Trailers of Nintendo's current hits for 2009

Trailers have rolled out for both Punch-Out!! for the Wii as well as Treasure's Sin & Punishment 2. Nintendo finally decided to give fans what they want delivering games like these (S&P2 confirmed for stateside release - a big part is successful sales for the first Sin & Punishment on Virtual Console). Both games look great and I hope they will be amazing as more reasons to keep my Wii around (Then again, I'm still playing Mega Man 9 on that thing).

Nintendo reenergizes my interest in Wii and DS again

Nintendo fans should be happy today with their Japanese conference of announcing some bombs. The new DSi is looking like another impulse purchase for me (like the DS Lite), but I think it will be worth it in the long run with camera features, SD card storage, new shop for downloadable games (DSware), and more despite the GBA slot not in it anymore (180 bucks - but confirmed for Japan in November for now - maybe confirmed for here at the U.S. tomorrow with another press event).



Other than the DSi, Nintendo has figured out a storage solution to the Wii's "fringe" of direct downloading to a SD card starting sometime next year. In addition, new games like Punch-Out Wii and Sin & Punishment 2 has rejuvenated interest for me of keeping that system now.



That's it for now - Nintendo is not done yet with another press thing tomorrow likely announcing the same stuff.

New Super SFII Turbo HD Remix footage

A GameSpot tournament consists of both Street Fighter IV and Super SFII Turbo HD Remix that is going on this week. We all know how awesome SF IV is, but SSFIIT HD Remix is pretty much done at this point as this tourney is the first showing of the near final version (maybe final) with everyone playable. Here's some new footage featuring Vega, Guile, Fei Long, and Sagat in action (looks like Guile may get his old SFII voice back, or maybe it is an option to use it).

A brief teaser for the Dragonball movie

Yes it will suck... Nuff said.

Mega Man 9 review status (pending)

The Mega Man 9 trifecta ends tomorrow as the XBLA version will be released then (still pending whether or not I would buy this version since I already have the WiiWare version). Then again, playing Mega Man 9 on my Wii does give me a reason to turn on that thing rather than letting it continue to collect dust as many people are waiting for the Wii's saving grace (possibly announced on Thursday at some Nintendo event) to happen. I guess the better support of leaderboards and achievements for the XBLA version is my reason for giving it a shot, but I generally prefer the controls of the Wii version playing it with the Wiimote sideways (NES style). I can at least get four of the twelve achievements on the XBLA version.

As for the Wii version and whether or not a review will happen, I'm at the Wily gauntlet (the four Wily stages that culminates in a final boss battle against the doctor himself) in which I'll try to beat it this weekend.

An example of crap on the Saturn
