InFormers: Robots in the News

1. Newsbit: The Japanese Encore Jazz figure is coming, and will not only get a new face (due to mold degradation of the old), but a companion as well, in the form of… Laserbeak?!
2. Pics: New pics of an assortment of Japanese TransFormers, including Trans-Scanning, Encore, Revoltech, Henkei (Classics), and more.
3. Newsbit: What better TransFormer to receive a bust than the bustiest one of all?

   …ok, that really just doesn’t feel right.

Assorted Mushrooms

1. Newsbit: The New Kids on the Block are back? But… but they aren’t new… or kids… and they were on the block 20 years ago!

   Not that I really care, but can you really call it a comeback?

2. Newsbit: GameSpite once more brings us this week’s new releases in DVD releases and those for video games.
3. Newsbit: “1,500 Mexicans Needed for Dragonball Flick”

   Um…

Video Power

1. Newsbit: The Smash Bros. DOJO!! starts off this week’s updates with more a whimper than a bang, as Sakurai goes back over the different modes contained in the Vault.

   Tonight, we get the starting lineup of songs.

   And for the really curious who can’t wait, here’s the opening to Brawl, which reveals at least two unannounced characters.

   Me? Yeah, I watched. As I figured that any hidden characters revealed here would be known to me long before I ever got to unlock them.

   More videos reveal “Cooking Navi Song Gameplay”, an Assist Trophy montage, sticker gameplay, a trophy collection montage, and Smash Ball gameplay.

   And Go Nintendo has more, with the starting roster and stages, plus some spoilers, though “nothing major.” They also have a link to the American manual, character confirmations, DK’s story, Olimar Kirby, and the character select screen.

2. Newsbit: Nintendo’s strongest, the million-sellers, have been revealed.
3. Newsbit: Please, Nintendo, for the love of God, don’t bring back snaking for Mario Kart Wii. Why ruin a perfectly good experience?

   At least Boo might make up for it… wonder what that means for the Boo item, though?

4. Newsbit: GameSpot’s credibility has been a bit… rough, as of late. Could a new editor-in-chief turn things around, or will his work be marred by the transgressions which came before him?
5. Newsbit: Who ever thought the day would come when we would see Jack Thompson defending a game? All while declaring war on another, no less.
6. Newsbit: Fox’s “sex”pert Cooper Lawrence tries to atone for her misdeeds, but does anyone care? Also: Sock puppet expressions.
7. Newsbit: In case you’ve forgotten, here’s the rest of the crap surrounding Mass Effect and Fox to date.
8. Newsbit: If HD-DVD should falter, what will Microsoft do? As it happens, they’ve been looking at Blu-ray all along.
9. Newsbit: Speaking of which, Blu-ray lasers are becoming cheaper to produce– could a price drop result?
10. Newsbit/Video: Added to Virtual Console this week: 1080 Snowboarding. Wow, that’s it?
11. Newsbit: From Game|Daily, it sounds like Animal Crossing and Kirby are Wii-bound this year.
