Pokemon Black/White- Another leaked Pokemon

Written by pikaby

These are going to be in the August CoroCoro magazine, I can feel it. The new leaked Pokemon is the new 'caterpillar' Pokemon of Gen 5. 'Tis cute- it's already leagues ahead of Weedle and that stupid annoying thing Wurmple. Hopefully not a Poison-type. It'll probably wear out on me after I see it for the gazillionth time in the grass, but whatever. It's still a much better design. A half-eaten leaf for a hat- why didn't they think of this before?

Revealed together with it are the pictures for the unnamed swan Pokemon and the deer Pokemon, Shikijika.


Wait, doesn't Shikijika look familiar?

Yeah. See the resemblance? Shikijika really does look a lot like a pink Shellos. Oh yeah, and Victini's type is now known too.

It's a hybrid. Psychic/Fire type. That's the first time I've heard of it....potential number of weaknesses increased. The only advantage that I can see from this is that as a Psychic-type, Victini isn't weak to Bug-type moves, which is always a huge headache for them. He's gonna need some good moves and good stats if he wants to live up to his name as the 'Victory Pokemon'. Lol.

Best 5 Mario Galaxy 2 Moments

Written by pikaby

Don't ask what kept me, but I've only just barely, finished playing Super Mario Galaxy 2. Each and every galaxy had me in awe. No idea was recycled. Nothing felt like I had done it before. Galaxy 2 feels new from the start to the very end. And of course, picking out five of my top moments has to be one heck of a task, but here I go.

Nintendo missing out on developing nations

Written by pikaby

From the Kotaku article.

"It is true that not only those in Japan and the other developed countries in North America and Europe but also those in several countries with rapid economic development can afford more entertainment than before", he says. "And it is vital for our basic strategy of 'gaming population expansion' that more people in such countries as well as in Japan, North America and Europe, enjoy our video games and feel convinced to pay for them."

"Meanwhile, some in newly-emerging countries do not have an established custom of paying for software", Iwata continues. "We do wonder if the traditional business model of the video game industry will succeed in such regions. If we do totally different business there with cheaper services and software than developed countries, people in developed countries would have negative feelings toward us and say, 'why do we have to pay much more than those playing video games elsewhere?' This could be one of the biggest problems for us that would need to be solved. Needless to say, popularizing our video games throughout newly-emerging countries is indispensable for Nintendo's growth in the mid-and-long term. We will take enough time to work on it."

Just do it. We're not as dumb as you guys think. I'm from Malaysia and I own all of your current-gen consoles. It's all about whether you guys have the balls to market it to our region. It seems so far, none of you bothered. Just great. What do gamers from developing nations have to do to get cheaper games and consoles without importing from the US, huh?

These consoles may be old news to you, but they're not being sold to you. They're being sold to people who may have never owned a games console before, or may not even have really sat down with a video game before. They're not - for the most part (hardcore importers and long-time fans aside) - people accustomed to hardware generation shifts, or nuances with the RPG genre, or give a crap about who the developers of the latest Modern Warfare game are.

They're new. And Nintendo should be taking advantage of that! Repackage the Nintendo 64, or even the GameCube. Give them new cases, new names, and sell them cheap. Gamers in the West won't complain about the price, because they're old games, and gamers in these developing markets won't complain because they're getting cheap video games. And who cares if we think they're old? If they're new to someone else, they're new.

This was Kotaku's own comment, and it's EXACTLY THIS that has me fuming from the ears. Grrr.....I'll write a full blog tomorrow on this, explaining why.

Pokemon Black/White- Demo Version

Written by pikaby



The ad on the bottom is quite a nuisance, but don't let that stop you from watching the gameplay footage, which shows battles with your two rivals, Belle and Cheren. From here we also know Mijumaru learns Revenge, and a new Water move called Shell Blade (you can tell it's a Water move because Pokabu got hit for super-effective damage). So that shell on his chest isn't just for decoration after all.
