Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will be released on November 13th, 2012 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. And like rumor has suggested, the game will be set in the near future, a first for the series!
This is a time when “21st Century Cold War technology and weapons have converged to create a new generation of warfare.”
Known locations are reported to include Los Angeles (in flames) and global settings that include Afghanistan, Japan and China. Surely among many others.
Black Ops 2 was officially unveiled during the TNT NBA Playoffs
Here is the reveal trailer showing the first gameplay footage and first solid information on the upcoming game.
What do you think? Is it a step back? Too early to judge?

If you know me, you know that there are TONS AND TONS of videogames I’ve never played. Sadly, although I consider myself to be a “hardcore” gamer, I really am not compared to most “gamers”. The reason for that is because, unlike other more productive people, I can never seem to find the time to play games. Period.
In fact, my most played system as of late has been my Nintendo 3DS, and that’s simply because it is the easiest system to play when I’m sitting on the throne…. And cause I’m a hardcore Nintendo fanboy to boot.
So I thought it would be fun to go through some of the games I’d LOVE to play and still plan on playing someday, but never have up to this point and why I want to play them. Maybe I’ll get to them at some point, and hopefully soon; but maybe not. We’ll see. Enjoy.
EPISODE #1 – EARTHBOUND
Released: November 1995 (USA), August 27, 1994 (Japan)
System: Super Nintendo
Re-Released: As part of Mother I&II Collection for Game Boy Advance (Japan-only)
Genre: RPG
Developed By: Nintendo, Ape, HAL Laboratory
Publisher: Nintendo
Is There A Digital Version?: Not legally, ROM & Emulator for play on the PC are easy to find however. It has never been officially re-released.
The elusive EarthBound (Mother 2) cartridge... worth lots of money these days.
Why EarthBound?
EarthBound is one of those cult-classic videogames that literally everyone should play… regardless of whether you like Japanese Role-Playing Games or not. Despite what the title says and the premise of this “On the Cutting Room Floor” series, EarthBound is actually a game I have played through MULTIPLE times. However it remains on the cutting room floor for me because I have NEVER finished it.
Unlike many others, I actually own a SNES EarthBound cart (along with the box) that I bought for $15 in 1998 at Blockbuster. Back then I was pissed because I assumed the big box meant it came with the Strategy Guide/Instruction Book pictured on the front of the box… but it was not meant to be as the box didn’t contain that guide. Believe it or not, me in my naive-to-the-future-worth-of-the-epic-game-he-held-in-his-hands youth ALMOST took the game back. I was literally about to hightail it back to the store and return it because I was so disappointed at not having the book. Even back in those days, my early teen years, I had that collector’s streak pumping through my veins, and I wanted my games to be complete with the box AND instructions.
A typical EarthBound battle looks like this.... that's the dreaded Territorial Oak enemy! *shivers*
Thankfully, I wisely kept the game, figuring that it would be really fun and cool to play (as I had read in gaming magazines) and I’d just have to do without the instruction book. Wise choice young grasshopper me, wise choice!
EarthBound is one of the most unique games you will ever play. It has a self-deprecating, breaking-the-fourth-wall streak running throughout that makes the writing extremely laugh-out-loud funny and more witty and interesting than most games… certainly than most RPGs of the day. The game is a typical JRPG, with turn-based battles (seen in the first person perspective, and menu-driven), a focus on talking to every villager you encounter, and an epic quest, but the modern America setting of the game is what made EarthBound really stand out.
A typical screenshot of talking to villagers in EarthBound's first town of Onett.
EarthBound is not a fantasy game, it is a literal modern-day adventure of four kids spelunking through the oddest of occurrences; crashing meteors, alien visitors, zombie apocalypse, roadrunning jazz bands, haunted malls, color-blue-worshiping cults… it’s actually a sci-fi game in reality, although the science fiction aspect doesn’t really override the rest of the tale due to the fact that the game generally stays in a modern-day, city setting throughout. It is the worlds you explore in EarthBound however, the cities, that play as much a role in the game as anything else. Each city, Onette, Twoson, Threed, Fourside, is like a character in itself because of the unique themes of each.
