No, Galaxy was announced for the fourth quarter in Europe, I guess that means the last week of December. LOL

BTW, everyone should check out the new Super Mario Galaxy trailer. I'll admit here and now that I haven't enjoyed any Mario platformers since Super Mario Land 2 (yes, that includes Mario 64 and New Super Mario Bros.) but this game looks absolutely fantastic. I can't wait to play it!

Assassin's Creed is the sh*t, pure and simple. Call of Duty 4 too. Fu*king awesome.

Excuse me, i'm off to play more Mario Galaxy.

*Mecha Cow* · 07-12-2007, 02:23 PM

So TMB, since you're there, which is looking better at the moment taking upcoming releases into account, Xbox 360 or PS3? I'm still on the fence about which one I should get to go with my shiny new HD-TV.

**Barkworm** · 07-12-2007, 03:42 PM

I guess you would be better off with a PS3 since you are not into all those over-serious games.

*Mecha Cow* · 07-12-2007, 05:06 PM

That seems to be most of what's available on either console, so that is kind of a moot point. Most of the games that have caught my eye would fall under that category, I guess. I'll get a Wii for the rest. I'm just wondering which of the other two is considered the 'better' one in terms of available and upcoming games.

*E* Some 'next-gen' games I'm interested in:

360:
Gears of War
Blue Dragon
PS3:
MGS4
White Knight Whatever
Both:
Oblivion
Assassin's Creed
Soul Calibur 4
GTA4
Some stuff I forgot

**Barkworm** · 07-12-2007, 11:57 PM

Oh I see. Well, with all the stuff coming out this year you can't go wrong with an XBox.

*Dr. Doom* · 07-13-2007, 12:08 AM

I wish I could get an Xbox. >:[

**Barkworm** · 07-13-2007, 12:23 AM

Dude, I was just watching the gamespot presentations of Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed and I wish I hadn't wasted my money on the Wii so early. I also don't have an HD TV but still.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 07-13-2007, 01:31 AM

Go with the 360, but DO NOT BUY IT until after the new Falcon chipset is released, otherwise the thing will break down.

Oh, and for Gears of War fans...you just got fu*ked up the ass. Exclusively from AMN...

http://360.advancedmn.com/article.php?artid=10855

All the new Gears content isn't coming to Xbox 360. PC exclusive. Those mother****ers. Those MOTHER****ERS.

*Dr. Doom* · 07-13-2007, 02:29 AM

Pricecut and 80G for the PS3 aren't coming to PAL territores at all.

So I guess I could have it slightly worse.

**Barkworm** · 07-13-2007, 02:54 AM

It's not that surprising, the PS3 has just come out here. I expect a price drop during the holiday season.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 07-13-2007, 03:12 AM

God, I've heard some funny and disturbing sh*t this week, but if I told, I would get fired and sued.

**Barkworm** · 07-13-2007, 03:19 AM

****-tease!

EDIT: Apparently instead of a price drop Europe gets the "PS3 Starter Pack" which consists of the 60 GB PS3, two controllers, Motorstorm and Resistance at 599. Not bad.

I don't know if this should go in here or in the Nintendo thread or whatever, but has anyone seen the latest Smash Bros. update? An Animal Crossing level: Smashville.

The most alarming part is that the update is marked with an AC emblem, which would suggest there are AC characters in the game (As they don't assign brand new emblems to levels). Peanut would be proud.

*E* That reminds me. Today is the last day of E³, right? Where is my new Smash Bros. trailer?

**Barkworm** · 07-13-2007, 10:08 AM

The little video on the official site is probably all you're going to get.

*Dr. Doom* · 07-13-2007, 11:20 AM

They fact that they put out that video at all would suggest so, yeah. But I did notice the little AC Icon as well and came to the same conclusion.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 07-14-2007, 01:33 PM

Well, E3 sucked ass in some ways, and rocked in others. Developers I talked to were apprently happy with the show. Cliffy B. and the folks at EA Criterion were in love with the format because they got to personally demo games. In fact, most of the games were being demoed by the directors and producers of the respective teams (Ubisoft Montreal was having a ball with Rayman Raving Rabbits 2 and all the random people that showed up). Hardware manufacturers were pretty silent. Its obvious they were dragged back to this new-E3 and would rather do something else.

The airline hanger they rented out for the floor show was depressing as hell. It was like Mini-3. Horrible. It was sad watching G4 try to fake the glamour the way they did. They seemed to give up after the second day. I talked to Adam Sessler and Matt from IGN, and they both seemed pretty negitive about the hanger aspect.

The rumor now is that they show will be moved to San Fransisco next year in an attempt to make it more close-knit again, though smaller like this year. All the major publishers and hardware makers (including Nintendo as of August) will have offices in San Fransisco, so it just makes sense. I'm looking forward to it, because LA sucks donkeycock. I'll spare you the rant.

The old E3 is dead, but perhaps the new E3 can get more regal treatment next year. The idea is solid. I got more work done this year by a long shot, rather than trying to gambit run the LA Convention center, but the hotel and airline hanger setup felt cheap and ghetto. The show has lost its glamour, but perhaps it can get back the respect.

Anyway, I'm pulling out and heading home by car. Its a long trip, but I'll pop in when I get the chance.

*Brodie* · 07-14-2007, 02:38 PM

Did you see anything about Hellboy?

Also, saw a video for Contra4, and that'd be my next ds purchase.
