Claws, sneering and an angry face. Isn’t Sackboy Wolverine just the cutest thing you’ve ever seen? I just can’t wait to boot upLittleBigPlanet, put him on a rocket powered sled, roll it down a large ramp and then launch him into a wall. I’ll have to wait though as theyjust announced themat a panel at Comic-Con, and all we get to see are some pre-renders of the costumes. I’ll also have to wait until I own a PS3....
The little joystick keychain shown above actually contains 10 games, and 5 of them are Genesis/Megadrive games. Pop in one AAA battery and plug in A/V cables and you have a really tiny little retro game system. It actually has an 8-way joystick and A, B, and C buttons. It’s good for travel, hotel rooms, visits to grandma’s house, hand cramps. What’s inside? AtGames and BLAZE are releasing thisArcade Nanofor the UK market this month....
Last night, I had the pleasure of attending theHalo 3beta partyin San Fransisco along with Summa and Husky Hog. I have to say, Microsoft and Bungie know how to throw a good party (OPEN BAR!). Before I go into my thoughts onHalo 3, I want to say that I absolutely love theHalouniverse. I’ve played countless hours ofHalo 2online, read all of the books, engrossed myself intoI Love Beesand if I had the cash, would have bought a custom fitted MJOLNIR armor suit for myself by now....
Jesus C*nting Christ! Despite there being roughly ten billionSonic the Hedgehogcompilations, it seems that Sega feels we can always have more, and has recently submittedSonic Classic Collectionto the OFLC for rating. This time, the blue blur will be reliving his long-lost glory days on the DS. Sega has not officially announced the game yet, but we all know what to expect — a bunch of Genesis games we already own, flavored with the irony of Sega constantly re-releasing goodSonicgames while being unable to make any decent new ones....
Sony has demonstrated that it will happily and shamelessly copy Nintendo if something proves to be successful, and with the huge fan reaction to the 3DS, you’d think the company was busy beavering away at its own 3D version of the PSP. According to the company, however, that’s not on the cards. “No, no plans for that,” says SCE Worldwide Studios VP Scott Rohde. “We just chose to focus on the big 3D in the home....
Did you know thatFinal Fantasy XIIIis kind of a big deal? Apparently it is, because Square Enix has revealed that five million copies of the thing has shipped worldwide. Three million of those games have infiltrated North America and Europe. Yeah, this game is rather large. XIIIis still selling really well in Japan, having launched for the PS3 only on December 17. Also, the entireFinal Fantasyfranchise has reached a cumulative 96 million shipments worldwide....
This week’s update comes courtesy ofNakky’s blogover at the officialSuper Street Fighter IVwebsite, and teases some big news on the way. Nakky has a screencap of Chun-Li being treated unkindly by someone of unknown identity, and she says there’ll be “something huge” announced next week. Nakky teases, “Chun-Li’s getting beat up… but, by who?” Seems pretty safe to assume the big news will be a character reveal, and Nakky says the info will also be published in the 11/26 issue ofFamitsu, which goes on sale shortly....
In what can only be a carefully planned marketing attack to coincide with the recent bevy ofStreet Fighter IVinformation,Street Fighter III: 3rd Strikewill be coming to GameTap on December 20. The bad news? It’s the Dreamcast version. Wait a second — that’s not bad news! If you’re not one of those freaks that recorded and counted the frames in Dudley’s “Ducking Rush,” there should be no bad news. Unless, of course, you don’t use Gametap....
Not just good for boobies and stories about men getting mauled by bears, Stuff Magazine has what appears to be hands-on impressions of Neversoft’s upcomingGuitar Hero World Tour. Besides pictures of themselves playing the game and the basic “the new instruments feel good” drivel, the article also lists a handful of previously unannounced songs: The list joins an already impressive set list of songs which feature tracks by Jimi Hendrix, Billy Idol, the Beastie Boys, and more....
Apparently high-definition remakes are the newMega Manas Capcom is releasing yet another of its ancient (and ridiculously awesome)Street Fightertitles with improved graphics specifically for the new-gen content delivery services inherent in the Xbox 360 and PSTriple. According to Capcom USA’s official blog, the company that Ryu built will be releasingSuper Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remixon the XBLA and PSN next month, and I couldn’t possibly be more excited. AsSPF2Twas the first title to successfuly integrate my two greatest loves (Capcom fighters andPuyo Puyorip-offs), I’m tremendously excited about this release....
[We have moved a few things around and now we have much better picture and audio quality than when the post originally went up, thanks for your patience.] Hot on the heels of their BAFTA win for F1 2010, Codemasters invited me to their offices in the middle of nowhere to speak to the development team behind their latest game,Operation Flashpoint: Red River;all week long Destructoid will be bringing you behind the scenes videos and interviews with the Flashpoint team....
Whenwe learnedthat Swedish developer GRIN was working on aFinal Fantasygame for Square-Enix, we were a little surprised to say the least. The game, codenamedFortress, was rumored to be set in the world ofFinal Fantasy XII, but unfortunately GRIN went under and the game disappeared. However,word crept upthat Square Enix still had the game in development, possibly at Eidos Montreal. All caught up now? Good. So,the video aboveis supposedly a tech demo for the game....
Tokyo Game Show, if you hadn’t heard, is crowded. With those crowds comes the heat, and subsequently sweating. It’s hot and sticky, but hey, that’s the price for fun. So with that in mind, my first stop at TGS probably shouldn’t have beenSuper Monkey Ball Step & Rollfor the Wii. It’s basically exactly what you’d expect — the monkey ball rolling you once controlled with your thumbs is now controlled by your entire body via the Wii Balance Board....
