The RipTen/Examiner/MMN Revue for Monday, September 6th
Okay, so I’ve fallen behind on things for obvious reasons. Here’s a quick catch-up post.
From RipTen:
Analyst Defends Xbox LIVE Price Hike as “Incredible Value” – If you need more ESPN and places to use Facebook and Twitter, that is.
Sonic Adventure and More for Xbox LIVE Marketplace in September – Possible Achievements for fishing with morbidly-obese cats? I can’t wait! (Seriously, I can’t wait… for all of it but that.)
THQ Reveals Additional Pre-Order Incentives for WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 – Neat stuff, but the one I like is the Tribute to the Troops arena. Wrestling in front of military men and tanks ought to give it that Street Fighter “Guile” stage feel.
From the Toronto Video Game Examiner: (most of these went up today)
Games shipping the week of August 30th, 2010
Toronto video game deals for the week of September 3rd to 9th, 2010
Bonus video game deals – Best Buy’s online only Labour Day sale – With a “u,” because it’s in Canada.
Games shipping the week of September 6th, 2010
EB Games/GameStop’s NHL 11 hosting launch party tonight with Mike Komisarek – If you’re reading this, then it’s probably too late for you.
Want to sound-off with Kinect? You may have to wait until Spring 2011 – See, Quebec? This is what you get for being so difficult. Though admittedly, this may affect far more Canadians than the ones who just want to leave.
Capcom’s Inafune comes out in praise of Canadian game developers – He just thinks we’re blue because we’re Mega Man fans. Just wait until he actually comes here and experiences the cold winter weather.
Actually, it’s kind of surprising that he gave them Dead Rising instead of Lost Planet, now that I think about it.
Microsoft raising prices for Xbox LIVE Gold memberships, but it could be worse – Believe it or not, Canadians seem to be getting the better end of this deal.
From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:
The Nintendo Download – 8/30/10
DSi prices are dropping on September 12th; might this herald a 3DS Christmas? – If I didn’t know 3DS was coming, I’d be leaping at the DSi XL right now.
New Super Mario All-Stars release coming to Wii… in Japan – Sure, this sounds like old info, but there’s new info here, too. Namely, it is a port. But is there a chance that if it’s released in North America, we could see something more? We examine precedent inside.
The Nintendo Download – 9/06/10 – One game in particular this week yields numerous surprises.
From The Mega Man Network:
Servbot Bobble Budds in Nature – He’s like the Dan Forden of Servbots.
Nintendo Power Readers Rate Their Favorite Mega Man – Who is the Bluest Bomber?
Get Prepped for Mega Man Universe at PAX – PAX has come, PAX has gone, PAX has left us without any of these nifty-keen Mega Man Universe armbands.
Capcom Announces “Rockman Kai Arrange Shitemita” Soundtrack (Updated) – Tracks from the Classic series, minus 8 and 10. Where’s the justice?
Speculation Train: MMU a Kinect/Move Game? – What better way to make “your world, MEGA-FIED” than by actually “Mega-fying” your world?
Mega Man Universe Gameplay Trailer – Four trailers in all actually show what the game looks like. Have you seen them all? (Granted, the fourth is a composite, but it has new music.)
Mega Man Universe Site Updated, Reveals Mega Man 2 Cast – A closer look at who we can expect to see fill out this Universe.
Mega Man Universe Details from PAX – So what’s the deal with “Mega Man,” anyway? Well, for one thing, he may be more than a mere change-of-model from “Rockman”…
Kotobukiya Rockman Gets Boxed Up – This is what you’ll be looking for on the shelves of every import shop you know.
So, How Did “Bad Box Art Mega Man” Wind Up in Universe? – Capcom’s Seth Killian reveals all.
—————————
And as for me, I’m doing better. Not quite 100%, but enough to do stuff again.
