The Nintendrone

The Crimson Red DS is now retiring and being replaced by the Cobalt Blue DS, as seen below.
It follows the same design, just Blue

This Ds is scheduled for release on Febuary 10th, which just happens to be one of the Super Smash Brothers games release dates.

This week is not one of the greatest in the VC’s history, but at least we have finally got 2 games in a week. This hasent happened in some time.

Today released on the VC was,

    Operation Wold ——— NES 500 Points
    Columns III - Revenge of Columns ——— Genisis 800 Points

Not alot, however i will be trying to keep some more up to date news on this blog.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl was delayed to March 9th, this past week. The NA version of the game got pushed back almost a whole month, yet Japans got pushed back a only one week. There are no explanations as to why the date was pushed back. Below is some proof, that it was delayed. To prove that i am not just messing with you.

Nintendo has recently published a list of games they expect to be releasing in 2008. Below, each game is listed and it’s release tentative release date. Some could get pushed back, but lets hope they arnt.

Monday: “Co-op Events”
Events are playable with more than one person at a time now. Players will work on the same team and co-op event mode may contain many different events than those found in single player. We still don’t know how many events there are.
What we learned:

• “This time, Event matches can be played in two-player mode!”
• There are fewer events than in single player events.
• Coin battles are back (+bills)
• Co-op targetsmash confirmed.

Grade: A

Tuesday: “Mother: Porky’s Theme”, “Frigate Orpheon”
Mother gets some musical love and Metroid gets a stage. The music is oddly nostalgic. The stage has a hazard. It rotates around the parasite queen in her gigantic test tube thing, and occasionally gravity flips after power outages…really all this update did was make me want a Mario Galaxy stage and Ridley. At least as a boss.
What we learned:

• “Prime” series has been acknowledged.
• This game has a lot of Mother 3 crap. (Which is good.)

Grade: B

Wednesday: “Team Healer”
An item is revealed! Tuesday’s update had us gasping, because not only did we get an unusually lacking update, but it brought forth new strategy. Team Healer is basically this awesome orb that heals whoever gets hit by it. Quite handy in team mode.
What we learned:

• Team Healers only appear in Team Battle.
• The more damage you have, the more you get healed.
• Still Red, Green, and Blue.

Grade: C

Thursday: “Kirby’s Special Moves”
Kirby’s neutral B move is shown off. If it weren’t for the awesome different forms they showed, and the giveaway of Dedede’s neutral B, this update would suck, thankfully, Sakurai has got that covered.
What we learned:

• Multiple Kirby outfits.
• Snake Kirby > You.
• Dedede’s neutral B is inhale.
  

Grade: C

Friday: “Subspace Emissary Movie”
Awesome. Not only does this movie eerily sync (even the Japanese one) with the 300 trailer, but it somehow morphs recycled footage into fresh awesomesauce.
What we learned:

• Bowser has a trophy gun.
• Meta Knight and Ice Climbers team up in Subspace.
• Lucas has a role in Subspace.
• New Polygon Fighters/Wireframes are NOT Primids.

Grade: B

Remember that Prima Guide leak?

Yeah.

Untrue.

Serebii has stated on a forum, which I won’t name due to possibility of floodular based death, that the roster is inaccurate.

Hey, I trust the guy.