Overall, EarthBound is arguably the game I want to MOST FINISH of all the games I have. Sadly, I started on the game many, many times using my SNES cartridge, but the cart has ALWAYS deleted my saved games from the beginning. It’s been an eternal heartbreaker. I had resisted pirating the game (which in my case is legal because I own the original cart) for the longest time in the hope that Nintendo would re-release a digital version… but they never did.
A JRPG with city buildings, hamburgers, stop signs and streets? Believe it.
So last year I finally broke down and downloaded the ROM and an emulator, and finally got to experience the game without the threat of my save file being erased…. I tried ONE LAST TIME to play it on the actual SNES… but somehow something always ends up happening that causes the game to freeze (accidentally bumping the system, accidentally moving the powercord… one time our freakin’ cat jumped on it and that was that) so that was the last straw for me and I went the route most EarthBound fans had long-taken; the route of a pirate. I still prefer to play games with a controller (THE controller) so I’m not a fan of the keyboard controls, but having new features like the ability to speed up time or save anywhere is definitely welcome.
EarthBound has such a charming, simple look to it. This is Ness' sister's room.
Hopefully Nintendo will re-release the game soon for the 3DS eShop, can you imagine how much of a killer-app it’d be? And while they’re at it they should flatout REMAKE the game and all-three Mother titles and release it for 3DS, Wii or Wii U… the Western world never got the original EarthBound, called Mother in Japan, or the Japan-only sequel to EarthBound called Mother 3 for Game Boy Advance, which is criminal. Of course, illegally, an English version of “EarthBound Zero” for NES via emulator exists, as does English ROM’s of Mother 3…. both of which I own.
One of these days soon I’ll actually sit down and record myself playing through the whole game. Last time I stopped simply cause I got sidetracked, but with my new site here that is SUPPOSED to be focused on watching me play games… I definitely intend on allowing you to watch me play it.
Here is a look at EarthBound in action! Alongside the awesome intro.

———— Original Story
The new Soul Calibur V downloadable content will allow you to outfit your characters in Namco’s weapon-based fighter to look similar to those in their fisticuffs fighter… and boy does it look awesome!
Just seeing a character (Nightmare I think?) decked out to look like King is worth the price of admission alone IMHO! These will surely hit America soon (if they aren’t already out), they are available in Japan right now at a cost of ¥400/240MSP (PS3 and Xbox 360 respectively) for both the Modern Costume Set and Ancient Armor Set. Snazzy!
Will you be paying for the ability to deck your Soul Calibur character in Tekken?
You got your Tekken in my Soul Calibur V! This time its Xiaoyu!
New Play Control: Pikmin 2 (Or Pikmin 2: New Play Control!) will be released in America this June 2012, announced Nintendo of America exclusively for Wii.
This comes four years after the game was released in other territories, including Europe and Japan. However America had to go without the game, and it was assumed that it would never hit American shores… Thankfully, Nintendo has seen the light!
Part of the reason why Pikmin 2 Wii was never released here was due to the fact that the game was full of licensed objects, and Nintendo would have to re-obtain the right to use those objects in order to release the game in the U.S., either that or change the objects to remove any sign of them being licensed. Which one of these became the eventual reality is unknown for now, but we’ll find out soon when Pikmin 2 Wii finally launches. I’ll update this piece when we get an exact day for the release date.
In Pikmin 2 command an army of insects to collect treasures as Olimar or Louie.
Like with the other games in the New Play Control series, Pikmin 2 has been upgraded with new controls that make use of the Wii Pointer to play the game, meaning you can simply point and click to throw Pikmin and select your flower-insect army, making the game much easier to control.
A few other additions may have been added as well. The original Pikmin 1: New Play Control featured the added ability to go back and replay each level you’ve completed to shoot for a higher score; a feature absent from the original GameCube version. So that feature likely returns in New Play Control: Pikmin 2. Hopefully Nintendo will include a few other additions or extras as a thank you for American gamers who had to wait so long for the US release of Pikmin 2 Wii.
