TGS: Something for Everyone

Sorry about the lateness of THIS post. You see I had this update ready since last night, I just wanted to add some more (possibly new news in the morning and then post it), but my internet was down all day today. TGS is in full swing. Let me hand it over to duckroll at NeoGAF for keeping an updating list of all companies.

-No More Heroes 2 Teaser (still gotta beat the first one)

-New SFIV Trailer. Nothing all TOO new. But it does show a little of Dan and the recently confirmed Sakura. Looks and sounds AWESOME though. IGN also has some GORGOUS character trailers up for Akuma and Sakura. Youtube'd if you're interested.

Some small bits of KoF 2002 Unlimited Match. Here and here. Shows a new original character being made for the game. I'm betting it's a redesigned K9999.

-1up has some "720p" shots of KoF XII. Also, Gamevideos has some beautiful, clear footage in action.

-Classic Roll and Jun/Princess from Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets confirmed for TvC.

-Mega Man III gets some more, even funnier lyrics.

-New trailer, and footage of the BEAUTIFUL 2D Slasher Muramasa and the Demon Blade for Wii.

-While there was a new Closed Theater trailer for Dissidia, there was an "art leak" for all the characters, Terra included.

We're on the cruise..

Sorry for the lack of posts, I've been in kind of a lazy, gaming slump playing Uncharted (just beat it on Crushed and earned a Platinum trophy!) and Mega Man 9. TGS is later this week and I'll be all over that, don't worry.

-There's a new One Piece Opening currently airing on Japanese TV (caution: spoilers). Depending on how you count it's either the 9th or 10th. But it's essentially a 10th Anniversary opening. And no surprise, it's a brand new rendition of We Are. There's been a ton of mixed feelings over it, I like it though. There's also a fan-edited version featuring a "classic" short length, and I have to say I like it even better!

-Cyberfanatix has posted a whole ton of KoF XII related stuff on their site including AM Show scans and two new VERY REVEALING interviews. There's no real way I can direct link, so get it while it's hot. But I can link to the original translated interviews done by Iggy of MMCafe here and here.

-I was talking about Uncharted (I also mentioned the sequel in development in a recent post) Well, they're making a movie. Not much on it yet, other than Avi Arad (former Marvel Comics Media guy responsible for a lot of their "adaptations") is going to produce. Assuming they dont get someone like Uwe Boll, this could infact be a good movie!

-Be sure to check my Youtube page for some of my latest. I have too much to link to indivually but I have a cool Rockman tribute, some Japanese Spaceballs, and Obama in Anime.

Stop the Presses!

-There was a Nintendo Press Conference the other night in Japan. GoNintendo has a got a great summary here. Highlights include a new DS (with tons of new features like internal storage for downloadable "DS-ware" like Wii) and a ton of new Exclusives including Sin and Punishment 2 (!!!) and Punch Out. It's also confirmed that several GC titles will be ported to Wii (basically Wii-specific versions with 16:9, 480p and Wiimote support). Titles include: Pikmin, Mario Tennis, DK Jungle Beat, Chibi Robo and the two GC Metroid games.

-Uncharted 2, the sequel to THE must own PS3 game, is confirmed in development.

-New Parody Rangers Flash Animation by Kirbopher on Newgrounds. Also, Alvin Earthworm's latest episode for his Sprite Animation epic SMBZ. Alvin says it won't be nearly as long a wait for Episode 8. I hope he means it.

This post brought to you by...

I actually got a comment from a guy on this here blog the other day. And he was pointing me toward a T-Shirt design contest for 6 Hour Power. I really don't care for the drink, nor do I have any solid ideas for a good T-Shirt, but if you like free stuff, and are DESPERATE for either a 360 or PS3. Check it out! I owe the guy who took the time to read my blog.

-Newgrounds user "Daniel Sun" has concluded his melancholy epic Power Star series about an Evil, Possessed Mario with Power Star 4. Amazing animation and audio, but damn I dunno why there are people who feel the need to make things as dark as possible. It's good, I just don't agree with the whole idea and ending (you'll understand when you see it)

-Capcom USA has posted a mysterious webcam image, showing TvC. Even stranger is that there's a Phoenix Wright plushie pointing to it. Coincidence, or a cheap tease that he's in the game? Either way, since this IS the Capcom USA site, maybe it could also be a tease that we're getting the game after all.

Latest findings include a new One Piece Nico Medley (with Omake) as well as some new SCIV Creation Videos here and here.

Also got a nice little Godot Coffee tribute and a Mega Man Piano Medley by TAM.

Wario Breaks Youtube

-Wario officially breaks Youtube in this clever advertisement.

-Someone has made an AMV out of Hyadain's Silbard (from Chrono Trigger) song and has included his own subtitled translation.

-The "Big Phoenix Wright Announcement" Capcom said was coming? Well turns out it's the announcement of a musical. Not a bad idea, but what's with the idea of casting everyone as female?

-Final Fantasy IV: The After (the Japanese Mobile Phone sequel) MAY be coming out in the US after all. There's been tons of speculation including the DS (not too surprising since SNK has done that with their Mobile Phone games) or Wiiware Chapter releases (not too likely, since I think a game meant on a small screen would look awful on a big screen).

-A meme I'm a little late to, but YT User RandomDCE has started a craze called "Powers better than Heart" based off Captain Planet where the Paneteers recite their powers and the last one, originally Mati's "Heart" is replaced by a totally and completely random clip. Some are better than others, be sure to check out some of the Video Responses/Related Videos.

Mega Party

Well Mega Man 9 has hit Wiiware. Gotta hurry up with this entry so I can go back to playing it!

-Someone has ripped the contents from the elusive MM9 Press Disc. Nothing amazing, but a sizeable collection of wallpapers and artwork

-Also, there's a list of upcoming DLC for MM9. Mostly just Super Hard game modes it seems.

Something new for Chrono Trigger DS regarding the new Dungeons (yes plural). Also it looks like they'll be a Monster Battling mode ala Dragon Quest.

-Official Site for KOFXII. They also have a streaming trailer. Catchy music, but the poor resolution typical of SNK trailers really doesn't show how beautiful the game is in motion, I'd check the loktest videos from my last entry.

Mega Homecoming

-Protoman confirmed as a 2 dollar addon for Megaman 9. It's also been confirmed the game will release this Monday on VC. Good thing I've been brushing up on my MM2 via the recent VC release.

-New Tatsunoko vs Capcom trailer. (Cam)

-New video for KoF XII! Also a couple of small vids captured including Leona and her sexy new outfit. An Athena vs Ash vid. Also here's an Athena vs Kim+Benimaru. Check out Athena's bautiful Shining Crystal Bits effects at the 1:57 mark.

-The Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories Remake for PS2 WILL be released in America on December 2nd. Word is it'll also be budget priced at 19.99.
