Botcon.com has posted additional images of the box set of exclusive figures. The future Axalon crew is featured in a group show and as they appear in the foam packaging they will come in. You can see both of these images below.

 

As a member of the Transformers Collectors Club, I would just like to add my disappointment that I was once again not informed of an update to this site via the club email and instead had to find out by looking at another news site. What exactly am I paying for if not to be informed? Other than the toy, of course.

In addtion to Baby Mario, we found out at E3 that Yoshi would also carry a Baby Princess Peach and a Baby Donkey Kong.
But in the lower and upper left corners of the final box art we see a Baby Bowser and a Baby Wario. The different babies promise to add new gameplay mechanics to the platformer, which iteself is a sequel to an underrated classic on the SNES.
Also of note, theres a Nintendo WiFi logo. 2 player online Co-op? Versus race? Mini Games? Nintendo hasn’t said anything yet.
Yoshi’s Island 2 will be released to the Nintendo DS on November 13 in the US.

Man, I haven’t seen this many babies in years.

Last fall, we had no less than 5 classic gaming compilations from Capcom, Namco, Taito, Tecmo, and Midway. Now this is shaping up to be another good fall for fans of classic gaming. You already know about the Wii, and it’s ability to download Genesis and Turbographix 16 games, but what you may not know is that you don’t have to buy the new system in order to play some of Sega’s classics. Indeed, comming this November, the Sega Genesis Collection will be comming to PS2 and PSP with over 30 titles! Shniobi 3, Comix Zone, and Golden Axe 2? I think I’m gonna cry.

If that isn’t enough, Konami is giving Xbox 360 owners old school action via the Live Arcade. You already know that the arcade versions of Contra and Super C are comming, but early next year, Konami is also gonna hit us with the definitive Castlevania game, Symphony of the Night! This is shaping up to be a good time for those who enjoy the games of thier youth.

Rather than write a review, I thought I would do a video to show why Cybertron Primus should be higher on your Transformers Buy List than it is right now. I wasn’t excited about the figure until I opened him up, but it didn’t take long for me to be an avid fan of the mold.

Special thanks to Zac for taking the time to edit the video for me.

Comic Brian Posehn formed a metal band for a track on his new album. It pretty successfully lampoons metal song and video conventions, even throwing in references that only real metal fans would get. Scott Ian of Anthrax is on guitar, and Brian’s real life wife and dogs are even in the video. Look for another Mr. Show vet in a cameo.
