InFormers: Robots in the News

1. Newsbit: Coming soon to a Toys R Us near you: exclusives Wingblade and Jetstorm, based on Cybertron molds Wingsaber and Jetfire, respectively, and now featuring a military motiff.
2. Newsbit: But the REALLY good news? A Robot Heroes Dispensor toy is on the way! Shame he won’t be able to transform, though. Maybe soon…

   He’ll be squaring off against Ironhide, with a few other pairings finding their way into the wave as well.

3. Newsbit: Good news for those who’ve held out on buying a game based on TransFormers: The Movie: the price just dropped. Plus, Xbox Live is now letting you get all the unlockables unlocked for one fee.

Assorted Mushrooms

1. Newsbit: This diorama of Blade fighting Dracula is pretty slick.

Video Power

1. Newsbit: Smash Bros. DOJO!! finishes out the week with Pikmin & Olimar’s Special Moves.

   And elsewhere, Zelda’s Final Smash is revealed, along with another anticipated Special Move…

2. Newsbit: And wow… that’s quite a few EGM covers there for Super Smash Bros.… er, Brawk?

   …put me down for a Mario, I guess?

3. Newsbit: The Wii has made headlines in helping victims recover from disabling incidents, and now, Microsoft wants in on the action. Of course, it’s more a means of entertainment than assisting in recovery, but just the same…
4. Pics: New screens of Street Fighter IV! 25 of them, in fact.
5. Newsbit: Some big news today, as Nintendo Power has broken the first news and pics of the BioWare Sonic RPG since it was first announced.
6. Newsbit: So Goldeneye on Xbox Live? Not happening. The reason why?

   Money, money, yeah-yeah!

7. Newsbit: Good news for Metal Gear fans, as the latest title is almost ready.

   Cooler still is that the game will have pausable cut scenes. It’s about damn time.

   And on a related note… WRONG. SO WRONG.

8. Newsbit: Also coming sooner than expected is Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, which arrives on February 12.
9. Newsbit: PlayStation 3: now cheaper to make than ever.
10. Newsbit: A UK retailer takes orders for Wiis, then runs with the moneys.

    But is it fair to blame Reggie on this one? I thought the UK had their own monkeys in the truck to run this stuff over there?

11. Newsbit: Well damn, I missed out.

    20 bucks for Brawl, that obviously wasn’t going to stick. But I do wonder what they do about the people who preordered when it hit?

    Yeah, you guessed it: they cancel them.

12. Video: New trailer for No More Heroes. In light of recent developments, it’s a shame it has to be Ubisoft releasing it here. But I’d still get it, just to support the developers.
13. Video: A new trailer for Street Fighter IV, though it seems mostly like a splice of the original teaser and 1up’s in-game footage. The music takes me back, though.
14. Newsbit: Another reviewer has left GameSpot, though it remains unknown if it’s related to Gerstmann or not.
15. Newsbit: Son of a whore, I hope that this isn’t true. I still need to upgrade to a DS Lite, and the Crimson/Black one was just the one I wanted!
16. Newsbit: Want to see the new Bionic Commando swing onto the Wii? Well, there’s still a chance! Now, if only a good MegaMan Legends 3 movement would get started…
17. Newsbit: Father ruins boy’s game, boy tries to murder his father. Makes perfect sense to me.

    Sigh.

18. Newsbit: An official Wii lightsaber attachment? Not gonna happen.
