Mario On Broadway?

This is the single most amazing thing we have seen performed on stage since that trip to Sweden, you actually find yourself cheering along with the crowd. Take a look chaps:

Is The Nintendo Wii Simply A Joke From Nintendo? ( UPDATED WITH MORE THEORY! )

We're getting a little skeptical now. We sat here this time yesterday thinking the same as every other person:

"OH SHIT"

Followed by:

"TOO MANY JOKES"

Followed by:

"LET'S JUST LET EVERYONE ELSE TELL THEM"

Followed by the exact same feelings we had when we first saw those pictures of the GameCube for the first time on that night of Spaceworld so many many years ago. This was followed finally by realisation and acceptance which is when we finally posted our previous story.

However now we're simply drawn into denial...

"What if?" We thought, or should we say hoped?

For one, everywhere we look that has any reliable Nintendo information and "insider" dependency, for example IGN has reported on the name, but not completely accepted it. Reading the interview they seem to be humoring themselves, and for some reason wii.ign.com points us back to revolution.ign.com. Of course we're only a day into this new name, but still its a little weird, but could just be lazy.

Then we're drawn to Nintendo's Wii site which also remains to be revolution.nintendo.com, and wii.nintendo.com takes you nowhere. Of course this site could simply be waiting for activation come E3. Then there's that video, the logo playing about showing how it's made up of people all playing the games and coming together as "we". This is followed by what looks like a simple excuse for the name. We of course love the final few lines of this, but still the whole thing just feels cheap and shoddy - almost like they're looking for someone to sit there and say... "hmmm wait a minute - they're having a laugh aren't they?".

Are they simply toying with us until E3 arrives? Are they worried that someone will steal the name? Why would they do this? We don't know, it doesn't make any sense - like we said we're just in denial.

UPDATUM:

We ain't the only ones who think it's a ruse!
That link will take you to Boomtown who talk about some marketing blog that's got some other theories...
1) Its a massive marketing ploy
2) The name Wii hasn'’t actually been registered as a trademark in either the US or Europe
3) Then from Nintendo's own mouth: "By letting the gaming community vent now about the name, they will be less distracted as launch titles for the system are announced and initial reports about what it’s like to play the games begin to come in"

But as we have said, we won't know until E3. Until then we'll just have to sift through the negativity from the nay sayers, and the panic from the fanboys. It's all part of the E3 magic.

Nintendo Wii - One Step Closer To Apple

It reeks of iPod and we at GO:Yeah BLOODY LOVE IT!

Now Nintendo needs you. Because, it’s really not about you or me. It’s about Wii.

And together, Wii will change everything.


We're not saying anything else because you all have the internet and you can find it for yourselves.

Game Idea: Snoop Dog VS Airport

We were just reading the Sun's report on the recent bust up between an airport and rapper Snoop Dogg because they weren't allowed into the British Airways 1st Class Lounge.

Now if that's not funny we don't really know what is! Maybe something like...

Airport staff said one minder, who looked over 7ft tall, threw a cop across a room.A worker said: "The officer was around 6ft 2ins but he picked him up like a little kid and sent him flying."

That's just brilliant! Think of the many times you've sat in the cinema and watched something like that happen and just thought it was impossible. NO! Not anymore - THIS IS FACT.


So there has been a lack of boring "Gangsta" style games this year hasn't there? Not since 50 Cent in November! Electronic Arts? Think of the possibilities! Use that Def Jam engine and license to get some incredible State Of Emergency style madness in an airport terminal! You could do a lot worse! Oh no wait... you're still making FIFA games.

Quotes from the Sun article that seals the deal for you:

1. All the groupies were shouting and swearing. (there's your controversial 18 rating!)
2. It was absolute chaos. There were 21 cops trying to calm down this huge group of rappers. (loads of rappers on the screen at once, possible title name: "ABSOLUTE CHAOS")
3. GANGSTA rapper Snoop Dogg was arrested last night after an amazing "mini-riot" at Heathrow airport. (think about that! it's a popular event already! an "amazing" mini riot! but then consider the possible title name for the game again: "MINI-RIOT")
4. Snoop and his pals were due to board a flight to South Africa. The row was seen by singer Ronan Keating, who was in the lounge. (celebrity cameo's and possible locations for other levels of destruction. we find the fact that the sun decided to inform us that Ronan Keating was there is hilarious - is he a witness then, the innocent british bystander? or did he get involved?)
5. Finally our fave: The officer was around 6ft 2ins but he picked him up like a little kid and sent him flying. (if that doesn't seal the deal then you are simply doomed)

There you go - ideas a plenty. If you want more then email us! We've got loads of stuff in our heads! We do think the best title would be

ABSOLUTE CHAOS: Def-Jam Mini-Riot

happy birthday mister minter

According to "our new favourite website" the mighty Wikipedia, today is Jeff Minter's birthday, he was born in 1962, so that makes him.. oo.. um.. 44. probably.

And lets remember how much we owe to Minty, this neon thing on the 360.





yeah, we probably could have done without that, in the two minutes we played with it, it made us feel a little queasy. But Tempest eh, remember Tempest.



oh no wait, Tempest 2000 on the Jaguar.

