The Daily ‘Shroom – 2/5/08
InFormers: Robots in the News
- Newsbit: Movie Bumblebee is about to get busted.
- Pic: A little promotional artwork for All Hail Megatron.
- Pics: And finally, a close-up of Premium Movie Prime’s head, plus the back-of-the-box images for himself and Premium Megatron.
Assorted Mushrooms
- Pic: Newsarama has the first piece of DC art by former Ultimate Spider-man artist Mark Bagley.
- Video: During the Super Bowl came a new trailer for the Iron Man movie.
- Newsbit: Once again, GameSpite gives us the week’s bounty in DVD releases.
- Rumor: Seems there’s a little rumor going ’round that Venom could get a movie spin-off from his old pal, Spider-man.
Video Power
- Newsbit: The GameSpot/Gerstmann Saga continues trudging on.
- Newsbit: Tonight, the Smash Bros. DOJO!! brings us the stage many have awaited and many have dreaded…
In addition, it reveals a return character of sorts.
GameTrailers has plenty of new vids, including the long-awaited Sonic vs. Mario.
GameSpot has many videos now as well.
GameVideos shows off the characters’ taunts.
CVG has the ABC’s of Smash Bros.
And since I keep seeing this pop up, I guess it bears mentioning that if you smoke, you might have a little trouble playing the game.
- Newsbit: GameTap brings a few games to the fore which I wouldn’t mind checking out. I lack Mega Man Anniversary Collection, so Mega Man: The Power Battle would be fun. Plus Rampage, Bubble Bobble, and Bust-a-Move, among others.
- Newsbit: GameSpite loads up the newest games on shelves this week.
- Newsbit: Some new DLC for Rock Band hits this week.
- Newsbit: Rumor has it that the Japanese and European blood-free versions of No More Heroes actually runs faster and smoother than its gorier US counterpart. “[SUDA51] believes that the Japanese / European version plays faster and smoother than the American version and says he feels it is more enjoyable to play.”
- Newsbit: God of War creator and Banana Philosopher David Jaffe is going to deliver a keynote for aspiring game developers at the 2008 GDC.
- Newsbit: Today’s Virtual Console releases are Operation Wolf for the NES, and Columns III: Revenge of Columns for the SEGA Genesis.
Can’t say that I’m pleased with what seems like no effort to make the former work with the Wii Zapper, though. Unless they tried and couldn’t make it work, for some reason. In which case, I suggest it bodes poorly for the likes of Duck Hunt, Wild Gunman, Hogan’s Alley, Yoshi’s Safari, and others.
- Rumor: A little further thought on that rumor that says Nintendo snubbed Capcom over Resident Evil 4, proposing that if true, it may go even deeper than that.
- Newsbit: Ah, I remember Populous back on the Super NES. Was never that good at it, but it was fun to watch others play. Now, it’s coming to the DS, and has a nift preorder bonus.
