1) Reggie’s obviously not a fan of the “Wii60″ movement, as he’d rather have someone buy LOTS of his product than his product and someone else’s, according to his interview with USA Today.

It does make sense to say that, from a business standpoint, and in fairness, I think Peter Moore was trying to slam his #1 competitor in Sony when he began the whole thing, rather than try to promote Nintendo. Simple math tells you that for the price of a PS3, you can get a 360 and a Wii, possibly having to only spend 50 bucks more to have both.

I’m sure that now, we’ll have Moore say he’d rather people invest in 360s and stuff, too(I’m sure he’s thought so all along). I mean, I guess it is an honest preference.

Still, Reggie…

Oh, and here I thought Wii online play was already confirmed as free. My bad.

2) Reissue Soundwave? The one who met his wife in a Christian chatroom?

Sold. If the price isn’t absurd.

3) New Sonic Rivals screens, featuring Silver the Hedgehog.

(he’s the big white thing in some of the screens)

4) Huh, so SEGA is “reviving vintage brands” through other companies, I guess some would argue because they can’t manage the job by themselves. Golden Axe appears to be one such brand under Secret Level’s care, though the others seem to be mysteries.

5) XBox looking at a new controller to improve shooters? And the possible return of trackballs as well?

Be neat if the two coincide, and SEGA can finally release a home port of their arcade “SegaSonic the Hedgehog.”

6) Does this mean that the Penny Arcade creations didn’t work?

—–

7) Oh sweet Jesus, I hope this is true.

I will hug Reggie and cry on Mario’s shoulder if this is true.

8) Then I could Wii my way to health.

9) o/~ Doo-doo-doo… in spoil he did crawl… doo-doo-doo… a super suit did fall… o/~

10) Star Fox Command video preview. Hope it’s as good as Star Fox 2.

I’m unsure about “up is up and down is down,” however.

11) I’ve posted this before, but it bears repeating. A Tetris comedy act from Japan.

12) Metal Gear Solid 2 design secrets translated.

- MGS2 was originally going to be called “Metal Gear Solid III,” for extra confusion and symbolism.

Hah, I love it.

- Raiden was designed partially as “a character in which women can more easily empathize.”

Habeeb it.

13) Why the next gen sucks, in a nutshell.

Bad enough you only really get to see a marked improvement on HD TVs, but that games are coming out unplayable on standard? Oy. Remind me to thank Nintendo again later.

—–

14) Hmm, maybe this whole DS homebrew thing bears another look…

—–

15) Wait, so what’s so positive about this, now?

—–

16) Love Animal Crossing? Then HUG Animal Crossing!

—–

17) IT BURNS! Oh God, why did I click that link?!

—–

18) Ever played Castlevania: Bloodlines for the SEGA Genesis? It might be worth a look, hmm?

—–

19) Awesome. A site with screens of old games from when they were still in development.

Raccoon Mario in Super Mario World? And can that really be Samus?

—–

20) An addendum to yesterday, when I posted about these. There are more than 7 in the collection, including a Princess Peach/Toadstool figure.

—–

21) Will Blu-Ray sink Sony? And what happens(to everyone) if the PS3 fails?

—–

22) Geometry Wars creators ask for people to use their talents for good, not evil.

—–

23) More on Dead Rising, as it seems to be breaking some 360s now. Geeze.
