Points of Interest – 8/10/07
- This Kefka cosplayer is something else. And he hates you.
Here’s more, and he hates you for watching that, too.
- Continuing the countdown to Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, GameTrailers presents part 3 of 5 of their Metroid Retrospective, and it’s just Prime.
…and Echoes.
- “Better than real baseball,” ScrewAttack.com opens their vault for RBI Baseball for the NES.
Really, though, what isn’t better than real baseball? Especially when there’s crap like this going down?
Seriously, never thought I’d see the day when fans would run the other way from a baseball going into the stands…
- Been playing too much Pokemon? Best to be sure.
And speaking of Pokemon, if you love yours, make sure that you give it a fitting name.
- Are these the stupidest peripherals ever?
While I’m not sure how long a “Piss Screen” race would last (and God help you if you had to “pause”), the “GameBike” Exercise bike doesn’t seem so bad; I never liked real Exercise bikes in the first place because it felt like going nowhere fast.
- Go Nintendo asks, “why isn’t Chibi-Robo getting a chance?”
Nintendo hasn’t shed any light on the issue… who knows, though? Maybe this is a sort of trial run, a first-printing thing? Hard to say. I’m just hoping that I might be able to get my hands on it, since Canadian Wal-Marts aren’t well known for getting Wal-Mart exclusives.
- Still haven’t had enough of Inafune in New York? Destructoid has you covered, with quite the photo gallery.
Sure, they and everyone else who went will probably harp all over Star Force later, but for now, it’s Inafune!
Gotta admit, the cosplayer was a neat touch.
- In related news, the poll at Capcom of Japan’s website has concluded, with Wii as the definite winner. Shame this doesn’t mean much of anything more than gamers wanting Mega Man to appear on the Wii.
- How to tell if the XBox 360 you’re looking at buying has an HDMI port.
Makes sense to me.
- Wow, Left Behind is just the game I’d want to receive if I were stationed in Iraq.
Is this supposed to be a “Jesus loves you anyway” sort of deal?
- Sonic wants to bring you popcorn, but the EVIL Dr. Eggman seeks to thwart his efforts!
Will snacktime goodness prevail and hunger be vanquished, or… say, I wonder what happens if you lose?
- And finally, courtesy of the Mrs., we have the Atari 2600 Label Maker, a program which allows you to turn any image into an Atari 2600 game, like so:
You can find many more examples at Talking Time.
