Wii Sports Tournament

It's me, Wii Sports!

Girl in action!

Last two days was like any other days in my life, play, eat, sleep while waiting for my school at KL to open on September. And at night time, there was a friend of mine told me that IT fusion is going to organize a Wii Sport Tournament at Green Height Mall.

The Family Gang!

The terms and condition is to spend at least RM20 at the mall and then eligible to sign up for the competition. Thanks to both of my friends, Mika and Swing to buy some food together so I don't have to spend that much. Upon signing up, I was curious and asked whether there's adults joining or not. And it's a yes, I was kind of happy to see adult getting into Wii stuff too!

The Korean Kiddo!

The tournament is seperated into 2 days. 1st day is to see who are qualify to go to the next round and thus, 2nd day would be the finalist. 1st day was an easy going for me but still I do get nervous a bit because of all the competitors, the korean kid, named Lee Jong Dong is pretty good at it. And coincidently, I met another competitor named Steven too! On the 1st day, we played Bowling, Tennis and Boxing.

Stylish eh? He's in the top 3.

So the 2nd days only end up 5 finalist, 3 adults (consider me as young adults) and 2 kids. The organizer decided to continue on with just bowling only. It's an advantage for me but I still can't keep my guard down. I see portential in those two kids. But I guess Lee was nervous and got mess up. In the end, he didn't make it to the final but Steven, who was in the top 3 kindly let him enter the top 3 finalist and he forfeitted. The final 2 games are simple, playing bowling and see who get the highest score. Lee got 3rd, the stylish kid got 2nd and well... I got 1st.

I am happy, am I?

One of my friend did not managed to take a clear shots of those 2 kids receiving the prices. And the prize are actually the main reason which I got into this contest, a iPod Nano. I wasn't so sure what size storage of iPod Nano they are going to give. Surprisingly, it's the 4gb version! I was actually just hoping for a 2gb would be happy enough already. Over? Not quite. The boss asked me whether I wanna accept a challenge that he offer me and if I win, a iPod Nano protector. Why not? Accepted.

The challenger.

I would say that even Wii Sport's bowling are very real but not as real as what we played on the real one. Apparently, the challenger have a bowling experience, he knows how to make spin shot, all those sort of thing a bowler would know. But too bad it didn't go as well as it looks like. At the end, I won the challenge and received an additional of protector for iPod Nano. Thanks, IT fusion!

Thank you very much.

Well, after that we tried a little Guitar Hero 3 on the Wii and went off to get some bites. Mika, Swing and me sat down at a store below IT fusion and basically we were gaming down there for an hour and left afterwards. During the gaming time, I found something unique and shot it down with my camera.

Rich shopper I say.

If my friends saw this, he's finish!

Prizes I won.

I wonder when will I actually opened it and use. For my iPod suffle 2nd gen, which my sister gave me as my christmas present, took me after 3 months to open it up and actually use it heavily. I just notice too, all my iPods are free. Hehe. That's all for now. I would like to personally thanks Swing for telling me this competiton, Mika for taking all the photos, IT fusion, an apple authorised reseller and Green Height Mall for making this happenned. Thanks for viewing and see you!

Lowyat Mario Kart Wii Online Session

F***ing Blue Shell!

Sihumchai! Our Host.

It's the 2nd day I own this game and I was playing Grand Prix this afternoon and Sihumchai called me for a race online. So I went in with together with Sheen. I guess we just played a round and Sihumchai got disconnected. Nonetheless, we still continue for a racing match.

150cc VS. Race!

So, I decided to go for another round during the night time. Since, most people will be free during night time. So the result? Six people turned out! Which is quite a great number for our 1st Lowyat Mario Kart Wii online session. We played 3 matches total. 2 VS. Race (100cc and 150cc) and 1 Balloon Battle.

I got beaten up real badly on the 1st match.

Balloon Battle! Go!

Honestly, I suck at battle ever since the Mario Kart introduced Battle on the Nintendo 64. I was never good at it and was expecting to lose. Who knows? Our team win! Thanks to our great player, Sihumchai! Yeah!

Round 1

Round 2

Result and we won!

I like Bowser more than Mario! Got probs with that?

Not all people can stay up till late. So this is the 3rd and also final match for our Mario Kart Wii online session. I must say, I very lucky in this match. 150cc is actually quite fast and heart pounding as you will never know what is coming at you. Luck and skills are very important in this game!

I win? Yatta!

