Update: Wii Party on this Saturday

November 19, 2008

Remember some time ago we announced that we are going to have a Wii Party this coming Saturday? There has been some changes to the details… yeah, changes.

We are not gonna have Guitar Hero World Tour and Rabbids TV Party this Sat, due to… many reasons. Sorry for the disappointment.

The main games that we are gonna have are the following

  • Mario Kart – Back by popular demand!
  • Super Smash Bro Brawl  - Its a good, competitive fighting game, right?
  • Rabbids 2 – Clouette’s favorite, no other reason

+ many more other games that we can bring to the venue.

The event is turning into more of a private party for all long time GameFrontz supporters, we hope to see you there!

Wanted: Location for Rayman TV Party launch

October 7, 2008

We are now searching for a location for our Rayman TV Party tournament cum launch party. Preferably accessible and big enough for 20-30 people at a time. Date should be 15 or 16 Nov, afternoon timing. The party should be a semi-private one, for our regulars customers.

If you have a good and cheap (or free) location in mind, do let us know.


DSi announced

October 2, 2008

kolslorr posted everything except for the new DS, which is call DSi. It’ll be on sale in Japan in November, that’s fast! Nintendo always managed to keep everything in the wraps till the right and ripe time to do so.

I am so going to get the white one to go with my Wii. And yes, my under-played PSP is going to my brother. It’s time the I show some brotherly love. There’s simply no games for me in PSP. Animal Crossing and Mario Party DS, here I come!

And, my wife actually booked 2 tickets for us to Tokyo in first week of November. This is too good to be true, I’m going to be the first Singaporean to play with the DSi, hahahahaha!!! Pre-orders for DSi?

DSi specifications:

  • White or Black
  • 18900 yen
  • VGA 640 x 480 camera
  • Dual camera
  • Smaller and thinner than DS Lite
  • SD slot
  • Internal memory
  • No GBA slot

DSi capabilities

  • Photo editor software
  • DS Ware – download games to play on DSi
  • Free Nintendo Points

My advice, stop buying DS Lite till DSi is out. No more R4 hahahaha

Little Big Planet craze

October 2, 2008

Take a look at our new banner, LBP craze is coming to town. Alot of people is going to watch Sony announcements at the Tokyo Game Show. Take a look at the LBP booth in “First Look” show, it certainly has a casual and Nintendo look in them. Sony is going casual, wow! Die, you hardcores, die!!!


Nintendo conference on Oct 2nd

September 29, 2008

Last year this time Nintendo announced Monster Hunter 3 has switched camp from PS3 to Wii. That was the biggest announcement, big enough to upset many PS3 fans and cheer Wii owners.

IGN link

This year, as usual, Nintendo will be skipping the prestigous Tokyo Game Show and holding its own Nintendo conference. Surely there will be some interesting announcements.

Many people guess that a new DS will be announced. Others hopes for games like new Zelda or Mario. Yet others are skeptical of it because of what happened to E3 (Wii Resorts and Wii Speak). The most hardcores are betting their money on a storage solution. What will you expect from it?

Look out for live blogging or video on this Thursday.


Rabbids Tournament

September 23, 2008

I’d love to have a Rabbids tournament. Every night I’m dreaming of beating other players with my raving powers. Maybe we can have one on our next outdoor Wii Party. Kolslorr and I are still trying to get hold of a venue.

Here’s my dream tournament:

  1. Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 game
  2. 2 vs 2 format, for the game to be fair
  3. At least 8 teams
  4. Each team play twice, on two pre-configured custom sets of games
  5. Top 2 highest scores teams play each other in finals
  6. Winning team wins 2 copies of Rayman TV Party
  7. Highest score member of winning team will be crowned King of Rabbids!

Hopefully we can find a venue in time and have Maxsoft sponsor the prizes. Any other suggestions?
