Looks ok on this vid,a bit slow though...but only $7

Next gen handheld vs iphone fight will be interesting...$40 with good controls vs $7 with not so good touchscreen controls

Some other news
Quote
THQ's just said it's planning to bring its experimental MX vs. ATV pricing model to "another major franchise".

The publisher launched MX vs. ATV: Alive in The States at a lower than usual RRP of $39.99 (£25), the plan being that it'd grow a larger install base for the title and make more money via DLC.

Core games boss Danny Bilson told press at a New York City event this afternoon that, despite telling a whole room full of people about the plans to put the price point on another franchise, this is "not an official announcement".The game in question will probably be released in 2012, he added

It's a bit obnoxiously Web 2.0, but I can't bring myself to hate on a logo that isn't simply the company name spelled out in Helvetica.  It has some nice negative space and is relatively unique, even if the Q reminds me of the old Phillies insignia.

It's UFC Undisputed.

That wouldn't surprise me, especially if they're going to a longer release cycle. Basic roster of ~50 guys. Buy packs of 5 extra @ $5 a weight class, buy more arenas, buy more fight camps/sponsors. Every 3-4 months a new pack of fighters is released, there's another $5-10. It could work, especially since it skews older than Smackdown v Raw.

I'll be very shocked if they put in an extra character from FF5 and it's not Gilgamesh.

same!
if they pick a FF6 character i would like them to do ultros since let's face it,he stands a lot more than other FF6 character and/or enemies but i'm not sure how you would go into making a giant purple octopus playable...

I just installed Tron 2.0. So good. Not couch-compatible though, 360 controller has major deadzone and button mapping issues. KB&M it is.

My wireless keyboard is just so bothersome to use while lounging on my couch. I fear I need one of those Keyboard/Joystick hybrids, ugly and expensive as they are. Mouse on thigh works, but leaves no place for keyboard. :-\ I guess I could always just get fatter...

Anyways, I plan on  replaying that bitch until I get to that one sequence where you have to hop around on disintegrating platforms while being shot at, die several times, then quicksave over my only recent save while in flight to a messy death, then throw a hissy fit and abandon it; again. Gonna be awesome.

Wii gamers will be disappointed to discover that Harmonix on pulling Rock Band Network support for the Wii as of next week.

Apparently it's not worth the effort to bring these songs to the Wii or so says Rock Band staffer Aaron Trites who broke the news on his twiter.

"Next Tuesday, 1/18/2010, will also be the last scheduled batch of Rock Band Network songs brought over to the Wii," said Trites

"With the smaller online install base, limited demand for releases so far and the significant amount of work it takes for our producers and audio team to convert and process these additional tracks we're no longer able to continue submitting RBN content to the Wii. Regular Wii DLC, and RBN releases for the 360 and PS3 will continue uninterrupted."

Probably because the other platforms make positive cash flow on their dlc, while the Wii dlc does not.  It's pretty simple.

360 versions are far and away the best sellers.  Wii versions sell 2nd best, particularly applause-worthy with RB1, which had a a screwed up late release on Wii.  Rounded for safety.

Wii
RB - 1 million +
RB2 - 850k

PS3
RB - 650k
RB2 - 580k

360
RB - 1.7 million
RB2 - 1.4 million

Now, Guitar Hero, those have sold best on Wii, and by a good measure, too.

Thanks for the correction, I think I was reading some outdated information.  Not vgcharts, mind you.

toweled it and it works now, it was a weird rrod because it started blinking anywhere from 30 seconds to a couple of mintues after being turned on, i wonder if it "died" because i shut it down in between transitioning from game to dash

Coming from a country so strongly associated with a prevailing sense of inner-fealty, the proliferation of such comments is somewhat alarming. It was not that long ago that Japan's interactive entertainment industry could have been seen as a defiant dragon; a beast rising angrily towards the heavens, crackling with growing power charged from the burst economic bubble of the 1980s.

There is some Square-Enix event today,streaming is just for "special people"

Andriasang is covering it,but the webpage seems slow...i wonder why?? :lol
Should start in few minutes(non-streaming part)

copy paste from vg247

Quote
Square Enix has just kicked off its First Production Department press conference. Hit the break for all of the news.

To kick things off, the publisher showed a video of Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep: Final Mix for PSP. This is the international version of the game that will release in Japan.

Square producer Shinji Hashimoto arrived on stage with two voice-actors who act as MCs to the event. He also mentioned previously confirmed release dates of BBS: Final Mix – launcing tomorrow in Japan – as well as Final Fantasy V on Virtual Console today and Final Fantasy IV: The Collection on March 24.

Hashimoto then announced that the two main Square development teams in Tokyo and Osaka have merged together to be one larger group. It won’t mean they’ll work on the same games, however.

Tai Yasue, Birth By Sleep’s director, then showed up on stage to show off a new video of Kingdom Hearts 3DS. It now has a full title: Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance.

Square also explained how 3D will be used, such as flying, falling, jumping, etc.

Next up: Dissidia 012: Final Fantasy. Director Takahashi Mitsunori’s just appeared on stage. A new video is being shown right now.

Quote
A demo of the fighter, Dissidia 012 Prologus, was then announced. It’s a premium demo for PSP, but is bigger then a normal demo. It’s available today for 300 yen.
:rofl
Quote
If you buy Prologus, you unlock Aerith as an Assist Character in the full game

Surprise

But Cave game developer (and all around handsome man) Makoto Asada seems less than pleased with Microsoft of late, his anger being vented at a nebulous "M company" on Twitter.

When asked directly about the vague outbursts, Asada tells Kotaku, not attempting to fan the flames, "There's a limit to how many unreasonable requests you have to respond to and we hope they realize that soon."

Continuing, he adds, "We're frustrated at having to fix things as a result of human error on Microsoft's side." Cave did not elaborate any further.

I bet the second DFK patch failed certification. Or maybe the Black Label DLC.

I dunno, if it wasn't SE and FF I'd agree, but SE seems adamant about bringing their PSP titles over to retail in the US, probably because they have such high budgets and they need all the extra sales they can get.

I mean 3rd Birthday is coming out.  Tactics Ogre is coming out.  Both with retail releases.  I don't see the face of retail changing all that much by the end of the year.

Assuming that PSP2 can emulate PSP,they could release it for both,digitally...Wii had something like that with Zelda

3DS will change the retail,something will get the boot...the weakest platform,DS will stay
Besides I don't see Sony "pushing" PSP if PSP2 gets announced,this game would be good for PSP2
