Grand Theft Mario video

This video was shown on Robot Chicken that airs on Adult Swim, which is on the Cartoon Network. It’s a pretty funny parody on the Mario Bros. in GTA. Give it a watch.

Red Steel TV ad

The first commercial for a Nintendo Wii game has finally been released (at least the first that I have seen). It’s a good ad in terms of showing how the Wii remote is used, but I think it’s a bad ad because of the instructor. Like him or hate him I suppose I chose to hate him he’s annoying.

Eight virtual console titles announced for Wii

 

Eight new virtual console games were rated by the ESRB and are now official for the Nintendo Wii. Although it isn’t confirmed when these titles will actually be available one could guess that they may in fact be ready for the Nintendo Wii launch. The new titles are as follows.

• Duck Hunt
• Hogan’s Alley
• Kid Icarus
• Kirby’s Adventure
• Pilotwings
• Pro Wrestling
• Punch-Out
• Wild Gunman

These plus 30 more are confirmed to be coming to the U.S. As to what order your guess is as good as mine. Nov. 19 were almost there.

Call of Duty 3 ships to retail

 

Almost lost in all the Gears of War hype I should also note that a great follow up to the award winning Call of Duty 2 is shipping today as well for Xbox 360. Call of Duty 3 has a more explosive and adrenaline rushed single player campaign as well as an expanded multiplayer mode. CoD3 will retail for $59.99 and should be available on Wednesday the 8th for purchase.

Call of Duty 3 will also be available Nov. 17 for the PS3 and Nov. 19 for the Nintendo Wii.

Gears of War ships to retail

 

The most anticipated Xbox 360 title of 2006 is finally on it’s way to retailers. GoW should be available for purchase on Wednesday the 8th (the 7th is the shipping date). If you have the game reserved than you will receive it on the 8th, if not then you can try for a walk-in purchase from the 9th to the 12th. Gears of War marks the debut of the Unreal Engine 3 and is arguably the best looking game available. Ladies and Gents emergence day has finally arrived.
