1. Over at Busta Toons’ He-Man and She-Ra blog, there’s quite a few entries added to celebrate the 23rd birthday(as of yesterday) of one of Eternia’s greatest heroes.
2. Over at The Mega Man Network, Jaxel has begun a MMN Podcast(hey, why wasn’t I invited?) to cover some issues prevalent in the Mega Man fandom right now, such as “What should we do about the PSP titles?”, “The differences we have observed in Japanese and American fans,” and “Lack of Engrish Voice acting in ZX.”

   So give it a listen if you’ve got the chance, and tell ‘im what you think.

3. OnNintendo has posted some links to some amusing Nintendo-related bits, including “Kill the Old Man From Zelda,” “Shoot the Dog From Duck Hunt,” “The Ghosts of the NES,” and my favorite, “Mario vs. Carlos Mencia.”
4. Go Nintendo wins for posting some samples from the Gyakuten Saiban(“Phoenix Wright” to us gaijin) orchestra CD.

   Truth be told, these are pretty cool, and Vif you like the games, you’re no doubt going to have a more profound appreciation than someone who doesn’t, or hasn’t played them yet.

   …obviously.

5. Via Go Nintendo, Siliconera has an article up that covers the many BioMetals of Mega Man ZX.

   It’s worth a quick look if you’re interested in the game, but haven’t been following the news of it too closely.

6. IGN takes a look at the Top 25 Simpsons Guest Appearances.

   Stephen Hawking for the win, IMO. Well, after Albert Brooks and Jon Lovitz.

7. Kotaku posts an amusing video featuring Dead Rising‘s Frank West as Mega Man from the start, with some newly-dubbed dialogue added as well.

   Warning, profanity ensues.

   I do like how the helmet has “MegaMan” right on it. Ha, just like real MM merchandise!

8. Wow, “the world’s most convoluted controller” is right.

   If not, then it’s tied with the Atari Jaguar, at least.

9. Awhile back, a thread came up at the GAF forums dedicated to posting images from games that were in development, which ended up looking different by the end.

   Now, again thanks to Press the Buttons, comes word of a new site by the name of Unseen64, dedicated to archiving as many pre-release images of games as possible.

   Seems Nintendo is the most standard fare there, but it is by no means exclusive to that.

   …I still want a Super Mario World that looks more like that one.
