Punch-Out!! for Nintendo Wii review

Punch-Out!! for Nintendo Wii review

Gaming
During the 1980s, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! was a cultural phenomenon. Not only did it introduce skill-based gameplay and its now-memorable boxing ring theme music, but it also gave players the chance to face-off against colorful fighters of different nationalities. Plus, gamers were psyched when they learned the final boss of the game was then-legendary real life boxer Mike Tyson. In 1987's Punch-Out!!, players were told the story of Little Mac, a petite fighter from the Bronx who wanted nothing more than to enter the World Video Boxing Association. Because of his small stature, Mac was turned down by over one hundred trainers before meeting Doc Louis, a former heavyweight champion. With Doc's training, Mac shaped up to become the greatest fighter in the circuit. Fifteen ye...

Hand held console video games for young children

Gaming
Hand held console toys for young children must be robust enough to withstand knocks, drops and sticky fingers. They should also have age appropriate games which are interesting and challenging but not too difficult. Most family games for Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft game platforms require a considerable amount of reading, making them inaccessible for most children under about 6 years of age without a considerable amount of help. The very fact that they are so small means that hand help toys like the Nintendo DS are designed to be played by only one person. Hand Held Educational Electronic Toys for Young Children There’s a range of small hand held electronic toys available for younger children. The price tag will indicate what is available. Very cheap hand held toys may contain...
Action game review: Kirby’s Epic Yarn Wii

Action game review: Kirby’s Epic Yarn Wii

Gaming
Kirby's Epic Yarn is the first real Kirby game since the N64 title, Kirby64: The Crystal Shards. Developed by Good-feel and Hal Laboratory and released by Nintendo for the Wii in November, 2010, Kirby has made a grandiose reappearance that reminds gamers why they fell in love with the little pink puffball in the first place. To put it simply, the game is very, very easy, but the overall journey is cute, fun to play, and has some truly amazing vista's to behold. Off to Patch Land The first thing to get out of the way is the story. Kirby games aren't known for deep story's and this is no exception, but it is at least cute and does the job of setting up the gameplay. Kirby is drawn into a Patch Land, a world made of yarn and different patches, where he finds himself made of yarn. Th...

Old 90s games: Kirby Super Star

Gaming
Old 90s games - Published by Nintendo and HAL Laboratory for the snes in 1995 and later in 2010 for the Wii's Virtual Console, Kirby Super Star had quite a legacy to live up to. The original old 90s games were whimsical treks through dreamland that exemplified a unique brand of platforming which became much beloved over the years. Kirby Super Star, sadly, falls a bit short of its predecessors. All the pieces for a great Kirby game are there, but it is cut into pieces, like an early mini game collection or party game, to the point that it loses the whimsy players fell in love with. A World Divided Kirby Super Star was a bold step forward for Nintendo. It was a precursor to the numerous mario retro game party and multiplayer N64 games which would follow in years to come, emphasizin...
