Re-Vamp Update #14

CURRENT STATUS: 30/7/08- 4:35PM GMT: Two Mintues To Go! TR is fighting everything to get all done. Should be good. And it will. TWO MINTUES!!!

Re-Vamp Update #13

CURRENT STATUS: 30/7/08- 4:35PM GMT: Sorry, extra tiny little delay. TR almost destroyed the whole of KN, and so it took him an extra bit of time to do it. 4:40 is the New Time.

Re-Vamp Update #12

CURRENT STATUS: 30/7/08- 4:05PM GMT: Blimey. Is that the time? 20 Minutes left? Oh. Right then, we;re even more go-go-go, even grancko. He's almost completed Target Smash level 4 as Every Character.

Anyway, Gibbon's preview is in, and reads well and all that stuff. TR's News Article is still being written, as we guess it'll take slightly more then 25 Minutes to finish, espechialy since he still has 3 other things to do.

But, basicly, we doubt we'll manage to squeeze many more updates into our packed schedual- Just start your own countdown and remember, KN is Back at 4:25 PM GMT. 20 Mintues then...

P.S. We may have to add a Five-Minute Delay. If we're not back online by 4:30, then you can thump us all with sticks afterwards.

Re-Vamp Update #11

CURRENT STATUS: 30/7/08- 3:45PM: Huh? It was just TEN MINUTES since we last wrote an update? Surely it was far, far, FAR longer ago? Half an hour at least...

OK, it's felt like a long time here, but that's because of how much has got done. TR's installed our final code, Gibbon's began to 'Hand In' his reports from E3, TR's began to write up the News Article for the re-Vamp, Grancko's beatn Classic Mode as Pokémon Trainer...

OK, maybe that last one wasn't so important, but we're just saying, it's been all GO-GO-GO!!!!! here at KN over the last ten minutes, and it's only gonig to get MORE hectic as we get closer. Oh, as for the "Proper" Update you're all after? Well Gibbon's finished his Hands-On report on Animal Crossing: City Folk. Yet another reason to be excited about the new look...

Re-Vamp Update #10

CURRENT STATUS: 30/7/08- 3:35PM: Exactly one hour now. Yes, there's been a 20-Minute Delay. Long story. But anyway, look to the top of KN Now! It's got a little logo next to the name! Isn't it great and stuff?

OK, a proper update on how we're doing- Last-Minute codes being added before our final big hoo-har with all the stuff. Blimey, is it getting exciting. And tense over here at KN Towers. Espechialy for Gibbon, who's being yelled at by TR every couple of seconds. Type you Monkey, TYPE!!!

Re-Vamp Update #9

CURRENT STATUS: 30/7/08- 3:11PM: Roughly just One Hour to go untill the big moment! [Did you here that Gibbon? JUST ONE HOUR!! -TR] Well, as for updates, just the final graphics and Gibbon's work to go, unless we encounter a sudden problem, in which case we'll let you all go!

Re-Vamp Update #8

CURRENT STATUS: 30/7/08- 2:54PM: Most text stuff done but Gibbon's work, (Which is probaly done, but TR's yet to see it, so it doesn't count) and TR is just finishing off the odd code and graphics. Not long now, folks...

Re-Vamp Update #7

CURRENT STATUS: 30/7/08- 2:31PM: Funny, it looks like we've planend these updates- They're pretty much exactly half an hour apart. But nope, it's just a concidense, but anyway.

We're moving onto the "Final Stage" shortly, but are first running a quick 'DeBug' thingy to stop any problems getting through, but we can't guarentee everything, so fi you find anything, report it t us straight away. Erm, when We're Back Online in Two Hours, that is.

Re-Vamp Update #6

CURRENT STATUS: 30/7/08- 2:04PM: Phew! Most updates done! Should be ready a bit earlier then. Say, 4:30? We're putting our all into this, see? Seriously, w're worknig out hearts out. Gibbon's writting up features like mad, and TR's altering graphics, making new ones and enterig lines of code as if he where some sort of crazy chesecake-swallowing hippo, and Grancko's clocking up a new world record for the most time spent on Smash bros. Brawl ever. Surely it'll come to some good...?

Re-Vamp Update #5

CURRENT STATUS: 30/7/08- 1:35PM: Approaching the final stages. Hope the wait isn't getting to bad for everyone now! Far more logs today, and that's a promise. Everything will be covered..

