1. First up today is an insane eBay bid! Do you like Tetris? How much do you like Tetris? Enough to spend 1 million dollars on a copy? Well, if for some reason you do, now’s your chance! A copy of the original version of Tetris for the Sega Genesis is expensive on its own, but guess what? This copy is signed! According to the creator of the auction, the lot has the ONLY signed copy in the world of the original version! The 1 million dollar price tag is only an asking price, though he’s willing to go lower than that. If for some odd reason you have a million dollars and you feel like blowing it on a game (or just want to check it out), place your bid here. What do you think? If you had the money, would you even consider buying this? Do you think it is a good deal?
2. Because there is NEVER enough 3DS news, here’s some more 3DS news! Yesterday I said that 10 select NES games will be coming to the 3DS Virtual Console and will be available for free for the people who bought the 3DS at full price. You may have wondered (but probably not), what about the games that have a multiplayer function? Take Super Mario Bros. as an example. You can’t really do two player with a single 3DS unless you just pass off the 3DS when it’s another person’s turn, but you definitely could not do simultaneous multiplayer. Well, Nintendo has thought of this! The classic NES games will actually be upgraded with multiplayer across two 3DS’s. It hasn’t been announced whether it will be local or online, but knowing Nintendo and their knack for making things less convenient then they should be, it’s probably going to be local. What do you think? Will this upgrade be any good, or will it be ruined by local connectivity? (For more information, read the full article)
Awesome job as usual! Never though my gamming news would come from a random stream I found by chance cause they were streaming super meat boy :p
ReplyDeleteMoving on. I would never buy that copy for Tetris. Even if it was like 100$.
As for the 3DS.... I sort of actually think they should do local only. Not only its easier to do (i think) but also avoids possible lag and will remind people of the old days on the couch!!
I do not think there is a need for net conection. But then again.. I would not have anyone to play with here :( so....
