Calciobit keeps looking cooler and cooler.

I dunno what Lost Heroes is, but it makes me want a new Lost Vikings.

The fact that Smash Bros is being developed by my two favourite fighting game developers made that video better than Nintendo's entire E3 conference for me--and I was AT Nintendo's E3 conference.

It also means that it will be out a lot sooner than if it was just Project Sora alone, not to mention the benefit of the fact that, unlike Nintendo's studios, Namco has experience creating HD games.  Very happy with this announcement, indeed.

was this today?

because I swear the one I watched on nintendo europe was different.

that's a lot of characters, if none are from Skies of Arcadia I'll be forced into a nerd rage

I don't know why, but I can't embed videos anymore, VG Chartz doesn't allow me  :(

Art Academy

Early next year for Fire Emblem, huh? Oh well. No dates for anything, either, but some promising stuff here.
