=============================
Hi from Dubai!

accf

Hey guys, I have finally found myself with some free time, so I though I would check GameSpot for all the exciting E3 news. Turns out it isn't as exciting as I hoped

Wii Speak is a great since Wii owners finally get voice chat, but picking up sound from the entire room worries me as any background sound could cause disruption and anyone could walk into the room and start shouting. Still, it's a nice feature to have.

WiiMotion Plus is also great as it finally gives us 1:1 control, but Nintendo really should have tried to add this to the WiiMote instead of releasing an add on to give us full control.

I will post up views when I get back to rainy Northern Ireland, I'm in no rush to go back though Getting acquainted to the warm weather took me awhile and I don't know how I will cope with my hometowns cold temperature

Speak to you soon

See You Soon...

dubai

As some of you may know, I'm heading of to Dubai on a Rugby Tour with my school. I can not wait and it is sure to be a wonderful experience. I will be gone form July 11th - July 23rd, just under 2 weeks. I have noticed that this is over the E3 period, but my hotel has wireless internet so I will be able to check in during the time of E3 for news.That will probably be the only time I will be visiting GameSpot.

That's pretty much it. I'll be online for the rest if today, so wish me a safe trip for tomorrow and I will see you all when I get back

Radical Ninja

KidNiki

Kid Niki: Radical Ninja, know in Japan as: Kaiketsu Yanchamaru (怪傑ヤンチャ丸, Kaiketsu Yanchamar "The Wonderful Yanchamaru"), an arcade game released in 1986 by Irem. In 1987, Data East released ports of the game for the NES, Commodore 64, and Apple II. Curiously, all home versions of the game show screen shots from the graphically superior arcade version on the back of their boxes. It was one of the more successful games released by Data East.

Okami's Lost Wind of the Subspace Emissary

Warning: The following blog contains Wolves, Ninja's, Gale Force Winds and Sonic the freakin Hedgehog. Reader discretion is advised to those under the age of 96.

Lost Winds is such a calm yet fun platformer mixed with plenty of puzzle elements and is a welcome addition to my Wii Shop Channel Downloads. I may have only played Lost Winds for around 25 minutes or so, but the innovative gameplay and lovely art $tyle won't keep me at bay from the game for long. Unfortunately, this game is said to last only 3 hours at the max, so I will make sure to take my time with Lost Winds. Anyone looking for a Wii Shop Channel Download for 1000 Points? Here you go.

okamibox My latest purchase, Okami for the Wii. I have been looking forward to playing Okami for quite some time and after saving enough money, I was finally able to buy the game. I don't actually have Okami right now as I ordered it from an online retailer, but it should be here by Monday. The art $tyle is sure to give my eyes a treat and the Zelda-like gameplay will probably entice me for hours First Impressions will be up when I finally receive the game.

DS-wise, I have been playing a ton of Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword. As of right now I have just started chapter 7. Dragon Sword is far easier than the console Ninja Gaiden's but keeps the traditional gameplay at it's best. I would have it finished by now, but every time I go to play my DS I find it in the hands of my father who is playing Tetris DS... >_> Highly recommended.

sse

And finally, I managed to finish the SSE at 97% today. I will probably go back and find the missed trophies and stickers. Along with completing the subspace, I also unlocked every character; including Sonic the Hedgehog...

Sonic

Yup...

I also don't know why so many people complained about... (SSBB Related)


***SPOILER***


That's it for my blog today, and I don't know why I made everything centred... Oh well.

Chrono Trigger Is Back.

Quite possibly the best news I have heard all year?

Official Site

CTDS

For those that are a little slow, Chrono Trigger, the SNES hit RPG is coming to the Nintendo DS this Winter in Japan. Apparently CTDS will be more of a port than a full remake like Final Fantasy III + IV. Still, this is great news and I will definitely be picking this up on Day 1!

The site is said to launch fully on 7/7.

With Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy IV, Tales of Hearts, Fire Emblem, Sonic RPG and the Dragon Quest games all coming out for the DS, and Tales of Symphonia 2 and the new rumored Tales game for Wii, this is looking to be a great year of RPG's for Nintendo.

Also, could Nintendo Powers latest issue have been related to Chrono Trigger? Perhaps that was the sword represented? Maybe the, "Lot of heart" us Tales of Hearts? Who knows.

Anyone else excited as much as I am?

Oh, and if anyone cares, Elebits 2 was announced for the DS as well

Sure I haven't had the game for very long, but since "With Anyone" doesn't work for me, filling up my friend roster is the next best thing If any of you guys add me, make sure to PM me or leave a comment below with your code so as I can add you back.
