Points of Interest – 3/28/07
- Newsarama goes behind the scenes with Marvel Spider-man artist Ron Garney about why the Web Slinger is back in black (besides being a nice tie-in to the movie and all).
- Wario, Wario… what have they done to you, Wario?
I’m inclined to agree here, though. While I don’t mind the odd bit of toilet humor, I think Wario can do just fine without it.
- Over at Racketboy’s crib, we find that he’s established a delightful Nintendo DS Wish List, featuring the likes of Snatcher/Policenauts, Mario, a Wario Land collection, and Metroid 2.
All good stuff.
- GameSpot looks over Konami Classics Series: Arcade Hits for the Nintendo DS. Is it really a hit? Or a miss?
- If you’re curious as to how the GBA version of the movie-based TMNT game plays, check out this video.
Really, though, that vid only touches the tip of the iceberg.
- Super Paper Mario = “shaping up nicely”, according to GameSpy.
- Brian Hastings of Insomniac Games (Ratchet & Clank, Resistance: Fall of Man, and more) thinks that the PS3 will stand tall at the end of this generation. Click and see why.
- Super Mario Bros., LEGOland style! And I don’t mean those computer-manipulated sprite animations, either.
- Stephen Colbert: Leader of a Revolution.
- Newspapers: No laughing matters.

2. I don’t mind most of that, but I’m still wondering when it became okay for poo to be in cartoons everywhere. I mean, back when I used to watch Ren & Stimpy on TV, they would have fart clouds but never outright poo (dunno about later episodes, though). But nowadays it seems more and more common (even if it’s cutesy and Korean, Ragnarok Online had poo hats) whereas it used to be something more taboo and a bit too “edgy.”
And the thing is, it’s not even bothering me as much now as it might’ve a couple years ago. Are we just getting desensitized?
3. Snatcher was the awesomest. I would love to see that remade someday, on any system!
