The Daily ‘Shroom – 1/31/08
InFormers: Robots in the News
- Newsbit: Not much going today, but what there is turns out to be pretty good: Hasbro has included a new toy catalog with Desert Brawl, showing off the Animated toys, and giving them a release date of June.
Assorted Mushrooms
- Newsbit: Think learning fractions in school was a waste of time? This professor agrees.
- Newsbit: According to The Official TMNT Web Site, the “Ninja Tribunal” arc finally begins to air on Fox on February 9th. Happy day! 4Kids even has a teaser.
For those who’ve forgotten, this is the arc that 4Kids wound up pulling out of in the middle so they could give us Fast Forward.
- Newsbit: Hey, Spider-fans! Remember the Free Comic Book Day issue of Spider-man from Marvel? Well now they’re here to sell it to you again, with a few bonuses, for $3.99!
Bleh.
- Newsbit: Speed Racer is back! In LEGO form!
- Newsbit: Sounds like longtime GI Joe scribe Larry Hama may be working on the new movie.
Video Power
- Newsbit: A few new spoilish character and stage reveals for Super Smash Bros. Brawl have leaked out between yesterday’s update and today’s, and you can find the newest in bold.
Two new TV commercials from Japan are now available, too.
And just caught this interesting tidbit about Samus. Not really a spoiler, but more a happy confirmation.
A new video shows one of the obvious hidden character’s not-so obvious Final Smashes.
GameVideos has a ton of new vids.
1up has gotten their copy, and given spoiler-laden hands-on impressions.
Smash Bros. DOJO!! made a special announcement tonight, as well as posting a Game Mode Introduction movie.
Japan is ready. Are you?
- Newsbit: A Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword DS demo via the Wii… in Japan.
Give me a break, when do we get this already? This is a game I might be interested in, but not so much I’ll take the gamble. The Xbox version was brutal, I need some reassurances here.
- Pics: Maybe this is why I haven’t heard back from my contact at Corgi… the 2008 UK Toy Fair is going on, and they’re showing off their upcoming Super Mario goods.
