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.

2-Delight

-The AM Show is currently underway, and screens from the beautiful KoF XII are starting to surface. Current roster shown is : Kyo, Ash, Shen, Ryo, Benimaru, Athena, Ralf, Leona (in a sexy new outfit), Kim, Robert, and Terry. Iori is also shown on a promo poster.

-New FF Dissidia scans show more Cecil and Golbez. Also shows that Onion Knight's outfit is indeed Luneth from FFIII DS.

-Tatsunoko vs Capcom for the Wii confirmed. The Japanese article also apparently mentions it'll have a new exclusive character, a genie from an old Tatsunoko series, Mini Games, and Tatsunoko-produced endings (similar to Studio 4C doing the endings for SF4.

Back again!

-The biggest story while I was gone were two new characters announced for Tatsunoko vs Capcom. Karas from the surprisingly recent work of Tatsunoko and a Lost Planet Mecha. Some loketest vids have also popped up. The best I'd have to say are here, here, here, here and here.

-New Hyadain song here. It's a delicious acapella remix of the Ancient Library theme from Final Fantasy V.

-From the same guy who brought you MM3 With Lyrics, comes MM2 Dr. Wily's Stage with Lyrics. Or as some people put it, it's Okkusenman with more MM-based lyrics.

-Here's some screens and art from Dragonball DS (going to be released over here as DBZ Origins). I've actually heard some good things about the game, and may be worth checking out.

-Funny little Wind Waker animation here.

An offering

I'll be heading to Las Vegas for the next few days. With my currant rate of updating, I don't think there's going to be much of a difference.

-There was some talk of Chrono Trigger being pushed back to next year, it's now back on track, even Amazon has the right date again.

-Golbez and Cecil revealed for Dissidia. Also a comment on Siliconera points out that the article says Paladin Cecil is well balanced and great for aerial combat, while DK Cecil is better for Ground Attacks and has better defense. It seems like he's Dissidia's equivelent to Sheik.

-Burger King has set up a Youtube Page and is releasing weekly shorts created by Seth McFarlane (Family Guy). They're the same idea as FG's "Gag Clips" if they were released by themselves. So far, they have one with Mario and a Dog on $25,000 Pyramid (the funnier one IMHO)

Nico Finds:

-A Faris Caipirinha dance. Not the most impressive, but it's Faris, and done by the same Nico user who did all those other Faris parodies.

-A One Piece MAD based off the Girls High Anime.

-An impressively hand drawn FFVII Dance Video using a Japanese version of Hey Mickey and the Full House theme (???), how odd in a Japanese video.

Late Obligation

Sorry for the lack of news, I had no ideas for a DAS, and I've been busy with things (surprise surprise) Here's a strong Monday update.

-New Rabbids commercial spoofing Big Brother.

-New Dissidia trailer showcasing Kefka and other less important things. (Link also has subs)

-Interesting little Inafune interview regarding Megaman here.

-Some new CT screens that actually show the DS version in action and how the 2 screens will be used. A must see!

-If you've got some time on your hands, check out ANN's "The Dubs that Time Forgot" A really interesting video showcasing some REALLY obscure English dubs for Anime. Part 2 has an intriguing Urusei Yatsura dub done in the UK that resembles Funimation's Shin-Chan dub.

And now my latest Video finds:

-Classic Iron Man in Japanese

-Why so Serious, Paffendorf?

-DBZ Paffendorf

-FFV in SCIV.

-A Brawl+Ouran High School Host Club parody MAD

-Little Little Princess Peach

And some noteworthy new favorites:

-Vic Mignogna's "official" WoW commercial (thanks Kelsey)

-Obscure Square Tech Demo: Chocobo de Battle.

-A catchy Super Smash Brothers Melee remix.

-Hyadain's Royal Straight Flush has been Subbed in English! It uses YT's new Caption system, you have to click the icon in the bottom right corner of the video to activate the subs.

I'm not a dentist

First of all, Mario RPG is now available on the US Virtual Console. So if you have a Wii there's no excuse :p

-Hyadain has a great new Metal Man remix. Probably his best yet!

-The new trailer concerning Rock Volnutt and Doronjo is now out in better quality. And check this out, speaking of Doronjo, maybe Speed Racer will be in the game. Of course this'll make the gameeven MORE unlikely to show up in the US.

-New AVGN with Battletoads.