In the game players command an army of unique “Pikmin” creatures, which look like a cross between an ant and a plant. They grow in several stages and become stronger as they grow (bud and flower versions, with the latter being the strongest), and come in a variety of types. Each Pikmin type has different properties: Blue Pikmin don’t drown in water, Red Pikmin resist fire and Yellow Pikmin float farther, can be thrown higher and can pick up “Bomb Flowers”. Two new variaties of Pikmin, Purple Pikmin and White Pikmin, are added to the roster in Pikmin 2.
Pikmin 2 also added a new character, Louie, as well as Captain Olimar from the original. Like in the first game, the goal in Pikmin 2 is to amass an army of Pikmin, use your army to swarm and defeat enemies, take the pellets they leave behind back to your “Pikmin Onion” spaceships to blossom more Pikmin (the Onion shoots out seeds from Pikmin pellets that plant into the ground, then grow into Pikmin) and eventually find certain objects and trinkets that must be carried back to your base to accomplish your objective. Pikmin 2 also introduced an all-new two-player battle multiplayer mode. One would hope Nintendo would make the multiplayer mode online-enabled for this Pikmin 2: New Play Control U.S. release, but that’s highly doubtful.
Here’s a look at the European version of New Play Control: Pikmin 2.
Harley Quinn's Revenge, Batman Arkham City's final DLC, lands May 29, 2012. Will be included in the Game of the Year Edition
Batman: Arkham City – Game of the Year Edition has been officially announced, releasing on May 29th for Xbox 360 and PS3 in America. Europe will get the game on September 7th.
Those who still have not yet played Arkham City, the sequel to the award-winning, critically acclaimed, highly-rated Batman: Arkham Asylum, will definitley be happy to have the “Game of the Year” Edition to pick up instead, as it will include every update to the game that has been released digitally since Batman: Arkham City’s launch last year in October.
In addition to all of the game updates being included, the Game of the Year Edition will also include all of the post-released DLC. Downloadable Content that will be included on the disc at no extra charge includes the Catwoman, Nightwing and Robin add-ons, in addition to all of the Arkham City Skin and Challenge packs.
All of this is par for the course as far as Game of the Year Editions are concerned, and one of the reasons why some gamers opt to wait a year or so to buy a game instead of getting it new at launch, because you basically get a better value; recieving all of the paid DLC for free and included on the disc instead of having to shell out loads of cash for each new expansion or add-on for the game… Of course, the downside being that you have to wait a whole year to play something everyone else is raving about.
Batman: Arkham City Game of the Year Edition Releases May 29, 2012 (Xbox 360, PS3)
But making this Batman: Arkham City – Game of the Year Edition an even sweeter deal is that fact that it will include the “Batman: Year One” full animated movie! (Note that this will be included only on the American and Canadian releases of the game). This is a very cool bonus indeed. In addition, the Arkham City Game of the Year Edition will include the FINAL DLC for the game entitled “Harley Quinn’s Revenge”, which will come included on the disc (those who own a previous version of the game will have to buy it as DLC when it launches on May 29th at a price of 800 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360 on the Xbox Live Marketplace or $10 on PSN for PS3).
“The Harley Quinn’s Revenge story mission brings players back to Arkham City where they will play as Batman and Robin, fighting against new thugs in fresh environments. Players will make use of each character’s unique skills on their way to uncovering Harley’s evil plan.”
Here is a the announcement trailer for Batman: Arkham City – Game of the Year Edition.
Batman: Arkham City was a huge hit, garnering a myriad of awards and besting the previous game, Arkham Asylum, by most people’s estimations. The game was released for Xbox 360 and PS3 on October 18th, 2011 with the PC version landing on November 22nd, 2011. Batman: Arkham City has shipped over 6 million units worldwide and has sold close to 7 million copies thus far across all three versions, with the PS3 version selling the best (according to VGChartz).
They've infected our REAL life, it's Agent Smith, RUNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!
3DS owners will be happy to know that even though Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 are regular DS games and NOT 3DS games, they will still be getting some fun Pokemon Black and White-related 2 games to play around with that DO work with the 3DS as revealed at the Japanese Nintendo Direct Conference.
