2D Will never Die!

-Well the story from SNK I posted yesterday got a little updated by Destructoid. Unlike Kotaku's report. Both Destructoid and trustworthy SNK-Capcom.com Founder and Insider Trieu clarified that Ben Herman is NOT 60 years old, and that he won't joining the SNK move, but is simply finding work elsewhere (not retiring). Other than that what got me in SNK's supposed statement from Japan, "We want to show that SNK is sticking to making 2D fighters and is the world leader in 2D fighters." I love you guys!

-New Zero Punctuation is out. This one covers GTA4. Good ol' Yahtzee.

-New Angry Video Game Nerd is out. Covers some of the obscure NES accessories. Although I have to say, I NEVER had that much trouble with the Zapper that he's talking about. 0_o

-A new character revealed for SoulCalibur 4's Crossover Cameo fest. Her name is Shura and she's designed by the creator of the Manga/Anime Gantz. And because I'm lazy, C=P'd from ANN:

Shura will join the rapier-wielding Scheherazade (pictured below) from fellow manga/anime creator Yutaka Izubuchi (Lodoss, RahXephon), the Lucifer Spear bearer Angol Fear from Mine Yoshizaki (Sgt. Frog, Arcade Gamer Fubuki), and Darth Vader and Yoda from the American Star Wars films.

It was kinda cool, lurking around NeoGaf seeing them pining for Zoro or a character designed by Oda. I imagien someone from Bleach or someone designed by Kubo Tite is more likely. I mean Crazy weapons and big breasts? He's got the Soulcalibur pedigree NAILED.
