June Begins

Jon here.

Started up yet another run through of Heart Gold for this month’s installment of Gotta Train ‘em All. You can check out my full written thoughts on the previous team on the site: here. We also spent about 15 minutes breaking them all down on our last Nintendshow podcast, which you can listen to here.

We’re still working on a solution that will help the vocals sound less… cavernous... and hopefully we’ll have that worked out by the end of the month for our next show. As far as getting the site off of the basic template we’re using… I’m not sure how long that is going to take. It’s (at the very least) functional the way we have it now, but our goal is to have a more attractive, intuitive layout by the end of the summer. For now, we’ll tough it out. You can also download the show on itunes if you wanna completely avoid the blight of the internet that is GamersUnanimous.com for now. I exaggerate. It’s not the ugliest website ever, but I’m not happy with it.

I wanted to start the next team early because of the deluge of quality software on Nintendo systems this month. By the middle of the month, I won’t have much time to spend on Pokemon. Wes and I are using Abra, Machop, Ghastly, Geodude, Krabby and Skarmory this time around, which is a nice mix of monsters I use frequently (Abra), ones I have not used in a long time (Ghastly, Geodude, Krabby) and ones that I have never used (Machop, Skarmory).

I may be able to convince Wes or Carlos to review a game or two on the 360 and/or PS3 at some point this month, but (aside from review a few movies) I’m not stepping outside my Nintendo bubble at any point in June, possibly not even until The Last Guardian comes out. I’ll definitely be reviewing Ocarina of Time and RE: Mercenaries on the 3DS and (if I have the cash), I’ll be picking up Mystery Case Files (for the wife and me) and Wii Play Motion. The Wiimote+ alone makes it a worthwhile buy, since I’ll need it for Skyward Sword.

Kind of a boring post today, but it’s gonna be the first really exciting month for Nintendo fans in what seems like a long time.
