Nintendo Weekend Warrior - on a TV spot, self-mutilation, pastries, and a sandwich bag

This week's recap features a wide variety of news - from a TV spot, self-mutilation, pastries, and even sandwich bags trying to pass off as DSi accessories. While it's not the most gaming-dense rundown we've had, it certainly makes up for it with some amusement. Read on for the Nintendo Weekend Warrior.

Games

No matter how many Dragon Ball games come out, we still keep taking a look at them, because deep down, the Dragon Ball fan in us just wants to run into that ultimate Dragon Ball experience in a video game. This Japanese TV spot is for Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans, shooting for that feeling that we just can't shake. Link
If you've been waiting for Aliens: Colonial Marines, you're gonna have to wait it out some more - the game won't be released this year. Looking at the bright side though, you could play it anywhere now that a DS version has been confirmed. Link
Speaking of waiting it out some more, folks in Europe and Australia will have to put up with a littlle bit of that now that Sega announced that The Conduit release has been moved to July. Link
Love BioWare? The developer has expressed its intrigue with the idea of developing games for the Nintendo Wii. It's not gonna be another casual game for the platform - it's gonna be hardcore. Link
Nothing like a good official site to keep would-be buyers posted on the latest news and goods on their favorite games. For Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, Capcom has launched its official site earlier this week, although it's merely a promotional site at the moment. Link
Karl isn't the only one who got pissed at the Japan-only Fatal Frame 4 release - count me and a team of dedicated fans into that list. These dedicated fans have taken it upon themselves to do the translation that Tecmo didn't see fit to do, so the English-speaking world can enjoy more photography, horror-style. Link

Nintendo

These have been around for quite some time now, but that won't stop the Super Mario Celebration Cakes from hitting the news. Indulge yourself with 14 servings of madeira sponge cake - shaped like a Nintendo DS. Link
Admire the art or condemn the self-mutilation, scarification is the next hottest thing in the world of body-modding. For one BME user, he had the procedure done on his legs, and he had it shaped like a NES controller. Some of you may find the pics offensive, so beware. Link
Who would've thought that a handheld accessory and a sandwich bag would look so much alike? Once you get a load of this item, waterproofing your DSi will never be the same. It's the Waterproof DSi bag a.k.a. a Ziplock bag. Link
Our favorite plump plumber has squeezed into a million things since we first saw him. With this thumb drive listing, Mario will also be able to squeeze into USB ports, and in a few variations too. Link
Now here's something interesting - a study conducted by Dr. Ben Herz, program director and assistant professor in the School of Allied Health Sciences Department of Occupational Therapy, found that Wii-hab may help in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Link
Bored with the same old controller colors? Lucky for the Japanese, they have a shot at getting some cool blue Wiimotes and Nunchuks thanks to Club Nintendo. Link
The PS3 isn't the only console that's getting the price cut predictions. Even the top-selling Wii has been predicted to get a price cut, so those who have plans of getting a Wii might want to read this one. Link

Homebrew

No waninkoko or Tantric this week, but we do have Cboomf and Felix123 and their update ffor Wii Web Server Alpha, which now comes with additional options and improved features. Link
