Uh-oh.
Anyway, let’s just get on with it.
- “M.E.G.A. System Online…”
For those who do not yet have, or are still unsure about Mega Man ZX, GameTrailers has added a couple of videos, including some gameplay and a video of the intro which shows how the subbing is done for the anime sequences.
- In addition, GameTrailers also has a horrifying new Japanese trailer, which features the most terrifying sight of all… Tingle mackin’ it with the ladies! Yikes!
For some reason, I’m thinking “fantasy game equivalent” of The 40-Year Old Virgin.
- And after that, Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden producer Tomonobu Itagaki talks a bit “about all things gaming and announces a title that will make all you Ninja Gaiden fans happy.”
All this and eyecandy.
- Next-Gen links to a video which attempts to capture the history of video gaming in 40 seconds.
Did they succeed? Let’s watch.
- Wii Development interviews via Go Nintendo, volume 2, part 3, section b, quadrant epsilon, codename: Blue Bass.
aka: “The Sensor Bar.”
- The PS3 might be more powerful, the Wii might be more innovative, but dammit, no one can contest that the XBox 360 has them all beat in the field of good taste.
- Gaming Horizon(via Joystiq) has come to tell you that the PlayStation 3 does not suck. Here is why.
- Hmm, see, now this is what we call a “missed opportunity.”
Yesterday was the anniversary of the Famicom release of Super Mario Bros. in Japan. What better day than that to have held their press conference?
On top of that, they could have shown all sorts of cleverness like we used to see in the 90s with things like “Mortal Monday” and “Sonic 2sday” with “Nintendo Wiinesday.”
Oh well. All we can do now is to weep for opportunities lost.
- Remember that funky commercial for Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 a couple of years ago? The one with all the kids rushing out of school to get the game, taking a rather Mario-esque trip through the city to the video game store?
- At Wal-marts and Toys R Us I have seen the Mario Kart radio controlled racers of Mario, Yoshi, and Donkey Kong, but never have I bought one, much as I’d love to.
But at least now, I have an assessment, a review if you will, to tell me what I am missing.
- Is there such a thing as a funny Wii joke? Elektriq seems to think so, and they’ve listed their 12 favorites.
3, 6, and 12 are my faves of the lot.
- “Whas’ wrong? Is my gearbox hangin’ out or something’?”
Maybe not, but developer Gearbox did hang out a little with the boys over at Electronic Gaming Monthly to discuss a few things, and Joystiq pulled a few choice tidbits of their founder and president sizing up the systems in the new marketplace.
