A Gift From Nintendo

Nintendo knows how hard it is waiting those last few hours for the Wii, so they are sending a gift to anyone who logs onto Animal Crossing: Wild World over the next week. If you are not familiar with it, Animal Crossing is a pretty fun, highly addictive community based collection type game. You spend your time in the town you create chatting with NPCs, fishing, collecting fossils, buying furniture, designing T-shirts, and getting into random things. It doesn’t sound very fun, but it really hooks you in, especially if you have another friend playing so you can trade and hang out over WiFi. Anyway, back to the point. Today I received my very own Master Sword to put in my home. Here’s a pic of it:

Remember to get yours before Friday. Speaking of Animal Crossing, I was buying some games from Toys R Us, and the guy ringing me up accidentally threw in a copy of it for the Gamecube, so if you are in the market for a copy, check out my eBay listing.


1 Day To Go: Super Mario Galaxy


Here’s a pretty cool gameplay video of Mario’s next adventure: Super Mario Galaxy. It’s looks pretty fun, but seems a little disorienting to me. Even though the Wii is not launching with a Mario title, we should see Mario Galaxy sometime next spring.
