Well, that’s one half of the equation! Looks like we will be getting that special edition DSi XL here in the states, just with a different game bundle. No listing for the red Wii coming, but let’s hope that pops up soon.

A portion of a Pixlbit review…
Those who have no familiarity with the title or have played the remake should skip this Wii port, while others who enjoyed the original might want to check out this update to see how the gameplay has evolved.
Despite what you may have thought, Alec Trevelyan reminds us (and consequently, James Bond) that it's really not about protecting "Queen and country" -- it's all about "the bankers and their bonuses." It's also all about stopping a satellite weapon from being fired.

On the occassion of the silver anniversary of Super Mario Bros., Nintendo has put out this video celebrating the most famous glitches of the original, ones that first spread not by Internet or message boards, but grade school lunch tables. More »

Fooling around in NBA 2K11, I picked the 1990 Atlanta Hawks for one reason: Dominique Wilkins. Sure, the Hawks had Moses Malone late in his career, but let's be honest. You play this team for the Human Highlight Reel. More »
You may be feeling one of two (valid) concerns about Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage, even if you're tentatively interested in the title.
It might get repetitive like other Warriors games.
You might not want to see that many people explode like water balloons full of blood.
Luckily, Tecmo Koei is giving you an easy, low-risk way to find out if your concerns bear out: a demo. On October 19, the publisher will release a demo for the manga-inspired massacre game on both PSN and XBLA. It won't take you long to determine your tolerance for both bloodsplosions and endless waves of punchables.

I dunno, they're both kinda smooshy? They also form the title of a video game burlesque show running this weekend and the next two in Chicago. Can we officially call this a fad? Tickets here. Seen via Reddit. More »

Preordering Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood delivers you the Harlequin for use in multiplayer. Should you lay down your $5 there for this bonus? This video gives you a little more to think about - and a nice view of Rome's architecture. More »
I’m sure this is going to turn a few heads. Walking out of the store with this bad-boy might make people just a tad uneasy. Plopping down in front of your TV with a sniper rifle might have a negative impact on those around you as well!
Here’s a few snippets from the NGamer review of Sonic Colors…

It's Friday, which means it's Pizza Night in America. Sure, a slice of 'za is a great way to cap off the week, but some people prefer their unwinding to be a bit more slaughterful. So we'd like to point out the latest Left 4 Dead 2 mutation: Hunting Party.
This mutation simplifies the horde by turning all of the Special Infected into Hunters. No Boomers, no Smokers, no Jockeys, just the sheer agony of listening to screeching, nimble Hunters like so many dozens of nails scratching against so many dozens of chalkboards. And the tearing -- oh, why all of the tearing?
This Japanese zine by Junji Okubo is for the hardest of the hardcore videogame players, the SHMUP enthusiasts. Each 2-page spread is dedicated to a ship from a different retro shooter. The original pixel art is in the corner, and a beautiful 3D recreation is soaring above it.

Still trying to sell the DS to people who don't typically play games, Nintendo has plans for an application linking the DS with a supermarket's inventory so users can simplify their shopping list and find what they need more easily. More »
You probably don't need to buy 11 games this weekend, but for the low-low asking price of (approximately) $41, GOG.com is offering a smattering of Rebellion's titles. The entire Empire Earth series, Judge Dredd's battle against an entire planet, and Evil Genius (among others) are on sale for 30 percent off individually or 50 percent off in a big ol' bundle. Forget about Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and next week's Vanquish -- you've got strategy games to play. For, like, ever.
The sale ends Monday at 11:59PM EDT, so get on it before these good old games go back to more appropriate prices.

There's no way on earth we're going to get out of here tonight. We'd have more luck playing pickup sticks with our buttcheeks than we will getting a flight out of here before daybreak. More »

Surprise. Gran Turismo 5 is delayed again. That may not be news in the ironic sense, but it is in terms of what folks were talking about at the beauty parlor and feed store, if gamers gathered in such places. More »
