Points of Interest – 5/25/07
- To pick up where we left off yesterday (and because I nearly forgot it), The Best of Stewie part 2.
- GameTrailers has a new ScrewAttack.com exclusive, a Video Game Vault look at Mega Man 2.
- They also have some fun from the Nintendo Media Summit, with Mario Strikers Charged (featuring a trailer and online developer walkthrough), Mario Party 8, and more.
- Because playing them is about as much trouble as it is fun, Go Nintendo has found some GameVideos speedruns of the NES Ninja Gaiden trilogy.
The downside? No cutscenes. But at least you might have a better idea of how to get them by watching. That is, provided you can mimic the moves.
Plus, part 3 of 4 from the series of interviews with Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune.
And here are a few more for a trio of Nintendo classics in Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Metroid.
- In Japan, Donkey Kong Country is known as Super Donkey Kong, and it is in Super Donkey Kong that we find this odd glitch featuring Rambi the Rhino.
Um, might want to put the kids to bed before watching this one… yeah…
- Go Nintendo has found the first Nintendo “Short Cuts” entry, featuring a look at the history of Zelda.
- And speaking of Zelda, new Phantom Hourglass info appears!
- A triumph, or a tragedy?
- Some cool new art and character models from Mario Strikers Charged.
- Slashdot asks, “what is the best console controller of all time?”
My vote goes to the Super NES. It would be the Dual Shock, but I never quite liked the split control pad as much, even though it didn’t affect me as much as others. But extra points for the two analogs and the two extra shoulder buttons.
Also, the GameCube’s was great… for the games made specifically for the GameCube.
And that’s all for now. Some of you might have noticed a lack of Kotaku the past couple of days, and that’s simply because combing back through all their stories takes forever. And so I’m saving it all for tomorrow’s update, when I don’t have work the next day.
