1. I admit it, this made me laugh.

   On a related note, IGN UK conducted an interview with SEGA and Nintendo Europe staff regarding Sonic & Mario.

   Um, I know there’s at least one part that’s probably going to upset a lot of people, even though I’m uncertain how reliable this is. At least GameSpot’s interview with the US side keeps a more optimistic look.

   Love that last exchange, too.

   Over Joystiq’s way, they look into SEGA’s talk of revitalizing the Sonic franchise part of which includes… releasing no new games for awhile? Huh?

   Then again, “release” doesn’t necessarily mean “develop.”

2. Seems that the Green Machine is set to debut in Japan, complete with new theme song.
3. Hmm, I wonder what this could mean…

Thanks to shortpacked for that one.

4. The most powerful art show in the universe, and I didn’t know a damn thing about it until now.
5. For the record, I heard that line from 300 one time too many, and my brain forced me to make this.

   Now I can rest.

6. So, now that the movie TMNT is out and kickin’ shell at the box office, what are director Kevin Munroe’s thoughts?

   He speaks a little about the upcoming Gatchaman project as well.

7. BWTF.com reviews Transformers Ghosts of Yesterday, the prequel novel to the upcoming TransFormers film.

   Sounds good, but not great, for the price.

8. ScrewAttack.com’s Video Game Vault takes a look back at Inspector Gadget for the PlayStation.
9. I just couldn’t resist.

   Behold, the basic story premise for Super Paper Mario in action!

   And if you need more for your Paper fix in the meantime, check out Paper Bowser World, as brought to my attention by Frash.

10. A GameSpot chat with Solid Snake’s voice actor, David Hayter, reveals some interesting tidbits regarding the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4.
11. More and more and more of Gyakuten Saiban 4.

    Not too much to speak of there, except for a nice view of the boxart depicting Ema, along with the rest.

12. If egg didn’t write this, then it could only have been his soul mate.
13. Know how the PlayStation 3 logo uses the same font as the Spider-man movie logos?

    Thank Kutaragi.

    Someone should really trick out a PS3 with chrome webs, like the black costume from the next movie…

14. Joystiq asks, “are random battles more annoying than useful?”

    To which I respond with a resounding “YES!”

    I much prefer the way it is in Mario RPGs, or even Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.

15. Super Mario Bros. 2! In percussion!
16. 1up looks at 15 of the worst box covers ever.

    What, again? Hasn’t this been done to DEATH? How about spicing it up a bit?

    I think that from now on, these features should only be done on an annual or semi-annual basis. That is to say, something like “the worst game boxes of the year,” rather than all-time.

    I haven’t read this yet, just about to. Betting Phalanx and at least one Mega Man box (most likely the first) are on there.

    Oh well, it’s by Sharkey, so it ought to be a fun read, even if the subject is more worn-out than my coat.
