Much to my surprise, we have talked aboutWe Cheer 2before on Destructoid. Not once, but twice. The game doesn’t exactly mesh with our readership, so why would we do such a thing? We haveour reasons, many of which could beconsidered immoral. The clever folks at Namco Bandai have done the impossible: gotten us to break our vow ofWe Cheer 2silence by pulling a weird marketing move. Panda fromTekkenwill have a cameo in the game’s Workout mode, as seen in the attached images....

I’ve been known to defend my craft from the trendy critics of so-called game journalism, but that doesn’t mean we writers are not above reproach. In fact, there’s a certain little tactic that I am yet to find a reasonable, justifiable, believable defense for, and that is the subject of this week’s show. I got genuinely furious in this one, moreso than usual. This is partially because of the subject, and partially because I had an absurd amount of recording problems and had to re-record vast tracts of the video....

TheDOJOweek started off with Zero SuitSamusshowing off herspecial moves. You can paralyze your opponents, fire at people’s feet and use her Plasma Whip to whip people, grab enemies, and hang from an edge. I got a little giddy when I listened to Tuesday’s update. It’s theWarioWarestage music calledAshley’s theme. If you’ve played the last couple ofWarioWaregames, then you’ll know Ashley’s theme is always very funny and very cute. Check out the Japanese section, for the Japanese version of this song too....

It’s Mother’s Day! Stop reading this for a second and go call your mom to tell her how much you love her. I don’t care if your mother “accidentally” ran you over with an orange truck or dropped you on your head at the local bar. She is your mother and deserves all the love and respect in the world. Well,mostmothers do, anyway. In videogames, the mothers of main characters generally fall into three distinct categories: they are either completely insignificant, evil, or not talked about whatsoever....

Given the fact that my last job allowed me to rent a nigh-immeasurable number of Wii games for free, I’ve had a fair amount of experience with the system. And while I still like my Wii — without it, I would have never known the pleasures of actually winning a boxing match — it has to be said that the Wiimote, and its interaction with the television, needs (at least) two major upgrades....

You’d have to be either a hugeGears of Warfan or have an insane amount of disposable income to be able to afford TriForce’s 1:1 scale Lancer Assault Rifle. The highly impressive replica costs $949.99, and will be available in February of next year. These Lancers are 40″ in length, weigh 15 pounds, have working LED lights, and only 500 of them are being created. TriForce istaking pre-ordersnow, if you actually are into this sort of thing....

Best Virtual Console week ever? You bet! Nintendo has announced that the “greatest game ever” will be coming to the Wii Shop Channel today. That’s right, we’re talking aboutVirtual Golf(TurboGrafx16, 1-3 players, 600 Wii Points)! With its “simple-yet-realistic controls and beautiful graphics,” this is far and away the best videogame you’ll ever play. This golf title even factors in wind strength and the slope of the green, features that confirm its status as “greatest game ever....

If you readyesterday’s post concerningFallout 3and its endless endings, you may either be more excited than ever about the game’s upcoming release or slightly confused about who has time to play a game through 200 times to get every ending beyond crazed completionists. Thanks to an update fromFallout 3: A Post Nuclear Blog, it seems that we’re wrong to think there are 200 individual endings. Kind of. Direct quote from Todd Howard on the OXM podcast: Todd Howard: Being that we are Bethesda…everything gets a bit big....

It’s a question we’ve all asked ourselves at one point or another in our lives. Why isn’t there more female screaming and people pissing on themselves in videogames? ThePostalseries tried to bring these noble experiences to the world of interactive entertainment, but for all the franchise’s tastelessness, it were these two items that were considered too extreme for Western audiences. “Well, it was kind of weird and amusing when we had to cut all the female moans and screams out ofPostal 1for release in Britain due to sensitivity surrounding the tragic death of Princess Diana,”explains lead designerSteve Wik....
