The platform is unknown, but if it NAOMI, here comes another "NO, REALLY, THIS IS THE LAAAAST DREAMCAST GAME" title.

And now the news from Europe:
The first 500,000 Europeans to register their PS3 on the PlayStation Network will receive Casino fucking Royale on Blu-Ray!
| Quote: |
First 500,000 PS3 Registrants on PLAYSTATION®Network to be Rewarded with Casino Royale on Blu-ray
London, 12th February 2007 – Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) announced today that, in addition to the extensive line-up of games, the first 500,000 purchasers of PLAYSTATION®3 who registered on the PLAYSTATION®Network would receive a Blu-ray disc movie of Casino Royale, starring James Bond newcomer Daniel Craig.
Casino Royale, which has already grossed more than $560 million at the box office worldwide, and has established itself as the most successful Bond film of all time will debut on a 50GB dual-layer Blu-ray disc encoded in MPEG-4 AVC. With a ground breaking collection of added-value features in 1080P High Definition visual quality, and with uncompressed audio features for the best possible audio experience, Casino Royale not only demonstrates the exceptional visual quality of Full 1080P High Definition movies on Blu-ray disc, but is the perfect vehicle to highlight the broader entertainment credentials of the PLAYSTATION 3 system.
Explaining the offer, Darren Carter, VP Brand and Consumer Marketing said, “The PLAYSTATION®Network unlocks the broad range of interactive entertainment features of PLAYSTATION 3. It’s easy to set up, offers free online gaming, has great tools for staying in touch with friends and family, and includes a wide variety of content for download through the PLAYSTATION®Store.”
“All this, and more, will enable users to experience a whole new world of interactive entertainment, and that is why we are offering the phenomenal incentive of Casino Royale, on Blu-ray disc, to PS3 owners who register on the PLAYSTATION®Network. Casino Royale not only makes the most of the features and capabilities of the Blu-ray format, but is one of the most exciting and entertaining movies to debut on Blu-ray this year.” |
In related news, if a current EU proposal is passed it will be illegal from December 31st this year for a company to misrepresent itself via such methods used in various Amazon reviews, viral marketing attempts (hi tim), and such blogs as "All I want for Christmas is a PSP." More here. |

The car in the background of the first screenshot is ... kind of odd. It looks too new to fit in a world where trotmobiles are still in use. They would have to make a giant leap forward to progress that far, though I would wonder then why the Trots haven't evolved ...
nevertheless, there is a cool Savory-wallpaper up to grab in their calendar-section, go get it!

If you ignore the fact that Yuropeans will have to pay 776$, that's a bargain!

pound smash puny dollar
Actually, by current rates a UK PS3 costs the equivalent of $827, but there are various differences in wages and cost of living between UK/USA that make up a lot of the price differential. In reality, Europeans are only slightly more screwed over than their Americo-Nippon counterparts, which is the way of things for us hardened PAL fighters anyway. |

Kid Icarus, Kirby's Adventure, and Ice Climbers are all now available on the virtual console.
The strangest thing is that the secret passwords(eg ICARUS FIGHTS MEDUSA ANGELS) don't work in the VC version of Kid Icarus. I can't imagine how an emulator would affect the password system, but I also thought they weren't changing the game code to any of these games, and can't imagine why they would bother making this change. So I am utterly mystified.
Was there ever a rerelease of Kid Icarus that had these passwords removed, like how Mike Tyson was removed from Punch-Out? |

I'm glad there isn't a game out I really want to have, and I hope it stays this way until the prices drop ... as far as I am concerned, it remains to be seen whether Sony decides to rely on that shitty region lockout.
Depending on that (and, of course, games) I might import a Wii/PS3 in some years down the road.

