I know this is old news since the game has been out for over two months now, but I just recently played Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD for the first time, and really liked the tracks for some of the stages. I don’t know why I waited so long to try it, I used to love Super Street Fighter II, I played that game a ton on my SNES. Anyway, I hadn’t heard any details about the soundtrack before, so it was surprising to see that the soundtrack is completely free and was done by the people at OC ReMix.

If you haven’t been able to pick up Korg DS-10 yet (since Gamestop previously decided not to stock it for some reason), it looks like Gamestop has changed their collective minds and will be selling the game starting February 9. They’ll be selling it at $30, which is a pretty good deal.

Thrasher, is this the ninja girl game you were talking about? Apparently there are some box art differences, mostly thong vs. not thong.

Apparently Need for Speed is going where it’s never gone before: action RPG. Wait, wait…I read the press release wrong. It’s actual racing into the genre of racing. Which isn’t a new genre for Need for Speed, at all. So, I guess really I’m just kind of confused and feel betrayed by the press release’s title.
Anyway, they announced three new games: Need for Speed SHIFT, Need for Speed NITRO, and Need for Speed World Online.

The good news: Atlus recently announced that every copy of their upcoming DS title Legacy of Ys: Books I & II will contain a soundtrack, with both the game and soundtrack packed into a collectible box. The bad: the game is delayed for a couple of weeks, to February 24th. I don’t know anymore, Atlus, all these up’s and down’s…I just don’t know if I can keep doing this.

IGN has a nice preview up about Atlus’ upcoming DS dungeon crawler, The Dark Spire. I think the game looks pretty interesting, I liked both Etrian Odyssey games and this seems very similar.