That's all for the updates. So, you wanna join us on Mario Kart Wii online session. Come join us at Lowyat Mario Kart Wii Thread! That's all for now. Thanks for viewing and see you soon!

Play-Asia Haul for May

Thanks alot, CUSTOM!

Great handling.

Those package actually arrived last Friday and I didn't have time to go pick them up. Consider it's already Tuesday, I went to pick it up yesterday. I was actually only expecting 1 package but 3 packages! And I see taxes coming, and I was never wrong. So I went up to the Custom Department.

They even spelled "Video" wrongly.

As I thought each package will only roughly get charged by RM20 plus. I actually brought RM55 down only. I called my friend down and ask him to get another RM20 prepared. As usual, custom asked my to open the packages. And... they charged me a near amount of RM100. I was shocked, knowing I will not have enough money to pay the tax. But, luckily there's another custom came across and discounted almost 65% of the total amount. Thanks! So, what are the content in the package?

Voila! Game Haul this time!

It's been a while I have bought lots of stuff from Play-Asia. I'm a Nintendo Fanboy, so what you see are all related to Nintendo's gaming console and gaming handheld. Hehe. So here's what I have:

1. Mario Kart Wii
2. The World Ends With You
3. Gyakuten Saiban 3
4. Subarashiki Kono Sekai (The World Ends With You) OST
5. Nintendo DS lite Protector Clear Casing
   
6. Hori System Bag DS

Interested with some of item above? Click the link for each item and checkout at Play-Asia! I will review them soon!

Alrighty, that's all for now. Thanks for viewing my haul. I hope you can also support my Play-Asia affiliate. Thanks and see you soon!

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Finally I got it? Yatta?

It's about time for me to own it. After waiting for months for this piece of game! I must say it's a game you don't want to miss if you own a Wii. Most likely this is the game is what you will like about, smashing people, kick someone's ass you don't like and mostly importantly is online battle! I tried playing online with local players or not too far away players, everything went very smoothly. Though I wouldn't recommend playing random match since we Malaysian will be connected to US player anyway.

So... I actually prefer the Japan logo for this game.

These are the characters they offer you when you boot up the game. It's more than enough! Let me count, there are still 12 characters for you to be unlocked. Either you finish up the adventure mode or you can spend 24 hours on the Brawl mode. To view all characters after unlock, please click here.


What I really like here is you can save the replay down either into your Wii or your SD Cards, or even pause the game and take a snapshot. If you are bored brawling, you can always look back at your replay and snap some funny photos. Or purposely make one out. You get what I meant. This!

Snake: "Oh my. Pantsu!"

Last but not least, previous Smash Players might not get used with the wiimote. Thankfully, the developers allow players to use either Wiimote, Nunchuk + Wiimote, Classic Controller and lastly, Gamecube controller. So what would I choose?

Gamecube Controller! SWEET!

As conclusion, you Wii owner don't buy this game, you shouldn't have own a Wii! Haha, just kidding. That's all for now. Thanks for reading and till then, see you next time!

Mario Kart Wii soon for America.

It's time to drive dangerously.

It's coming soon to the America this 27th April. While Japan and Europe are playing them already. Can't get myself hands on this piece of game. The game comes with a Wii Wheel which it's a plastic wheel to put your Wiimote in and you can steer in the air!

Do I look like jailed? A friend of mine found this car plate on the roadside when he went picked it back to school. I drive dangerously and threw items at people. In the end I get jailed. Hell Yeah! I'm ready to go online anytime to race with worldwide!

Hopefully I can get my Mario Kart Wii on early May, hopefully... That's all for now. Thanks for reading and see you next update!

Best Mario Game Is Here!!!

Superrrrr Mariiiyooo Gayyylexxyyyy!

Disc channel with Super Mario Galaxy.

One of the best game in 2007 had just arrived in my house, thanks to the lousy service of my local post office that makes me wait two months for this game. Moreover, I still have a Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the way here.

My Wii channel.

This game everything you wish for since the Super Mario 64 and unfortunately not the Super Mario Sunshine. Basically, what you will be doing in Super Mario Galaxy are chasing rabbits, getting a hardcore score of 120 stars instead of 60 stars which will get you to the end of story anyway. Not to forget, save Princess Peach and also new pretty lady, Roselina. I was thinking, why not leave Princess Peach and stay with Roselina. Haha.

In game screen.

