The Daily ‘Shroom – 12/28/07

InFormers: Robots in the News

  1. Pics: Some new pics depict the difference between the original Sky Lynx, and the encore version. Nothing huge, though.
  2. Newsbit: The TransFormers Collector’s Club has revealed the focus of their Spring special, a Timelines comic set in the Classics/Marvel universe, featuring Slag, Sludge, Siren, and Nightbeat in a new bod!

Video Power

  1. Newsbit: So, at first, Xbox 360 had their Dead Rising and Lost Planet exclusives, and PS3 owners had Devil May Cry 4 and… maybe something else as an exclusive. Then Capcom said they were putting Devil May Cry 4 on Xbox 360, and PS3 owners complained, wanting at least some games coming back their way.

    At first, Capcom said “no dice,” but then later caved with Lost Planet. And now, word is spreading that the PS3 version of Devil May Cry 4 may just be the superior version after all.

  2. Video: Another Virtual Console pick-up for earlier this week is Blades of Steel.
  3. Newsbit: Amazon had a strong holiday, with Wiis going at a rate of 17 per second from the online retailer.
  4. Newsbits: Go Nintendo has some new info on Super Smash Bros. Brawl, including Kirby feeling more like his N64 self, and Rosalina as an Assist Trophy (awesome, Galaxy is in!). Be sure to check the comments for more.

    And in other news from the Smash Bros. DOJO!! itself, we find out about sharing, and a new multipart item, the Dragoon from Kirby Air Ride.

  5. Video/Newsbit: I had a pretty good Christmas when it comes to DVDs, particularly the kind based on video games. I now have pretty much every classic Nintendo cartoon’s DVD set, save for Zelda, thanks to some great friends who helped me get what I was unable to find in Canada.

    Of course, then there’s still Sonic, whose latest set for Sonic Underground has just come out. But honestly, Underground is probably at the bottom of my list…

  6. Newsbit: GameStop has a pretty good preorder bonus for Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword: a sword-shaped stylus, complete with sheath! Pretty slick, if I do say so myself.
  7. Preview: …they’re making a Final Fantasy fighting game? I don’t really play the games, but this seems kind of fun, especially since they’re taking characters from all over the franchise, from the first and second to VIII and IX.

    Let’s get us a Rydia/Tifa/Rinoa/Garnet rumble, shall we?

  8. Newsbit: Midway takes a big step this year, promising fewer, bigger, and better games.

    C’mon, Midway. I know you’ve got the magic there somewhere, let’s see you bring it back.
