^Dust doesn't look that much like Muramasa going by those pictures either. Nyaa Ice setting isn't much of a similarity. You may as well throw Rayman Origins in there too, and countless other games.

Yes. My weekly grocery bill is about $80, if that helps.



But you live on a farm. Nyaa

OK then, if I must spell it out literally:

Two heavily-animated 2D games where Sword bearing heroes fight through extremely colorful trolls and huge boss-like creatures where you juggle your enemies with simple 2 button controls to increase your combo number and battle ranking to obtain more experience and level up your characters on a 2D map where you discover treasure chests and run into barriers that won't let you through until you defeat all the foes in one particular area which is all mapped out on a simple 2D line-based map kinda like the Metroid and CastleVania games...

...or a polygonal game where you are a pink haired caveman that jumps on pigs.

One of these games is not like the other two...  Hrm

Well, I guess Bloomberg has no journalistic integrity.  Good to know.  They edited their article after it was ridiculed for being (obviously) wrong about the 360.  What they did not do is mention on the article the correction, instead subtly editing from this,

to this

"with one of the best-selling game consoles of all time: the Xbox 360."


Forums as a standard at least tell you if the content has been edited since being posted, and when, let alone a news organization.

Do the user comments on the story say that it's been edited?

This is from gamefront, I cannot grab the link because it has no link it is just on the front page.

NGamer said - translated:

Buy Nintendo rare Microsoft?


17.08.12 - Nintendo wants the British developer rare Microsoft buy, for Nintendo and others to get back the rights to Banjo Kazooie. That claims the Nintendo gamers in their September issue in the rumor category.


A new Banjo-Kazooie to be developed according to the British magazine studios of the retro. Nintendo should be therefore already in negotiations with Microsoft, it is finally in the Nintendo gamers.


Rare was founded in 1985 and mainly famous for games for Nintendo systems (Donkey Kong country, GoldenEye 007, perfect dark). 2002 rare was purchased by Microsoft and designed only for the Xbox platform software, including Kameo: elements of power or the Kinect sports series.


Neither Microsoft nor Nintendo have commented on the message and not expressed himself on the report of the Nintendo gamer.

This is the second story about this. Are NGamer just relating the earlier rumour or is there some merit to this story?

That would be great for Nintendo fans and Rare as a studio, as Nintendo could get them in the right direction again. But I highly doubt it.

Remember this same rumor

According to the tipster, Nintendo is in direct negotiations with Microsoft to buy RARE, though the purpose of buying them seems to be all based around getting the rights to Banjo and Kazooie.

Of course, this rumor doesn’t stop there - it goes as far as to suggest that Retro Studios is actually deep into development on a Banjo and Kazooie title, and that the talks with Microsoft have been ongoing for some time.

It actually makes sense for MS to sell Rare if they were just doing Wii party like games, any cheap dev can do that stuff. But the rumour was that Rare was going to get back to hardcore games recentely for Durango.

And:

Ubisofts newest property is this:

Ubisoft's newest property is a red x?

Well of course Nintendo would also want Rare making actual real Rare style games. I would actually hope that if it was real, they would get back the rights to all Rare properties including those made under MS like Viva Pinata.

But this says:

Rare hiring for "multiple AAA future console releases"

Job description:

"You will have a successful history of releasing exceptional AAA games and these will ideally be in the Action/Adventure or FPS genre but this is not essential."

That was on the 17th May this year. So if the buyout rumour is true and that is a biiiiig if, it seems like Nintendo just wants the Banjo licence and not rare as a whole which would explain why they may be lining up Retro to plan out and make a Banjo game; seeing how they did so well with DKCR.

Poor Pussy Riot. Fecking Russian govt.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Three women from Russian punk band Pussy Riot were sentenced to two years in jail on Friday for their protest against President Vladimir Putin in a church, an outcome supporters described as the Kremlin leader's "personal revenge".



The band's supporters burst into chants of "Shame" outside the Moscow courthouse and said the case showed Putin's refusal to tolerate dissent. The U.S. embassy in Moscow said the sentence appeared disproportionate to what the defendants did.


The women have support abroad, where their case has been taken up by a long list of celebrities including Madonna, Paul McCartney and Sting, but opinion polls show few Russians sympathise with them.


"The girls' actions were sacrilegious, blasphemous and broke the church's rules," Judge Marina Syrova told the court as she spent three hours reading the verdict while the women stood watching in handcuffs inside a glass courtroom cage.


She declared all three guilty of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred, saying they had deliberately offended Russian Orthodox believers by storming the altar of Moscow's main cathedral in February to belt out a song deriding Putin.


Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, Marina Alyokhina, 24, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 30, giggled as the judge read out the sentences one by one. They have already been in jail for about five months, meaning they will serve another 19.


They say they were protesting against Putin's close ties with the church when they burst into Moscow's golden-domed Christ the Saviour Cathedral wearing bright ski masks, tights and short skirts.


State prosecutors had requested a three-year jail term.


