Mario Kart 64 (Wii)
Only a relatively quick go today, playing through the second cup on 50cc. Naturally, I won, coming first in every race. Hurrah!

Mario Kart 64 (Wii)
One of today’s Virtual Console downloads was this. Well, it would be rude not to download it, yes? So I did. Firstly, the graphics look a lot better than I remember. This could be because I’ve more recently played some of the N64 game’s tracks on the DS version, and the DS isn’t quite up to N64 standards. However, I was surprised at how sparse the tracks were. Of course, once I get to Wario Stadium I’m sure things will …
Mario Kart 7 (3DS): COMPLETED!
I got this for Christmas, and it’s the main thing I’ve been playing then and all this week. I’ve come to the conclusion that it is the best Mario Kart game yet. It doesn’t have the silly gimmicks of the GC and Wii games. It’s graphically better than all previous titles. It doesn’t have the big empty tracks of the N64 version. And it has a return of the coins from the GBA and SNES games. It also seems that …
Mario Kart (Wii): COMPLETED!
It’s the first game I’ve played of the year, and Its also the first game I’ve completed this year. Admittedly, I’ve only completed it on 50CC so far (although will be returning to do the rest), but I did come first in every race. I think this is the best console Mario Kart since the SNES version too. It’s not that I didn’t like the N64 and GC versions, it’s just the N64 tracks seemed big and empty, and the …
Super Mario World (Wii)
New Virtual Console Game Day! Yaay! Mind you, I haven’t really played Mario Kart 64 much after buying that last week, but that’s mainly because The Castlevania has stolen my brains. So I downloaded Super Mario World, and tried very hard to get used to the “proper” way of holding the pad (I have this freaky way of doing it with the SNES pad and the classic controller for the Wii isn’t quite right). I think I may have it …
2007: A Year in Gaming – Part 1
So, the end of the year is nigh, and I thought I’d round up this year’s games. That is, the games I’ve played this year, rather than just those that have come out this year, although in most cases it’s the same thing. January The year started as 2006 ended – with Castlevania. Specifically, Circle of the Moon and Harmony of Dissonance on the GBA, supplemented by Super Castlevania IV for the Wii’s Virtual Console. There was also a lot …
Yoshi’s Story (Wii)
Amazing! This is actually only my third N64 purchase on the Wii Virtual Console. I have Mario 64, Mario Kart 64 and now this, which says something about the sort of N64 games I’m prepared to pay for again (I have them all already on the N64). Didn’t play it for all that long, but did complete the first level three times. And could have done it twenty times more. It’s a great game!
Things I’ve been playing recently
Roundup! Mega Man 7 (Wii U) It’s been a few months since I started Mega Man 7. I think, after ploughing through Mega Mans 1-6 I may have had a bit of Mega Man burnout, and I was a bit disappointed with 7 anyway as it didn’t feel right. Anyway, I’m back on it now and have taken down the first lot of four Robot Masters. I’m enjoying it, and it does feel more like the NES games than it …
