As you may know Super Mario Galaxy 2 the sequel to Wii’s most successful ‘non bundled’ game of all time is due to be released this year.
May 23 US
June 11 Europe
Sometime June Oceania
Super Mario Galaxy 2 features the famous Yoshi and has heaps of new, exciting and strange levels all set in space!
Check out the new trailer and cover released at Nintendo Summit
Nintendo has just announced a new Nintendo Wii. There are no extra features but the design has changed to black instead of white.
There are also three new sets of remones and nunchuk’s.
Black, Pink and Turquoise/Blue!
The Black remote comes with a matte black cover and a black Wii Motion Plus however the other colours come with the original silicone sleve and motion plus.
I would have loved to see a matte colour, like the new DSi however they probably considered that option and decided that glossy was better, for aesthetic and other reasons like heating and possibly ergonomics (gripping).
NB: The original Nintendo Wii is still available for purchase.
The Black Wii will be released on March 11 (at least in Aus and NZ)
The Coloured Accessories are available NOW!
Black Wii and Wii Remote
Colored Wii Remotes with Wii Motion Plus.
New Black Wii Remote with Silicone Sleeve, Wii Motion Plus and Nunchuk.
This beautiful webste is full of games and applications just for your enjoyment. It has been made by a game designer who tends to design simple online games for disney or cartoon network.
There are 57 different games to choose from and are all beautifully developed each game has a different theme to it and tend to involve cute animals or people.
The style of every game is slightly cartoonish and has a slightly asian look to it
A new game is added probably every year or so and each one is original and very enjoyable.
I really do recommend you try and check out this website, I may add a review of some of my favorite games which happen to be ‘Winter Bells’ and ‘Sunny Day Sky’

Thanks for reading this short review. I hope you check it out! Thanks for all the awesome comments.

The Magic Mouse is an amazing and revolutionary device created to do amazing things. Unfortunately out of the box the mouse doesn’t do much and certainly doesn’t have the capabilities of the apples older generation, the Apple Mouse or Mighty Mouse as you may have known it. Accessing the dashboard or invoking expose isn’t possible by clicking the mouse in a certain way, but Magic Prefs makes it possible.
This free application which you can download literally in seconds gives you the freedom to apply and click, tap or swipe to your Magic Mouse so you can activate any feature in the OS!
Today MagicPrefs updated the software fixing a bug that wouldn’t allow you to activate the dashboard. Now its possible which is great! They also added a new feature to the program called Magic Menu, This is like a menu brought on my ether clicking above the Apple Logo or tapping with three fingers and it allows you to do more tasks when working. Personally I dont like to use it because it makes doing these tasks like copying/pasting , clearing the desktop or whatever you choose a bit slower.
If you own a Magic Mouse there is no reason why you shouldnt have this application. Its so handy and really briongs out the capabilities of the magic mouse. This may be the only way to get the software for the mouse, i don’t expect apple to update the mouses software themselves.
The settings i use for the magic mouse currently is:
3 Finger Tap = Expose
3 Finger Click = Reveal Desktop
2 Finger Swipe UP = Dashboard
Thanks for reading!

Finger Foos App Review for iPhone and iPod touch.
Name : Finger Foos
Developer: The Incite Group, LLC
Price: Free
Finger Foos is a multiplayer (only) game for the iPhone, iPod Touch (and iPad?) Simply its a foosball game for two to three players.
Gameplay: To play you move your goalkeeper with your finger across the goal when the ball comes close to them you tap it and swipe (quickly) in the direction you want the ball to go. When playing with two players your opponent will be right in front of you, when playing with three players your opponents will be front left and front right, to put it simply the field is a triangle instead of a square. The first player to 10 points wins the game.
Music: I didn’t notice any sounds when playing but you don’t need any because you’ll be too busy talking to your opponents.
Extra Information: If you planning on travelling i recommend this game. I played it with two of my friends when on a road trip, it didnt last us long before we stopped but it was still fun for the short time we played.
The game is good for what its supposed to do but i found that it was difficult to block goals quickly enough. If i could change the game i would maybe try to zoom it out a bit this would give you more field to play on and more time for you to react, it would be good if there was an indicator to where the ball is on the field because when I played we weren’t exactly sitting in a triangle (i was in the front seat and the friends were in the back of the car). The game is free which is a bonus, there is no reason not to get it and i recommend it if you will have time to kill with some of your iPhone and iPod equipped Buddies!

