[Now Playing| Advance Wars 1 - DS]

Well, Im back from my cousin’s shotgun wedding. It was nice to see all of the extended family. I actually had a lot of fun and noticed that all of my cousins and even some of my uncles had either matured or have gotten more relaxed. Good times.

As its been for the last few weeks, there isnt much in the way of gaming news. Reggie has been hinting about the Revolution, Mario is whoring himself out in even more games (this time its Dance Dance Revolution), there are rumors that Soul Caliber is coming to the DS, and rumors that Mario 128 is coming to the Gamecube and not the Revolution.

I have to admit, its getting a bit ridiculous that Mario is getting thrown into all of these third party games. I guess it will help sales, but its also devaluing Mario as a property. And if its true that Mario 128 is Cube bound Ill honestly be upset. Sure, Im looking forward to the next new Mario game, but if the Revolution doesnt launch with a Mario or Zelda it will start off on the wrong foot, just like the Cube.

So, we possibly have Mario 128, a new Zelda, and StarFox Assualt releasing in the twilight hours of the Cube, what is going to be ready for the Revolution so that it can ship along side the PS3? I guess we will have to wait and see. At least I know that my Cube is going to be getting plenty of love for quite awhile.
