Namco's Dancing Wii Game With Added iDOLM@STER

In the upcoming issue of Famitsu, Namco Bandai announced Wii music rhythm game Happy Dance Collection. The game has players rhythmically match Wii-mote motions. Yes, it's cutesy and it's got Mii crowd integration, but the real kicker here is the music. As expected, the game features popular J-Pop like "http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=2CHH8PDJqoI">Popstar" and "Choo Choo TRAIN", but also "Go My Way" from Namco's idol singer simulation Xbox 360 game THE iDOLM@STER. The female dancers also look iDOLM@STEResque. How's that for fan service!
The game is slated for sometime this year.

SNK Playmore Suite Visit

I got a chance to swing by the SNK Playmore Suite at GDC to check out some of their offerings. Most of what they had going on on their screens were showings of their various game anthologies including Fatal Fury Battle Archives Vol. 2, King of Fighters 98 Ultimate Match, King of Fighters Collection Orochi Saga, Samurai Shodown Anthology, SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 and World Heroes Anthology. Not a whole lot new here but there were a couple of nice looking trailers for King of Fighters XII and the New Samurai Shodown.

The real treat however was a little surprise waiting on a DS in the corner, Metal Slug 7! I hot footed it over to the corner of the room and practically wrestled the girl playing it to the ground in my attempt to check out the game. It looked great, played better and had everything you could possibly want from a Metal Slug game. So if you are ready for a new Metal Slug experience, look no further than Metal Slug 7, coming soon to a DS near you.

Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection Confirmed

While we'd already seen the pre-order at places like Play Asia, Konami has confirmed their upcoming Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection for PS2. Retailing at $29.99, the package includes the original Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2 (director's cut) and Metal Gear Solid 3. It's not as sweet as Japan's MGS Anniversary Collection—a purchase that I considered momentarily in Akihabara before realizing that something might be lost during those conversations with Otacon in my non-native tongue.

Metal Gear Solid: Essential Collection Now Available for Pre-Order at GameStop

Last weekend I told you about the Metal Gear Solid: Essential Collection and its availability for pre-order on PlayAsia. Now it seems the pre-order is coming stateside as Gamestop/EB Games now has a page for the collection as well. Listed at $29.99, it is a bit cheaper than the $34.90 that PlayAsia was charging and I imagine the shipping will be a similar 4 - 5 bucks depending on where you are. The collection includes the original Metal Gear Solid as well as the directors cut of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence and will be available for the PS2.

Atari Classics Evolve

Not just another retro arcade title compilation that screws with the classics with often hilarious results, Atari Classics Evolved for the PSP is over 70 games in one! Not only do you get 11 classic Atari arcade titles like Asteroids, Battlezone, Tempest, Super Breakout, and Pong in both original and evolved versions, but you also get more than 60 Atari 2600 classics. Over 60 games that were once a whole lot of fun but now only amuse for a good minute before that "Hey, I remember this!" feeling wears off. Games so simple you can close your eyes and accurately play them using only your imagination. Hell, they might even be better that way. Having said that, I still plan on picking up the compilation when it hits this fall, if only for the joy of peer-to-peer wireless Pong. More »

Mega64 Greatest Hits DVD


Mega64, in all their comedic glory, are releasing a greatest hits DVD that includes all the mayhem they've caused including a one whole disc of skits, an extra disc of video game commercials, and of course never-before-seen footage from the past. The trailer includes some of the brighter moments the crew have shared, including the infamous cameo from Shigeru Miyamoto. There will be no more need for squinting at the pixelated clips after DVD comes out on July 26th. You can keep the movies and your eyesight in the comfort of your living room. Kim Phu More »

More Metal Gear 20th Anniversary Details

The Metal Gear 20th Anniversary official site has gone live on Konami of Japan's web presence, giving Snake fans a look at the upcoming re-releases revealed by Famitsu earlier this week. More concrete details on the mysterious Metal Gear Solid Collection boxed set are available, giving us a better look at exactly what the package will contain. While complete and a great value, packing in just about every Metal Gear game and bonus DVDs, it doesn't appear to contain any drool-worthy bonuses. More »

Biohazard Premium Site Offerings


A super-sneaky premium version of the Biohazard website has been uncovered in Japan. Basically all you have to do after going to the Biohazard website is click on one of the nucleuses on the red cell that floating around aimlessly. That jumps to the premium site and viola, more red cell navigation will show you all kinds of goodies like game clips and an online sound game. More »

A Game Collection For The Ages

Kotakuite, Tristan recently cleaned out his game closet and assembled his collection for all to see. Covering over twenty different systems, his collection is quite impressive. It always warms the cockles of my heart to see games all gathered in one place and not be an auction on eBay. Guard your treasure trove well, Tristan, in another 75- 80 years some of those will be bona fide antiques which you can then present on Antiques Roadshow for a tidy sum. Flynn De Marco

NES eBay Auction Officially Insane

What was once a semi-reasonable instant Nintendo Entertainment System complete collection buy-in has now crossed into insane auction territory. The eBay auction that includes 670 unique games that Fahey posted yesterday has seen a ludicrous, competition-silencing bid from "Bidder 24" that pushes the current bid to $240,300. That's almost a quarter of a million dollars and it doesn't even include the superior top-loading NES or a dog bone controller. More »

The Complete NES eBay Auction

Yet another collection suffers the fate all obsessive collections will one day suffer once the collector realizes that all of their time and money has amounted to piles of expensive stuff. An eBayer has posted an auction containing every single licensed North American NES game ever made, from 1942 to Zombie Nation.
The auction also includes several peripherals, including ROB the Robot and the so-bad power glove, as well as a system to play the games on. With five days left to go in the auction it is already up to $12,700, which means it surpassed my spending power $12,650 ago. An awe-inspiring collection, certainly, and one that I'm sure will wind up back on eBay once the winner comes to his or her senses. Michael Fahey More »

The Uber Console Collection Auction

Forget the instant console collection. If you've always wanted to get into collecting vintage game consoles but weren't sure where to start, we've found the definitive starting point. It's an auction up on eBay UK right now entitled ber 90 Telespielkonsolen (Over 90 Television Consoles), and it is uber indeed. With game systems ranging from old classics like the Atari 2600 (4 versions!) to obscure items like the Game Axe NES clone, the auction covers over 2 and a half decades of gaming history. There are consoles here I've never even heard of.
The auction starts at 3,000 Euros, which is close to $4000, but with 80% of the systems confirmed to be in working order it is totally worth it. The poster recommends you come to Germany to pick up the systems due to high shipping costs, but if you end up winning this horde I very much doubt price is going to be an object.