Thanks for reading. Thanks for all the comments! I didnt know getting popular meant getting spammed though.

Doodle Jump App Review for iPhone and iPod Touch
Firstly, i would really like to thank you for reading and commenting on my blogs.
For a while when i started blogging on TechnoBuffalo I felt like i wasn’t getting the views at all but your encouraging comments made me feel so happy i decided to write another App review.
This is going to be a breif review on the game Doodle Jump!
If any of you know an easier way to transfer screenshots from my iPod to my PC than email i would really appreciate that. Because going through the process of emailing the screenshots and sneding them then saving them to my (slow) PC I will just use screenshots i found on the internet. I am planning on getting a mac soon so when I do upgrade my blogs should become more frequent. Not to put down PC though, it is an old computer.
Anyway!
Name : Doodle Jump
Developer : Lima Sky
Price : .99 USD 1.29 NZD
Doodle jump is a very simple ‘Side Scrolling’ game, well it scrolls upwards, but the 2D game has a nice looking drawn, ‘doodled’, look to it. Doodle Jump is easy to get the hang of, its addictive to play, fun and frustrating at the same time. Doodle jump also has facebook integration like many other games so you can post your scores on your facebook page. You may notice the game is similar to Pocket God.
Gameplay: To play Doodle Jump your cute character will jump off platforms and jump further and further upwards, you tilt you device to move the character while jumping and the aim of the game is to get as high as you can. The higher you are the higher the score and the harder the game gets. Because the only way of getting a higher score is getting higher you arent rewarded for killing your enemies but if you hit one you will die!! If you tap the screen you can shoot bullets, if you tap the left you shoot left and if you tap right you shoot right. Some enemies need to be shot twice most only need one. Jumping on them will also kill any monster instantly and propell you higher. Springs will bounce you higher in the air, trampolines will bounce you higher,propellor hats will lift you in the air breifly and kill enemies you pass. The rocket will lift you into the air for a long amount of time and get you alot of points. Shields will protect you breifly from enemies.
There are also quite a few different platforms you can jump off. The normal is green, Light blue ones will move left - right, dark blue will move up - down Normal blue ones will have arrowns around them, this means you have to move them with your finger and become fixed into placed when you jump on it. White will vanish once you have bounced on them, Brown will break if you jump on it and you will fall through. Orange will turn red and explode if you jump over them so you have to be quick, (they come in clusters).
Controls: The Game is controlled by you tilting the device. The Slight tilts to the left and right will move the character to the left and right. To shoot bullets you tap the screen.
Music: There is no music in this game but a whole bunch of monster noises, boings, explosions, rumbles, and propellors. you can choose to turn sound off and there is no problem with playing your won music.
Extra Information: Doodle jump often has easter eggs in the game which allow you to change the theme or character you play with. Name yourself ‘Ooga’ to be one of the people from Pocket God, this also makes you throw coconuts instead of bullets. Name yourself ‘Boo’ and the whole game changes into a halloween. There is also a snow theme which you switch to in the main menu. This theme is specially for christmas.
Doodle jump is a great game and offers almost everything it can. Sometimes the game can get boring like every other app but thats
I found that with Doodle Jump it was hard to start playing and I felt like it was way too easy to die, I was one of the very first people to buy the game so it was basic to start with but Doodle Jump has now become a really great game, its cheap and well worth a buy. I would also really like to see a custom mode where you could make your own level on facebook and a platform which propels you when you go jump on it or jump through it similar to the game winterbells on ferry halim.

