A little behind on things… let’s play catch-up.

From the Toronto Video Game Examiner:

Toronto video game deals for the week of November 19th to 25th, 2010 (updated)

Games shipping the week of November 21st, 2010 – It’s on like you-know-who.

From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

Everyone goes bananas at Donkey Kong Country Returns launch in Toronto – This was a lot of fun. Ever seen a world-champion competitive eater down 16 bananas in a minute? Now is your chance, and with other pictures, too, including one really cool kid.

The Nintendo Download – 11/22/10 – Virtual Console update, woo! It looks like a spiritual successor to Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja, but without any idea how good it is.

Orange and green Nintendo DSi bundles coming to Canada – If holding out for a 3DS isn’t an option, maybe one of these would make a nice gift this holiday.

Who are the new starter Pokémon for Black & White? – Well, you may know who they are, but do you know what they’ll be called outside of Japan?

From The Mega Man Network:

Rockman Online Demo Details – This actually just kind of retreads on most of what we said last week, but with a little more clarity in spots.

The TMMN Megacast #003: The End of Tabby!? – I still don’t know what the title means, and neither Heat Man nor Tabby won’t tell me.

Yet More Rockman Online Details – For one thing, it’s not “massive” any more.

Jazwares Is At It Again – More Mega Man toys? It should be interesting to see what they’ve devised this time.

The Ultimate Uncovering – Fun fact: Zero was going to have his own armor upgrade in Mega Man X4.

From the Toronto Video Game Examiner:

What games are your Canadian Forces playing? – Canadian Forces have ordered around 500 games, and strangely enough, they aren’t the hottest new releases.

GameStop brings Black Friday to Canada – Clearly, Boxing Day/Week could not contain all the bloodshed. At least this one seems to be an online-only affair.

New trailer, screens, Q&A, and analysis for Deus Ex: Human Revolution

See Donkey Kong Country Returns, bananas eaten at Toronto launch event – I realize this seems like it should be in Canada Nintendo Examiner, but since it’s in Toronto, I figured maybe I should put it here instead.

From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

Nintendo revives WiiWare demos – About time, though it may also only be for a limited time.

From The Mega Man Network:

More Rockman Online Gameplay, Screens, and Details – The gameplay reveals little new, save for the space station lobby the characters sit around in, but there are some other interesting details to be found here.

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

From the Toronto Video Game Examiner:

Interview with Deus Ex: Human Revolution Producer David Anfossi – We get down to business, and ask the most important question of all.

Canadian Vietnam veteran displeased with Call of Duty: Black Ops release date – Is it an issue of a war game near Remembrance Day, or of one featuring Vietnam?

From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

Super Sonic’s role in Sonic Colors (spoiler)

Nintendo says ‘it’s on,’ files for trademark of popular phrase – This just kind of came up out of nowhere.

From The Mega Man Network:

Do You Smell What The Rock(man) is Cookin’? – This is what happens when two of my favorite worlds collide.

The manly-men of Konami crash PlayStation Home in styleCastlevania cosplay isn’t the biggest surprise awaiting PlayStation Home avatars in this update.

Go bananas for Donkey Kong Country Returns pre-order bonus in Canada – It appears that this most a-peeling bonus item is headed north.

Super Mario All-Stars on Wii: One step closer to North America – Do we dare to hope? To dream? Of not only the game, but the bonus items intact?

Many More Delicious Kotobukiya Blues Pics – One item of disappointment: no Break Man mask.

Ippo Yamada Hints at New Album

Introducing The TMMN… Minicast? – Just like Heat Man and Mainfinger used to (and still do) make… only smaller.

Netflix comes to Canadian consoles – Canadians get access to Netflix at long last. However, is the wait all it’s cracked up to be?

From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

Donkey Kong Country Returns: Previews, details, screens, and Rambi, too – The beast is most definitely back. And perhaps even better than ever before.

From The Mega Man Network:

Introducing The TMMN Megacast! – Heat Man’s no Howard Stern– take that for what it’s worth. Nonetheless, he’s put together a neat little program here with Mainfinger, plus Joveth Gonzalez of Capcom talking about Mega Man Universe and Tabby giving the inside-skinny on OtaRockman. Even Dr. Wily manages to get in on the fun by answering a few questions!

Joystiq, Kotaku Preview Mega Man Universe at TGS – We heard most of what had to be said last week, but these two sites had their own thoughts as well, and have gone into a little more detail about what we may expect from the controls.