First up is an AR Game that will be released via the eShop on June 23rd in Japan for $300 (about $4). It’s called “Pokemon AR Searcher”. In this little AR Game (Alternate Reality, games that use the 3DS two cameras to make it appear that you are interacting with a game character in the real world) you simply use the 3DS camera to look around the room and spot Pokemon hidden in your environment. They will appear as shadows or silhouettes. You will then need to point your 3DS at them and capture them by shooting a beam of light at the Pokemon.
Now you can keep great tabs on ALL your Pokemon!
It’s not known if there is more to it than that, I would assume there is. But any Pokemon that you capture this way can then be transferred to Pokemon Black and White 2 for your DS. Nintendo says this will be a great way to catch some rare Pokemon in an easy manner. It’s not know if you will be able to tell what Pokemon you will capture by the shape of its silhouette, and it’s also not known exactly WHAT Pokemon, the bird Pokemon, appears in that Pokemon AR Searcher screenshot. Seems like it may be a new one.
In addition to Pokemon AR Searcher, Nintendo announced an upgraded version of “Pokedex 3D”! Except, this one won’t be free, you’ll have to pay for it. It comes out in Japan on July 14th and cost ¥1,500 or about $18 (Yikes…, the American version may be cheaper than that though. Let’s hope). The big deal here is that the Pokedex has been COMPLETELY updated to contain EVERY.SINGLE.POKEMON. That’s right, not just the Unova Pokemon but every Pokemon. Obviously, this will make Pokemon fans extremely happy.
Here is the initial gameplay trailer for Pokemon Black & White 2.
When porn and monkey balls meet. o_O O_O O_o *facepalm*
Oh Japan. You so silly. What would we do without you?
Seriously, WHAT… THE HELL… would we do without you? Probably live a less shameful life…. that’s for DAMN SURE…. and if you don’t know what I’m referring to (like that’s possible, cause you somehow missed the beautiful half-dressed Asian model and her boobs popping awkwardly off the videogame screenshot and into your face) then just…. just…. FEAST DEM EYES!
Cause a feast it is. A feast. For the eyes.
Super Monkey Ball Vita's Adult Mood. No it isn't April 1st.
Okay okay, I’ll try to get serious for one second. As serious as you can be when discussing monkeys in balls and saying it with absolutely no sexual innuendo intended… cause you know. Monkeys. In balls. Plastic ones. And they roll around. Collecting bananas. GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER.
… what do you mean you can’t? Oh you’re watching the video. Okay I understand. Just keep that fap fap fapping down in there. Your mom might hear.
Ahem. So in what has to be quite possibly the strangest move I’ve ever seen a developer make (gay homosexual penis-filled shoot ‘em ups not withstanding. We’re talking about Japan here, mind)… okay strangest move I’ve ever seen a GIANT, “AAA”, household name, largely family-friendly developer ever make…. The house that Sonic built… Where’s Sonic you ask? Sonic’s in the closet. Crying his cute little eyes out cause you just robbed his dignity.
Sega has announced that the newest Super Monkey Ball game, that’d be “Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz” (*facepalm*) for the PS Vita, will contain… An “ADULT MODE”. You heard me right. Why they didn’t just throw in the whole kitten and caboodle and go fully nude, hardcore XXX pornographic on us is lost on me, but someone working at Sega had the bright idea to come up with a “hardcore” “Adult Mode” in which a sexually-charged, strategically posed, half-naked, tiny-bikini-clad Asian of unspeakable beauty would be staring directly at the player in photographic form from every surface in which the Monkey rolls his balls. Erhm. I mean, rolls his ball. Over the hills and yonder. Yeah. THOSE HILLS. Aaaaaa. Get it? THOSE HILLS. Like, you know. Boobs. BOOBS.
Balls. Monkeys. Petite Asian Girls In Bikinis. Skin. Bananas. It all sounds so wrong!