Thanks for reading and all of the really nice comments. Also im having trouble adding the thumbnail for my blogs, or the picture that appears to the left of it when featured on the homepage. So if you know how that would be really helpful.
Happy New Year
3lliott.
Not a prediction, an idea. These are a few of my ideas that the next iPhone update cold possibly have or what i possibly want. Also some iPod Touch ideas too. And just to make it clear, these ideas are not from research or rumors I found on the internet but what i would like to see in the next generation of the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPhone OS.
I will post pictures and annotate them. I will also post some of my drawings if they turn out okay.
Please don’t criticize me for seeming naive or stupid when i post these ideas. They may not be very realistic to you but i have seen some predictions and theories and you too have to admit that some are a bit far fetched.
Also please note that i dont actually have a iPhone myself so some of my ideas may be on the iPhone already. And i do know that some of the software ideas are already available to users if they hack their device. I don’t hack my iPod Touch though.
I do prefer the name iPhone 4 instead of 4G the name gives it a newer feel and to emphasize the fact that its the 4th iPhone. Also iPhone OS 4
Physical Updates:
An OLED screen, it would be considered as an enviromental move by aplple and improve to the design.*
3.2 Megapixel camera.*
Front facing camera hidden in Speaker on front.

Dear: anyone out there on Technobuffalo.
Ive posted 3 blogs since i have signed up and have gotten 3 comments in total
2 comments for my first blog, 0 for my second and 1 for my most recent.
Of course i dont expect to get comments and views straight away so i dont want to seem like im complaining about that.
So I was happy that I have had people reading my blogs but what I don’t understand is if its just been somebody come across my page and giving me encouragement or actually they searched for the review on the iPod App I made or the headphones I just bought and left me a comment. This is because when i searched the name of my blog or tags of my blogs in the search bar i find that it never comes up. It seems like my blog isnt out there but just sittingon my page for somebody to acciedntally stumble across.
I did find my post pop up on google when i typed “Heartbeats by lady gaga review techno”. My blog was titled Lady Gaga Heartbeats Review.
When i searched “Heartbeats by lady gaga review” nothing in the first 2 pages popped up relating to my blog, which i dont mind, but when i search Techno Buffalo for the word “Heartbeats” nothing turns up and i am told.
Sorry. Your search yielded no results. Please search again or go back to previous page.
So why cant i find my own posted blogs on a website i signed up to for people to read them?
I may be doing something wrong but i just want some advise or tips on how to post properly.
It woud also really help if you posted a comment on this blog to let me know if im getting any readers.
Thanks for the encouragement, also is there something I’m doing wrong when searching for my blogs or when tagging them because I do want people who search for app reviews (or other blog topics i write about) to find my blog.

I received my new Heartbeats by Lady Gaga!
They are very cool, in no way do I think they are feminine, the silver ones may be on the girly side and the red
ones were designed for women (lady gaga said herself) so I chose the black and they look great!
First impressions:
The design was a lot shinier than i expected and looking on the computer generated designs of the headphones they seem to look matte black.
Although I would have liked the matte black I think the shine is cool!
The Black is not as black in the pictures of the heartbeats.
They are fingerprint magnets, because of the shiny colour. The earbud looks dirty at times although easy enough to clean and the fingerprints cant be seen when worn.
The earbuds are extremely big in the pictures so don’t be put off by their size, they were actually a lot smaller than i expected.
The special ‘Monster’ cable looks really cool but seems to be twisted so the flat design is blemished, it may just need some twisting and usage so get it straight.
Trhe headphones were presented beautifully in the matte black LADY | GAGA titled box with a black case, shaped like the earbuds, and the Heartbeats with their main feature, the beautiful tiangle shape design, facing up!
I had a pleasant unboxing experience, which is important to some and the magnetic box is a nice touch.
Overall:
I do like the headphones, the earbuds design looks great, the cable is awesome and my music sounds amazing! The case is handy and the overall design captures the look of Lady Gaga.
I didn’t find that the sound blew me away, so don’t expect an amazing experience when you wear them but the sound is still great and much better than the standard apple earbuds and my previous SONY walkman in-ear headphones. Id definitely buy the headphones if you like the design and/or are a fan of Gaga because they are not too expensive. It will be a good buy.
The reason I bought Heartbeats by Lady Gaga was because I lost and couldn’t find my SONY headphones for a long time, I am a big fan of Lady Gaga and I wanted some headphones that could produce the sound I want to hear.
I later found my old headphones in my sisters room when the earbuds were being shipped.

So thats my breif review.
I am not an expert on sound so if I write an actual review please dont expect too much.
This is my third review and I haven’t been posting in a while. It would be great if you commented because i want to see if I am getting the views or not.
Thanks for reading
