Points of Interest – 9/8/07
Assorted Mushrooms
- Toast.
It’s more than just a part of this complete breakfast.
- Up in “The Daily ‘Shroom,” it was mentioned that a Robotech movie is under way. As it relates to the story, IGN has performed a casting call to look at who else would be good to feature in this film.
Video Power
- So a new operation is in play over on YouTube, as Video Game Take-Out reviews some classic games of yesteryear.
This week’s entry is none other than the uber-awesome Donkey Kong for Game Boy, aka Donkey Kong ’94.
- “I know Kung-Fu!”
Check out what happens when Neo’s martial art of choice goes south of the border in “Kung-Fu Bandito!”
- While the dates shown would say that this isn’t really news any more, it’s the first I remember hearing of it, as Konami now has soundtracks for several of their hit games available.
Among those included are DDR SuperNOVA, classic Contra, classic Castlevania, and a bunch of different Metal Gear and Silent Hill sets, too.
The downside is, not all of them are by CD, so there are MP3s for iTunes, Napster, etc. BUT, at least there are ringtones, too. Admit it, just about anything from Castlevania would be an interesting way to get a call.
- Street Fighter: The Later Years returns with part 4 of the ongoing saga of the World Warriors, out to reclaim their former glory in a world that’s left them behind.
- Games Radar has come across a neat gallery filled with a nice variety of Nintendo-themed images, including a few more obscure ones.
I personally always liked the one of Samus standing atop her ship from Super Metroid.
- I believe I’ve mentioned the Earthbound Anthology project from Starmen.net here before, but now Chris Kohler has received a copy of this show of love and affection, and he describes it a bit for the benefit of us who will never get anything like this.
If this were to all work out in the end… I wonder if something like this would ever convince Capcom to greenlight MegaMan Legends 3?
- It’s too bad that Lair for the PS3 seems to be such a disappointment. That was one title I actually had interest in, until I heard how bad it was.
Of course, since when are reviewers right? That seems to be Sony’s logic, as they’ve posthumously chosen to send those same reviewers a reviewer’s guide, because it seems that they were doing it wrong.
Yeah. This isn’t going to look good for Sony. Everyone’s having a big laugh over this.
- Sony PSP: It’s why finding a date is only getting harder.
