Intense

July 18th is too far away…

So after years and years of shame and failure, it appears that Sega might have Sonic back on track with Sonic Unleashed.

I say might because there is little most fans can give them in the way of faith considering how pathetically the franchise has fallen over the years. At least this gameplay video shows the main character running really really fast for once instead of trying to save anime j-pop princesses or whatever the hell his last 3D game was about. The furry fan-fic is almost writing itself at this point and it’d be refreshing to have a Sonic game that we could play without feeling gross.

BEHOLD

For those of us with a DS, next week’s release of Ninja Gaiden for the DS is great news. It appears that Team Ninja has been able to carry over the frantic 3d action over to the little screen of the DS without any issues. The game is set to release on March 25th.

This is a welcome reminder that the DS is capable of more than cheap Bratz knock-offs and horrible movie-license games. Having cutscenes is a nice touch - it reminds me of the old NES games.

Here is some Game Developers Conference footage of Mario Kart for the wii. Looks pretty fun, although I’m not sure about the wheel controllers.

I don’t even know what to say at this point. This is either proof of an impending release or yet another part of 3DRealms’ epic prank to play a generation of gamers for morons. Take your pick.

I hope to be parking my bricks in some alien toilet sometime before 2017.

Do I really need to say anything? Just watch this.
