Pokémon Sheet Remake: Charmeleon

Well, I guess I lost some steam, but hey, I think I'm back!

I've always loved the Charmander line, and Charmeleon's no exception. Charmeleon's a total badass. Like all of the Gen. 1 Starter Middle Forms, he's the Teenager who's got an attitude problem, and it just adds to his charm. I think it also has something to do with him reminding me of a Raptor (Even though he's clearly just a lizard...), but he's totally the coolest middle form ever, and if Charizard didn't one-up him for me, he'd be my favorite Fire Starter of all time (The line as a whole is my favorite, but Charizard just barely edges out Charmeleon for me)

Snorlax is being remade next!

VGM of the Week #65

Hey, it's Josh again with another VGM of the Week!

This time, I wanted to go with something that I think is just awesome...NintendoLand has a Ton of Charming Content, but I love almost every Remix that appears in the game (As well as the few completely original tracks)...

My favorite remix happens to be from a game that I have yet to play in NintendoLand, Mario Chase. The Music from Mario Chase's Chase Arena is a wonderful remix of Super Mario Bros. 3's Athletic Theme...I think all of the Bleeps & Bloops, as well as the Background music really add something to this Classic Mario tune.

Extra Joy #7 - Wii U Nintendo Direct

Yesterday, Nintendo announced a whole ton of stuff at their latest Nintendo Direct conference all about the Wii U. Things we haven't heard of before, things we wanted and things we didn't know we wanted until now. Bombs were dropped and we came from the battlefield cover in ash. So naturally, we decided to talk about it in podcast form. It might be shorter than our average Extra Joys but hey, if you want to know what we thought of all the news, it might be worth a listen.

You can check out the downloadable MP3 version here.

Pokémon Sheet Remake: Wartortle

It's been a few days, but I'm back with a new...remake!

I always really liked the Squirtle line...I mean, I really like all of the first Gen Starters, and Wartortle always stuck out as the strangest Middle Form for a Starter (Well, at least in Gen 1)...Don't get me wrong, he's still really cool, but there's just so much that I don't understand...like why his Ears & Tail get so big, just to shrink when it evolves...All-in-all, I really like Wartortle...I just always found that a little strange...

Charmeleon's being remade next!

VGM of the Week #64

So I guess I should probably do an N64 track this week, hmm?

NOPE.

Instead, take this hauntingly beautiful tune from Streets of Rage!



This tune just hits me. Fun fact, the first time I heard this track was actually not from a Sega Genesis but when my dad played it on an old keyboard. I immediately had to know what those sweet chords were from, and knowing is half the battle. Anyway, enjoy.
