Friday Video: Makin' those Miis
Yeah, you've probably seen this one already, and that's okay. You don't have to watch it again if you don't want to (but we think it's pretty cool). But Nintendo's latest Wii ads are not only effective, but they reflect the Mii craze that is such a big part of the Wii's success. And since people are using Mii-like images on corporate websites now, Nintendo's boardroom ad is simply brilliant, and that's why it's in the spotlight this week. Check it out after the jump.
Friday Video: No More Heroes
There's nothing like a blood-drenched trailer to wrap up the week, now is there? This one delivers, but what else could we possible expect from No More Heroes? We really, really hope this one ends up as good as it looks, and so it's this week's featured video. Check out Travis and his lightsaber of doom after the jump
Friday Video: Phantom Hourglass footage
Our man on the floor at GDC, the illustrious Andrew Yoon, gave you an overview of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass the other day, so it's only fitting that this week we spotlight a video that demonstrates some of what he was talking about -- both the good and the bad. Check it out after the jump.
Friday Video: It's all about the planes
It really does seem to be flyboy day around here, doesn't it? Well, when you've got a theme going, don't break it. At least, that's our philosophy. We've been talking about Blazing Angels all day, so we thought we'd switch gears and talk about a different, yet related title: Heatseeker. This week's video shows off not only footage from the flight simulator, but also offers a glimpse of the controls. Check it out after the jump.
Friday Video: The Elite Beat Agents and Mel Gibson
So how 'bout that Mel Gibson? Drinking and driving, ranting about, well, everyone... the actor/director doesn't seem to be in the best place these days. It sounds like he might need some help! So what can we do? Why, send in the Elite Beat Agents, of course! They'll fix everything! Well, if the player has the skills to get the job done, that is. In this week's video spotlight, a parody from Game Almighty sends the agents in to help the star on a certain notorious evening. How does it end? Watch the video! All we're gonna say is that it's hilarious.
Friday Video: It's full of questions
Are you burning with the need to share dozens of questions with Nintendo? Are you completely without patience? Then this week's video spotlight is bound to hook you up with everything you need. One intrepid Wii artist figured out that by advancing the system's internal clock, you can suggest as many questions as you want in a day. There is no limit when all of time is at your fingertips! *cue evil laughter*Check out the (somewhat wiggly) video after the jump to see just how to pull this off.
Friday Video: Sgt. Frog
If you're not a huge anime fan, you may not have heard of Keroro Gunso. That's okay; you don't have to know anything to watch this week's featured video. In fact, it may be even funnier if you have no idea what's going on. Whether you're a fan or not, however, we hope everyone can agree that the trailer for the second Keroro Gunso game on the DS is a pretty wacky finisher for the week. It's bright, it's colorful, and it's monumentally silly. Just sit back and enjoy the trials and tribulations of Sgt. Frog.
Friday Video: I have to turn you into a can
There's really not much we're going to say about this one, except that it's pretty random, and that we've discussed the inclusion of this particular musical selection in videos before. Other than that ... oh, we can tell you that it's blue. There's a blue background. And the word "rubbish." Anything beyond that and we'd give it all away (and probably have to understand the cosmic implications of the humor).Happy Friday!
Friday Video: Ultimate secrets edition
This week, we here at DS Fanboy are going to offer you a special treat for our featured video. We're going to reveal a concrete way to realize your dreams of being an international wo/man of mystery, racking up hangers-on and piles of glittering jewels. Oh yes. It's all inside. Awecat will look at you as though you are a giant slab of raw tuna rolled in catnip.The One Who Got Away will call you and want your hot body. F'realz.You will crush your enemies in Mario Kart DS this weekend and make them weep like little girls.If you're ready for your close-up, hit the jump.
Friday Video: Long Lunar Knights trailer
Most of the trailers we've seen from Lunar Knights have been in Japanese, so we figured it was a good week to show off an English version. The video weighs in at nearly three and a half minutes of world-saving, vampire-crushing hotness, and manages to show off just about everything a gamer needs to decide whether or not this one is a must-have. Now that's what we call a trailer.
