Awesome Halo 3 Grenade Toss

This is a perfect throw. I suck at Halo 3. But this guy is either the best or just lucky.

Smash Bros Update: Excitebike

Assist Trophies are trophies that come to the aid of the player that called them out.

But these may not always be solid objects...

Th-they’re pixel art!

And there are tons of pixels racing around!

I think that in Smash, though, appearances are rarely what they seem.

Just because they’re flat doesn’t mean you can
take them lightly.

By the way, there’s also an Assist Trophy for this guy.

Lakitu and Spinies! He just tosses ‘em down,
one after the other.

Smash Bros Update: Snake Joins Brawl

David Hayter voicing Snake in Smash Bros

Article from Kotaku, I am excited about Snake in Smash Bros Brawl and that they are putting so much work into making the experience as good as possible.

Kotakuite and avid YouTube comment reader Hunter, found this little juicy tidbit within the comments on Solid Snake voice actor David Hayter's YouTube page. A few months back, Hayter put together a rather funny video to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Metal Gear Solid and posted it on YouTube.

Fatal Fame on the WII

This article from Kotaku, looks like another Grasshopper Game on the WII (they do make pretty good games).

What with TGS and a week in Tokyo, this one seemed to slip by me, but hearing it now is very exciting. According to 1Up, Tecmo has hired Grasshopper Manufacture to work on the next Fatal Frame game which will apparently be made for the Wii. Once Grasshopper is done with No More Heroes, they will start full steam on the as yet untitled Fatal Frame.

Here are the impressions of the Wii game No More Heroes. I am personally looking forward to this game!

Smash Bros Update

What is Tourney mode?!

This is a mode that determines which player stands victorious on the summit after winning many battles against many foes!

I won’t go into much detail, so just try it out for yourself. Take advantage of its robust tourney-generating functions!

Of course, if you don’t have a large number of friends, you may not have much need for a tourney.

Still, we’re working seriously to make this mode fun for even those people.

Actually, you can also play this by yourself against computer opponents, so try it out if you’re so inclined.

Smash Bros Update

It’s the Pokémon Trainer’s Final Smash: Triple Finish! It combines the powers of Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard!

Any one of them can get the Smash Ball.

Go! Triple Finish!

It’s super effective!

...So, what is with that text window below?

Squirtle = Hydro Pump
Ivysaur = SolarBeam
Charizard = Fire Blast

These are the moves they use. Isn’t it a beautiful combination? A Fire-type attack, a Water-type attack, and a Grass-type attack? (Not really.)

If an opposing Pokémon gets the Smash Ball, at the very least take care to not be standing immediately beside it.

When you’re particularly close, it hurts. FLEE!
