1. Newsbit: Capcom is holding a vote for what Capcom-themed costumes will be used in We Love Golf.
2. Newsbit: Don’t know the story on these Rockman/Mega Man Zero figures yet, but once we do, you’ll hear more.

   In the meantime… wow, Revoltech? Be awesome if these do turn out to be the real deal.

3. Newsbit: Sigh, Nintendo is saying that any MMO’s are no-go right now.

   So what’s that social networking game that’s been coming up in reports, then?

   And what’s more, what’s with waiting for someone to come up with something that appeals to “5 to 95″? You’re Nintendo! Why not create one if it doesn’t already exist?

4. Rumor: Word from Kotaku is that the Everyone’s Nintendo Channel should be headed for America soon. Here’s hoping!
5. Newsbit: So far, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is leading Japan’s best sellers list with some 820,000 moved in its first week.
6. Newsbit: My favorite Xbox Live Arcade game, Pac-Man Championship Edition, has been nominated for a Game Developers Choice award. Here’s hoping it wins!
7. Newsbit: The first details of LEGO Indiana Jones are here, and one of them is that there will be no Nazis.
8. Newsbit: Twisted Metal is officially on its way to PS3.
9. Pics: Many, many new images of Street Fighter IV, courtesy of Famitsu.
10. Newsbit: …three new Guitar Hero games this year?!
11. Preview: 1up gets to go hands-on with SEGA’s answer to Mario Tennis, SEGA Superstars Tennis.
12. Newsbit: The double-update isn’t dead at the Smash Bros. DOJO!!, at least not yet. Feast your eyes on the Final Smash of Zero Suit Samus and behold new allies and enemies.

    GameTrailers has some fun with the stage builder.

13. Newsbit: Huh. Whoever bought Ninjabread Man must’ve been enough, since they’re now making a sequel.
14. Newsbit: One reader of Kotaku escaped a tornado, only to find himself homeless, and gameless.

    Maybe they’ll start a fundraiser for the guy? I can’t offer much at the moment, but I’d PayPal a few his way.
