Weheard yesterday aboutthe next few add-ons forUncharted 2: Among Thieves, one of which caught my eye. Yes, it was the one that introduced characters from other first-party games. How’d you guess? Now, we have screenshots of this new content, and are no longer forced to use our imaginations. Unlike the Star Wars characters inSoulcalibur IV, I think this cross-promotion actually works without coming off as too insane. Ridiculous? Yes. But in a good way....

According toEBgames, official component cables for the Wii from Nintendo won’t be available until December. The cables, priced at $29.99, are listed with a release date of 12/15/06. Does it suck?

Looks like Wiitards are screwed. Despite theridiculous determination of lawyersto try to find a way to blame Nintendo for people’s inability to firmly hold a controller and move around simultaneously, the argument seems to be failing.1Upfeatured Nintendo’s offical press statement in response to the allegations yesterday, which reads as follows: “We believe the lawsuit to be completely without merit. Nintendo has a long tradition of delivering high-quality products and excellent customer service, and we take all reports from our customers seriously....

At a Sony event in San Francisco,1UPwas able to confirm thatWipeout HDwill debut on PlayStation Network for $20 in North America.Wipeout HDwill have 16 “classic” tracks (the majority stemming from the PSP versions) all converted into high-definition.

After last weeks horrific YTMNDs, it’s great to have some good ones on the plate again. Hopefully, YTMND doesn’t pull a summer slump like thenew release lists. Or maybe I’m just failing at the hunt. I think I need somebackup. Anyway, my favorite this week had to be the Cloud is inSuper Smash Brawlone. Which one’s were your favorite this week?

Confession: When playing co-opLeft 4 Dead, I’m the guy who’s always shooting you in the back. I mean, I don’t do it onpurpose. It’s just that what if youwerea zombie? Also, I’m not a very good shot… and you keep getting in my way, man. So this strange little hack that allows for up to 16 players join in on a cooperativeLeft 4 Dead 2game sounds like it would end in disaster....

Curious about what 38 Studios is up to these days? Yeah, same here.
