And yet, they're doing a much bettter job than Ninty Aus.
Gawddamn.
Has this site not been working right for anyone else? I'm having a ton of trouble loading the news area and back pages.
I feel you. I guess its supposed to prevent or help prevent theft....it doesn't work.
I will also get animal crossing now. They really should have more than 4 fucking games in this line though...I mean wtf?
Man Mass Effect 3 looks great. I can't wait for that one.
For any of you Darksiders fans, Newsarama.com (a comic book site) has an interview up with Joe "I'm so full of shit you may as well call me an Outhouse" Madureira. Most of it is in regards to an upcoming collection of his old comic Battle Chasers that he created and ultimately abandoned before completing it, but he does touch on Darksiders 2 just a little bit:
Madureira: Yep, we are pretty far along in development for Darksiders 2. We haven't released many details about it yet, but we will be releasing some screens and videos in a couple months ( most likely at E3, Comic-Con, etc ). I love, love, love it. Fans of the first game are in for a treat, and there are many surprises, new features and gameplay. It's a bigger game, with even more depth and exploration. Wish I could say more!
Regarding my involvement, I'm still Creative Director, though our team has grown considerably, and I'm operating a lot more of a director roll than as a hands-on artist or writer (here are still plenty of characters in there that I conceived). We are all dedicated to preserving the visual style of the first game though, and I actually feel like it looks more like my stuff than the first game.
As with most things Nintendo will just end up being very half-assed about it. Do you remember the "Play it on Wii" line of gamecube game rereleases for example? They released four games at the start (or just three if you are lucky to live in North America) and then as time went on they released another ... zero games!! That's right, no more.
Something tells me this could be similar, they could release the four at the start then forget about it. Same as they forgot to release any more motion plus games, or balance board games or uDraw games.
Nintendo is half-assed.

Sometimes I don't see the point of these classic releases. Most of the time you can already get these old games for a song pre-owned or in a sale or something anyway.

SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA® Europe Ltd. today announced the upcoming re-release of Guardian Heroes™, a classic Action-RPG Brawler by celebrated developers Treasure. Originally released for the SEGA Saturn™ in 1996, Guardian Heroes has been re-mastered with enhanced graphics, online co-op and battle modes, all-new modes of play, and more. The game will be available via Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft this fall.
“Ever since we began to make SEGA’s classic Dreamcast and the Mega Drive titles available for modern systems, the fan response has been overwhelming – and the demand for their favorite games has been pouring in,” said Haruki Satomi, VP of Digital Business at SEGA. “Players have been clamoring for this treasured favorite from the Saturn days, and we cannot wait to show them what we have got for them.”
Guardian Heroes brings the Saturn favorite to life with new HD graphics, presenting Treasure’s iconic fast-paced gameplay on a new generation of hardware, with all of the convenience of purchase via instant download. The game also features:
Action-RPG Brawling: Choose one of five heroes to level up and guide along a branching storyline with five different endings
Friends, Foes, and Fighters: Play the game’s Story Mode alone or with a second player, or challenge Versus Mode with up to 12 players at once
Extended Gameplay: Time Attack Mode, Arcade Mode, Arrange Mode and more allow players to explore every nuance of 45 different fighters
Fully Re-Mastered: All-new graphics and visual effects bring the classic to life in a completely high-definition, widescreen presentation
Let's hope this does well enough for them to consider more Saturn classics.

They're the same, they renamed. I bet they have like 2 of each as they say while stock lasts rather than for all preorders through them. That Ocarina is probably a whistle or something, and the deku tree a rebranded:

Yay, Backbone.... Ugh. I'd prefer no remastering at all, thank you. Unless it was like this:

Yes! I have always wanted to play Guardian Heroes but I just never got it for the Saturn. Perfect release.
Konami is joining the big boys and putting on a conference the day before E3. Last year they had the greatest E3 conference of all time and I think its impossible to surpass it. I suppose this will be a letdown but damn I hope they try.
I will be sucked!
I will be watching!
Guardian Heroes is cool enough. I hope this encourages them to finally put ot a new version of Dragon Force.
*Joins in the excitement*
I would also like to get to play Radiant Silvergun ... Sega please. And the Panzer Dragoons (including Saga). But I'll take Radiant Silvergun

Presidential Lazarus Moment
As reported in The Guardian:
"During what is his first visit to the site as president, he plans to lay a wreath at the memorial to the victims. "He wants to meet with them and share with them this important and significant moment, a bittersweet moment," Carney said."
Amazing the powers this President has.

Radiant Silvergun (or at least a remake of it) is heading to XBLA some time year. Still pissed that it doesn't look like it'll be on the PS3.
