Points of Interest – 7/31/07
- Sometimes you just gotta get away for a bit. And what better place to try than Hotel Fabuloso? Untalkative Bunny takes a shot at the suite life, and brings some friends with…
- I don’t give a crap about football, but even I have to admit that this was awesome.
- Thanks to
zaphy for pointing this out to me: a 1,500+ inmate rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video. - The Ranger Retrocenter linked to a site I’ve never heard of, probably good for the anti-Ranger fans out there: The RangerBitch, who seems to dislike a lot of what’s going on lately…
- Atomic Fire has found something interesting on Capcom of Japan’s Rockman 20th Anniversary page: a movie that details the history of the Blue Bomber in just under six minutes.
It’s strange how a series can be so celebrated by its parenting company, and yet, still feel like their best effort isn’t put into it…
Speaking of which, looks like Mielke at 1up finally posted his interview.
Long story short: no Legends 3 yet. Maybe when he’s the Supreme Commander of Capcom and can make any game he wants.
You can bet Miyamoto doesn’t put up with this crap.
- Meanwhile, Cubed? has an interview with Takeshi Horinouchi, the Line Producer of Mega Man ZX about that game, Advent, and Mega Man on the Wii.
- GameSpot has reviewed Super Contra, and all-in-all, it sounds good to me, though it doesn’t make note of the issues that plagued XBox Live Arcade’s Contra two-player mode. One can take that to mean they don’t exist here, though I myself remain a little wary at the moment.
IGN, they paint a less vivid picture of the overall package, moreso on the port than of the original game itself, and don’t have kind words for the online multiplayer, either.
- As Metroid Prime 3: Corruption stands poised to close out the controversial trilogy, one must ask: where does the Metroid franchise go from here?
- Now this is a unique treat.
Charles Martinet first voiced Mario many years ago, not in Super Mario 64, but in a relatively obscure title known as Mario’s Game Gallery. I myself have never seen this game for myself, nor been able to hear the earliest Martinet voicing.
Now, thanks to the magic of YouTube, we can hear it for ourselves.
It’s actually kind of amusing, while the “player” voice is kind of… well, see for yourself.
The end amuses me most, because it reminds me of this bit from The Simpsons.
- Want a Wii? Try this crane game in Jersey.
- Turns out Ken Penders was at SDCC to promote the newly-released Sonic the Hedgehog “SatAM” DVD set.
Kotaku got some stuff wrong, such as Mr. Penders’ status with the comic, but some vigilant commenters set the record straight.
- THIS is what this oven of an apartment needs– a Mario ceiling fan!
