Dull Goldenweek

-Still nothing major this week. I've heard it being the Goldenweek holiday in Japan is partially responsible. There was a special Playstation Day conference in Europe with a couple minor announcements. Nothing major though.

-Well, for those who are wanting to keep an eye on the upcoming Chun-Li movie, the official Movie blog has unveiled Maya Sunee, a new original character made for the movie. No word yet if she's a rival, friend, or enemy of Chun-Li. Just that's she's a "No nonsense half-Thai cop with Gold Handcuffs" or something. She's played by an actress named Moon Bloodgood (...?)

-Speaking of Chun-li (barely). James Rolfe aka "The Angry Video Game Nerd" posted a really great Top 10 Video on Jackie Chan's Best Fight Scenes. Extra props for putting the Street Fighter parody scene on the list.

-Siliconera has contacted SNK USA and confirmed Samurai Shodown V Special (one of the more violent entries that caused quite a stir in Japan) will be US exclusive. An extra note is that the Wii version will be getting extra minigames for the collection while the PS2 version will be getting Japan exclusive online play. Hmmm.

-Well, a beta fantranslation for the PS2 strategy crossover Namco X Capcom has been officially released. You can burn a copy for your Modded PS2 or if you have a powerful enough PC you might be able to play it emulated. Here's a video of the beginning of the game showing off their English work.
