It is no longer a secret, friends, I have procured a Nintendo Wii™! Upon finally discovering it loafing about in the wild, I made haste and shot, bagged, gutted, and mounted it proudly next to my television. It is truly a thing of dreams, one that allows newfound ways for me to virtually throw my money at the information superhighway.

Unfortunately, as you probably gathered from that vague sentence, I have also discovered the Virtual Console, a digital Grand Canyon into which I can toss precious moneys with little to nothing being offered in return. Is the trip to my basement, the home of my classic consoles, such a long and arduous one that it warrants this heinous disposal of cash?

Yes. Yes it is.

More on Wii later. I just wanted to do my sexy dance of obtainment, ya heard?

This week, Robotronic Dynamite presents a “deluxe” episode for all of our very best “compadres”!

Consider! The health of you and your loved ones prior to listening.

Subscribe! You know you want to.

Believe! That this will be the last time I do this proclamation gimmick!

Not much to report today, unless you count the receiving of the promo that you would all kill your mothers for! I would write about it, but a simple photograph is probably enough to get you all hot and bothered.

Other than that, I’ve been watching the Devil Lady anime after having owned it for a long time, and am currently trying to deal with the fact that it’s really not very good. The premise is great, as is the music, but it looks like it was animated in Somalia.

I want to start talking about awesome old-school video game adverts in here, but I’m going to kick off with something really new. The below ad is for Sega’s Alien Syndrome game on Wii; I scanned it in from the back of the latest EGM. Why did this catch my eye?

Computer-colored comic look aside, the ad is straight out of 1989. Though it doesn’t go my preferred route of browbeating the consumer into purchasing the game through big font humiliation, the top-running text is certified dynamic.

Indeed, friends, you have to earn that Nanobot-Swarm-Cannon! It would have been off the scales if it ended that exclamation by calling the reader a “bozo.”