Friday Video: From the fists of babes
Who could possibly resist video of a tiny girl throwing beatdowns in Wii Sports boxing? We couldn't. The video (after the jump) is just too cute. For the record, we're completely in favor of training young girls to crush their gaming enemies in from an early age. How else will we take over from you guys?
Friday Video: A little friendly competition
What with all this noise about Wii parties, it seemed fitting to turn this week's spotlight on a video that showcases just that sort of thing -- friends getting together and gently kicking each others' asses, Wii style. Sure, it's nothing new to get together with friends and play video games. We've been doing it for years, and if you're here, it's likely that you are, too. But this deal with everyone scheming on our Wii, that's new. The system has become the focus of so many gatherings of gamers that today's video just seemed, well, familiar. Check it out after the jump. If any of you guys are taking Wii footage of your friends and family as well, let us know! We'd love to feature entertaining videos made by the members of our own community.
Friday Video: Let me show you them
Since Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl continue to crush all kinds of sales records in Japan, we thought it only fitting that this week's featured video revisit the game, which is only a couple months away here in the U.S. This one's not new, but that doesn't mean it doesn't show off some Pokemans Pokémon action. Check it out after the jump.
Friday Video: Smoke the Wii
If we could distill all of Nintendo fandom in a short video, it would probably look sort of like this. Well, if we'd had a few beers, but hey, it's Friday and that's okay. But all discussion of our plans for the evening aside, this week's featured video is a music video that spent this week in the spotlight at YouTube, so there's a chance you've already seen it. It's worth another watch, for the humor if nothing else, but there's probably something in there that rings true in all of us ....[Thanks, Aylmer!]
Friday Video: Balloon touch a go-go
Hotel Dusk may have dominated most of this week, but one of the biggest videos we saw this week was dedicated to a non-adventure game. Yes, sometimes we do take breaks from pointing and clicking. So what tempts us away? Racing. Definitely racing. And Diddy Kong Racing DS is definitely going to pull us away from adventure gaming, and that's why this video is in the spotlight this week. It's not the best quality, but it works nicely with some of the other footage we've seen. Check it out after the jump.
Friday Video: Questions and answers
There has really been a flood of videos for Hotel Dusk this week, and so we figured it was only fitting that we bust out another for this week's featured video. If we were any more rabid for this game, it would be called Phoenix Wright. Check out a little gameplay footage after the jump!For anyone who's having trouble checking the video out here (we know there are sometimes issues with nonYouTube vids), just hit it up directly.
Friday video: Elebits + Naruto = love?
We love all sorts of game-related videos, from straight up footage to fan-made homages, but videos that blend several elements from pop culture are always fun. Continuing the theme from last week's dramatic look at Super Smash Brothers Brawl is a similar video, though much lighter in tone. This one features those super cute Elebits and music from Naruto. Check it out after the jump!
Friday Video: pointing and clicking
The waiting, it hurts us, but it's almost over. Still, we figured that it was as good a time as any to break out a Phoenix Wright video for our Friday feature, just to get people in the mood for the second title in the franchise. Justice for All ships next week for gamers in the US, and in March for Europe. Last week, trailer, this week ... gameplay!
Friday Video: smashing it up with our favorite brawlers
We're not sure which part of the hotness that is today's featured video is the hottest, really. But when you blend footage from some of our favorite characters doing their thing in their own games with clips from Super Smash Brothers Brawl, do we really need to quibble about which part is the most awesome? No, probably not. It's best to just soak it in ... and we're all over the music choices, as well.
Friday Video: getting ready for some Justice
Earlier we brought you the print edition metareview, and now it's time for the trailer for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All, the second installment in what is probably the most-discussed franchise around here, and for good reason. This is one guy who needs no introduction. Are you counting down the days yet? We certainly are! And that's why this trailer is this week's featured video.
