1. Is spam coming through your website a problem for you? Never fear, as Dr. Neko has the cure for what ails you!
2. Over at Newsarama’s New Joe Fridays, Marvel Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada talks a bit about making comics accessible, among a few other things.
3. In case you’ve missed it here on PMO in the past, Press The Buttons has collected the various Nintendo Sports cartoon short intros from the GameCube era.

   In addition to seeing Wario get trounced in baseball, tennis, and golf, there’s even an outtake reel from Mario Power Tennis that even I didn’t know about. Awesome!

   Can’t get enough of these. If they made a series like this, it’d be like printing money…

4. This week, GameSpy is going to look at their most wanted games of 2007.

   Monday was fighting and strategy, with platformers, sports/racing, music, adventure, and MMO later today.

5. Over at Next Generation, Matt Matthews thinks that the lack of one dominant console could also lead to a dearth in “artistic” games, such as Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and Okami.
6. Is Wario: Master of Disguise not all it’s cracked up to be? Via Go Nintendo, it seems that Gamebrink is less than impressed.

   Which would be nothing less than a damn shame, as Wario games are traditionally great.

7. The Thylus thounds like an interething thort of thubthitute for the thumbthrap…

   …thorry.

8. Via Go Nintendo, GamePro has an interview with Nintendo Prez Reggie Fils Aime.

   GP: Sony appears to be having difficulties moving a large number of PS3s. What, if anything, do you think is to blame for this? A high price? A lack of must-have games?

   Fils-Aime: Happily, that’s a question you’ll have to put to Sony.

   …who will proceed to dodge the question by telling you how well the PS2 is selling. Oh well.

9. Wow, what a country, where you can lose your DS, and have it returned to you.
10. So, would you agree that Phoenix Wright should have the same bonuses as his Japanese counterpart?
11. It is truly the end of times, as sprite comics go mainstream.

    May God have mercy on us all.

12. The future is now… “Wiibraries.”
13. Holy Hell, I remember this commercial for Game Genie.

    How disappointing that it didn’t shoot electricity and stuff, though.

    What I never understood was how people were able to hack codes for it, though. Guess you have to be “1337″ for that kind of stuff.

14. If you’ve been around, then it’s no surprise that I think two of the better interviews in the industry are those with Konami’s IGA and Tecmo’s Itagaki.

    And lucky for me, today 1up has an interview with the latter, speaking of things from the reception of DOAX2 to the Wii and PS3.
