Ramble?

Don't freak out. It's just another post.

Hopefully everyone got the joke from the last post (though it was a bad one). Anyone wanna know what's up? Course you don't, but you obviously have nothing better to do because you're already here.

I've read Harry Potter up to the 4th book, and that's probably as far as I'm going to get till summer since we've started reading big books again in school. I've been trying to finish most of the games I've got and these are mostly games that already have many reviews d I have nothing to add. I have finally beaten Okami on the Wii, although there's still stuff I wanna do on that game. The short in the short however is that the game is really awesome (I would say 8.9) and if you're not too threatened by the game's style, it's a must have. The other game that I have technically beaten, but again still have a lot to do is the DS port of Chrono Trigger. If you need me to tell you about this game, then go outside (or stay inside depending on the situation).

So what was the point of this? I felt like it, and in case anyone actually wanted to know what I've been doing (since it's obviously not posting), now you know.

Super Mario Galaxy DS

Well this morning I decided I should post and what did I find? What is probably the next in a line of Mario re-releases. It was announced recently that Nintendo is apparently already making progress with a DS port of what is probably close to the best selling game on the Wii. In case the title doesn't spell it out for you I am talking about Super Mario Galaxy DS.

I don't know who came up with this crazy idea, but it's crazy. Porting SMG to the DS is easily possible and it's not the worst idea, but it's still a bad one. First, why port a game so close to after its initial release? If you wait a 5 or so years then maybe, maybe you could do it, but very few people are going to want this game even with its new stars and planets. Second, there's better things for Nintendo to be doing. If they really want to port a game, port Super Mario 64 to the Wii, and I am most definitely NOT talking about the virtual console. Give SM64 new better graphics, maybe some more stars, some unlockables, include some of the famous "lost bytes", and personally I would love it if you jacked up the difficulty, but then walk away. DO NOT take an already easy game (I'm switching back to SMG) and make it easier. Do not make challenges that are only slightly different from the others and say your giving us "new content." You know I've always hated Nintendo and this just breaks the last straw. I'm throwing away all my systems and getting myself a PS3. After all, Sony has so many better games that Nintendo it's not even funny. And you know what else gets me angry? I lost my wallet yesterday and when I found it today, the only thing in it was a note that said, "April Fools" well you know what?
