So Before the last day of BaD I figured I'd take the time to point out that the Wii is now officially a dead system (Well duh I knew that!" You're probably thinking).  But despite some rumors Nintendo still has the wi-fi  kicking...until now. Nintendo is pulling the plug on Nintendo Wi-Fi for Japan on both the DS and Wii. Now this will have some significance because it will more than likely hit worldwide as well. But what exactly does this mean?

So I've covered a wide range of topics and I'm really sure what these next three blogs will entail. I'm more or less out of ideas. I mean there are always things to talk about for sure. I try to steer away from anything too controversial so nothing religious or political gets mentioned. I sure could have talked about February being black history month, but it's a touchy subject. I for one am not qualified to discuss the subject and if I did I feel I wouldn't do it justice.

It has been ages since I played Pokemon...well not really. I have Pokepark 1 & 2 for Wii (Does that really count?) I guess in terms of main titles I have failed to play anything. I only bought the Heart Gold Remake due to the fact that Gold was also the last game I played respectively. It's odd to think I've skipped on the 3rd through 7th generations (I think thats how many there are)

I've often come to think about the whole games as movies. And with Need For Speed coming to theaters eventually I have wondered...Why hasn't it worked? It's a bit perplexing. You have these fantasy realms in which to explore and try to bring to film. But Hollywood has had a hard time bringing games to the big screen. Yes there are critical successes. Wreck It Ralph while not a video game, was video game inspired. And it seems to be that way with most things. One highly fascinating video game documentary is King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. Or going way back we can take a look at Disney's Tron...a computer animated, technological feat. 

Video games are terrific. They provide a release from the harsh reality that is life. But don't you wish you could do something from a video game? Or how about things you shouldn't? We all know that video games are fantasy so take this as a wish list if you will. Now a reminder your top five may be different than mine.

So today I found myself waking up thinking I was late for work because it was still dark out and didn't bother to check to see the PM/AM setting. But, that's not all today. I've also found myself watching and playing games with glitches and or bugs. We've all come across them in one way or another. At times they break a game, at times they amuse you. But where would we be if we didn't try to exploit game programming to either cheat or find things in games we aren't supposed to?

So this topic is going to be a bit different...or maybe not. Anyways I love videogames, I enjoy playing video games, I'm opinionated, I review, analyze, and even try to play as many genres as possible. However, I could never do this job professionally and there are many reasons as to why.

I have a ton of badly made Wii games. I've discussed this a little in my king of crap blog. However, sometimes developers did attempt to make a good game...or at least not one that is total garbage. So, I'll do a best of and worst of. But not all Wii games are bad...though most are, so here is a list of titles maybe you missed out on or should be thankful you did.

I really like LEGO. It's a childhood memory that will always stick with me. Screw Mega Blocks and Lincoln Logs...LEGO is where it's at. But it seems to me that LEGO has grown even more and more powerful. I remember when LEGO was just a small little hobby. Nowadays it has TV shows, video games, movies, etc. Having recently watched The LEGO Movie (Hilarious by the way and beautifully animated) I've come to reflect on my LEGO past.

You've read the blogs, you've heard the fans cry out. Websites have posted their opinions and at times irked people with what is simply known as bait topics. But does The Legend of Zelda need change? It's a very hotly debated topic among fans. Some have felt the series has grown stagnate in it's 25 years of gaming relevancy. Sure Nintendo  has made tremendous strides towards evolving the series. Each new game gives the fans something new...whether they like it or not. The series has done some things differently in recent titles whether it's the item upgrades in Skyward Sword or the item system in Link Between Worlds.
