Will Wright Confirms Spore on Wii
In a recent interview with Guardian, Will Wright confirmed that Spore was coming to the Wii: We’re doing Spore on the Wii, and we did MySims. It takes signifcant. PS3 and Xbox 360 are similar enough that you can. So it comes down to what the interesting major platforms are and which markets we want…

Awesome Radical Retro Prospective: A Boy and His Blob
This week’s retro prospective spotlights A Boy and His Blob: Trouble in Blobolonia, which was first released in 1989 for the NES. The game was pretty weird but that’s what made it so awesome. Basically, it’s a side scrolling platformer, with a twist. The whole time you have a blob friend (named Blobert, apparently) that…

Could a Square Character Appear in Brawl?
I was listening to IGN’s Wii-k In Review today, a podcast where the Wii editors talk about all things Nintendo. They were talking about Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and mentioned that they were waiting for “…the big Square character unveil…”. I never really thought about it, does this rumor have any truth? How awesome would…

Orcs & Elves
Seriously, this looks like the worst game ever. How long did they work on this for before they decided “You know what, let’s just stop and release it.” I guess the burning quest is if there are, in fact, any orcs and elves in this game, or if the game creators just felt like that…

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles
Resident Evil on rails…honestly, not excited. I don’t even know why I posted this, really. Why can’t the Wii get a real new Resident Evil instead of an shooter on rails? I guess everyone who owns a Wii is too young or too old or just not hardcore enough to buy this, anyway. Am I…

Wright Says Spore About Six Months Away
If you haven’t heard of Spore yet, it’s Will Wright’s latest awesome game. First Simcity, then The Sims, now…Spore. You basically control every aspect of the evolution of a species from microscopic through ruling the galaxy. The awesomeness doesn’t really come across in one sentence, I know, but it is, trust me. Anyway, Wright is…

Wii Animal Crossing an MMO?
Wired has an article up stating that a UK magazine has confirmed Animal Crossing for the Wii will be an MMO. I don’t know how I feel about it. If there isn’t someway to stop people from chopping down trees, planting pitfalls everywhere, or just generally destroying my town it will suck. Honestly, I don’t…

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Newest Character King Dedede
Smash Bros. Dojo has announced a new character today, King Dedede, from the Kirby series. Honestly, pretty lame if you ask me. I’m sure some people like him, but I don’t, he’s a big stupid head. Yeah, I said it, I pulled the “stupid head” card. Like, where is Captain Falcon? Captain Falcon is 10…

Front Mission (DS) Initial Impressions
The original Front Mission first came out for the SNES in 1995, in Japan only. I don’t know why they didn’t translate it, giant robots fighting one another is universally awesome. Regardless, Front Mission DS has now been released in the U.S. and is a remake of the original. It’s basically your typical tactical roleplaying…

Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction Bug
Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction arrives in stores today, and along with it a little, tiny bug. According to Insomniac: “We recently discovered a bug on the US version of Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction that some of you may encounter the first time you boot the game,” Insomniac community manager…

Trama Center: New Blood Scalpel Gameplay
I seriously think I could be a doctor. It doesn’t seem that hard, some nurse telling me to cut this or that thing, suck out the blood, disable the control chip inside somebodies body, blah blah. Not that hard.

VC New Releases (A Day Late)
Lunar Pool, Ninja JaJaMaru-kun, and Golden Axe III. Radical. I guess in Ninja JaJaMaru-kun you run around as a ninja killing people and collecting their souls or something? Pretty awesome, I suppose. I’m 90% sure I wouldn’t buy any of these, actually. Maybe Golden Axe III…maybe… Here’s the full list, with more details…