Okay I have to say it… What in the HELL is Sega thinking? I have a REALLY hard time believing this whole thing is actually real, but no… these screenshots boaring their holes into your eyesockets ARE real. And yes, it DOES look like a little monkey permanantly sealed in a small plastic ball is getting ready to roll atop…. atop… physical, popping-up, hill-like BREASTS that are just planted in the middle of the screen as if they were normal everyday videogame obstacles. I mean okay okay, it’s an “Adult Mode”. I can’t say I’m “surprised”. But really? REALLY Sega? REALLY? I mean just look at it… You mean to tell me this isn’t made by some 13-year-old kid in his basement? Created while he was sitting on a stack of Playboys? With NO PANTS.
Anyway, reportedly this whole thing all came about due to the BEAUTY that is ravaging your eyes right now, and how she has been a spokeperson for the Super Monkey Ball series (or this lattest PS Vita version in particular) for a while now. Oh and apparently she’s well known in the land where beautiful people reside (i.e. Japanese girls). She’s a smokin’, cute-as-a-button, so-sexy-I-want-to-move-to-Japan-right-now-permanantly gal who pretends to play a PS Vita with Super Monkey Ball on it for a few seconds to draw attention to their new little game in commercials and print-ads. Nice gig she has eh?
God she's so precious. Can I have one? "Yes Timmy but keep it under the sheets."
Her name is Yukie Kawamura. Not that you cared about that. What do you mean you’re googling her right now? Dude. DUDE. NSFW. COVER THE SCREEN WITH YOUR HANDS! Ahem. Given that she’s a smokin’ hot Bikini model (and God knows what else), Sega obviously did a little 1+1=2 and thought they’d stick her in the game on this special “Adult Mode” map and tell everyone that you can only get this SPECIAL (oh so special) version of the game if you buy a copy of Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz for PS Vita that was produced during the first initial print-run. Yes. That’s right little boys. Run! RUN TO THE STORE AND PRE-ORDER THE GAME! Who am I kiddin’? I’ll bet it’s already sold out…. Well played Sega. WELL PLAYED.
So yeah, I mean, you put two and two together… and…. you know. YOU GET….
THIS.
There are no words.
Thanks Japan.
Now watch her squeal like a girl!
By the way, did I mention that if you pre-order the game or get your hands on one of the initial print-runs, it comes with a promocard that has the code printed on it to download this uber-special softcore Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz PS Vita map? It’s not quite DLC. No that’s not the point. STOP. And look. THIS is what the code is printed on. And there are three versions. THREE VERSIONS. Now to quote someone’s youtube comment from the trailer you just watched…. “*sigh* Goddammit Japan!”
Super Monkey Ball. Adult Mode Style. Go ahead. Play yourself.
At least I didn’t say “here’s a video of Yuki playing herself” like other websites did. I got more class than that. Yes I did post each and every picture of Yuki. What do you mean you thought this was a Christian site? :D What do you mean I have God selected as a category? Well that’s because God’s watching son. GOD’S WATCHING.
Power Ranger-like Kamen Rider Generation 2 game for PS Vita & DS
Kamen Rider is the fan-loved, infinitely edgier Japanese-only version of Power Rangers… in Japan Power Rangers is known as “Super Sentai” and has been running since the 1970s (stuff that in your pipe and smoke it). It’s okay. You learn something new everyday!
And Power Rangers itself is simply a style of show that is known as “sentai”, a sentai or Super Sentai-style show is a show, like Power Rangers (the most familiar one to Westerners) where people dress up in elaborate costumes and perform superhero-like feats. You could think of Godzilla as an early example of what I mean. Power Rangers has been by far the most popular American sentai, although we have gotten others. Any kid of the 90s (or an 80s kid like me) will recall other Power Ranger style shows such as VR Troopers, Beetle Borgs, The Masked Rider, Ultraman, Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog, Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad, etc.
Looks awesome doesn't it? :D
Anyway, because Kamen Rider is a Japanese series, the likelihood of us getting this new DS and PS Vita version is zilch, but the game actually looks quite awesome in screenshots. I’m a big Power Ranger fan, but I’ve never seen Kamen Rider (a show who’s following has grown exponentially since anime has grown in popularity and many a young American watches plenty of Japanese, Korean, etc. anime and live-action shows online)… blasphemous I know.
