I know what you’re thinking: “Hey, the Wii has been out 5 months, where all the Gundam games?!?”

Well step down off your mobile horse and take a look at this.

I can’t read a lick of Japanese so someone will have to tell me if the Kanji for “minigames” appears on this page. Otherwise, looks like motion controlled shooting in the Universal Century as the RX-78-2. Now I gotta get me one of these. Char’s Wiimote!

A few weeks back we took a peek at the Iron Man Mark 1 suit, and then a few days ago we saw the first official picture of Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark.

Jon Favreau has posted comment regarding both on Myspace:

Let me confirm a few things: The movie will contain both the gray suit and the gold and red. The light you see in the photo on Robert’s chest in the USA Today article is the chest piece glowing through his shirt. He is in captivity and forging the mask of the Mark 1. Both suits have been built practically by Winston Studios and are busily at work as we speak. We are exploring ideas for teaser trailers, though no date has been decided. We are planning to attend San Diego Comicon. Bridges is bald and plays Stane. The movie is on schedule and could not be going better.

Sounds great. Only a year to this movie? Sign me up.

Danny Elfman will not provide the score to the newest Spider-Man movie, but you can hear Christopher Young‘s new theme in the latest trailer for the Spider-Man 3 game.

I didn’t think much of the theme for the first 2 movies, but this one is quite good. Doesn’t jump up out at you like the old John William’s Superman theme did (nothing since has), but its definitely my favorite modern superhero movie music.

SpikeTV’s GameHead took their entire episode this week to honor Shigeru Miyamoto. In addition to Geoff Keighly interviewing the man himself, they also took comments from the editors of Kotaku and GoNintendo, the cast of Mega64, and the GameJew. Charles Martinett, the voice of Mario, provides narration between segments.

Its an interesting retrospective, but the secretive Nintendo hero doesn’t give much of a look forward other than the tease that a once cancelled game may still see release.

It looks like the boys over at Midway decided to finally give all the rabid Mortal Kombat fans their just rewards for their patience in waiting for the Wii release of MK: Armageddeon, and gave up the rendered images of the last remaining character to be added: Khameleon. Click the image for the full wallpaper rendering.

Thanks to the Midway forums for the catch, and the Mortal Kombat Online newsroom for the linkage. The rending itself looks neat, though admittedly like the bastard child between Sindel and Chameleon. I’m sure the blatent similarities between Chameleon and Khameleon will no doubt be reflected in her story and ending, which seems a bit cheap. However, I guess when you whine enough for a character to be inserted, you get what you ask for.
