A brief look at the special vehicles that players will be able to control in Nintendo's upcoming release of Star Fox 64 3D.
In this issue: I gloat about being right about a Wii redesign and the drop of GC backwards compatibility.
Oh, don't worry, that's not all this week's PB & Jason is about, but it does take up a substantial amount of airtime. With it is talk of the recently announced Europe-exclusive PSP model, the PSP E-1000, along with a little bit of analysis of what it means to drop the PSP's wifi capabilities.
Today, Sony announced that the PlayStation 3 is officially dropping in price across both models.
Earlier today at Gamescom, Sony revealed a $50 price cut for both models of the PlayStation 3, bringing the 160GB slim model down to $250 and the 320GB slim model to $300. In addition to the price cuts, at select retailers across America, Sony is running a limited-time special bundle for $300, which will include the 320GB system, a copy of inFamous 2, and a 30 day PlayStation Plus trial. The price drop is effective immediately, allowing newcomers to jump in without a wait.
Now available on PSN, Puzzle Dimension is still delivering the same great puzzle experience found on PC and Mac last year.
Rather than provide an entirely redundant review on Puzzle Dimension's PSN release, I'll be using this space to explain any differences in its latest incarnation. For a full description of the game, you are encouraged to check out our original review.
Ready for launch?
Pikmin 1 and 2 were two great GameCube games and some of Miyamoto's most original efforts. A strategy game involving anthropomorphized flower-sprouting plants that could be commanded to retrieve spaceship parts and attack enemies was completely unconventional to say the least. It was also a lot of fun.
Maybe Phineas and Ferb can use their immeasurable genius to fix this blasé game.
Sometimes you play a game and can't help but be disappointed that it isn't something more. Phineas & Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension is such a game. Built on an engine that provides solid visuals and controls, Phineas and Ferb has the groundwork for a great game. Unfortunately, it quickly falls into a rut wherein each level in the game feels similar to the last, so much so that set pieces from levels are practically recycled. While I truly wanted to enjoy the game thanks to its solid footing, it quickly became sleep-inducing when it failed to evolve.
On September 9, alongside Star Fox 64 3D, players will be able to grab the fiery new color.
While it was originally cut from the starting line-up of 3DS launch colors, Nintendo announced today that the Flame Red color is going to become available in North America and Europe on September 9, alongside the launch of Star Fox 64 3D. The red color has already made its debut in Japan on June 23, as 'Flare Red'.
