Billiga spel – Red Dead Redemption, Star Craft 2, Metroid – Other M med flera.
Det finns några riktiga fynd hos Spelbutiken.com just nu. De firar tioårsjubileum med kraftiga rabatter på tio spel. Erbjudande gäller till den 23 maj (eller så långt lagret räcker). Själv beställde jag Metroid: Other M för endast 158 kr! Andra spel som jag rekommenderar som är billiga är Red Dead Redemption till Playstation 3 och Star Craft 2 till PC. Övriga spel har jag inte spelat men där finns säkert något bra till X-box också.
Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks var inte del av erbjudandet men är ett av få Zelda-spel som hamnat i lågprislådan. Jag passade på att köpa det samtidigt (eftersom det är ett av få Zelda-spel jag inte hade).

Uppföljare till Wii 2012
Nintendo har idag tillkännagivit att de planerar släppa en uppföljare till Wii 2012. En spelbar version av konsolen kommer att presenteras på E3 i Los Angeles den 7 juni!
Wii har varit enormt populär och sålt 86 miljoner exemplar hittills (2006-2011).
Satoru Iwata från Nintendo har sagt att deras nya konsol kommer att vara annorlunda ifrån vad vi idag ser som en konsol. Exakt vad detta innebär får vi se på E3!
Super Mario 25 år!
Den 13 september 1985 släpptes det första Super Mario Bros-spelet i Japan. För att fira detta släpps nu en jubileumsutgåva till Wii. Tyvärr finns det inga nyheter om en internationell utgåva än, förhoppningsvis kommer det! Ska man följa de ursprungliga utgivningsdatumen så får vi i Europa vänta till vårt 25-årsjubileum som inträffar den 15 maj 2012, 25 år efter att Super Mario Bors släpptes i Europa.
Guitar Hero Metallica arrived!
Last friday Guitar Hero Metallica (GH:M) was finally released! I even managed to get it fairly cheap thanks to some trade in of useless old PS3-games that I bought cheap on the second hand market anyway. I had previously only played Guitar Hero on Wii so this was the first time I got one for the PS3 including a guitar. I don’t know if the guitar that came with GH:M was better than the usual PS3 or not but it was definetly an improvement over the Wii guitars. It felt alot more solid and especially strumming felt alot better.
I’ve only played the game a few hours in total since I had other things to do this weekend as well. From the little I’ve played the game feels alot like an improvement from the previous games. It is technically more difficult but manages to be so in a fun way.
My only problem is that now I have to try and get the old Guitar Hero games for the PS3 so I can retire my old Wii guitars! Either that or I just pick up the coming greatest hits version coming soon.

Future of Gaming Consoles (take 2)
There have been many people claiming they are sure that gaming consoles as we know them are on their final generation. The reasons this has been claimed are many, from technical superiority of computers to simple sales statistics of the Playstation 3 and X-box 360. All this have been discussed earlier on this blog back in august last year. I now want to lift another very high argument that I believe the future of console games are safe: simplicity.
If you buy a game for your computer you need to make sure it runs on your current hardware. Still if you meet the requirements you are sometimes disappointed by the actual performance you get which leads you to endless trails of software and driver upgrades, operating system optimization, hard drive defragmentation and other maintenance chores. In the end you might end up having to upgrade some hardware to be satisfied. Even worse, since the computer is most likely used for other things there is sure to be some malfunction sooner or later due to viruses or other causes.
A gaming console on the other hand is a dedicated piece of software and hardware which is streamlined to play the games you buy. Reversely the games are streamlined to run on exactly that machine. This is optimal both for buyers and developers. The games require less testing before released since only one (or a few) possible machines will be known to run the game. When you receive a game it will be tested for exactly your conditions and will require no effort on your part to experience it the way the developer intended it.
More than this most game machines are so simple to operate, you insert a game and you play. As of late some machines have endeavored to become complete entertainment machines and started looking more like HTPCs than gaming consoles and in doing so have become more complicated. Maybe this is yet another reason for the success of the currently simplest machine on the market, the Wii, which still have on-line connectivity but in a much more modest form than it’s cousins PS3 and X-box 360.
In conclusion, when I want to play a game I want to relax. Give me something simple!
Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers
Killing zombies in a Bikini feels quite different if you are using a Wii remote or not…

Tokyo Game Show: Nintendo News
Nintendo had lots of news for us at the Tokyo Game Show recently. First of all, as promised, an old franchise came back: Punch Out!
Other games announced where Pikmin, Another Code, Sin & Punishment 2 and Dynasty Warriors.
In other news from Nintendo they have finnally addressed the memory problem of the Wii and have announced that as of January 2009 (worldwide?) the Wii will get the capability to save downloaded content to SD memory cards! I hope when they say “save” they also mean use it from the SD cards directly without having to do some “shuffling” of the data every time you want to play a game from a SD card.
The last piece of “big” (but anticipated) news was the new DSi which will feature two cameras and be 12% thinner than the old DS lite but at the same time having a 17% larger display! To bad I recently bought a DS lite eh? As with the Wii the DSi will get an on-line shop where additionall content can be bought.
I will be standing in line for Punch Out!

World of Warcraft fitness
Think if you ran all the length your character in World of Warcraft ran, wouldn’t you be pretty fit by now?
On another note of fitness, someone in Japan came up with an idea of making Wii Fit more appealing… The solution? Have a maid run next to you! “Only in Japan” kind of comes to mind.
Wii-reless router?
Seems many have trouble getting their Wii our on the Internet through wireless LAN. Nintendo has announced a special router that should be tailored to make it wireless. This image was taken from famitsu.com where an announcement is made in japanesse (or so I believe!).
