Welcome Back GoNintendo


The last couple of days I have had no Nintendo news. GoNintendo.com, my favorite site for all things Nintendo had recently changed its layout. I hated the new version and wasn't going to the site anymore. I checked it again today to see if I could get an RSS feed without the crappy layout and to my surprise the old GoNintendo that I loved so much was back. Now I again have a place for the latest news.

#100

On Saturday I purchased Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. This game is the 100th video game that I own. Some interesting stats about my games.


41 Gamecube Games


33 Wii Games (including 25 retail releases, 3 WiiWare, and 5 Virtual Console Games)


23 DS Games


3 Gameboy Advance Games

Average IGN editors score: 8.3 (the highest at 9.8: Metroid Prime and Resident Evil 4; the lowest at 4.0: My Pokemon Ranch)

First Released Game: Luigi's Mansion, November 18, 2001


57 Games were published by Nintendo


16 Games with Mario in the title (he is also a character in Smash Bros Brawl and Melee)

Number of Games I have beat: 20



It took me almost four years to buy 100 games. That is almost a game every other week. No wonder Tammie thinks I am addicted to video games.

Dragonite Event

A Guitar Hero Commericial for Adibobea9

Since Adibobea9 wasn't a fan of the previous Guitar Hero World Tour commercial with the celebrity athletes, Guitar Hero has a commercial just for him.



I think this commercial alone will be enough to get him to buy the game.
