All's Good (For Now)

All the "Wii Revolution" game pages has been successfully transfered to the new format.  I'll get to the rest later today.

Don't mind the mess.

It looks like I'm running into a few formatting issues installing the new game page look on the old pages.  Once I finish uploading the new PHP files, I'll work on fixing up the pages so they look OK under the new format.  In the meantime, just ignore it if the game pages look at bit messed up.

New Game Page This Week

If all goes well, there should be a new game page for New Super Mario Bros Wii by the end of the week.

New Era Page Design - Give Me Your Feedback

I've been experimenting with a new design for the era pages and I would like you guys to tell me what you think.

My test page for the main design is the game page of Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story.

Here is what the page currently looks like.

Here is the page with the new design.

I made the design so I could easily incorporate it into the existing pages with very little hassle.  Most likely this design will used for the new game page I plan to make for New Super Bros Wii.

So sorry for the lack of updates

This semester has been my busiest ever (thanks mostly to a class they had 4-5 required reading a week).

I'll be finished for the holidays by next week and I promise that updates will be more frequent (at least for the month of December).

Random Thought

Seeing New Super Mario Bros Wii in the store really makes me wish I owned a Wii.

C'est Le Vie.

Enjoy the new design

MetalMan helped to redesign the main page.  Hope you enjoy it.

Things have been really busy this month, but there should be some new updates soon.

I Think I've Been With This Site Too Long....

...now, I'm dressing up as Mario (Happy Belated Halloween).

Itsa Me!

Just received my Club Nintendo Mario Hat.

I'll probably make a Products Page entry for it within the week.

In Memory of Captain Lou....

New Comments System Fully Integrated

Disqus finally added Blogger importing, so now all the comments on both this blog and the news page are fully hosted by Disqus (which should help make the blogs have a bit more of a discussion format).

Comment away.

Sorry for the Lull

The last 2-3 weeks were very hectic for me with both the return to school and the Toronto International Film Festival.

Things have calmed down now and I hope to have a new game page for Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story up within the next day or two.

Thought I would share this with SMBHQ readers

I went to the Toronto Fan Expo last weekend (the Canadian equivalent of the San Diego Comic-Con) and I had the pleasure of meeting Victor Lucas and Scott Jones from G4 Canada (I wonder if Kyle knows them through his freelance work)

Here's a photo of me with them:

Update on Updates

I can say that the recent lack of updates can be attributed both to me not liking to be on the computer when it's hot and that I can't really think of any good content for updates.

Perhaps I should find a way to make user-submissions more accessible, since I hardly received any of those (heck, even the mailbag questions have really slowed down).

Feel free to comment with suggestions.

What happens when you mix Mario with Tarantino?

Something like this:

Gone for a Week

Just a notice that I will be away for the next week or so.

As such, there will be no updates until then.

600 Club Nintendo Points and All I Get is a Hat?

True, it's a Mario Hat, however I was expecting a little more for all the work I spent accumulating points.

Well, I also had the option of a Punch Out Wii download, but that is even more worthless, since I don't own a Wii.

Oh well.

Don't Ever Promise Updates During a National Holiday

I put into consideration that we were going into a long weekend when I promised the update. As such, I haven't been home much this week.

So, I will now make sure to have that update ready for Monday (maybe sooner if I have time).

Updates to Look Forard to

I'm planning to continue the DSiware game pages with a page for Mario Vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again.

Expect that page by week's end.

Watermarks are the bane of my existence

My biggest pet peeve when making game pages is that I have to search for ages to find screenshots that don't have some sort of watermark slapped on them.

It's not like those sites own the Nintendo copyrighted images.

This should make your day.

The Beginning of a New Era

Not exactly.

However, this blog will now be used more often now that the headlines are visible on the main page.

Slim Updates for the Near Future

Things are really busy this term on the school-front.

I find myself having trouble keeping up with my schoolwork let alone finding time to update SMBHQ.

As such the updates will be a little less frequent for the next couple of months.

Hope you understand.