Well no, we don't really remember Tempest 2000 on the Jaguar, much like the Jaguar itself, we never really played any version of Tempest for any length of time, but other people make us feel bad for that, so we lie and say we loved it, and used to stay up till all hours playing it, and we can barely remember our high scores, they were that high.

we were probably playing r-types, or gradius, or something else, and getting MASSIVE high scores that we can't remember.

HD DVD's Are Out! Batman, Serenity, Chronos and Constantine

Okay so sticking with a Sci-Fi / Fantasy theme, the first HD-DVD's have shipped in the states. We thought about picking one up to look at the box, but that would be it. We have no HD-DVD player, or a HDTV because we just haven't bought one yet. We don't really want to if we can help it.

So let's have a look at one shall we...

Region 1 - Serenity (from DVDBoxOffice £17.54)
Erm, well that's it really what else is there to say? There are the same extras you get on the regular disc, the cases look big and red and you get a high definition version of a movie you probably already own. What's really good is that it's the price of a DVD, we expected the studios to go a bit mad and start charging thirty odd quid. What's funny is that it's about the same price as the UMD version of the movie (£16.56).

Anyway there's a review right here so go check it out!

AintItCool have had a quick look at them too with some Q&A's, but to be frank we're really surprised there hasn't been a lot more noise about these. We just happened to be signed up to the newsletter on DVDBoxOffice.com!

The only thing we wonder about is the tagline at the bottom of each case, "The Best In Picture, Sound And Interactivity". We can understand the Picture and Sound bits, but how are they the best for Interactivity? There's no extras, so are the menu's really that good?

Megaman's Violent Past Won't Leave Him Alone

Scouring the news right now we find ourselves appalled at news of Megaman's apparent third trial in connection with A MURDER.

THIRD?
So what's the story?

Apparently Megaman has been through two previous trials because police have been trying to connect him with convincing someone to shoot someone else over "respect".

At this stage we can only think that this could be some form of promotion for a new game from Capcom, who may have bowed under pressure and turned to the same sort of adult theme (a la GTA) that most do these days.

shocking stuff

THE FUN TO BE HAD WITH A REVOLUTION CONTROLLER!!!

Retina scanner in back of Revolution controller shocker?!?

Nintendo in in shocking eye transplant mix up!?!

Man finds natty plastic piece to cover sty shame?!?

Pirate eyepatch gets a much needed 2006* update?!?

No, just some man who might be from Ubisoft having enforced fun with a Revolution controller. other pictures of this magnitude can be found on the internet. Simply go to Google and type in "morons"

Hopefully, if GO.YEAH hasn't been hacked by then, we'll do a similar photoshoot with the controller when the Revolution comes out. of course ours will be a parody of this one, and therefore utterly hilarious.


*might be 2007 at this rate.

Nintendo BluWave Speculation Continues

We've now been directed to some forums which have been talking about this audio file. The audio is in French and you can hear the words "BluWave" and "Ubisoft" clearly. They are apparently a Ubisoft employee talking about their new game Red Steel.


At this point we think the whole thing's fake, or "le bollocks" if you're French.

No one has even registered nintendobluwave.com, or the trademark, no we're not thinking of doing it, and no we didn't create any of this stuff ourselves.

We don't even like France.

UPDATE - Someone with vast entrepreneurial "sense" has bought nintendobluwave.com

Nintendo BluWave? Is This The Final Name For The Revolution? How Many More Can We Get In Before We Die?

We just got emailed this:


It could be a fake, it could be real, it could be the name of Nintendo's new underwear range...

Say NO To New Technology: ROBOTS!

Do we need em?

We're reading about Robosapien's getting upgrades, and new versions that look like monkeys. (which only reminds us of some horrible version of planet of the apes)

So what are they doing for us? They're not actually doing anything for us, the Robosapien can barely even walk straight. If we need stuff doing for us, we should all just move back in with our parents or even bring back slavery.

Has everyone forgotten about what happened with the Terminator? (they won)

Lost Is Back On UK TV This May!

Anyone who hasn't been watching the second series of lost "because their mate sent it to them from the states" will be able to catch up when the hit TV series makes its way back to Channel 4 this May.

Digital Spy is reporting that Channel 4 have switched the show to Tuesday nights so they can bring it back early and it won't interfere with Desperate Housewives. It will also follow the formula before where you'll be able to see the following episode on E4 straight after at 11pm.

So tune in on May the 2nd to find out what was down that hatch...

Things to get excited about in april.

As exciting as it may be to play Animal Crossing with our uk friends, or to still be playing Ghost Recon, there are a few other things that we just can't stop irritating our minds.


Like a shrimp in a suitcase laying on a window ledge,
like a pair of tartan slippers and they're underneath a hedge,
like a scout master at daybreak putting peanuts in his glove,
like a specially formed ice arch for climbing over doves,
like a sardine in a hair net and he's staring at a priest.

Like a sugar unicycle that's being ridden by a fork,
like a batten berg owned by Jesus that can miraculously talk,
like a lemon pip with sideboards fighting a bearded crab,
or bono in a boob tube on the choir master's lap,
like a elaborate heating system apparently in Kent.

Like a badger with an afro throwing sparklers at the Pope,
like a family of foxes and they're glowering at some soap,
like a lump of Nazi nougat walking down an avenue,
like a Tudor vacuum cleaner saying "How do you do?"
like a kestrel having sex above a television set.
