Game Blog / The WTMK Updates Just Don't Stop....

« on: August 24, 2007, 09:37:41 AM »

For the weekend, a new selection of Mario tunes has been added to the WTMK playlist.

You can expect to hear music from Super Paper Mario, Super Princess Peach, Wario Ware: Smooth Moves, and a few other titles.  Can you guess what else has been added?

Here's a hint... two of the selections tie into a hardware line, while the third could be called a trifle more flat.

Game Blog / WTMK Updated! (Finally)

« on: August 11, 2007, 02:35:28 AM »

Well, it's been a bit dry for a stretch, but TMK's streaming radio channel, WTMK, has been updated with new music and a few surprises... now featuring music from Yoshi's Island DS, Mario vs. DK 2: March of the Minis, Mario Hoops 3-on-3, and more tunes from Yoshi Touch & Go.

Yes, it's a very DS WTMK over at http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/wtmk.shtml .

Game Blog / Super Mario Bros. DX - Replaying

« on: July 23, 2007, 09:19:50 AM »

So I stumbled across my SMB Deluxe cart recently and starting playing through it again... yes, I know, there are much better ways to play it on handhelds these days, but I do find myself wishing Nintendo did a few more of these mild updates.  I'm starting to think that with the advent of the Virtual Console, most remakes of classic titles will cease.

That's probably a good thing, but there is something interesting about playing through different versions of a game.  There are at least four different versions of Super Mario Bros. out there (3, if you discount the arcade title), each with a slightly different feel to it.

Just in case you folks missed it, Wario: Master of Diguise was released at some point last week.

I am underwhelmed.

Deezer, I'll write a review this time, really.

...'cause no matter how far away you roam,
If you want to be happy in a million ways,
For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home...

Well, I'm back home for my lengthy Christmas vacation.  Aren't you all excited?

Military Madness has been downloaded, the Wii I won in a contest arrived, and I have a pile of stuff to unpack.

How is your life going?

Game Blog / Faux Luigi Escorted From Property

« on: December 04, 2006, 12:00:25 AM »

At a Wii launch in Japan, someone showed up dressed in a fairly nice Luigi costume.  He helped launch the system and sell the first game.

The problem was that he wasn't an NCL employee... just a random guy in a nice Luigi suit.

(Deezer, care to help translate?)

Game Blog / Universal Citywalk Launch Photos -- find the TMK Sticker!

« on: November 19, 2006, 03:39:00 PM »

Hey there, everyone.

I was at the (somewhat insane) Universal Citywalk Wii launch event last night, and I handed out a lot of TMK stickers -- somewhere between 150 and 200.  This means that these stickers should be popping up in photographs all over the web.  If you can find a photo with a TMK sticker, post a link in here... please!

Also, if I met you last night, you're really cool. Trust me on that.
