Yeah, I'd say it is pretty rare. A lot of my friends are hardcore smash players, and none of them are female. I know a good handful of female gamers. They may have played Smash before, but they aren't regular players.

You could always gather with some friends and play some Smash.

Puzzle Quest is pretty good.

I read a rumor today that 50 Cent will an unlockable character. confirm/deny?

You guys are all stupid. THEY ARE CLOUDS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

I remember renting Earthbound at Blockbuster a loooooooooong time ago at random. I had no idea what the game was, and I never heard about it. I'm so glad I rented it. To my surprise, they actually still had the giant book that came with it. I loved the game so much, that I got it for my birthday. My brothers made fun of me/the game for what it was. The way it looked, and what it says when you defeat an enemy: "has been tamed". They sure missed out I want to play this again, but I have no snes controllers and no power cable :[

BlueMystic won both ITG2 and DDR. I didn't get every match, but the order pretty much goes from beginning to end of the tourney. It took so long that we had to stop Saturday night and finish Sunday, haha.

Last weekend I went to a tournament in North Carolina. It was a DDR/ITG2/Smash/bunch of other stuff tournament. I recorded only ITG2 though, so here are some videos if you guys are interested. It was a pretty epic weekend.

That shouldn't be an issue here. The Wii is supposed to be connected to the internet "24/7", even though when I used the wifi dongle, it was never literally connected 24/7, it would just connect every so often. Anyway, this console is supposed to use this feature, it shouldn't be an option to have to disable it because it makes your Wii run very hot to the point of damaging it.

Have you touched both sides of your Wii, or just one? One side is a lot hotter than the other.

My Wii is pretty damn hot too, I just never really had the idea to touch it. Seems fine now, I guess we'll see if anything happens.

The Extra Stage song is 9 feet on Expert. I'm guessing if it has challenge steps, it'll be a 10. Or, since they don't have that many songs for this beta test that it's not even really the real extra stage. Also, if you do get a AAA like on previous DDR, it'll show "Full Perfect Combo" along with your AAA grade. So that'll probably be a way people distinguish their AAA's from another.

That was for the console versions right? I can't remember. Anyway, I think SN2 is supposed to have even more songs than SN1, so yeah.. remember this is just beta testing

Btw, Supernova 2 is now being tested(arcade). Remember, this is all in beta testing stages. This information is not from myself, but from people who actually went to the test location. The extra stage is a little different with how it works. For your third stage, there's a red song called VOLCANO. AA that song, then you get Extra Stage which is Unreal. You can actually pick your mods. You have a oni mode style life bar(1-4 ticks) for your life. AAing this gets you One More Extra Stage(also called Encore Extra Stage now), and you play a song called NGO. This has the usual 1 non-combo/dropped freeze and you fail method. Scoring is looking different too. It looks like it's going towards the way of Beatmania IIDX scoring. Marvelous will be in normal play instead of just Non-stop/Oni mode. Depending on your total score out of 1,000,000 will determine your score. Someone at the test location had 3 greats on a song and still AAA'd it. This is just like IIDX where you can get something other than a Flashing Great/Great and still AAA a song. So far it seems your score has to be inbetween 990,000-1,000,000 to get a AAA, and 950,000 for a AA(just like on Supernova) Now for some songs: Licenses Unbelievable / EMF COME CLEAN / NM featuring Susan Z SUNRISE (JASON NEVINS REMIX) / Duran Duran My Favorite Things / SLOTH MUSIC PROJECT feat.

New gameplay video of Contra 4 DS. Virt is doing really great with the music. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21589.html

I think it'd be silly to pull support for GCN. It can still work as a perfectly good controller for any game. Nintendo should follow what they're doing with Brawl and give multiple controller options with their games.

I'm glad Nintendo isn't releasing a lot of details about the game. All of these little mini updates about one specific item or stage is a pretty good thing we have going right now anyway.

Yeah, that chase scene was pretty awesome.

Monday 10 characters

That bundle for the silver one sounds like a pretty good deal. What was it again? Daxter, Family Guy, 1gig stick, and a "PSP Lite" for $199?

Whoever is playing Samus after that scene doesn't know how to recover on the stage too well lol Also, what the heck is that big blue ball that Pikachu shoots out? Some new form of charged Electric attack(similar to Samus')?

I'm the opposite. I was a late GBA adopter, and got the SP and Golden Sun 2. The first one was no where to be found. :[

Why would you sell your DS? There's plenty of games out for it, well for me anyway I don't know what you like.

Golden Sun DS awesome http://www.joystiq.com/2007/07/11/golden-sun-ds-shown-at-small-nintendo-gathering/

It's a price cut. There's no catch.