The graphics are spectacular! Playing this game at the beginning might get you feel a little dizzy due to the planet flying around and end up upside down. On the downside, it's a little too easy for the old time gamers as I managed to get 60 stars by just spending 7 hours on the game. Let's move on to the controls, it's very easy to master the controls. To spin, just shake your wiimote. Taking the starbits is so easy that you just get your wiimote and aim at it. This game allow a 2nd player to join in, they can help you take down enemies by slowing em down. Not to mention, 2nd player can help you collect starbits too.

---

Lastly, the music is beautiful. I love every bit of the music, there are re-master music for old time gamers and basically the whole collection of Super Mario Galaxy's music are re-master and orchestra.

The art box.

That's all for now. For those Wii owners who are still wondering whether to get this title or not. I say just go for it. There is definitely no regrets for me to get this title. Okay, I'm off. Thanks for reading and see you.

Hori Wii Silicon Cover Set

Just what I needed...

Hori Wii Silicon Cover Set.

From what I have learn for my Nintendo DS lite, I know someday my Wii Controllers will turn yellow due to hand sweaty when we play games with them. Therefore, I bought Hori Wii Silicon Cover Set.

Matched really well.

The color I chose to buy fits real well with the Wii Controllers. In fact, I love the outcome!

Opening up the battery cover.

Closing the silicon up.

The closing make me easy to change the battery as there is no need for me to take the silicon out from the Wiimote. All I need to do is just peel the back side of the silicon off and I can take the battery cover out.

Holding the Wiimote and Nunchuk.

Usually I always though silicon might make our grip on the controller a little bit sticky, but the feels of holding the Wii Controllers is much better!

Decepticon!

Recently, I bought a thin layer silver Decepticon sticker and sticked it on my Wii! Every morning, I peep on my Wii and see whether it transforms or not. Haha, just kidding!

Hori Wii Silicon Cover Set are available in 3 colors: white, grey and blue. Now, you can purchase this silicons at Play-Asia. That's all for today. Thanks for reading!

Shopping @ Virtual Console

Oldies Goodness. Bought 1000 Virtual Console Points.

Yay! Bought 1000 points from Nintendo via credit card.

If you still loves the old times games and you own a Wii, then you should come to Virtual Consoles and buy some classix games for your Wii. Its not expensive at all, every 1000 points they charge would be USD10. Game price range from 500, 600, 800 and 1000 points depends on which console you download from. So far, there are NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis, TurboGFX16.

Super Mario Bros Forever!!!

I couldn't decided what to buy first. So in the end, I bought a 1985's games. It's Super Mario Bros! The one we used to love and play alot! This games cost me only 500 points, so basically its USD5. My next target would be Sonic and Tails. That would be sometime in the future. It's not easy to ask permission to use credit card from my parents.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading!

Nintendo Wii

Will you Wii Wee with We?

Nintendo Wii + some stuffs

It's my second Wii since my 1st buy was a PAL version and I was forced to sell of to my sister as Nintendo Wii is region locked and she stays in Brisbane, Australia. Nonetheless, I got myself a NTSC/US Wii and I also bought down 2 games as stated above. (Mario Kart is not for sale.)

Wii Channel, can you guess what that game is?

Let's talk a little thing about Wii. On the Wii channel above, there are Game Channel, Mii Channel, a place where you create your avatar, Photo Gallery, Wii Shop, a place where u buy classic games and download software for Wii, Forecase Channel, News Channel, "Everybody Votes" Channel and lastly my personal favourite, the Internet Channel.

Have I mentioned using internet on a 32" LCD HDTV rocks? It really ROCKs! Let's take for an example:

Oh yea... I can view my blog on 32" LCD HDTV!

The Internet Channel is powered by Opera.

The internet is accessible by enabling the Wiiconnect24 and a wireless acess point. For me, I use the Nintendo Wifi USB connector. You can get it on Play-Asia. In the future games like Mario Strikers Charged, the game is Wifi compatible. So I recommend a Wii owner or future Wii owner to have a wireless connection.

The Nintendo Wii

The Wii itself is surprising small and powerful. The US Nintendo Wii comes with a free game which is Wii Sports. The Wii Remote or what people prefer to call it Wiimote is comfortable to hold but hand can be a pain moment if you hold you hand out to straight. While the Nunchuk consist of 3 axis and it's really lightweight. Graphics on the Wii may not be the next-gen graphics but that's not really a main factor for at least me.

For more information, you can check the Official Wii Website. Off I go swing the Wiimote. Thanks for reading.
