Nintendo Wii Video Clips: Mario Party 8

Below are links to the video clips I did for this game. I was happy to see the bowling one in the extras menu, but disappointed on it not be good like the one in Wii Play. Overall, though I really love the different mini games on Mario Party and how they really get you into using the Wiimote in unique ways. There is also such a large variety of mini games that this game offers many hours of fun.

Nintendo Wii Screenshots: Mario Party 8

Here are screenshots of Mario Party 8. It took me a while to get this game rented as I have been trying to get it since it was released months ago. Well, I got it earlier this month before I canceled the other place. Now finally I am getting around to posting these screenshots on here. By the way I love this game and it is most definitely on my wish list of games to buy. I just love party style games and this one has fun wiimote movements.

Nintendo Wii Video Clip: Sonic and the Secret Rings

Sorry for such a delay in getting this on here. I have been busy with other stuff lately and just did not get around to uploading the video to the computer in order to be able to post it here. This is a clip of collecting rings in a training level. It is short and does not show much, but it does show the gameplay pretty well and the graphics. Believe me you should be glad I did not video the whole first actual level as that would be a long thing to watch, although I guess it may be interesting.

Nintendo Wii Screenshots: Sonic and the Secret Rings

Here are the screenshots I took of Sonic and the Secret Rings. I truly do love the use of the Wiimote in this game, although I have heard others complain it is too hard. Personally I found it easy after I did the tutorial levels. I also love the fast pace of the levels, but some may find it too fast. Anyways I found it really fun to play.

Sonic and the Secret Rings for Wii

Those observant followers of this blog may be wondering by the title if this is screenshots or video clips. Well, today there are none of either. It is just an entry about the game. Do not worry there are screenshots and video clips of this game. I just do not have time to upload to my computer, then the internet, and then post on here before I need to go to bed tonight.

I got this rental game in the mail last week and did not get a chance to play until I got home from my weekend trip up to Baltimore on the train. I really enjoyed playing this game. I thought when I started that I would just play a level now and play some more in the morning to do screenshots and video clips. I enjoyed the game that I played through the beginning tutorial levels that did not seem tedious because it was fun using the Wiimote capabilities of movement such as tilting and moving forward. In the end I guess you could say that I played only one of the real levels after the seven or so training levels. The first real level was fun and nice and long. It was an easy level, but I enjoyed the fact that it was not a quickie first actual level. The game also has some fun mini games. I especially enjoyed trying this one where you move the Wiimote in a circle by holding it with two hands sideways (if that sentence even accurrately described it to be understood by those who have not played). Basically the mini games look like a fun way that this game can be multiplayer and they seem pretty active at least for arms.

Nintendo Wii Video Clips: Tamagotchi Party On

Below is link to some video clips I took when I played this fun game. The clip is of one of the mini game style games that I played. I really liked the way the Wiimote was used in this Handshaking one. Click on the links below to see the clips and how silly the game is, but hey I really did love playing it and would buy if I had any extra money right now.

Nintendo Wii Screenshots: Tamagotchi Party On

I am not sure what prompted me to add this to my Game Q, but something did and so it came and I played it. I surprisingly really enjoyed this game. It is a fun board game style game in which you are trying to gain popularity to win the election. I enjoyed how it nicely used the Wiimote at least to some extent. I especially found it fun to use the Wiimote like a gavel to roll the dice. I think this could prove a fun multiplayer game. Although I am 19 (20 in a few weeks) the age group most likely to enjoy this is probably grade school kids and most likely leans more to the female gender. So here are the screenshots from the round I enjoyed playing last night and yes I did win the election against the easy computer players.
