I don't suppose No More Heroes 2 is playable?

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-03-2009, 06:02 PM

Can't find it anywhere.

*Ninjinister* · 06-03-2009, 08:28 PM

They've got official renders of the two Toads, and they're in press releases. Barring a drastic change, it looks like they're here to stay.

I read somewhere that the North American version of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is dropping one character for five new ones. I don't care who is being dropped, I'll take five new ones - even if they're crap.

*Raven* · 06-03-2009, 09:35 PM

I might be the only one here, but Im pretty excited for the Beatles Rock Band game.

S*** man, I'm a huge Beatles fan. It's just that if I were to get it, I'd have to get the full version, with all of the instruments. And I just can't afford that.

Seth Killian said that the press release where that was stated is horsesh*t, and was actually released by accident. He said they're looking at updating the roster, but nothing is set in stone.

Aw, f***.....

In other news...Kojima is making a Castlevania game.

I had heard the rumor...but damn. Still unexpected.

*Ninjinister* · 06-03-2009, 10:43 PM

Heaven knows if it'll be any good. The other 3D Castlevania games I've played have been "good" at best. I hope they finally get this one right. I love SotN as much as the next guy, but I'm tired of hearing the fanboys and girls whining when one that isn't the same ol' 2D is released... as if that hasn't been everything released on portables this past decade.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-04-2009, 04:27 AM

Oh well, looks like that's the end of the run of 2D Metroid-vanias. Not too sad though. They were on the verge of burnout anyway.

Cool though that Metroid & Castlevania are both getting a full retro-haul together at the hand of legendary studios.

*Mecha Cow* · 06-04-2009, 06:28 AM

The trailer to that looks really cool. I can't say it really feels like Castlevania to me, but I don't care about that.

poiuytre · 06-04-2009, 06:46 AM

This project gives me many mixed feelings. The Castlevania fan in me hopes Kojima Productions will do more than just overseeing this project, but that question answers itself going by how many projects they're already working on.

MercurySteam by themselves gives me little hope given their abysmal track record. That said, I'm relieved it isn't Igarashi giving 3D another shot. He tried many times and he tried hard, but he just couldn't get it right.

Going by the trailer and name, they're turning the series into the God of War-clone for better or worse. Not really digging the main character design either. He looks like anime Aragorn in bright red. His clothing lacks the style and class of Ayami Kojima's designs. I hope she at least will do the promotional artwork. Keeping my fingers crossed for a Michiru Yamane soundtrack too, rather than the generic epic music one that I'm fully excepting right now.

Oh well... Whether I like it or not, this was destined to happen if the series wanted to survive. 2D Castlevania in all its iterations might rock, but for the last few years it only gets issued minuscule budgets and got stuck with the self-fulfilling prophecy where it doesn't sell because it because they're so low-budget. Please let this one be good.

*raphael_is_cool* · 06-04-2009, 07:50 AM

Just Cause 2 certainly looks fun
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3...ref=playerfeat

The first one looked great, but it got repetitive pretty quickly.

*Cure* · 06-04-2009, 12:09 PM

So the Zelda artwork was leaked, but the site I was on wanted to "respect" Nintendo's wishes and not show it. Pfft. Anyone have it/seen it/know where it is?

*Mecha Cow* · 06-04-2009, 12:26 PM

The only thing floating around is a tiny, blurry image. You can barely make out anything other than that it appears to use the same art style as in Twilight Princess.

The reason for the (relatively) poor sales have nothing to do with a low-budget. It also has to do with the fact that they started pumping them out seemingly non-stop, and as fun as Castlevania can be, they're pretty much all the same thing. People just got tired of that formula. The same way they did when Mega Man had a sequel every year.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-04-2009, 07:13 PM

Just Cause 2 is fun. Probably the most fun I've had with a sand box in a long time. That parachute makes all the difference. grapple to car, plant C4, pull chute, press detinator. Freaking rawsome. Ghostbusters gameplay is quite possibly the biggest shock. Its so damned fun. We had the director in the hotel last night for a podcast, and he hooked us up today with the full version of the game. Me and Matt just sat in the room for two hours and played all the way to Stay Puff. The script is freaking amazing. You can tell Bill Murray basically adlibbed half the best jokes. It feels authentic. That's all I can say. They busted their asses to make it come back to life.

Oh, they had Mario hooked up to the surround system today, and you could hear Yoshi's classic sound effects from SMW restored. You know, the "Pree-Proo" sound it makes when you jump on his back they retired after MK64? It's finally back. I missed it.

Yeah, I'm a nerd.

*Dr. Doom* · 06-05-2009, 01:13 AM

BAM!

Ra · 06-05-2009, 04:16 AM

HO DAMN!! *floored*

DO WANT.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-05-2009, 04:47 AM

The one Shiggy showed us didn't have the logo on it. But whatever. Same art.

Damn. 2009 is going to be Wii's freaking AAAA year.
