I just came across an interesting game today: Super Chick Sisters. The game is based (very clearly) on Super Mario Bros., and the ad I saw even mentioned that if you love Mario you'll like this game.

Well, it happened sooner than I thought--I got a refurb Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) in late November 2007, completing the "next generation" console trifecta. With enough time passing now, I thought it would be a good time to provide some insight into my thoughts around this current generation of consoles and handhelds. I'll start in the order of consoles I purchased and then finish up with the handhelds.

According to ITMedia News (a Japanese site) Nintendo has officially announced it will cease support of a number of their more classic-consoles: the Famicom/NES, the SNES, GameBoy, GameBoy Pocket and Nintendo 64 (N64).

Leonie Manshanden - marketing director at Midway - has announced they will be producing the classic adventure game Myst for the popular dual screen portable console by Nintendo. Now this is a favorite of mine. I wonder if the other 'episodes' will also become available.

John Carmack - one of the Id software founders - has shown interest into the possibility to create a special Quake-Arena version for the Nintendo DS. He was inspired by playing Metroid Prime Hunters - which is quite a good fps on the Nintendo DS btw! - read more.

Every Nintendo console from Snes and GBA upward seems to be getting its own Mario Kart game and now there is one coming out for the Nintendo Wii. I am very curious after the newly implemented controls and weapons. Can't wait for this one to hit the shelves soon!