Putin's opponents portray the trial as part of a wider crackdown by the former KGB spy to crush their protest movement.


"They are in jail because it is Putin's personal revenge," Alexei Navalny, one of the organisers of big protests against Putin during the winter, told reporters outside the court. "This verdict was written by Vladimir Putin."


Putin's spokesman did not immediately answer calls following the verdict, but the president's allies said before the trial that the Kremlin would not have any influence on the outcome. The Russian Orthodox Church also did not comment.


FOREIGN SUPPORT


Foreign singers have campaigned for the trio's release, and Washington says the case is politically motivated. Madonna performed in Moscow with "PUSSY RIOT" painted on her back.


"As in most politically motivated cases, this court is not in line with the law, common sense or mercy," veteran human rights campaigner Lyudmila Alexeyeva said.


But Valentina Ivanova, 60, a retired doctor, said outside the courtroom: "What they did showed disrespect towards everything, and towards believers first of all."


The judge said they had "committed an act of hooliganism, a gross violation of public order showing obvious disrespect for society." She rejected their argument that they had no intention of offending Russian Orthodox believers.


The trio's defence lawyers said they would appeal.


Many in Russia's mainly Orthodox Christian society backed the authorities' demands for severe punishment, though some have said the women deserved clemency.


Putin, who returned to the presidency for a third term in May after a four-year spell as prime minister, has said the women did "nothing good" but should not be judged too harshly.


Witnesses say at least 24 people were detained by police in scuffles or for unfurling banners or donning ski masks in support of Pussy Riot outside the courtroom. Among those detained were Sergei Udaltsov, a leftist opposition leader, and Garry Kasparov, the chess great and vehement Putin critic.


"Shame on (Russian Orthodox Patriarch) Kirill, shame on Putin," Udaltsov said before he was detained.


"A disgraceful political reprisal is under way on the part of the authorities ... If we swallow this injustice, they can come for any one of us tomorrow."


The crowd of about 2,000 people outside the court was dominated by Pussy Riot supporters but also included some nationalists and religious believers demanding a tough sentence.


"Evil must be punished," said Maria Butilno, 60, who held an icon and said Pussy Riot had insulted the faithful.


An opinion poll of Russians released by the independent Levada research group on Friday showed only 6 percent had sympathy with the women, 51 percent said they found nothing good about them or felt irritation or hostility, and the rest were unable to say or were indifferent.


RADICAL PROTESTERS


Tolokonnikova, Alyokhina and Samutsevich are educated, middle-class Russians who say their protest was not intended to offend believers.


The charges against Pussy Riot raised concern abroad about freedom of speech in Russia two decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union.


"Today's sentence in the Pussy Riot case looks disproportionate to the actions," the U.S. Embassy in Moscow wrote on its Twitter micro blog in Russian.


Protests in support of the group were planned in cities from Sydney to Paris, and New York to London. A crowd of several hundred gathered in a New York hotel late on Thursday to hear actress Chloe Sevigny and others read from letters, lyrics and court statements by the detained women.


In the centre of Kiev, a bare-chested feminist activist took a chainsaw to a wooden cross bearing a figure of Christ, while in Bulgaria, sympathisers put Pussy Riot-style masks on statues at a Soviet Army monument.


"Huge damage has been done to the country's image and attractiveness for investors," former Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin wrote in a message posted on his website.


Protest leaders say Putin will not relax pressure on opponents in his new six-year term. Parliament has already rushed through laws increasing fines for protesters, tightening controls on the Internet, and imposing stricter rules on defamation.

I don't see why Nintendo would go through so much effort just to get the rights to Banjo....it is a great franchise but in terms of popularity its not like its in the league of Mario, Zelda, Metroid or Donkey Kong. So why would they have Retro make a new Banjo without even owning the rights to it yet?

Is it a Star Fox Adventures type deal, where a game was deep into development and then Nintendo decided "Hey, this would be great as a Bnajo game...oh wait, we don't own that franchise...get Microsoft on the phone"? Maybe this is actually the rumored Star Fox game that Retro was supposedly working on, and Nintnedo wants them to turn it into a Banjo game? That would explain why Retro hasn't shown a fucking thing since DKCR.

The whole thing smells...

Good point, that might explain the unlikely way the rumour was phrased before in having Retro work on a game where they didn't have the rights. Maybe there is a contingent at Rare which wants to make Banjo games and MS said no, so they optioned that they might give the licence back to Nintendo for a price? Or maybe this rumoured game is only in the planning phase and the instructions to Retro was to begin planning for a platform game, we are trying to get the Banjo rights, but if that's not possible just change the assets and switch it to a DK game? I know from reading about Metroid, they design all the levels in wireframe first, like that old Star Wars arcade game. They then playtest it to death before the artists even begin working on anything.

It's total BS, these girls went into the church and played a song for 40 seconds. They were fully clothed and all their song did was ask Mary to help Russia get Putin out of office. The whole thing is political BS.

Yeah, it seems we've reached the point where the PC versions are evidently superior to the console ones even without the developers going to extra lengths like Crytek
