Everything I know about anime…

…I learned from watching Matthew Sweet videos.

1991’s “Girlfriend” featured footage from Space Adventure Cobra and was arguably the first ever “anime music video.”



Metroid Prime 3 — Retro Studios speaks to Nintendo Power

Metroid_Prime_3_Corruption_.jpgIn an interview with Nintendo Power Magazine this month, Retro Studios speaks of the Wii-bound latest installment in the Powet favorite Metroid franchise.
So whats the scoop?   X-ray Visor and Hyper-Mode are back, and you’ll traverse multiple planets like in the recent DS release, Metroid Prime: Hunters.  Backtracking an exploration will remain in tact, something woefully missing from Hunters.  Also makin appearances will be more Phazon, more competing bounty hunters, and more Metroids.
They also say multiplayer will be back, but not in the same way it was included in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.  Wii’s WiFi capabilities are a given.

The best part is they confirm Metroid Prime 3: Corruption will be a launch title for the Nintendo Wii, due out by the end of the year.
Click here for highlights, though they are transcribed from the magazine by someone without the use of a spellchecker.



Transformers Prime vs. Megatron 2-Pack and 20th Ann. Prime Repaint

Transformers-Official-Image.jpgAccording to TFW2005.com, they have been informed the Target listing for a Prime vs. Megatron 2-pack is actually not the upcoming Primal vs. Megatron Beast Wars anniversary 2-pack, but instead a classic G1 looking Prime with more articulation and a green tank Megatron that will come with a dvd called “Battle Through the Ages’. Both figures will be packaged in vehicle form. It is not clear if this will be a Target exclusive or not just yet.

Their sources have also revealed that the reissue of 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime will actually be a repaint without the battle damage, in addition to having long smoke stacks. Packaged with the figure will be a dvd with the original animated Transformers: The Movie

[EDIT – Crazy: Hasbro has stated that 20th Prime will have SHORT smoke stacks. Long smoke stacks was apparently incorrect information. Interestingly though, they did not say anything else was incorrect. ]
