Mario Kart Wii sells 8.94M in 2008; Huge Mushroom Kingdom Lawsuit Follows

February 2, 2009 by myka

MY BASEMENT - It was reported today by Gamespot.com that Mario Kart Wii sold 8.94 Mllion copies in 2008. While a great debate could be waged over the success being a result of a finely crafted family game or if people just like to spin cheap pieces of plastic around like idiots, thats neither here nor there at the moment. The one thing for certain that everyone thinks about when they think "Mario Kart" is heated and bitter legal battles! More details after the jump.

No, there is not going to be a Phoenix Wright: Ace Mushroom Attorney game anytime soon. The real story is behind the schenes at the Mushroom Kingdom castle. It seems that most of the Kart game's cast is incensed that Mario recieves such a huge cut of the over $50,000,000 raised by the sales.

"It's not fair, he's not even one of the better racers!" said Toad angrily, either upset over the lawsuit or that his body shaped and color is essentially a diseased penis.

We tracked Mario down for comment. While he refused to officially offer comment, we overheard him talking on his cell phone to someone he reffered to as "The Mushroom Slinger" saying he was "Jonesin' bad for some of that crazy shit he had last time." He also went on to say "I don't care if she needs the money, I'm telling you, it ain't my baby."

Riiiight Mario, it's probably some other huge headed blue overall wearing gigantic nosed plumbers baby.

The last thing we'd want to do at Two Bit News is speculate, and we're not sure who exactly will win this legal contest, but we're pretty sure Mario is a crackhead and a deadbeat dad.

Recheck your credit card balance -- if you're close to the limit, now is the time to settle up. There are lots of ways to manage debt like shaking trees and selling the apples that fall out. If you didn't understand this piece of advice, it's because you don't play Animal Crossing, and therefore, are not a complete idiot. Congratulations.

Tony Hawk video games are the new Madden NFL

January 2, 2009 by myka

This issue has been bothering me for a few months now and I wanted to get it off my chest.

I still remember how amazing it was playing the original Tony Hawk Pro Skater for Dreamcast (yes, Dreamcast, get off my back, it was amazing.) and it absolutely blowing my mind. Finally a game that made you feel like you were in control of a real skater from the get go, but also with the potential for mind blowing stunts not possible in real life.

Guitar Hero: World Tour Song By Song Review

November 20, 2008 by myka

Well, the 4th edition of the Guitar Hero series is upon us and it's rife with already done hackneyed game functions stolen from Rockband, but hey, it's got cymbals!
I'm not going to bore you with my opinion of how much the sensitivity levels of the drums suck, or how awesome it is that you can trick your girlfriend into playing a video game with you. You can read that shit on some other website that actually cares if you're informed. Micah and KT are here to enterain and, of course, educate!
