BUTT

Apparently Donkey Kong 64 is rumored to be getting a DS port soon. Meh to that. I'd rather have a Donkey Kong Country 4. Because that series ruled. I don't care what the new wave of gaming journalists determined to discredit that series say. No, if your opinion is that DKC was a bad game, your opinion is WRONG.

I think this might have been the time when he had the idea of turning Rock gay. All I remember for sure is he was put in the writing team and his ideas were considered so out of touch that he was removed and made a 'consultant' and sent home/quit all in the space of 24hrs. Where exactly did this story come from? I called into Observer Live about a year and a half ago to ask about this and Dave said he had never heard that story.

Just announced for DS: Remakes of Dragon Quest 4, 5 and 6 Viva Pinata DS

He means that, for BFG for example, it was held in Plymouth, MI, so they would always say it was being held in "Motor City USA" or something like that so that you would think it was coming from Detroit and they wouldn't come off as minor league by having a PPV in a town that nobody has ever heard of. Anyway, in a recent Observer Dave was saying that it was a bad idea for them to hold this event in Atlanta because there is some big event going on that weekend, but I don't remember what it was. Perhaps a NASCAR race of some kind?

I just bought Hotel Dusk. This game is really cool and reminds me a bit of Deja Vu for the NES. Plus, I love the art style. Although the main character is a bit too modern-looking with his hairstyle and chin hair for a game that takes place in 1979.

I prefer IGN. But I like 1up's podcasts.

Well, even though he pretty much sucks in the ring, the Sandman is more charismatic and the crowds pop for him more than they do for Lashley or even half of the rest of the roster. Actually, the newest WON (or maybe it was the one before that) said that Vince has become a big Sandman fan because he is intrigued by Sandman's unique character and promos.

Remember how some dude on Joystiq a while back said that Twilight Princess sucked because the colors were too brown and you couldn't read signs from far away? Oh man, Joystiq.

EFA. I like him. Nobody can ever top Hotbutter. I like this pbone. He likes AWK!

I'm gonna guess 3 of them are Crash Holly, Curt Hennig and Chris Candido...the other 3 I'm drawing a blank. Hawk, Malice, Mike Awesome.

I would suspect there's a good chance that the team working on the game has an online mode in development but is unsure if it will be complete by the game's release date.

Also, to follow up on what I wrote earlier, I was listening to last night's 1Up Yours podcast on the conferences and they noted the absence from E3 of Project H.A.M.M.E.R. and Disaster: Day of Crisis and one of the dudes on the show said "those games are gone, and they're not coming back". Now H.A.M.M.E.R. I can believe, since it has been rumored to have been canceled for weeks now, but Disaster? Nintendo just bought Monolith Soft, and it's not like they are the kind of developer that Nintendo would buy just to cancel the game and tell them to make something with more "casual gamer appeal", which, it is rumored, they did with NST, developer of H.A.M.M.E.R.

The Nintendo conference was a huge letdown. They didn't even do the upcoming games montage that they do at every year's show. Plus, they ignored some of their own games that are coming out this year, like Battalion Wars 2 and Endless Ocean (formerly Forever Blue). The worst part is that, we can assume, Smash Bros. won't be online, since they didn't mention it at all during their segment on Nintendo Wi-Fi.

Anyone seen the "I'm Michelle McCool......and I'm loving life!" promos on wwe.com? Tremendous.

That was lame. Yeah, Nintendo, I get it, you love casual gamers. But I ain't one of 'em. What about me? What about you? What about looooooooooooooooooooooooovvvveeeeee?

Mario Galaxy out November 12th.

Mario Kart online for Wii in the first quarter of next year! With a special wheel! The game is ugly!

Super Smash Bros. out on December 3rd.

Reggie sure is stoked on the Wii Zapper. Ghost Squad!

Reggie just boasted that 14 of the top 20 best selling Wii games are from third-parties. Considering that Nintendo has thus far only released 8 stand-alone first-party games for the system, and two just came out in the last month, that's to be expected. Holy fuck the Wii Zapper is ugly!

Ehh, this is boring. Read about it on Joystiq: http://www.joystiq.com/2007/07/10/engadget...3-2007-keynote/