Re-Vamp Update #4

CURRENT STATUS: 30/7/08- 1:02PM: Firstly, we would like to appologise for a short delay. We have failed to reach the Midday Deadline, but we guarentee to be up properly with all new stuff in tact at 5:15 PM GMT today, the 30th July.

Other news? All forum changes sorted, a big suprise has been added, too...

More soon! We promise to keep the updates more frequent now!

Tuesday, July 29, 2008

Re-Vamp Update #3

CURRENT STATUS: 29/7/08-1:05PM: Around 60% of changes have been made. We're flying along, and should be finished on deadline by Midday Tommorow (Or, if you're American, early morning tommorow)

100th Blog Post!

No Re-Vamp news, here, just celelbrating ONE HUNDRED posts on the Knight-Nui Blog!

It started on Febuary 25th 2007, as an extra branch of the KN network beign run by TR. Since then, he had to give up no the blog to focus on the site & YouTube Channel, and has handed it onto Gibbon, who has since continued it, even if he's forgotten on occasions. But anyway, it's our Century!! Whoopie!!

Re-Vamp Update #2

CURRENT STATUS: 28/7/08-12:20PM: All minor changes sorted (Ish) and we're currently begining to alter Graphics and Images. Except the Logo, natch- You'll have to wait for Wednesday for

Re-Vamp Update #1

CURRENT STATUS: All the more minor changes are being made. We're aproaching finishing these, and will be moving onto some bigger things.

All direct from TR.

Forum Re-Vamp

With the Re-Vamp coming on Monday, all progress reports will be posted on the blog straight away. The forum will be back up no Wednesday fully re-vamped and improved.

KNTV Updates

Biggest KNTV Update To Date!!

OK, lately KNTV has been slightly lifeless- Sure, there's the Third Series of our flagship show The Doomy Blastoise running every Saturday, (More on that later...) and the odd Alternate Vortex, Gaming Trailer or Doctor Who clip, but that's it, realy. Well, have we got some suprises in store for you...

Updates...

Blastoise Updates

The first of these is that of the Third Series of TDB will not only be broadcast on Saturdays, but also on Wednesdays too! The latest episode, Electrifing Enoucnter will be up tonight on the KNTV Channel, and then Episode Four (See bellow) is on Wednesday.

Ah, but there's somthing else. Episode Four of Series Three has a shock title that'll only come about WHEN WATCHING THE EPISODE- Yes, outside the actualy video, it's refured to as "Third Wind", but then in it you'll discover it's REAL title... Looks like Wednesday can't come soon enough!

Oh, but most excitingly of all, The Doomy Blastoise will return in a newly-commisioned a Fourth Series at some point in the future! Probaly next year, but we'll see what the future holds...

Charizard Update

Quick one this- The Doomy Charizard has also had a second series commisioned. Again, if you don't mind thinking ahead, it's comnig December '08/January '09, and will have some interesting changes...

Alternate Option Update

Gibbon-Master's upcoming series, Alternate Option, is currently being scripted by himself and Gorrila-Master. Nothnig except the original Press Annoucnment is known to anyone, (Even me!!) but -Whisper it- He is asking if I want to write a couple of episodes. More info soon, but he HAS confirmed to that Alternate Option will run for a total of 23 Episodes when it is realised in the future.

New Shows!!

Pichu Pichu!!

After becomnig a running joke here at KN Towers, Pichu is now getting his own series. Entitled Pichu: Hit & Run, it'll show... Actualy, you can find that out. But we'll assure you it's a far cry from Blastoise's other spin-off, The Doomy Charizard. The series will comprise of Ten episodes, written by Toaroni & Garncko. (As Co-Writers together for each episode, not as each writing seperate episodes)

It's all an Illusion...

Another KNTV show coming out is the brilliant (If we say so ourselfs) show, Illusion. Following the story of Dave Jones as he enters a world of mystery and crime in the world's createst Detective Agency, the series will be written by Toaroni and Gibbon-Master, and will star TR and Gibbon, as well as Grancko, Gorrila and Rip.

More Music!

While it's not exactly new, KN will be realising a new piece of music (Like the Brawl, Who and The World Ends With You music) or a Music Video (See KN's most popular video, the LEGO Music Video, or alternativly the Sonic & Smash Bros. ones.) every Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, plus another odd one throguhout the week.

More...!!

News on the News...

After the launch of the New-Look KN Forums, we'll be realsing a weekly KNTV newsletter whenever updates happen. Otherwise, it'll just be a gathering of all shwos that week.

