It seems like everyday there are more awesome levels of LittleBigPlanet coming out. We usually don’t post about them, but we are nonetheless impressed with the level of customizability that some people are reaching with the game. But by far my favorite is the following level. Upsilandre has created a calculator in LitteBigPlanet using a similar architecture to switches on a processor. He claims to have over 1,500 parts to make the calculator; it is definitely an impressing feat to any nerd out there. Here is a video:
One of the biggest flaws that has haunted the Playstation 3 since launch is the lack of rumble in the Sixaxis controller. Even PS3 fanboys have been complaining make such comments as, “I didn’t know how much I’d miss it”. But, Sony has been intent on fixing this problem and bringing this last-gen feature to its current-gen console. Everyone prayers(in the US) shall be answered tomorrow with the release of the Dualshock 3. And everyone who has used one is giving it rave reviews. Many people have been saying it gives games like Uncharted, a whole new feel and a new way to play. The price is admittedly a little steep at $54.99, but I’d say its wellworth it.
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is one of my most anticipated games and you can imagine how giddy I am with it’s release only two weeks away. But, where is Nintendo’s pre-release advertising and hype? IGN recently wrote an article about the lack of prerelease hype for Metroid and that brought it to my attention. Nintendo is completely ignoring this huge game to promote games that are coming out way later on this year and some of these games don’t even have any huge followings. For example, the huge segment at Nintendo’s E3 Conference on Wii Fit. A game that is used to help the senior citizen in Wyoming play video games. However, at the same confernece Nintendo had a stage demo of Metroid and not even a playable one on the floor! I think the reason for this is that Metroid Prime 2, did not have many innovations compared to the first Prime and lacked the sales, too. If that is the reason Nintendo should rethink their marketing stragedy for the game because it lends a very unique expirence by literally letting you control Samus’s gun. I’m going to buy the game whether Nintendo markets it or not, but I feel bad for the people that don’t get a chance to learn about the game because of the lack of advertising.
PS – If you quickly want to the how bad this is head over to http://www.metroid.com and notice the absence of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption from the site.
Update: Nintendo seems to have changed their advertising policy on Metroid for the better. They have now updated the site and added a Wii Channel. Along with officially declaring this Metroid month. I guess I spoke to soon. Sorry guys
If you have WiiConnect24 on your Wii’s should be lighting up if you haven’t updated. This Wii System is the third in the Wii’s life and does not feature any new channels, but does feature updates to the weather, news, and shop channels. The weather and news channels only get minor upgrades, but the shop channel gets a whole new streamlined interface with searching capability. If you also had any complaints about the Wii’s load times, this update fixed some of the issues with better channel load times and disc reading times. Pictures and full details after the jump.
