Gunblade NY: Special Air Assault Force and L.A Machineguns: Rage of the Machines dated for Australia
Jul 032010
Gunblade NY: Special Air Assault Force and L.A Machineguns: Rage of the Machines are ready to bring some old-school arcade action to your Wii. We already know what the situation is in the states, but what about our gaming friends down under? Well, we now know that they can look forward to an August 26th release date, which is just two days after the game hits in the states.
I’m still reeling over the fact that Sony wants to work with Nintendo to promote 3D gaming. I can’t believe the company is upset that Nintendo is making comments about 3D glasses, and how you don’t need them for the 3DS. As I said on the podcast yesterday, Nintendo would be smart to distance themselves completely from Sony as far as 3D goes. One 3D setup involves getting a new TV and glasses, which will run you thousands of dollars. The other option doesn’t need glasses, and will most likely cost less than $250. Which makes more sense to you?

Still nothing official coming from High Voltage or SEGA, but this seems like a plausible date. We’ll keep an eye out for an official confirmation. Thanks to Chased for the heads up!

Well, it looks like Dragon Quest IX is going to get a little more promotion from GameStop. As of right now, the link above is not active. I’m sure that will change this weekend, as the game is set to launch very soon! Thanks to Kutage for the heads up.

I don’t know why it took so long to get this done. There have been other fan-ports in the past, but nothing that actually kept Super Mario Bros. intact as we know it. Now, time for Nintendo to shut it down! Thanks to Kolma for the heads up!

You may very well remember an old issue of GamePro that featured a 2-page article that completely debunked SEGA’s talk of ‘blast processing’ on the Genesis. Back in the day, SEGA pushed blast processing as the reason why Sonic was so fast, and that the SNES didn’t have blast processing.
Well, the article above puts all that talk to bed, and explains why blast processing isn’t real, and how the SNES could handle anything that the Genesis could. The most interesting part about this article? It’s actually a two-page advertisement, and not a magazine feature! I think it’s obvious that the Big N was behind this feature, but I’d love to know how much they paid for it! Thanks to Wiggymaster for the heads up!