Will Wright talks more about Spore and other subjects. Like, for eight pages. There's some good stuff here, much of which has been said elsewhere, but some of which is new.
Just a random quote:
| Quote: |
One of the oddball things about Spore, when you look at it, it's sort of a single-player massively multiplayer game, which seems at odds… I kind of like the idea that I won't be killed by a 14-year-old who has more skills than I do, but did you consider having it live online player versus player?
We thought about it. In fact, technically, based on all the stuff we've already done for it, it wouldn't be very hard at all. We've already solved all the hard problems we would need to do a persistent online world version of Spore. The hard part is, what happens when you come to a planet and the planet's offline? Which would be the case. In fact, one of the reasons why I kind of went down this path is that nobody has really explored the hybrid model. And this really is a hybrid, it's what we call a massively single-player game, where we try to get the benefits of an online game, which is all the people building the world collectively together, without the liabilities, which is that the 14-year-old can kill you or that you've invested all this time in your planet and somebody comes along and blows it up, and therefore you had to put everybody on the same level treadmill. And I hate these level treadmill games, and I wanted the players to feel really empowered. You know, you have this whole universe and this UFO and you really want to go out there and do epic things, but in an online game you couldn't. So trying to get the best of both worlds, figuring out what the sweet spot is between the features available through a shared universe experience and then the power available to a single-player experience. The intersection of those two things is kind of where Spore ended up and why it ended up there. |

there was a famicom disk system release with more sound channels, which is probably what you're thinking of.
that conversation can't be found for sure? i'd really like to see it. it's really hard to imagine justin bailey being an accident of math. |

Reggie Fils-Aime comments on Mother 3:
| Quote: |
| From the most hyped games to the somewhat more obscure, Fils-Aime will discuss any possible title for Nintendo systems. So what of "Mother 3," a 2006 Game Boy Advance game released to cult acclaim in Japan but never so much as whispered for a U.S. release? The game has such a strong online following that a group of committed fans have vowed to produce their own translated version of the game if Nintendo won't. Fils-Aime has never played the game, but he knows about the translation project. He said the "Mother" series (known as "Earthbound" when "Mother 2" was released in the U.S.) is important to Satoru Iwata, Nintendo's president, who worked on the series years ago as a developer. "It certainly is a franchise near and dear to his heart, and it's something I'm trying to get smart on to understand whether or not there is an opportunity here. But certainly I've seen the success in Japan. That hasn't gone unnoticed. And it's certainly something we're looking at." |

I doubt Reggie has any real pull in regard to what gets localized and what does not, but the fact that he at least knows about it can't be construed as a bad sign. Perhaps the first positive earthbound news since...forever.

So... uhh, as much as I don't want to say it: the new video for FFXII DS looks pretty good. I mean that in a 2D+3D ala FFT style. It sure looks better than FFIII does (to me). It seems like Squeenix is onto something with this. I state this because it's the first time I've seen it in motion. It's got not so great compression, and is enlarged, but still. I like it.
So, when am I ever going to actually play FFXII? Anyways, this probably won't be released in the US until fall of '08 anyways. I got time.

The actual game looks very nice visually, including the character art that so many people seem to hate, but the actual gameplay looks a bit...clumsy. The same goes for Heroes of Mana. I mean, right now, it's just waves against waves. That's how a lot of wars are fought, of course, but it looks to me like they're simply putting in too many units at a time - which I think will have a negative impact on more traditionally interesting elements of strategy, like positioning and exploiting the enemy's tactical weaknesses.
That said, I do appreciate that the spirit of Monster Summoner GBA lives on, since the DS sequel doesn't...

I also received that call.
This week might get pricey with all the fancy releases due! Especially since it's the same week I might be moving to a new place :P

Seconded. But by the time its officially translated the guys who are making the translated rom will probably be already done. Please god make it so they don't put in any swears. :(
On an unrelated note, here is a DQWii scan that shows that Toups is a mage!

I was just going to post this. Looks (and sounds!) really sleek. Here's hoping Kuju pulls through and delivers more than just a clever concept.

There's a thingy I saw that you can use to connect your Xbox360's hard drive to another computer drive for the purposes of storage/backup. http://gear.ign.com/articles/718/718315p1.html
Might turn out to be a cheaper solution if the regular 20GB Xboxes see a price drop. |
