Travis Touchdown relives his trip to the top in this HD remake of the original No More Heroes video game!

There's not really much more to say, is there? Publisher Activision notes that the 8 million folks dabbled in Modern Warfare 2 during its first week of release, which outnumbers basically every major organized army on the planet, Activision gloats. Obviously, the publisher forgot to factor in Antarctica's Grand Army of the Penguins' Republic, currently numbering in the tens of millions but, in the interest of celebration, we're willing to overlook this oversight. On a side note, this is good news for Electronic Arts, because there's obviously a market for these newfangled war games.

96 stars in Super Mario World Man, what a pointless sidequest this was. Mario games aren’t known for really giving you anything all that amazing for going through the great lengths of sidequests, but Super Mario World really takes the cake. A little star next to my save file? Who the hell thought [...]

Toyglobe has confirmed that Jazwares is creating toys to celebrate the release of Sonic and SEGA All-Stars. It seems like they’re making a hell of a lot of toys, as well! You can check out the current lineup at the link below.

Could this be the first mention of Nintendo in North America? This comes from the NY Times, Oct 8th, 1955 printing… 30 short years later, the NY Times featured this bit… I can’t wait to get my hands on the Nintendo Robot Video System! Sounds like it’s going to be a blast.

A portion of a WiiLoveIt review… Overall, Spaceball: Revolution is a really strong contender in the pool of puzzle games on the WiiWare service. With impressive visuals, a robust selection of modes and challenging gameplay, you’d be hard-pressed to find better value for 800 Points. Virtual Toys should be proud of what they’ve done with this [...]

We have a hard enough time remembering which FPS Homefront is (it's the one that is basically Red Dawn, if you're curious) and THQ is apparently already thinking about the followup. According to Gamespot, THQ's core gaming chief Danny Bilson told the FBR Capital Markets 2009 Fall Investor Conference "It's the beginning of a story. We're going to tell this like a serial, with cliff-hangers. And then we intend to continue the story in [downloadable content], until we go to Homefront 2." The question that will remain unanswered until Homefront ships is, of course, will we be willing to go with them?

Yet another download title has been revealed for this Monday. Abylight has confirmed that Stop Stress: A Day of Fury will be available this Monday in North America for 800 Nintendo Points. I’m actually pretty interested in this game. Any other takers out there?

Now that Assassin's Creed II has been out amongst the crowds, slinking its way into millions of consoles, gamers are stumbling upon some of its secrets. While you may be stuck tracking down those last few feathers, others are discovering ancient beasts and, according to CVG, game-breaking glitches. Some gamers apparently found themselves stuck controlling Desmond in the Hideout after DNA Sequence 11, a direct result of shutting off their system after the game autosaved. When they later booted the game back up, they were unable to return to the Animus and continue Ezio's 15th century adventure. CVG didn't comment on whether this was affecting Xbox 360 or PS3 gamers, or both. We've contacted Ubisoft to see if this is the first it's heard of the issue and also urge you to contact us if you've encountered it.

A unique and sometimes chilling re-imagining of Konami's classic horror game.

We want Ubisoft to wrap up the trilogy right. Here's how.

Sunsoft is coming back, with the help of Victor Ireland's Gaijinworks. The publisher plans to bring its brand back to prominence initially by re-releasing classics. The first? Blaster Master on Virtual Console. Sunsoft plans to launch the NES action title this month. Through its new website, the company plans to offer prizes and "exclusive, limited edition premiums," which reminds us of Ireland's former company, the swag-heavy Working Designs. More game launches will be announced soon. "This first Wii release is a great start," Ireland said. "But there is one upcoming announcement in particular that will demonstrate just how serious (Sunsoft CEO Kiharu) Yoshida-san is about rebuilding the Sunsoft console gaming brand here."

One day…one far off day…we might get a localized version of Sukeban Shachou Rena. That is, if we pay enough attention to it now. I don’t care if you can’t read Japanese. I can’t either, and this comic is still fun!

The word of the day is: get!

Starting Monday through the end of the year, people who bust a funky move on over to Adult Swim's site will be able to download a free mix tape, courtesy of Rockstar's Beaterator. The tracks were hand-selected by both Rockstar and Adult Swim, and two of them -- Cee-Lo's "Hello Miss (Armani XXXChange remix)" and Good Time Guys' "Is That You God? (Dabrye remix)" -- will even be compatible with the PSP game. Hit the break for the list of all 17 tracks you'll be able to score from December 7 until January 1, 2010.

While the above headline is true, you'll probably have to squint your eyes a bit to see it. You see, someone at GameStop had the particularly brilliant idea of making an application that can plaster your face directly over the famous (infamous?) Nintendo 64 kid. What kid, you ask? You know the one. Yeah, that one. Or, if you're like us, you can always use a picture of a cat. Apart from the video being holiday themed, we're not sure how the application will help GameStop sell games. But, then again, we don't really care. We just put a cat face on N64 Kid's face. What more could you want? [Via GoNintendo]
