Assorted Mushrooms

Video Power

1. Pics: Remember yesterday’s pics of Corgi’s new Super Mario toys? Turns out that’s not all they have there… check out their Master Collector Force FX Master Sword, plus Halo 3.

   McFarlane has some of the Halo 3 stuff going on, too.

2. Newsbit: Oh yay, the new Rockman DASH (aka MegaMan Legends) game is out now. Yippee.

   Yeah, it’s the cellphone one, if you couldn’t tell. Would it be too much to beg for a DS port?

3. Newsbit: Valve says more Portal is on the way. Meanwhile, I still need to play the first.

   Speaking of which, there should be some downloadable content coming… eventually. But Team Fortress 2 gets some sooner.

4. Newsbit: And for Wii fans who like to rock out, great news, as Rock Band is officially en route.

   And just when these guys decided to make their move.

5. Newsbit: Now here’s what I like to see. EA’s announced a new boxing game, but it’s not one of those Fight Night affairs, oh no. Their new Facebreaker franchise is more arcade styled, more reminiscient of Punch-Out!!. Should be interesting… but why the hell isn’t this on Wii? I’m not especially convinced the cartoony graphics couldn’t be done in a convincing manner.
6. Newsbit: Do 90 percent of DS owners in the US really pirate games? Well, I don’t… but then, I’m in Canada anyway.
7. Newsbit: I’m only linking to this story about the GRAW 2 downloads for the picture.
8. Newsbit: Looks like the delay and some beta feedback are doing good things for Sony’s Home.
9. Various: GameSpy tells what they think of Super Smash Bros. Brawl stage creator.

   Meanwhile, Go Nintendo has a rumor as to what caused the last delay, one that may disappoint a lot of people if true.

   GameTrailers has a ton of user-created videos, and plenty of spoilers within.

   And Smash Bros. DOJO!! has just revealed a new hidden character that many will be happy to see. It also highlights the difference between this one and another character.

   The site’s frontpage has a new look, too.

   As for the shortage, shouldn’t be a problem for too long.

   Kotaku, meanwhile, has a rumor about Capcom’s general absence in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. If true… ouch. Isn’t that punishing us more than them?
