1. GameTrailers has another Family Guy trailer up for your perusal.
2. Showing that they aren’t just about T&A, Tecmo has a new game coming to the PS2 called Tokobot Plus: Mysteries of the Karakuri which gives off a slight MegaMan Legends/Misadventures of Tron Bonne vibe to me; not in a way that it seems like a blatant rip-off or anything, but just based on the footage, it looks almost like such a story and game could fit within the Legends universe.

   Anyway, GameTrailers has some footage and an interview up.

3. Looks like Japan has gotten their Wiimotes early… sort of.

   I’m pretty sure they had released or announced this awhile back, but the Club Nintendo members in Japan have gotten the opportunity to receive their very own television remote control based on the Wii remote’s design. IGN has a number of comparison shots to other controllers and remotes.

   I wish America had a Club Nintendo…

4. GameDaily takes an interesting look inside New York’s game shops.

   Personally, I’d have liked a little more direct comparison to the Japanese gaming stores we always seem to hear so much about when someone ventures overseas.

5. Ok, so for a moment, I thought Sony was talking without thinking again, but then I noticed this is from Australia, where the Wii is a bit overpriced.

   Or at least, that’s how it sounds. I don’t know much about Australian economy, but evidently Kotaku does, and they have some less-than-kind words regarding the comments.

6. Nintendo of Japan’s Custom Robo DS website has a neat commercial up.

   Can’t wait for this game.

7. Game|Life has a few “notable quotables” from a conference earlier today. This one may be a favorite.
8. Mr. Kohler also brings us an amusing Contra comic.
9. Stephen Colbert has been getting into the gaming scene a bit lately, thanks to the magic of his Green Screen Challenge.

   Check out the submission from “George L,” while you’re at it.

10. Joystiq takes a look at some of Nintendo’s toys from before they entered the video game business.

    Wild stuff, huh? I’ve known about some of these, though I’ve not had pictures to look at. Mach Rider looks nothing like the game, though.

11. If you don’t own an XBox 360, and aren’t looking at a PS3 anytime soon but still want to give the next generation of Sonic the Hedgehog a try… well, can’t really help you.

    But Blaze Hedgehog might have a little something to ease the pain with a Sonic Advance-styled Kingdom Valley stage. So check it out.
