Points of Interest – 11/7/06
- Remember the art from the old TransFormers and GI Joe toy packages of the 80s? Well, some of those pieces, as well as those from other toylines, have been gathered by the artist and published in a book that’s sure to stir up some old memories. 48 pages, just five bucks.
- GameTrailers brings you Zelda: Twilight Princess videos. Some character interaction, item collection, and enemies. Probably spoilerish stuff.
- New Sonic Next-Gen screens, including shots of Elise, Eggman, and Tails.
What does Secret Rings bring? More dinosaurs!
- onNintendo has a neat little chart up that shows which game system-types work with which controllers on the Wii.
- Go Nintendo reports this story which mentions that new subscriptions to Nintendo Power might get not only a The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Player’s Guide, but an official soundtrack as well.
Nice deal, I should renew…
- GN reports that GamePro has a nice preview of Super Mario Galaxy now available.
- GN links to Angry Gamer, where they review the Wii Virtual Console launch line-up.
Urban Champion
Nintendo is one of the most resourceful game development companies in the world. They have literally thousands of NES games in their back catalogue to choose from for inclusion with the Wii Virtual Console. And?they give us Urban Champion. It?s kind of like someone going ?Hey I got a box of candy, want some?? and they give you a sodding Aero bar. Aero bars are stupid and useless and dumb and so is Urban Champion. 1/10
Ok, funny is funny and all, but that’s just going too damn far.
- Ok, I admit it. I laughed.

4. Very nice, this means that people will still get some use out of their old GC controllers and won’t have to pay up for rarely used accessories right away. The CC looks and probably plays nice, but WTF about that it doesn’t offer the same or even more functionality as its predecessor.
5. Uh-huh, and then they release a much better and more complete OST in Japan a few weeks later…
7. I always find it amusing how people feel they are being ripped off for the choice to buy or not to buy stuff they personally don’t like. And it’s not like they’ve put Urban Champion on a GBA cart and charged $30 for it!
8. Best part of it is that the iron has a Nintendo shaped logo.
