The Daily ‘Shroom – 11/20/07

Assorted Mushrooms

  1. Last night marked the second coming.

    Y2J is back, and I can’t wait to see what he does to mess with Randy Orton.

  2. The Ranger Retrocenter has a sneak peek at 2008′s Power Rangers Jungle Fury toyline, as well as a blurb from the story:

    “For over ten thousand years, a spirit of pure evil, Dai Shi has been locked away and safely guarded by the secretive Kung Fu clan, Pai Zhuq, ?Order of the Claw.? But now, evil has escaped and the Pai Zhuq must select their three top members to fight this evil. Once selected, the three Kung Fu warriors are given the special gift of becoming Power Rangers, and are the Earth?s only hope to stop the army of evil animal spirits from overtaking the human world.”

    Guess someone’s gotta say it… “You seek to take over the Earth… now, we must KUNG-FU FIGHT!”

    Do like the outfits this time around, though.

  3. He-Man.Org has an update regarding the 2002 Mike Young cartoon series, with word that it’s showing up in Navarre‘s search engine, set for a release on February 19, 2008 and a MSRP of $26.98.
  4. Newsarama has been to the premiere of Futurama: Bender’s Big Score, to be released on DVD later this month, and here’s some stuff that was said.
  5. Like clockwork, GameSpite gives us the lowdown on what’s new this week in anime, DVD, and games.

Video Power

  1. Smash Bros. DOJO!! brings us three updates so far this week: the Ice Climbers’ Final Smash, Training mode, and the Smart Bomb from Star Fox.
  2. Sony’s latest attempt to woo developers? Cheaper dev kits.
  3. Xbox and Doritos’ “Unlock Xbox” contest now has a winner.
  4. New Virtual Console games to celebrate 1 year of Wii and… well, Virtual Console!

    Sonic 3D Blast hits the Genesis, and was an ok title in its day, though not the best way for the ‘hog to leave the 16-bit platform, nor enter 32-bit.

    Super Air Zonk is the sequel to Air Zonk, starring the descendent of caveboy Bonk of the TurboGrafx-16, now in shiny CD form.

    And finally, Mario and Luigi appear as a pair of homewreckers of a different kind in Wrecking Crew, an old favorite from the NES days that I’d like to get my hands on.

    So, what’s good to buy, and what’s better to let lie? Toastyfrog rounds up the answers. That is, assuming that when you click the link, the page looks like something more than what a hacker threw up, as it does for me right now.

  5. Halo 3 fans who’ve finished the fight now have something to look forward to… map packs, coming in December!

    …I wish Super Mario Galaxy was getting new maps.

  6. The Rabbid Invasion draws near… and you can check out the opening cinematic and several gameplay videos via GameTrailers.

    And WiiFolders has tons of unlockable costumes!

  7. Remember when Super Paper Mario came out in Europe, with that nasty glich?

    Good news: replacement copies are here! Er, there.

  8. Looks like K-Mart’s a good place to get a limited edition DS bundle (featuring Zelda and Nintendogs).

    Or, go to Best Buy and get them with Over the Hedge and a starter pack.

  9. Plus, Best Buy is dropping some titles to $20. Can’t speak for bowling and fishing, but Resident Evil 4 and Sonic and the Secret Rings are well worth that price.
  10. Seems that Square-Enix still has no idea when Dragon Quest IX will be released.
  11. Another report of Best Buy scamming customers. Well, in a manner of speaking. Not like they’re charging more or forcing you to buy, just lying like bitches in heat about how much stock they have. Sneaky, conniving, yes, but bad? Guess that’s for the courts to decide. Remember: just because they have it, doesn’t mean you have to buy it.
  12. If you’re down with buyin’ Guitar Hero III, then I’ve got two words for ya’: WATCH OUT!!
