The Examiner/MMN Revue for Monday, September 13th
From the Toronto Video Game Examiner:
Games shipping the week of September 13th, 2010 – The heaviest hitters this week? Halo: Reach and Professor Layton and the Unwound Future.
Leaked video shows the Xbox 360 dashboard of the near-future? – And I just got used to the last update, too.
PlayStation on the Move early? – Looks like Best Buy isn’t used to video game hardware having street dates. Or someone isn’t, anyway.
From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:
The Nintendo Download – 9/13/10 – With today marking the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros., it would have been a perfect time to roll out Yoshi’s Island. Alas, they didn’t… nor did they roll out anything else for Virtual Console. But at least there’s a new myNotebook.
Nintendo of Japan officially announces Super Mario Collection Special Pack, shows contents, ad – Looks like a straight port of Super Mario All-Stars. But at least we know what it looks like now.
European celebration of Super Mario’s 25th anniversary includes celebrity ads – I have no idea who any of these people are. But they like Mario (and quite a bit, by the looks of it), so they’re cool by me.
Japanese website for Super Mario Bros. 25th anniversary, plus History 1985-2010 video – Japan has quite a few things going on with the celebration. I wish that Nintendo of America was as on-the-ball as Europe and Japan for the occasion.
Fortunately, they did launch this rather late in the day, and it appears they’re just getting started.
Rumor: Nintendo 3DS release date leaked? – Could we see 3DS before the end of the year? One person who’s purportedly a developer of accessories for the device seems to think so.
From The Mega Man Network:
MM9 Downloadable Content Bundles, New MM10 Avatars Coming to PSN – If you haven’t downloaded these add-ons yet, maybe now is the time.
Rockman Gigamix 3 Arrives in Two Weeks – …in Japan, of course. Really hope that UDON is able to bring Gigamix to North America.
And from MMN’s Twitter:
If it’s Teisel Bonne I just may explode. ~Heat #gettingyourhopesup