In addition to this, all updates on KNTV and all videos will be appearing on the blog!

Alternativly...

FIVE new Altenrate Vortex shows are due to Debut today! Whoopie!!

Toaroni, Head of KNTV, Over and out.

Blastoise Is Back!

Blastoise Returns!



Yesterday was our annviersary, and what better way to celelbrate it then with a new for KN's Mascot- The Doomy Blastoise?!

The new series' premier episode -"Press Start To Continue"- will, erm, premier tonight at 5:00 PM-ish, will be written by Toaroni, and will feature an ALL-NEW theme tune, but don't worry- It's not that diffrent, but we're sure you'll love it!

More news as it comes!! TONIGHT!!

11th July- Forum Annviersary!!

The Forum's Annviersary was yesterday. Yay.

E3 Countdown: Day 5

DAY 5.1: TOARONI

TR's back with more wishes he wants to forward to Nintendo...

Pikmin 3



Miyamoto said it himself: "The Wii Remtote is the sort of controller that would work realy well with a game like Pikmin."- And it would. Hence this article being written.

So, what would make a third outing for Captain Olmiar, Louie and the Pikmin even more spechial? Well for starters there would HAVE to be Online Play, surely? And a headset would be ncie so you could discuss plans in an Online Co-Op mode, and pit yourself against another pair of people from somewhere else in the world. The plot could also go on in leaps and bounds- While Pikmin has never been that plot-orientated, it has an opotunaty, and if it seezed it, it would be marvelous.

Now just one thing to say (Or do): *Sounds Pikmin whistle*

E3 Countdown: Day #4

DAY FOUR: GRANCKO

KN's other head -Finaly!- gives a look at why he wants to spend so many horus of his life wandering aimlessly around a village souley populated with animals who are pretty much clones of another.... 

Animal Crossing


Pudgy.


Everyone's been anticipating AC Wii, After some thought It'll  be hard running two towns at once because of the DS Version. But then your favourite bear on Wild World moves out. Then you give up. Now It'll be Easier with the Wii version. There's always been at least 50 new villagers in each game, and this will be the Fourth in the Series.

It's Practically confirmed! The 'Big Game' Is Huge... So is Animal Crossing... It appeals to everyone... So does  Animal Crossing... Great! Its Animal Crossing! It's gonna work REALLY well on Wii!

Now theres just one thing to say: GO K.K. RIDER!

E3 Countdown- Day 3

DAY THREE- NYDER

KN's latest recruit reaches for the stars. But floats there first. Then eats them. Then writes his bit for the countdown...

Kirby Wii (The Crystal Shards Part 2)


And he's out local Metal/Hard-Rock King.

The game I would like to see at E3 is a new Kirby game. Kirby is the most awesome little pink ball you could wish for. I would love the game to be a follow up to Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, which rocked. I believe that if they keep the same “two power ups makes a new power up” mechanic and the same platforming game play, then this could be a real winner. All they would need to do is up the difficultly and this could rival Mario Galaxy as the best Wii Game.

Seeing as Kirby does not really have any quotes (and if he does, my world has been turned around) I’ll have the final word on this article:
“Rock on. God bless and eating your enemies makes you more powerful (unless Kirby lied to me)”.

E3 Countdown: Day #2

Day Two: Gibbon

KN's local monkey and Games Editor (Not to mention Co-Administrator) takes on the universe...

STARFOX


Gibbon's spent his entire life dreaming of one of these.


OK, I guess I have to promise that this is possibly the only time we'll ever say this here on the KN E3 Blog, but honestly: This is my favorate Game Series Of All-Time. For me, Lyat Wars is the single greatest game ever made, and Fox ranks among my Top couple of Game Characters Ever, so it's a little obvious that I'd be after a StarFox game on Wii. But honestly- Just imagien the possibilties. It'd be great.

Firstly, I'll start with online play. Command showed it can be done, so why not do it on a grander scale? Say, 36 Spaceships, (Let's not just limit it to just Arwings- Bring in all sorts of stuff!) all flying around at once. With multiple people using one Wii, a la Mario Kart. And also, let's have very little limits. Let us fly anywhere, ducking and diving like a mad thing.

The main game should be longer then usual, and have a couple of extra segments to break the flying up, but not in Assult style. How about being able to fly the Great Fox on occasions, or maybe the odd Landmaster level. A couple of ground-based levels would be nice, too. Espechialy if we're just in the same place as the huge war, exploring the entire world, pretty much open-ended, but just trying to take down enemy aircrafts. (Or reach a point to take on a Landmaster or somthing.)

