Mega Man 10

Mega Man returns in an all-new 8-bit adventure!

Thanks to the support of all the fans, Capcom has released Mega Man 10! (It’s a downloadable title for WiiWare for 1000 Wii Points.) Now fans of all ages can enjoy the newest entry into this historic 8-bit franchise. The game has three playable characters: Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass (via downloadable content). The Robot Masters in the game are Sheep Man, Commando Man, Blade Man, Strike Man, Solar Man, Chill Man, Nitro Man, and Pump Man. Plus there’s an easy mode is also included in the game, just in case you’re not up for the challenge.

I’m a big fan of Mega Man and it’s awesome that Mega Man 9 and this game’s graphics and music resemble the look and sound we had from the Nintendo Entertainment System of yesteryear. Do we have any other Mega Man fans out there?

Retro Sabotage - Super Mario Bros. | Jumping

Retro Sabotage – Retrogaming: classic games we know and love with a twist. Their latest hilariously sabotaged game is called Jumping and it’s quite silly.

Pac-Man Watch

Tell time with Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde with this limited edition Pac-Man watch!

Do we have any Pac-Man fans out there? For a limited time over at ClubNamco, you can get this cool looking Pac-Man Pellet Time watch.

Pac-Man and the ghost gang are featured on the watch face, with Inky, Pinky and Clyde trapped inside a ghost nest, and Power Pellet hour markers around the dial. Pac-Man moves with an invisible ’second’ hand around the dial to chomp up pellets, as well as bonus cherries and Scaredy ghost which accent the ‘3′ and ‘9′ hour markers.

In grade school, a friend of mine had the old LCD Nelsonic Pac-Man watch, which entertained us during class. What I really could use is the full-sized Pac-Man cabinet arcade game.

Spirit Tracks

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for Nintendo DS and DSi

The wait for The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for Nintendo DS and DSi, is only a short month away. It’ll ship in the U.S. on December 7th, Then I’ll be procuring it and enjoying it. I suggest you do the same as it looks like a real winner!

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks sets hero Link on a daring new adventure. The game provides players with a new story, more puzzles and even a new mode of transportation. In this game, Link voyages by train, which offers up new possibilities for problem-solving. The game has the same look and feel established in the hit Nintendo DS game The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.

Wind Waker he was on a boat. Spirit Tracks he’s using a train. My guess for the next game is that he’ll be using a flying device like a plane or a spaceship. I can see it now – The Legend of Zelda: When UFOs Attack!

Perplexus

Perplexus Maze Game - A 3-D labyrinth game.

As a kid I used to carry around a pocket marble maze game. So when I saw the Perplexus, I was entranced. It’s a maze game where players must maneuver a small marble around challenging barriers inside a transparent sphere. With 3 levels to solve, Perplexus will have you busy turning, rotating, angling, balancing…anything to get that metal ball down the correct track. This is a fun toy that will truly keep you and the kids busy for hours.

Perplexus is a can’t-put-it-down challenge and you don’t need batteries! Buy the product at Amazon today.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a side-scrolling platform video game by Nintendo.

Nintendo’s upcoming New Super Mario Bros. Wii, scheduled for release mid November, looks spectacular! I’ve been looking at all the videos that I can find, while I wait for the game to come out. The side-scrolling, the up to four-player co-op option, the characters – it’s going to be good. Anyone else excited about this game?

(I’m also looking forward to playing this with the family over the holidays.)

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days - one of the best RPGs available on the Nintendo DS.

Now you might be surprised that I’ve never played a Kingdom Hearts game before. Nope, I haven’t. Sure I’ve seen folks dressed up as the popular Square Enix and Disney characters from the game, but I’ve not played any of the series. I’m a big fan of Square Enix, but whenever I see Disney on a game I usually ignore it. Boy, am I glad I got over that phobia and got this game. It rocks! This game is probably the best DS RPG and has the best graphics I’ve seen for a Nintendo DS game. This is a very fun and entertaining game and I’ve only gotten through about 10% of it.

Finally experience the “Kingdom Hearts” storyline missing chapter. Buy the product at Amazon today.
