What role does realism play in videogames I ask myself. Is this image more interesting? Sometimes.. however, what if a "detailed" hand with 5 fingers is catching a bottle but the fingers pass right through it? Is this still realistic? Rather than to show each meticulous and tiny detail of a finger, it is more important to make the end action look more credible by working on the movement and functionality of the arms and the hand in relation to the object. -- Shigeru Miyamoto

Assorted Mushrooms

  1. Video: WWE has now debuted in HD, and last week, DX had a few comments regarding the transition. (Might have to use IE to view, I did.)

    …I wish I had HD.

  2. Newsbit: Remember the C.O.W. Boys of Moo Mesa? Looks like they’re hitting the comeback trail.

Video Power

  1. Newsbit: Smash Bros. DOJO!! kicks off the week’s updates with the shared Final Smash of Zelda and Sheik, the Light Arrow.

    And inadvertantly(?), they let slip the identities of three unannounced characters in the game.

    Today’s update reveals a very unique addition to the items in the Pokemon known as Manaphy. This should be very interesting indeed…

    Plus, a new chapter of Iwata Asks, this time focused on… well, you figure that one out.

  2. Newsbit: New to Virtual Console this week are Adventures of Lolo 2 for the NES and Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers for the Super NES.

    Has anyone bought all these Street Fighter II downloads yet?

  3. Newsbit: Now is the time to cast your vote for the best Xbox Live Arcade games of the year, with winners to be announced at the Game Developers Conference in February.
  4. Newsbit: The Guitar Hero III Wii replacement discs should be heading out in February.
  5. Rumor: Could Factor 5, developer of Rogue Squadron and Lair (among others) be working on a Kid Icarus game for Wii?

    I really am unsure how I feel about this.

  6. Video: SEGA has revealed a new trailer showing off some of the Superstars in SEGA Superstar Tennis, with much love to the oldschool Sonic fans near the end.
