More Wii Bundles

/

 

It appears that Nintendo is not going to let the Wii go quietly into the dark. Just a short time ago they announced a price drop and a new bundle for those that had yet to purchase a Wii, and now they have added fuel to that fire.  Today Nintendo has announced two more Wii bundles.

The first of these bundles is a White Wii that will come with a matching Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuck as well as Ubisofts Just Dance 4. This bundle has an MSRP of $129.99. The other bundle is a blue Wii with matching Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuck. Its big difference is that it will come with Skylanders Giant, one portal of power, two Skylanders characters and one exclusive Giant Skylander. This system has an MSRP of $149.99 attached to it. More money for more physical items I supposed.

Both of these bundles are set to be in stores on Nov 4, 2012 and will be availble in limited quantities. At least that is how I read "while supplied last" in the press release. What the starting supplies are though is anybody guess.

I don't know about you, but I am enjoying these interactive trailers that have become popular as of late. The latest of which to follow this new trend is Ubisoft with Assassin's Creed III. This one has a nice set of options for multiple viewings. Enjoy!

This Weeks Geek - The Assassins

/
Quiet, unassuming, deadly. These are the traits of a master assassin. They can blend in with a crowd, disappear into the shadows, kill a target without being spotted and then disappear without a trace. But why does one become an assassin? Is it for revenge? Are they born into it? Or is it something more? With the wealth of assassin based games that are coming out this season I felt now would be a great chance to look into this dark and seedy underworld.

Wii Price Drop

/

Are in the market of a Wii, a second Wii, or a replacement Wii? Well have a I got some good news for you. Nintendo is releasing a new Wii bundle as an attempt to make one final push on Wii sales before the Wii U ships. This new all bundle will be replacing the current system that comes with New Super Mario Bros. Wii. This system will include a black Wii, black Wii Remote Plus and matching Nunchuck controller, and both Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort on one disc (both fancy and convenient).  The best part of this, the new system is going to retail at $129.99.  While stores are already getting the new console you can expect it to be widely availble by 10/28/2012 (Nintendo has a thing for Sundays it would seem).

Ohio State University Marching Band Games Tribute

While looking around on the internets, I came across this video from a recent half-time performance from the Ohio State University Marching Band.  Being a former band geek and knowing that IrishPride is still a band geek, I thought that him and others would get a kick out of this video.  The band has some amazing timing and choreography along with classic video game tunes (except for one).  Good job guys!

I felt that I have kept forgetting to bring this game up, and now it comes out Tuesday. So with that I will finish this assassin's trifecta with an interactive trailer for Dishonored.

This interactive video contains some minor spoilers, and is best played while in 'Full screen'.
