1. You know what? I’ll be honest.

   I’m really quite sick and tired of reading impressions of people trying the Wii. For the most part, it’s all the same stuff. I get it, I just want the damn thing to come out already so I can form my own impressions.

   That said, if anyone DOES still care, GameSpy. Wii Sports. Wario Ware. Monkeys. And big damn trucks.

   Guess what? “You steer by turning the controller in your hand like a steering wheel.”

   *clicks the link*

   “Players hold the Wii controller horizontally with the face pointing up and using the 2 and 1 buttons for accelerating and braking and the d-pad for turbo boost.”

   …close enough. A little more informative than the norm, not enough that I hadn’t more or less guessed at it.

2. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. It’s good.

   What I really want to see, though, is a side-by-side of this game vs. Justice League.

3. GameDaily says that not only will PS3 not loseWeight Exercise the next-gen wars, but it will assume the mantle the PS2 held, making Sony the first company to dominate for three straight.
4. Go Nintendo has done us the pleasure of snagging the Japanese Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin opening off a website and YouTubing it.
5. In Japan, McDonald’s is going to feature Ryuusei no Rockman trading cards.

   I’d rather have the Rockman.EXE figures they were giving out awhile back, though.

6. While still awaiting the translation, Go Nintendo has two “mini” The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess videos from the Iwata interviews in Japan.

   As Walky might say, “Hawtsome.”

7. Wow, can you believe it’s been a year since Hot Coffee already?

   Slashdot reports a Gamasutra article on the aftermath in the modding community.

8. Not an original concept, really, but Kotaku shows off a DevArt piece of ol’ Cracker Jack starring in his own DS game.
9. Slimes.

   Spoons.

   Two things that sound like they have no business being together, much less near your mouth, and yet…

10. The legendary castle of Count Dracula, also known as Castlevania, is a vast and mysterious place.

    Press the Buttons links to an interesting tour of this palace of the damned.

    It may be a lousy place to visit, but I’d really hate to live there.

    “Crap, now where’d my cape go… the closet was here just last night!”

11. Some say that the PSP is in need of a redesign(probably not many of those who shelled out 200+ dollars for theirs, mind).

    Shiny’s Dave Perry talks to Spong about how he’d redesign Sony’s handheld.

    “I’m a gadget freak and even I didn’t go for their movies.”

    He makes a good case. Listen to the man, Sony.
