So, I’ve had some points laying around on the Virtual Console system that the Wii has. Today I finally used the rest of my points to pick up a new game. I went with a game that I used to play the hell out of. This game was the Contra III title. The first Contra was definitely a classic, but Contra III was also a really nice game in my eyes. If you haven’t played it, I would suggest giving it a play. It’s well worth the 800 Wii Points that you’re charged for it.

When I got a chance to play Paper Mario for the Nintendo 64, I loved it. Even though I only played an hour or two of the game, I become quite hooked. After moving out of a friends house I no longer had access to the game. Today, Super Paper Mario for the Nintendo Wii came out and it’s even better than the original. I’ve probably played it for about an hour or so but holy crap it’s awesome. If you’ve got a Wii and want to invest in a new game, this is the one. It beats any other game I’ve played for the Wii so far.

A chrome casing for the Wii has been developed and wow, does it look nice. The casing is known as the I-Case. If any of you out there remember the movie “Flight of the Navigator”, this case makes the Wii look like something that would have been on board the ship that David was flying around. You know. The one that Paul Reubens did the voice work for. Anyways, awesome case. I’d like to get one myself.

I’ve been ever so excited about Super Paper Mario coming out for the Wii and now, Go Nintendo has a ton of screen shots from Super Paper Mario on their website. My favorite screenshot’s the one with Koopa in what looks like an updated version of the second area in the first level of Super Mario Brothers. I can’t wait. I’ll have to get my pre-order in early on this game.

Today while I was running around I decided to pay off the pre-order for Wii Play and put in a pre-order requested for Cooking Mama: Cook Off. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a game that it similar to WarioWare in terms of its interaction with items on the screen but it revolves around cooking. For example you can shred things, chop vegetables, cut meat, and a whole list of other things. It might sound lame to some but I’m pretty sure it’s going to rock hard. The only down side to it is that it won’t release until March 27 so there’s a good two months until we can expect it. Oh well, it gives me time to save up the cash for it.

The week’s at its end and I’ve finally had time to play WarioWare: Smooth Moves. Wow. The mini-games that you play rock it hard. During the first time around you play until you beat the boss and then open up more levels to play. But if you go back to the levels you’ve beat then you can go even further and play additional games.
Luckily my rechargeable batteries are doing well and holding out during my game play. I had doubts at first because they die quickly with my digital camera but now I’m beginning to think that it just eats batteries.

If you’ve heard about Jennifer Strange passing away because of the “Hold Your Wee For a Wii” contest, then this is a follow up to that. Ten of the employees that worked at the KDND radio station on the Morning Rave were recently fired in response to what happened following the contest. Those fired were DJs, various personalities from the show, and others that appeared on the show.
I can’t really blame the station for firing them. If some research had been done on what can happen when someone consumes too much water in a short period of time, then this casualty may have been avoided.

Ware Ware: Smooth Moves came out for the Wii on January 15, 2007. Yesterday during my lunch break I picked up my reserved copy at EB Games. I only got to play for a short period of time since the batteries that came with the Wii died but it’s great fun so far. My rechargeable batteries were getting charged last night so let’s hope they’ve got enough juice to last a while.

Today the Virtual Console system for the Nintendo Wii saw the release of three new games. The new games are:
- Xevious, originally on the NES. Costs 500 Wii points.
- R-Type III: The Third Lightning, originally on the SNES. Costs 800 Wii points.
- Moto Roader, originally on the TurboGrafx-16 system. Costs 600 Wii points.
None of these games I’m going crazy over but if I’m ever bored I might grab one or two of them.

If you’ve got a Wii and you’ve downloaded the free Opera browser for it, then check out WiiCade.com. It’s a site with a bunch of Flash-based games that you can easily play from your Wii’s browser. I’ve only played a few of ‘em but I’ve been hooked ever since Ashley told me about it.
