on this clip after we where talking about which games don’t have a story behind them. He pipped up “even Tetris has one”. I don’t know how accurate this is to actual Russian history, but is sure is catchy. Now I wish I still had my GameBoy Tetris. I’ll have to go buy one. It is, of course, the quintessential Tetris.
