Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles Gameplay Trailer
Capcom’s released a new Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles trailer for PAX. It looks pretty good and shooting zombies (or giant spiders) never really gets old.

A Boy And His Blob Getting a Wii Remake
I didn’t realize there was an A Boy And His Blob remake coming to the Wii (announced March 4), a game we previously did a Awesome Radical Retro Prospective for. The graphics look really nice, and I don’t have to remember what the different colored beans do anymore.

Muramasa: The Demon Blade Gets New Publisher, Release Date
This morning XSEED announced it would no longer be publishing Muramasa: The Demon Blade in the U.S. I was a bit worried we’d never see it released here, maybe Vanillaware thought it was too hardcore for the U.S. Wii audience…which would suck because not only does the game look amazing, but I’d have a reason…
