You may be among the section of gamers that I just called wimpy boy. They're the ones who complained so loudly and consistently about Mega Man 9's difficulty that Capcom created an easy mode for Mega Man 10.
Well wimpy boys, take a look at this video and tell me something. Are you proud of yourselves? Well, are you?

I was feeling a little low, but this nugget helped put a smile on my face.
The director and producer of Little King's Story said this in a recent interview:
"I am very pleased with the positive scores everyone has been giving us and very glad that the hard work we put in paid off. I would love for more users to play and experience the game. I would love to do a sequel! I already have ideas for it too!
We already have a game concept ready but...unfortunately, haven't gotten the "go" sign yet. With everyone's support we may be able to create a sequel."
That would make me very happy. To anyone reading this who hasn't yet played Little King's Story, I have one question for you. Go play it now!
.. I'm aware that wasn't a question.
So it didn't take me long to completely love New SMB Wii. But while joking around with friends as we played it, I realized a few things I'd love to see in the eventual sequel (There will be one, you just watch.)
First of all, the roster. At first, someone said "Hey, instead of two Toads, why isn't there Peach?" Which lead to "..Why isn't there Toad and Toadette?" And then came "Oh! Wario and Waluigi!" and then finally "You know who's not in any real games? Daisy."So! 8 characters. Each has a size and strength counterpart. Kind of like the original Super Mario Kart was set up. Daisy, Waluigi and Toadette are criminally underused characters in the Mario universe that get very little respect in the gaming circles, and I think they deserve to be given a shot as real characters in a real game. Waluigi especially. I love that guy.
Secondly, the powerups. Okay, imagine this if you will. Mushroom, Star Man, Fire Flower, Ice Flower, Mini Mushroom, Mega Mushroom, Poison Mushroom, Racoon Suit, P-Wing, Tanooki Suit, Cape, Propellor Hat, Spring Mario, Hammer Bros Suit, Turtle Suit, Frog Suit, Penguin Suit, Bee Suit, Boo Suit, Kuribo's Shoe, rideable Yoshis and.. wait for it.. vegetables you can pluck from the ground! All. In one. Game!
I think it can be done and I think it should be done. It just might take the power of Wii's successor for it to be possible.
