de Blob Review

When looking at the library of games out there for the Wii quality third-party games are a fairly small minority. Party games and shovelware tend to find their way straight onto the Wii. Thankfully de Blob is neither of those. Instead de Blob presents itself as platformer. Moving around levels as a blob of paint players are changing a world of black and white to one of vibrant color.

Nintendo’s Success – Can it last?

Over the past year Nintendo has had what will be one of its largest successes. The Nintendo Wii was a resounding success shipping over twenty three million units. The Wii is still a rare find in retail stores and its handheld counterpart the DS is selling at an incredible rate. Stock prices were up and optimism has been high at Nintendo.

However can Nintendo continue its success in the future? Looking back towards the Gamecube’s popularity overall compared to the Xbox and the PS2 you have to wonder. The largest problem Nintendo has faced is attaining third-party support from companies who can produce quality games.

Super Smash Brothers Brawl – Review

Super Smash Brothers Brawl is the follow up to one of the most successful games ever to grace the GameCube. Super Smash Brothers Melee attained a cult like following which has continued all the way up to the release of SSBB. Building on the past success, Nintendo does not necessarily rewrite the Smash Brother formula but refines it.

With 35 characters gracing the title (a noticeable increase from the previous iterations) both Nintendo and 3^rd Party contenders join this hectic, fast-paced fighting game. I would however use the term “Fighting” lightly. Although it contains many of the same core elements found in other such titles within the genre it also contains many differences.
