Pokémon Diamond (Nintendo DS)

from: Nintendo

July 25, 2007
Pokémon :o)

As a younger child I used to love playing Pokémon on my fatty Game Boy and Game Boy Advance! And at 19 (shh!) I still do!

So almost everyone has played Pokémon before or even seen the cartoon that was shown on TV years ago (yes, I watched that too!). and I'm sure everyone knows what the whole Pokémon fantasy is, and the Storyline.

- The Pokémon History! -
Pokémon was first released in Japan for the Game Boy all the way back in 1996. There have now been 100s of million sales of the Pokémon franchise. Originally in Pokémon, you played a young boy (you could pick his name) who was sent by a Pokémon Professor who was trying to learn about all of the Pokémon in the region you are ... Read More:

Korg DS-10 (Nintendo DS)

from: Nintendo

October 10, 2008
Not for those with poor sight, this is a great source of entertainment for anyone interested in how electronic music can be created by those with no training. I'm a non-musician who has owned a few digital synths in my time, but I'm told the DS-10 models an analog synth. So it's very instructive for me. The best recommendation for this cartridge can be found on YouTube. A great way to while away the time spent commuting to work (unless you're driving or cycling). Although it's more fun to use the DS-10 without reading the manual, you will eventually find there are more virtual knobs on screen than you expected, so a quick read-through of the instruction booklet is recommended.

So next time you see someone on a train busy with headphones ... Read More:

Nintendo Official Component Video Cable (Wii)

from: Nintendo

December 08, 2006
There is no doubt that the component cable improves the picture. It's sharper, the contrast is more pronounced, the text is infinitely more readable...however, there is a down side.

Because the cable is so good, it highlights the weaknesses in the Wii. While static background images are far superior, moving parts of the game (your Mii in Wii Sports Tennis for example) are far more pixelated. It seems to be evident on some games more than others - MarioKart in particular seems more pixelated.

There is a definte trade off between the improved sharpness and resulting pixelation. For most, this will come down to personal preference.

The product itself is well built, a good length and is simple to connect. Just shop about ... Read More:

Wario Land: The Shake Dimension (Wii)

from: Nintendo

September 26, 2008
Had this game about a week and think it is brilliant. Simple 2D graphics which are nothing special but typically of Nintendo it is all about the gameplay. Makes really good use of the wiimote and there is plenty to do with 3 treasures to find on each stage and lots of side missions that are quite challenging. Good soundtrack and really good game for all ages.

Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (Nintendo DS)

April 13, 2007
I know this isn't a platform game like Mario, but this game is boring as dish water. I persisted, oh I persisted, but it is so slow.

Pokémon Emerald (Game Boy Advance)

from: Nintendo

October 21, 2005
When this game came out i didn't think it would be any different to the previous version, Ruby and Sapphire, but i soon found that it was a serious improvement on them and that the new features, like a battle tower, complete what was already a great game and this is why i would recommend it to anyone. Buy it now!

Nintendo DS Lite Handheld Console (White)

from: Nintendo

June 23, 2006
I've had my NDS Lite for about eight months now and have never regretted buying it. I was initially put off with the bulky original DS, but after seeing an NDS Lite thought I would bite the bullet. I also bought an external see through case/skin and a small hard pouch/case to put the nds lite and its peripherals into it. If your going to spend this much money spend a little more to protect your investment. I'm glad I did - Ive dropped this a couple of times onto the floor some time ago (not recommended!), but the hard crystal case/skin (which i bought separately) appears to have saved it.

The NDS Lite itself is incredibly addictive many games use the touch screen stylus and microphone as well as the buttons. I have since played with a PSP and been overawed by the PSP ... Read More:

Mario Strikers Charged Football (Wii)

from: Nintendo

May 25, 2007
Mario Strikers Charged is an AWESOME game! A huge advantage is that you can play online, and it was the first online game you could play on the wii.



WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT :
The very basics of football: you need to score more goals than you conceed, but with our nintendo characters as players and a no-foul policy. Also, there are crazy stadiums (some resembling obstacle courses!) and a ball that charges itself to give more power to shots and passes... (!)
This means each team has an artillery of weapons and moves in its different (or same) characters, who have individual skills and strenghts. The team is composed of:
a goalkeeper, same for every team, incredibly agile and quite unrealistic, making it impossible to score unless the ball is charged ... Read More:

Super Paper Mario (Wii)

from: Nintendo

September 14, 2007
Other reviewers have explained how the game works so I won't go in to that. This is a fun game, but I found that the levels became repetitive after around level 4 and the cut scenes are far too intrusive in the game and slow it down. You find yourself button pressing just to skip these bits.

Some have said it is too easy, but I think if you are only a casual game player like me then you will find it tricky enough.

A decent Mario game then but not the best.
