Pokemon Black/White first footage!

Written by pikaby




Is this Pokemon Sunday? Oh wait, it is Sunday. After last week's false alarm this time Pokemon Sunday showed a bit about Black/White, though it's nothing new.

The footage in that video was showing the trainer moving through that circular shaped city seen on one of the early screenshots. It's the same, only this time it's moving. And  it's moving.....largely how I expected it to. Still, nice surprise to see a video out so soon.

The other thing was the battle scene, but it's just the same screenshot of Zorua and Zoroark. I guess they can't show any actual battles at all until some of the Pokemon are revealed. Game Freak really orchestrate which piece of Pokemon info has to be released first and last, lol.

And there goes XBox Live

Written by pikaby

Didn't expect Microsoft to shut down the original XBox's online servers so soon. It went offline on April 15th, and there were so many Halo 2 memorials and final online matches I couldn't count them...they're everywhere. I don't own an XBox or go online that often, but I thought I'd pay homage to it anyway.

Microsoft's saying it's for the better- more improvements are coming to the 360's XBox Live service after the shutdown. E3 2010 for details, they're saying.

Wonder when the DS' online servers will go offline- never. Okay, maybe not, but not anytime soon.

Nintendo DSi first month sales!

Written by pikaby



So that's where it went. I'd been wondering how well it did for the past few days, and I just remembered I hadn't heard a thing about hardware sales figures for a while now. Just what the doctor ordered. So, how'd the DSi XL do in the wake of the 3DS announcement?

Mario Galaxy 2: Cloud Mario!

Written by pikaby

Thanks to a tip off from mod toadster101.

The outfit looks sweet, although a bit too much resemblance to Fire Mario, just look at the color of his clothes. Other than that it's fluffy and awesome. But what's it do? Bee Mario already allows you to step on clouds, maybe you can make your own clouds and step on them to jump higher? Cheat. That'd break the balance of the game.

There should be an explanation to this over the next few days, so stay tuned.

Tohjo Falls has a secret...

Written by Pokefreak



And it pertains to the Celebi event being given out in japanese theatres at the movie premier. Who knew that's where that man was hiding? A rumour to the area to fight him? Can we do it again?

Be warned. This post contains MAJOR spoilers for the event. Click "read more" at your own risk.

Ivy the Kiwi?

Written by pikaby


See the question mark at the end of the game title? That's me wondering what the hell it was when I stumbled across it by accident on the Japanese Namco website.

It's a stylus/touch pen puzzler originally released on PCs and is now going to both the Wii and the DS in Japan simultaneously on April 22, 2010. When it'll be released on those two consoles in the US, only time will tell. Besides, it's pretty obscure from where I am.

First impression I got was the unique art style. The gameplay didn't jump out at me screaming 'creative', but I'll find out more about 'Ivy the Kiwi?' tomorrow.
