I'm cool with Konami's approach. Original games that make good use of the controls. I'm not too worried about the graphics because of it. I don't understand Elebits' level creator at all, though. doh

http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3158479 1up's Jeremy Parish has a new preview up for TRA. Also, some encouraging opinions from his personal site on the game: So, bullocks to the opinion that God of War 2 was the last great PS2 game (and I'd even argue on it being "great", but that's another thread); and it's only about a month-ish away!

If the only AAA-caliber titles on Wii turn out to be Nintendo games, I won't exactly be crying in my soda pop. However, it does appear to be true that developers aren't even reaching the max of the *Gamecube*s potential with their Wii games, let alone the additional power Wii offers (which, let's face it, isn't much, but it's there).

Resident Evil 4 is also coming to Wii, and will have the Ada missions. So if you don't own a previous version, then look for the GC visuals + the added PS2 content.

CAD will show the "Hidden" windows? Cool, I never tried that one. On our Macs at work, for some reason they rolled us back to Firefox 1.5 from 2. Nobody I talked to knows why exactly, but it wasn't a complete re-image, just that application. Odd. Although 2 was running far, far better on the macs than the PCs I've used. For the folks who report no issues--do you use pipelining as well? Maybe 2 doesn't like it very much.

The first title--sounds like a job for Corey Lazarus. I'll email a horror movie buff friend of mine on it, though.

http://www.oxm.co.uk/news/3rd_person/princ...assassins_creed Hm, maybe it's 360 exclusive...? (Remembers its Ubi) ...well, for now. I wish there was more info available on it. They should get Jordan Mechner onto this project to bring back the spark that the solid, but not quite spectacular, followups of Sands of Time had. A more recent tidbit: http://www.oxm.co.uk/articles/news/hardwar...ersia_confirmed Somewhat iffy on the source, though. Although it sounds like it might hit before Assassin's Creed, which seems surprising.

Acclaim This is all you *really* needed to say. Damn, that's messed up. Especially after how well the MK3 turned out for PSX (morph loads aside of course).

http://www.dsfanboy.com/2007/01/31/mortal-...ming-to-the-ds/ Translation: It'll be an existing game with extra crap thrown in it, or a compilation. I'll guess MK1-3 or Armageddon with touch-screen fatalities. EDIT: Not that they've actually made any "new" games in years. Armageddon is Deadly Alliance part 3.

http://www.joystiq.com/2007/04/03/playstat...lunge-82-in-uk/ I guess the PS3 was just "a fad." (No, it doesn't really mean anything. Carry on).

Yes, the DS could display pre-rendered video. What of it?

While not actually PW related, Capcom is working on a stock trading game that's apparently going to be cut from a similar cloth, Stock Trader Instant: http://www.destructoid.com/now-you-too-can...er--30736.phtml Official (JP) site: http://www.capcom.co.jp/shun/main.html There's a a trailer up for the game (click the button that says NEW!). It apparently involves bishies, girls who look about 14, and chains. Okaaaaay...

I discussed it a little bit with Renegade on MSN. This is undoubtedly going to involve some truly awful singing, nobody will want to play bass, and getting the most of the title will be friggin' expensive because of the extra accessories involved, I'd presume. Plus, MTV acting in a producing capacity worries me. I'll hold any excitement off until a song set is released for public consumption. It's going to apparently come to all of the current-gen (360, PS3, Wii) systems, though, but what that really means is you better own a 360 or be able to hook up some people locally, because otherwise you're not going to get together multiplayer, because of the obvious PS3 and Wii complications for online play.

What's so bad about the PSX version? Isn't that the same as the Saturn, which is pretty good save for missing sound samples? Ok. I'll PM you if I have any luck.

Possibly. And there's a good chance it's wrong, too. You get the call when the corp *thinks* the store should have it.

The extra cost on TMNT kind of sucks. But what really sucks is that XBLA offers a far, *far* better value with its TMNT game. And correct me if I'm wrong, but in "real money" isn't TMNT XBLA cheaper? 5 bucks vs. 6 bucks?

MK1 was a serious "beer goggles" fighter. I no longer have Deception, but I think I have the bonus disc with MK1 on it lying around somewhere. I'm not sure where, though, which is unusual for me.

So the one person singing praises of the game is down on it because it costs an extra $1 than the other NES VC releases? I think I'll wait until Battletoads to get my VC masochistic NES platforming on. I did get Dragon's Curse, though. Pretty fun so far, but the backtracking when you die is annoying, especially when you get hit by cheap hits (damn cloud guys).

Note to self: get a better job or kill self before then.

600 points for TMNT? **** that. I think I'll get Dragon's Curse.

BS. MK1 is available on PS2 in the Kollector's Edition of Mortal Kombat Deception on the bonus disc. Armageddon's premium edition has UMK3.

Only Cell can handle KH3.

$100 Wi-fi accessory for 360? Oh yeah...120 GB price. Carry on.

Agreed. And by "The more I watch" I mean "the first time I ever saw Episode 1."
