Maps of Mega Man 9 Levels October 1, 2008

Filed under: Tips, Tricks, and Secrets, WiiWare — hey_suburbia @ 8:38 pm

Remember the maps that Nintendo Power used to publish for NES games? Well, a talented artist by the name of Andrew Dobson did the same thing for Mega Man 9. (You can see some of the raw images here) Wii Media contacted Andrew and made a custom viewer for the maps that allow you zoom, scroll, and reveal tips:

Galaxy Man View Map
Jewel Man View Map
Plug Man Coming soon…
Tornado Man View Map
Magma Man View Map
Hornet Man View Map
Splash Woman View Map
Concrete Man View Map

Anyone who is running afoul of MM9’s infamous difficulty level may find these maps to be invaluable.

Thanks Jerason

Pokemon Platinum coverage! September 11, 2008

I now am in possession of Pokemon Platinum. I will keep a blog with all the latest details, and you can view that when you hit the jump. I’ll try and post plenty of screenshots as well. If you have any questions or want to see anything, let me know. I don’t know Japanese, but I will try my best to get through the game. It shouldn’t be too hard to figure things out. Warning: There may be spoilers ahead!

Video Game Review Tips August 6, 2008

Filed under: Friends, Online, Reviews, Tips, Tricks, and Secrets, Videos — hattrick @ 9:43 am

Do you already do video game reviews?  Is it something you’d like to get into?  Do you enjoy laughing at people who do horrible reviews?  If you answered yes to ANY or ALL of these questions, you’ll defintely want to check out GamesRadar’s “How Not to Make a Video Game Review.”

Their Tips:
1) Be enthusiastic (but remember to do some reviewing).
2) Keep it to a realistically viewable length.
3) Think about what you’re going to say.
4) Complete equipment setup before recording.
5) Do some research.

I know this is not strictly Nintendo related, but I think it fits.  Why?  Because we would love to see more video game reviews, and we would love to see them done well.  So, review these tips and start sending in your reviews.  Post them on YouTube, use Wiigg, share them in our Forums, etc.  Who knows…you might even make front page news here at WiiNintendo.
