Super Mario Bros 3 (VC) 9.6 Purchased it courtesy of the new Wii points shopping cards and it is much better than I remembered. Always overlooked it because of Super Mario World and 64 but this one runs them damn close as the best Mario game.

Don't worry, we will just 'borrow' them. For those people who can't watch the video on Newgrounds for whatever reason there are newly uploaded versions on Youtube and in high quality on Stage 6. Stage6 Link All the links to this episode and future ones can be found on the Royal Toaster website.

Thanks for all the feedback guys! To Tapedeck Yeh we did the mouth movements the way you said, it seems to be the most efficient method. I was going to ask though, do you know a decent way of exporting to MPEG/AVI as we have used Actionscript and it doesnt read it when exporting to any other format but SWF. I am thinking a screen capture program maybe the best bet but thought you may know another way. In terms of helping out with audio, do you mean voice acting or music/sound effects? We are now generating ideas for the next episode but can't start production until about February due to working on other projects. If people have anything they would like to see in the series or even do a voice for a character then just tell us. By the way, we posted a completely unrelated submission to Newgrounds yesterday as well. Its got swords and dragons! Genuine Authentic Japanese Sword

This second episode came out of the blue, I remember watching the first one months ago. First up, I gotta say the music is great, the opening theme is perfectly suited and the song Cousin Jabego sings is also good. The episode was a good length as well and the sound quality is perfect. My main criticism is the silence in between some parts. The dialogue could have been snappier, a few of the pauses were a bit too long. Apart from that though I enjoyed this episode more than the first and it is definately improving. Good stuff. PS: What are you using to animate the series?

Meh wishful thinking never hurt. I've paid the buggers now anyway. Does anyone know if I have to package it up myself or will they send me a box?

Lol is there any way to force RROD? That towel idea would probably work but also likely set my house on fire.

It costs £60 to get your 360 fixed after the one year warranty which I just found out after my console stopped displaying video. Hopefully the next console they send me will last for years now, or I will not be pleased.

I could never get into this game although I loved the previous ones on the N64. Suppose I was still spoilt by F-Zero X at the time which may have made me favour it less but I just found it a bit uninspiring.

How many games actually came out for the virtual boy, it can't have been many? Almost bought one in Gamestation a while back for £90 but seems a bit steep for a headache.

That gun cradle looks awesome. Is it out for sale in the UK yet? I was going to get the Zapper but from reviews the trigger sounds horrid.

Yeh I agree with what Tellyn said. All I hope for in the next console is a perfected version of the Wiimote, where the type of gesture really matters and you can't cheat just by waving it around or whatever. I think they can make it more complex than just triangulating its position relative to the sensor bar.

Thanks for the comments everyone. To Jasper: I completely agree with your comments Jasper and one of the main things I wanted was some incidental music in those exterior shots and in the background of scenes. However, we started the project far too late and so had to work extremely fast to release it anywhere near the deadline. Unfortuneately this meant that the music had to be excluded for now. Expect the next episode to have more polish to it. As for the drawing differences, it was because two of us did the artwork and we each have a different style which can be a bit of a distraction. We just wanted, for this episode at least, to get the characters all done and a more distinct style will be used in the future. To ReZourceman: It probably took about 70-80 hours altogether, not including the script. 42 hours were done in the space of 4 consecutive days around the time of the deadline. Its not too bad a timescale for a flash cartoon, which is good as we hope to eventually make the episodes frequently to keep up with current gaming events. That is if they keep people entertained. Anyone got any other comments on what they liked/ didn't like or even things you would like to see in future episodes?

Super Turbo Gaming Deluxe: Episode One 'AnniversiWii' (Newgrounds Link) Episode One (Stage6 Link) [HQ] Me and a few friends have started making an online gaming cartoon which will focus on up to date games news and events. The first episode in the series has just been released and we would really appreciate any feedback that you can offer. 'In this episode the three flatmates Ben, Matt and Lewis look back on a year of UK Wii gaming and what living with Mario and Link is really like.'

Yeh I think the best we can hope for is a message from Nintendo or at a push a unique VC game that we have to pay for.

Hey ReZ, I can do a few different voices and am not too bad at acting if you need me at anytime. Some of my work Good luck with Flash, I can also offer some help with that if you need. Ben

Here is a darn good site but don't everyone go using it, wouldnt want to give them reason to increase their prices! http://www.pcoption.co.uk/pcbaseunits/index5d_8800slip4con.htm A Direct X10 desktop for under £500. Need I say more?

Don't know if any one has seen this TV but it has gotten good reviews and is giant for the price. Techwood LCD HD 37" http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/122995 £460 Its a bit more than the price you stated but not too much and it may even decrease in price more before your birthday.

I would just ignore ZeldaFreak guys, the second part of his name says all that you need to know. Anyway, its about time people looked at each console reasonably, there is no way that people who have played an Xbox 360 can say it is a piece of crap as some features have to be admired and as much as I dislike Sony, things like Home and LittleBigAdventure do look cool. The VC and XBLA are both good in their own ways. VC, in my opinion has better games but online play is so important these days that it makes XBLA stronger because if you are going to play the same games again, may as well play them online. And as for Reggie's statement, pure gold, the man is exactly what Nintendo need.

I would try a system restore mate and try to go far back. I lost every file of my Pc atone stage, did a system restore and they had all returned. Surely worth a shot

Yeh gotta agree with Caris Sky will win but the whole thing is a bit petulant. I haven't delved into all the details but it seems we are gettin a lot of bs from both sides, its hard to know who is at fault.

Same for me surprisingly, looks like my gaming knowledge isn't as good as I thought. SOR is a little boring now and I already have it on Mega Drive but it was awesome at the time.

Should we start worrying about Manhunt 2. It shocks me how many PS2 games the Wii is getting, if this really is gamecube 1.5 technology then why have the same graphics as a console inferior to the Gamecube? I know Wii isn't about the graphics but there has to be some standards, you wouldn't do an ugly girl just because she gives a fun experience.

Becoming a man

Yeh that is somewhat true The Fish but there may be others out there who want one and don't want to spend £425.

Meh, I was pretty skeptical of these things until I watched a video on Youtube that was from a bbc news program. youtube.com/watch?v=Vwc597xh18k Seems that they are legit and getting a PS3 for free kinda takes away the fact they are currently inferior to the other games consoles and they cost £425. I have signed up and everything seems to be going fine but what do you all think? Here is the site sonyps3giveaway.co.uk/
