Windows Vista Transformation Pack 6

I recently found this download that can change your computer's interface to look like Windows Vista. It's called the Vista Transformation Pack 6. It also gives you the Vista Sidebar gadgets which include an analog clock, weather gadget, system uptime gadget, picture viewer, 3-D Recycle Bin (with no purpose), calendar, a Google search box and many more. So far the transformation pack has not affected the way my computer runs and it is virus-checked so there is no need to worry.

The link to download the Vista Transformation Pack 6 is at:

Shiny Pokemon

These are my Shiny Pokémon so far in my Pokémon Diamond.

By the way...

Sorry once again for not posting in a very long time. I have been very busy with homework and grades but my grades are getting back up so I'll post more often from now on.
Thanks.

Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl (DP)

With Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl being released sunday I thought that I would post some info about them.

U.S. Release Date- April 22nd 2007
U.K. Release Date- June 30th 2007
Platform: Nintendo DS
Connectivity: You will be able to connect to WiFi and battle and trade with people across the world. You will obviously be able to trade and battle people using DS to DS. Once the game Pokemon Battle Revolution is released for the Nintendo Wii, you will be able to send pokemon from your Wii to your DS or vice-versa.
Info: The region that DP will take place in is the Sinnoh Region. This region is not connected to another region so you will not be able to travel to Hoenn, Johto or Kanto. The professor in DP is Professor Rowan...also named after a tree.

Video Game Consoles Not Released In The U.S.

i felt like telling you all the video game consoles that were not released in the U.S.
Here they are:

Game boy Light- The Game Boy Light was only released in Japan. It was a Game Boy with a backlight, but the backlight ran out power too fast so it was not released elsewhere.
Panasonic Q- The Panasonic Q was only released in Japan. It has the Nintendo Gamecube technology we all know, but also DVD playback and several other multimedia features.
iQue Player- The iQue (Chinese for "Gods Playing Machine") is a device specifically created for Nintendo's first entry into the Chinese market. The Chinese gaming market is plagued by piracy and so the iQue and its proprietary technology was manifested in order to ensure the release of a profitable device for the region.

Thats all so far. Which means we get most all video game consoles here in the U.S.

Game Boy Micro

I recently got a Game Boy Micro and wanted to talk about it. The Game Boy Micro is 4" long and 2" wide making it very small. The screen is smaller and the start and select buttons are in the middle- bottom of the Game Boy Micro. Instead of rolling or sliding a switch for volume you click on either side of the switch to either turn the volume up or down. The Start and select buttons are lit up by LED lights and when the power is high instead of being green it is blue. It only stays on for a second when turning on the Game Boy Micro but once the power gets low, the lights turn on again and this time they are red and don't turn off. Also, the charger for the Game Boy Micro will not fit any other Game Boy (I don't know why they did that) which I do not like. But, overall I really like the Game boy Micro and basically every Nintendo or Video Game Console.

YAY!!! Winter Vacation!

If you haven't already figured this out because I've been posting blogs when I would usually have school then...Winter Vacation all this week!!! No school until next Monday.

Game Review: DragonBall Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 (Wii)

I am going to start to post Game Reviews. This one is for DragonBall Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 for the Wii.

DragonBall Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is the sequel to DragonBall Z: Budokai Tenkaichi. I think that this game was very good graphics-wise and interactiveness-wise. Though they could have made it so you had to form your hands like the attack you were trying to do. For example, when you do a Kamehameha you pull the Wii remote back then thrust it forward unlike a Kamehameha where you put one hand on top of the other and thrust both hands forward. The graphics were very good and the amount of attacks that you can do is superior to any other fighting game there is. There seems to be infinite combos for you to try and with more than 120 characters to choose from (and almost that many to unlock) this game will take a long time to beat. I find this game addicting because of the hard- core action and fighting. There is also some moves that are not in any of the older DBZ games. This game's story mode goes from the beginning of DragonBall Z all the way to the end of DragonBall GT.

That's my Game Review for DragonBall Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 for the Wii

As I get more games for the Wii I will post there names.

How Nintendo Started

I just wanted to tell you how Nintendo started. Nintendo started as a small Japanese business by Fusajiro Yamauchi. Then he started producing and marketing a playing card game called Hanafuda. Later, he gained access to Disney's characters and put them on the playing cards, in order to drive sales.
You can find more info on Nintendo and how they started out at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo

Nintendo vs. Sony

As you should already know Nintendo has a rivalry against Sony. I think Nintendo is better because Sony has only made PlayStations while Nintendo has made many different kinds of consoles. Nintendo has made more kinds of Game Boys than Sony has made PlayStations. Nintendo has been in the video game business much longer though. Excluding the PlayStation Portable, all of the controllers for the other PlayStations have been the same size, shape and the buttons being all in the same place. Nintendo changes that. For example, the Nintendo Gamecube's button placement is very different than any other Nintendo console. The Nintendo Wii's controller is a remote and when needed you attach a small controller called a nunchuck to the remote and place it in the other hand. This makes the button placement very different than past Nintendo consoles. The Nintendo DS has two screens with one being a touch screen making it very interactive and different from past consoles.

Nintendo Wii vs. PlayStation 3

The Nintendo Wii seems to be winning the rivalry with Nintendo and Sony. The Nintendo Wii is only $249.99 while the PS3's lowest price is $499. The Nintendo Wii also is more interactive. When you play Tennis in the game "Wii Sports" you actually swing the wii remote like you were swinging a tennis racket. The Wii also comes bundled with the game Wii Sports so you don't have to go spend $50 or more on a game right away (unless you don't like Wii Sports, but I think it is pretty likeable and is probably one of the most interactive games on the Wii) like you would if you got a PS3. The Wii has Internet and WiFi capabilities and also a channel called the Wii Shop Channel where you buy games from the older systems. The systems are NES, SNES, Nintendo64, Sega Genesis and the TurboGrafx16. New games are released onto the Wii Shop Channel every Monday. The channels on the Wii are The Disc Channel, Mii Channel, Photo Channel, Wii Shop Channel, Forecast Channel, News Channel, Internet Channel and the Everybody Votes Channel. Also, each game that you buy off of the Wii Shop Channel becomes its own channel. I bought Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 off of the Wii Shop Channel. To sum this up, in my opinion, I think that the Nintendo Wii is better than the PS3.
