Strictly speaking, he's only the fastest thing alive.

Mechanical improvements are a possibility.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

This isn't the first sonic racing, of course. There's Sonic Drift 1 and 2 for Game gear and Sonic R for Saturn (I think). So I'm not too surprised by this, but I think I'm gonna get this anyway, when it comes out.

The important thing is that it isn't just a Sonic game, though. You can see Amigo several times in the trailer, so it's obviously a continuation of the Sega Superstars Tennis franchise. Sure it's incredibly stupid for Sonic to be in a car, but the game has potential especially if we get a House of the Dead course where you mow down zombies.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Alright, I am officially confused...damn you Hideo! While the countdown on Kojima Production "Next" is not supposed to end until Sunday, there seem to already be new additions. The picture of Raiden as shown above from the magazine, but now there are also a "6" , a "C" and a "O" or "0" appearing.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm quite pleased that I don't give a shit about Metal Gear, otherwise this absolutely bullshit countdown they're running would drive me insane.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Let's not forget the mask at KOJIMA PRODUCTION"MASK"

Remember how he said he wanted to try and make a humorous game? So he's either making two different games or the humorous part of the game will be the MGS cast in a horror survival game.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It's the Internet

Holy fucking cunt burgers, Tales of Monkey Island episodic series announced for PC and WiiWare. Developed by Telltale Games. Complete remake of Secret of Monkey Island also headed to PC and XBLA.

FELIPE NO

The music on the mask page makes me happy in the pants.

But not as much as that Monkey Island news~

OMG SO HAPPY

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So Gamestop has an "E3 special" where select titles are Free Overnight Shipping if you order them. While browsing the titles there was one that stuck out in my head when I saw it.

The next Lego-style game: Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4.

IGN: Lego Harry Potter and Crystal Skull in Development

With the rumor of another Lego series... The Hobbit (possibly LotR?)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Lego Harry Potter should be interesting, though Crystal Skull seems kind of odd. One of the best things about the Lego games is the obscene number of playable characters, and I'm wondering how much they can get out of a single movie. So far it's always been trilogies or even the entire series in Batman's case.

Still, I'll look forward to both of them. Lego Batman in particular is one of my favorite recent platformers.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

That story is a bit old. Since then, it's been officially announced as just Lego Indiana Jones 2, and while they said it would have elements of Crystal Skull in there, it won't exclusively focus on it.

EDIT: Here's a recent developer interview where they mention that it will feature elements from both the original trilogy and The Crystal Skull.

Ultimately this is probably somebody trolling, but this is a thread for rumors, anyway.

Why hello there.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I know, what happened to Capcom's mystery game? It's day two, and they still haven't had their press conference?

How ya doing, buddy?

According to the E3 website, this is the fourth and final day. It would be nice to see at least Legends 1 and 2 released on XBLA/PSN...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

It's the second day of the actual showcasing. Days one and two were conferences, which is why I'm confused.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Actually, there is an answer out there on Capcom's twitter feed: "Capcom Mystery Game #2: Resident Evil PSP. All new, designed specifically for PSPGo. A ways out, but an awesome design planned." I'm not sure where that was announced, but hooray?

Actually, E3 did start in the official sense (with the show floor, booths and all that jazz) on Tuesday. Yes, they had press conferences on that day, but companies were showcasing games then as well. So today is the official last day of the expo. Most people just refer to it as E3 week since there are pre-E3 events (i.e. Microsoft's press conference on Monday), and I wouldn't be surprised if there was still some E3 wrap-up stuff happening tomorrow.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

How is Resident Evil mysterious? We get plenty of that. Come on Capcom, be creative for once. Or at least milk something we want you to milk.

As an extension of their respective conferences, sure-- after they speak they welcome people to stay and try things. It's semantics, as my point was that conferences were well over and the convention itself had been underway for some time. I really don't care numerically what day it is.

Well, that was certainly underwhelming. I thought they were teasing sequel that, you know, didn't come from a series that has annual entries.

All in all? Crummy E3, but certainly better than the smaller format. Smart move to bring back the glitz and glamor.

What's the difference between Guybrush Threepwood and 99% of Monkey Island players?



99% of Monkey Island players are already pirates.

I'm not gonna lie. I got a copy of The Secret of Monkey Island back in the day on floppy from my childhood friend's father and he also gave me xerox'd scans of every single combination of the spinning silly pirate head wheel. Of course later I bought my own copy but man was flipping through pages upon pages just so I could play the game ever so awesome.

FELIPE NO

Not sure if its been mentioned somewhere, but you have just under a week to register the rest of your Nintendo PINs before progress towards Platinum status is erased. Your coins will remain, but you'll have to start over as of July for the points.

https://club.nintendo.com/elite-award-reminder.do

Just register your 600 points so you can get the "special reward" or whatever it is. Either way, free stuff is free....but I assume nobody buys DS games here since you all have M3s, and nobody buys Wii games because "omg casual," so meh.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Correction.

No one buys Wii games because they don't exist.
