Almost Too Awesome to Eat

What would be cooler than getting one of these yummy Nintendo delights on your Birthday/Wedding?



I wonder if the Wiimote is cake too?
A tad think for a DS lite by still majorly cool.
Love the little Link, and Tetra on the top.
Believe it or not, but this appears to be a wedding cake, including a Mario, and Peach cake toppers.
Well the cake it self isn't really Nintendoish, I love how they used little Miis as their toppers.



I have some more, and I would gladdy post them here if you leave a post, also if you know who these little bundles of talent are by leave a line, and I'll gladdy credit. If you have a Mario Cake of your own, send me an email. :D

Okami Cover Artwork Redemption

Owners of Okami for the Wii had a little problem with the artwork on the front cover of the box, a highly visible IGN watermark right in the middle of the package, Capcom had decided to fix their little mistake by issuing replacement covers for all those who request them. Too bad they aren't really coming clean to the reason why Okami needs some new artwork, other than "To better reflect the artistic nature of the game".

You can choose from the original minus the watermark, or two others without the regular wii template. The email email confirmation says they should be shipped in the next couple of weeks. The art work on the replacement boxes are so beautiful you might want to pick up it even if you don't want to cover up their little mistake. To those who haven't got the game, it's absolutely brilliant, and you really should pick the game up, your won't regret it.
