As you all probably know by now, the Koopa Kids (or Koopalings) are finally back in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Here is footage that I found of the boss fight with Larry Koopa. A couple of videos of the fight with Morton Koopa Jr. quickly surfaced during E3, but this is the first one I have seen of Larry.

PC | Zynga stocks up on Big Huge cofounder
Independent developer hires Rise of Nations lead designer Brian Reynolds to lead development on “social strategy games.” Curt Schilling’s 38 Studios extended a lifeline to Big Huge Games last month, after the one-time THQ subsidiary found itself facing closure . And while 38 Studios’ acquisition saved the studio, it came at the cost of one its most high-profile cofounders, Brian Reynolds. Brian Reynolds However, with a resume like Reynolds’–which includes design work on the likes of Firaxis’ Civilization II and Alpha Centauri , as well as Big Huge’s Rise of Nations –unemployment typically isn’t an issue. Today, social game outfit Zynga announced that Reynolds has been named as the company’s new chief designer. Reynolds will head up Zynga’s new East Coast operations, as well as lead the product development team and create “social strategy” games. According to today’s announcement, the Baltimore, Maryland-based studio will initially comprise 12 to 15 employees and focus on social network-oriented games designed for platforms, such as Facebook. It appears as if Reynolds’ departure from Big Huge was an amicable one. Commenting on today’s announcement, a 38 Studios representative told GameSpot, “38 Studios highly values the vision and contributions of Brian to the portfolio of Big Huge Games products and the video game industry in general. The company wishes him great success in his new endeavor.” Read and Post Comments | Get the full article at GameSpot ” PC | Zynga stocks up on Big Huge cofounder ” was posted by Tom Magrino on Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:46:22 -0700

Yesterday, Zip.ca announced a partnership with Sonic Solutions to become the first online streaming film and TV show rental service in Canada. Speaking with Joystiq, Zip.ca CEO Curt Millar said his company “would love” to bring the service to Canadian video game consoles — similar to the Netflix streaming service currently available on Xbox 360’s in the United States — but no agreements are in place with any of the three game console manufacturers. “Our whole strategy on this is to be available on every platform that we can be available on,” Millar said. “We believe for consumer adoption to be high, you need to have it so that the consumer doesn’t have to worry about how it works. It should just work on everything.” According to Millar, partnering with an American company — such as Sonic Solutions — allows Zip.ca to put forth “a better presentation” when looking to secure agreements with partners, like the major console makers. Streaming content to consoles isn’t exactly new to Zip.ca’s partner. Sonic Solutions recently announced it would begin offering movies from its catalog to Fujisoft’s streaming Wii video service, Minna no Theater Wii , in Japan through its Roxio CinemaNow platform.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a pretty fun fighting game to play with friends, right? WRONG . It’s actually an unbalanced mess. At least, that’s what a group of Smash Boards members seems to believe, seemingly with more conviction than we’ve ever had for pretty much anything . It’s important enough that they decided to patch the game’s code to change specific gameplay elements. “Balanced Brawl” has three goals, as stated by the coders: first, to remove “infinites” and “inescapable lockdowns” (simple, unblockable combos that add more than 50% damage), increase overall character balance, and increase stage viability. You can see examples of the kind of minute tweaking done to the characters in the chart above, and you can read way, way more about each change in the Smash Boards thread. It’s a pretty impressive testament to just how much time has been spent thinking about Brawl .

This is, necessarily, your final reminder : today is the last day of the “year” for Club Nintendo Gold or Platinum status in North America, which means that today is the last day for you to enter points toward whatever the exclusive free gift is going to be. We don’t dare hope for the kind of awesomeness seen in Japan’s Platinum rewards, but we want free things. If you aren’t yet at 300 coins (for Gold) or 600 coins (for Platinum), and you’ve got more games to register, get to it right now! If you’ve been thinking of picking up Punch-Out!! or something this week, you should probably do it today! Conversely, if you’re at 600 now and you have more stuff to register, wait until tomorrow so it counts toward next year’s total! If you’re not sure about the eligibility of an older (pre-Club Nintendo) game and don’t want to waste time registering it, consult the list of eligible games in the “Product Registration” area of the Club Nintendo FAQ .

Sony may be working on a PSP phone, Halo: Reach Natal rumors, and could Transformers 2 top the Dark Knight?
In a world of increasingly virtual human interactions, the idea of money is becoming more fluid than authorities find comfortable. China has officially outlawed the practice of exchanging virtual currency for real goods , and minors are no longer able to buy the virtual cash. These rules will help the government control trade in China, but they could also impact the huge gold-farming industry that exists in the country. Click here to read the rest of this article

Yesterday there was a veritable flood of new information about StarCraft 2 , including the news that there may not be the ability to play multiplayer via a LAN. Now, it’s possible that feature may be added between now and release, or Blizzard has something else up its sleeve to make up for its lack, because the response online so far has not been kind. Still, we’re in the middle of quite a large backlash when it comes to StarCraft 2 . So I ask you, dear readers, have you soured on the game yet? Are you re-thinking your decision to buy? Let’s find out. Click here to read the rest of this article
