1. Busta Toons has a neat video clip up of oldschool He-Man and She-Ra helping free some slaves or something.

   Gotta admit, those were my favorite eps, when those two would team up.

2. If you’re not easily offended by… well. Let’s just say that if you’ve got a pretty thick skin, it might be worth a moment to check out Maddox‘s views on the next-gen wars.

   Be warned, this guy doesn’t pull his punches. Language and other obscenities lie within, you have been warned.

   On a related note, Joystiq thinks this could spell trouble for Sony.

   They could be right.

3. Allspark reports that Big Bad Toy Store is taking preorders for the much-anticipated Masterpiece Megatron… but there’s a catch.
4. Nintendo has updated new game-oriented websites for Yoshi’s Island DS, Elite Beat Agents, and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
5. Yet another review of Yoshi’s Island DS, with GameSpot citing the title as “superb” with a 9.1 rating.

   The Good: A wildly diverse platformer with lots of huge levels; all of the different babies? abilities give players plenty to do; crayon graphics and lighthearted music provide a charming atmosphere; unlocking everything is a real challenge, even if finishing the game is easy; improves on the original without mucking anything up.

   The Bad: Some people may not like the cleaned-up graphics; music tends to be understated; no multiplayer.

   IGN is impressed as well, though not as impressed.

6. They also think that WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2007 is “great” at 8.1.
7. IGN reviews DOA Xtreme 2. Basically more of the same, but prettier.

   Except the physics. Oh God, the physics…

8. GameSpy seems to like Zelda: Twilight Princess.

   Go figure.

9. GameDaily presents System Shock: the 10 lamest consoles ever.

   …does 32X count as a console?

10. Not normally the sort of thing I’d post, but I figure it might be helpful.

    When you go shopping for Wii accessories, this is what you look for.

11. onNintendo also reports more details on the Nintendo Power/Zelda promotion.
12. Go Nintendo challenges a recent Joystiq post.
