Capcom wants to pull out Resident Evil 5 trailer

By Nintendude under Resident Evil, Gaming News

Resident Evil 5This is just weird, Capcom has asked to remove any sign of movies or stills taken from the Resident Evil 5 trailer. The trailer was not supposed to be out yet, actually, it wasn´t supposed to be even filmed yet.

Capcom has said they release and air the official trailer in the near future, but well, since we knoe the near future might be as close as 2006, you can still get the trailer here.

It´s not really a clever request from Capcom if what they really want is to stop people from watching the trailer, asking to pull something off the internet always has the opposite effect and is just plain impossible, however, some sites such as IGN have listened to Capcom and removed both trailers and screenshots.

Zelda lampshade

No, it´s not the next game of Zelda for the DS. The legend of Zelda: The Lampshade of no real significance is a really fun flash game that parodies the world of Zelda´s games.

You can explore the town of “Hyscule” where you will find known characters such as Samus hanging out at…McDonalds? Okay, go and watch it yourself.

This game was made by the Super Flash Bros, an animation team you might already know about for their gaming related parodies and animations.

Prince of Persia 3 - Development Diary

Prince of persia 3

Gametrailers has a really cool developer diary of Prince of Persia 3. Ben Mattes producer of the game talks about where this game is going focusing mainly on how they built the city of Babylon where POP 3 will be set.

I really like these “diaries”, they are the “making the video” of the gaming world. You can watch the video here.

Strikers gets renamed

Mario smash footballNintendo Europe has announced Super Mario Strikers, the soccer game from the mario sports series has been renamed as Mario Smash Footbal. I kinda liked Strikers better but i think the name change has something to do with Smash Melee success. Let´s just hope we don´t see Super Mario Smash Rugby Melee in the near future.

Mario Smash Football is part of the Mario sports series. Back at e3 Nintendo showed a lot of upcoming Mario and friends games playing a lot of sports, from baseball to tennis and even a dance game.

I´m not exactly a soccer fan but the game looks fun, there´s still no word on the realease date but it is possible that MSF will be on the shelves by the end of this year.

By Nintendude under Satoru Iwata, Nintendo News

Satoru IwataSome time ago, we mentioned Nintendo will not be attending this year´s TGS, however, Nintendo´s president, Satoru Iwata will be participating with a 50 minute speech on September 16th.

This will be the second time Iwata participates at the Toky Game show and everyone is getting their hopes up.

Is this the big announcement when everything about the revolution will be revealed? I don´t think so but i hope i´m wrong.

Josie Maran to star NFS: Most Wanted

Josie MaranGood news for all of us who enjoy good looking girls in games, EA has signed a deal with model and actress Josie Maran to be featured as a character and the cover girl for Need for speed: Most Wanted.

Last time, on NFSU 2, Brooke Burke played an in game character and Josie will be doing pretty much the same, “EA has created a new process that takes Hi-Definition footage of live actors and converts them into synthetic-looking videogame characters”, thanks to that, she will be playing a street racer called Mia.

So, you don´t know who Josie Maran is? well maybe you´ve seen her recently as Maybelline´s cover girl, she also acted in movies such as Van Helsing and Aviator.

I´m sure this won´t be the last time we see models or other celebrities featuring in games, it´s been working really good for EA in their sports games, i mean, every year we are waiting to see who´s getting the cover of Madden even when they are not nearly as good looking as the babes they are signing for the Need for speed series.