Plot-Wise, as mentioned above, how about a Great War breaking out in the Lyat System, and the StarFox team are forcfully reunited after breaking up once more in Command to take on the enemy forces, lead by a classic StarFox villian- Say Andross or Wolf- and so you enter the greatest game since Lyat Wars.

Now all that remains is a name. I'd suggest one of these:

StarFox: Shadow Of Lyat
StarFox: End Of Days
StarFox: The Final Stand
StarFox: Revenge

Just one thing left to say now: DO A BARREL ROLL!

E3 Countdown!

The E3 08 Countdown Is Here!!

Here we are again. It feels like no time (Just a year!) since we where hereing first news of Mario Kart on Wii, and the rather odd Xbox 360 controller with a Keyboard built onto it. Since then, we've seen some of the best games ever come out. And they hope to top it?!

Well, we'll be counting down to E3 "In Style"- A look at what WE want every single day, here on the blog. Plus much more stuff!

DAY ONE: TOARONI


The bosses wishlist! Today, KN's Founder/Editor/Administrator/Webmaster looks at the game that he wants confirmed most, to kick off the countdown...

F-Zero


Come On! Show Me Ya Moves! 

With rules against a Captain N game put into action, and various other people already having reserved there articles, I'm plumping for F-Zero- Nintendo's high-speed racer, starring one of the coolest game charatcers of all-time: Captain "Show Me Ya Moves!" Falcon himself.

So, what could Nintendo add to the latest edition in the series, then? Well, for starters theres online play, which would be essential- Then you've also got the fact that while nota weapon system as hinted by someone who claimed to have got wind of "F-Zero Z" early, some sort of extra element could be added into the game to add more skill then the previous titles had, making it a bit more fun and possibly adding replay value over Mario Kart- Somthing F-Zero has never been able to pluck out of it's Gold Falcon-Emproyded hat before.

Now there's just one thing left to say: "SHOW ME YA MOVES!"

DAY TWO: GIBBON

KN's local monkey and Games Editor (Not to mention Co-Administrator) takes on the universe...

Starfox



Gibbon's spent all his life trying to get a ride...

OK, I guess I have to promise that this is possibly the only time we'll ever say this here on the KN E3 Blog, but honestly: This is my favorate Game Series Of All-Time.

Journey's End

FROM KN NEWS:

Doctor Who Ends...

Good news or bad news? Choose which comes first, and risk creating a new parelell world in the process.

Bad News: Doctor Who's final proper episode for TWO WHOLE YEARS in on saturday, when Steven Moffat takes over from Russell T Davis as head writter and executive producer. Expect every weekend to be far less exciting not only for the rest of this year, but for next year too, when we only get the four episodes....

Good News: It's set to be one of the best stories ever. Simple as that.

So then, what with the story Russell T Davis has created over the last four years coming to a close, and all loose ends being tied up, we'll be celelbrating the Good News, by doing a week of new conent related to Doctor Who, begining two days ago. Which weforgot about. Never mind.

Sorry, as well as clips and Alternate Vortex, we'll have reviews and mroe stuff up! Enjoy!

Oh, and expect around 45 things up- One for every mintue of an average episode! (Although this week's, JOURNEY'S END is a whopping 65 Minutes)

New Stuff!

TR's added quite a bit today in preperatino for the summer. Check it out at:

http://z14.invisionfree.com/KNIGHT_NUI/index.php?showtopic=3604

Friday, July 4, 2008

Warning in advance

TR's plannnig ahead. He's looking at what he'll do when the site goes down- All new features and stuff in preperatino for the launch of the New Site. Expect an official annoucnment soon. But for now, just stick to the blog- He never looks here. Mainly because he knows he'll have to strangle me if he does, and that'll result in less reviewers and stuff.

Untill enxt time,
Gibbon

I'm now updating all the stuff around the sidlines. The poll is closed (With Precisely 0 Votes!!) and the Staff team is out of date, along with more stuff.

See ya,
Gibbon

Oh, Hi

Realised I've missed several months. Never mind. Could be worse.

Wooo!!

I missed our annviersary! That's how thick I am!

But anyway, I've finaly got it to register under my name when I'm on the blog- And soon enough, Grancko & Ghosty will register as seperate people too! Hold tight, I'll get to work on this...
