Mario
First Person Goomba (Video)
Since the early days of Super Mario Bros we have been squashing Goombas with out any consideration as to what their story is. In this awesome video from pipocaVFX, we see life from a Goomba’s perspective and Mario doesn’t quite seem like the “superhero” we are used to.
Shigeru Miyamoto Says To Give Wii U Some Time
The Wii U has been around since November of 2012 and it’s not exactly flying off the shelves. I picked up a Wii U my self about a month ago despite my reservations about the new console. After the extremely long initial system update, I got into the Wii U experience rather quickly.
I started out by playing New Super Mario Bros. U and almost immediately, I realized how cool the gamepad was and how seamless the whole experience felt. In many ways I felt like the Wii U is what the Wii should have been from the beginning.
The experience I had is difficult to explain, it’s something you just have to mess with in person to understand how unique and innovative this console is. The Wii U has a lot of potential and this is basically what Shigeru Miyamoto, the man behind Mario and Zelda, was trying to say during a recent interview with CNN.
“There was a period when we first released the Nintendo DS that people would say there’s no way people can look at two screens at once, I almost feel like, as people get more familiar with Wii U and these touchscreen interfaces, that there is going to come a point where they feel like ‘I can’t do everything I want to do if I don’t have a second screen’.” -Miyamoto
I think another major issue behind the Wii U’s lack luster sales numbers is the lack of content for the console. The games drive the console more than anything and Nintendo has promised that there will be plenty of games to choose from as time goes on. A title like the Legend of Zelda is enough to sell the console by it self and that may just be what many people are waiting for.
Feeling Nostalgic for DOS games?
Have you ever wanted to play some of your favorite DOS games only to find that your fancy schmancy OS can’t run them?
So, why won’t these titles work ?
Well, quite simply todays computers just lack the enviroment that older software titles need in order to operate correctly.
There are many reasons why these classic titles won’t run but one of the biggest reasons is that todays machines are built around a 64-bit architecture and these old games are not compatible with this type of processing.
No need to worry though! There is a way to to play most of your favorite DOS games.
You will need to download an application called DOSBox. DOSBox is an emulator that simulates the enviroment that these games run in. What makes this even better is that this application is free to download and is has been ported to many different platforms.
