Let’s turn to the back of the box to find out… “Beginner players can be at ease thanks to the inclusion of “Otehon Play” (Guided Play). If you get stuck, Guided Play will suport you. Luigi will give you hints as to how to tackle the courses.” Super Guide sounds a lot more fun, don’t you think?

Ellark is a mobile MMO title that Square-Enix developed, and it looks like they’re using it to spread the word of FFCC: The Crystal Bearers. As you can see, a pair of Crystal Bearer characters have made the jump into Ellark, albeit in sprite form. Well, if the Wii game is always a flop, at [...]

Deux posted up some new scans of Spirit Tracks earlier in the night, but I wanted to bring some attention to this. Looks like Niko might be making a return! Either that, or it’s a descendant of Niko…that just so happens to wear the same clothes!

It seems like only yesterday when players were complaining about Trophy-related issues in the PS3 version of Modern Warfare 2. Wait a sec -- it was yesterday. According to a tweet by Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling, a "trophy update" has been released. However, while said update fixes one problem, it apparently creates another. "It killed all multiplayer activity on MW2," tipster True_Darknight tells Joystiq. Today, launching the multiplayer mode from our own PS3 copy of Modern Warfare 2 did indeed prove futile, as we stared at the matchmaking screen for about five minutes before finally giving up.According to Bowling, PS3 owners can expect a "party invite update by Friday," which should hopefully resolve this issue. Until then, players will have to make due with the single-player campaign. It's not like this "multiplayer" thing is important, right?Update: Tipster Kenneth B. pointed us to a tweet from Activision support that says the MW2 outage is "totally unrelated to the patch." While this means a fix can be done before Friday, he admits "we don't have a hard ETA on the servers coming back up." We'll be keeping track of this problem, but don't forget to send us your tips.Update 2: Tipster Brent point us to yet another tweet, this time from Robert Bowling who confirms the multiplayer downtime is caused by server overload. According to Bowling, "Xbox Live servers are maintained and ran by Microsoft. PSN servers are ran and maintained by 3rd party companies hired to do so." Seems this mysterious "3rd party" infrastructure simply cannot match the Microsoft-funded backbone of Xbox Live.Update 3: It appears everything is finally fully operational. For more details, check out this updated story.

No, this isn’t the title of a Resident Evil 4.5 game. This is an article about remembering an excellent (for the most part) franchise and what it has done to us all and the industry. Not as good as my swan song, but it’s worth a read for any fan.