Feast your eyes on some screenshots of “Kamen Rider: Rider Generation 2″, the second Kamen Rider game. Definitely looks like it’s a beat-em up. I like beat-em ups. :D
Beat-em ups are nice. Me likes.
Here’s a video of the American version of Kamen Rider…. which I JUST FOUND OUT existed! :O LOOKS FREAKIN’ AWESOME! I gotta go cop that! :P The show airs on the CW in their 4Kids block on Saturdays at 9:30am or so.
Now here is a look at the Japanese Kamen Rider…. in a cheesy music video. Oh well.
Mario Tennis: Open releases May 20th, 2012 for 3DS. Great artwork huh!
Mario Tennis Open will be released in America on May 20th, 2012 exclusively for 3DS. The game is the latest installment in what is arguably Nintendo’s most popular Mario Sports series. SPOILERS, PROCEED WITH CAUTION
(scroll to the very end to see screenshots of most of the game’s characters, avoid scrolling completely to the bottom of this article if you don’t want to see them).
Mario Tennis Open follows previous Mario Tennis games including the original Mario Tennis (N64, 2000) and Mario’s Tennis (Virtual Boy, 1995), Mario Tennis GB (Game Boy Color, 2001), Mario Power Tennis (GameCube, 2004), Mario Tennis: Power Tour (Game Boy Advance, 2005) and the Wii re-release of the GameCube game, called “Mario Power Tennis: New Play Control!”, released in 2009; A version that added gesture controls to the game, making it feel similar to Wii Sports. Additionally, the original Mario Tennis was re-released for the Wii Virtual Console in 2010.
So Mario Tennis Open for 3DS is effectively the 5th installment in this hit sports game series. If you’ve ever played a Mario Tennis game, then you’ll know exactly what to expect in Mario Tennis: Open, as the game seems to play essentially exactly the same as before.
Here’s some old footage of Mario Tennis: Open from when the game was first announced.
A new camera has been added to give you better depth perception since you’ll be playing the game in Stereoscopic, Glasses-Free 3D on the handheld, and the game also feature touchscreen controls (that allow you to select what type of shot you want to make… Lob, Topspin, Simple Shot, Flat Shot, Drop Shot, or Slice by tapping the screen) and support for the gyro sensor in the 3DS meaning you can tilt the system to do things in the game.
In this screenshot you can clearly see how the Touchscreen really enhances the game and will make it MUCH easier for newbies to play the game. Previously, in past Mario Tennis titles, you’d need to perform different button presses to pull of different types of shots. So for example you might press A then B in quick succession to lob the ball high into the air… you can still do that by pressing the facebuttons on the 3DS, but now you could do it much easier by simply tapping the screen. Does this give other players an unfair advantage verses those that use only buttons? Possibly so… it’s also doubtful you’ll be able to customize whether your real-life opponent uses the touchscreen or not…
Simply tap the screen to execute a certain move. Simple!
The tactical RPG Project X Zone was earlier revealed to be an all-new strategy role-playing game developed by Namco Bandai that features an insane crossover with both Capcom and Sega characters!
All three companies are involved, and the game features some of your favorite characters from each… As well as many obscure characters that aren’t recognizable to Westerners (although Capcom’s side sure is!). If you don’t know anything about the game, click the game name above to read my previous write-up on the title.
Resident Evil stars Chris & Jill serve the pain on a Tyrant in Project X Zone (3DS)!
However before, we didn’t know what the game would actually play like or what it even looked like… Until now! As you will see below, the game features insane fighting-game style battles… or at least animations that take place after you’ve attacked with your characters in the strategy portion… As that portion of the game wasn’t shown. But what IS shown is awesome and makes you bleed for an actual fighting game starring all these characters!
Thanks to the Japanese Nintendo Direct conference, we finally have a solid look at this insane project… AND BOY DOES IT LOOK EPIC!
Sit tight, grab some popcorn, and enjoy this awesome Project X Zone Trailer!
Sadly there still has been no word on whether this game will be released outside of Japan, but hopefully we’ll hear something at E3 2012 in June! Gotta love the chibby look of the characters! ^_^
