Welcome back to the stage of history!
Soul Calibur, easily Namco’s 3rd or 4th most popular game series, will return to PS3 and 360 in 2012.

There is potential for a big shakeup in the series, as this chapter takes place 17 years after the events of Soul Calibur IV. Nightmare and Siegfried Schtauffen are confirmed for a return, but the primary protagonist will be the son of Sophitia Alexandra, a new character named Patroklos. Will fan favorites like Ivy, Taki, or Voldo be too old to join the fight? Will they also be replaced with heirs to their fighting style? No guest characters are inferred or expected, but a history that includes Link, Kratos, and Darth Vader means we can probably expect that reveal in time.

In a time when revivals of Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and Marvel VS Capcom are bringing 2D fighters back into vogue, Soul Calibur will proudly continue its 8 way run traditon, giving fighters full control over the field to dodge and attack.

Full press release follows…

It seems like only yesterday we went sailing on a board with T-Pain, now Michael Bolton hits the high seas with Lonely Island.

The Lonely Island’s first album Incredibad was a big hit around the Powet.TV offices, and the new album is sure to be just as entertaining. its available now for download or on CD and vinyl.

It was stated that MP-01L would be the final edition and use of the Masterpiece Prime mold. Shortly afterward, a new Transformers Masterpiece Optimus Prime figure was announced in Japan, but it would not be the same mold. As it turns out, some pictures have surfaced and it looks like this edition (MP-10) will be in-scale with the all of the rest of the Masterpiece line addressing the most common complaint and sole shortcoming of the previous mold. Not only that, but the figure will come with trailer, Roller, Energon Axe, transforming gun and an in-scale driver in the form of Spike Witwicky.

   

News from Red Leader of Kapow Toys

Super Meat Boy is a clever throwback to 2D platformers of the past, bringing with it a insane sense of humor and an even more insane level of difficulty. As the title character, you set out to rescue your girlfriend Bandage Girl from Dr. Fetus, a fetus in a glass jar and tuxedo. No, I am not making this up. You pursue him throughout over 300 levels, along with hidden warp zones and alternate ‘Dark World’ versions of levels. The levels are chock full of hazards. You can expect to die and die often. At the end of the level, you are treated to a replay of your progress including all the death’s you’ve suffered trying to complete the level. You can unlock characters from other indie video games such as Braid’s Tim and Bit Trip’s Commander Video. Each of these characters has their own unique powers, and some are needed to access the game’s collectables. The game has a unique art style that smacks of retro 8 and 16 bit games, although it clearly won’t be for everyone due to it’s heavy difficulty. If you appreciate hardcore challenges and miss gaming’s classic era, then Super Meat Boy is for you.

This week brings us another Lego game and Brink for most systems. Not seeing any releases that have been heavily hyped. Remember to use the links below to purchase any games of interest to help us out!

In this week’s episode of 90210 we see a background character that looks a lot like Captain N: The Game Master. This jacket seems like a near perfect replica, except for a white instead of black N. Some specific details such as the NES game pad belt and Nintendo Zapper gun are lacking, and his shirt is not the standard yellow, but these may have been omitted because they would have been out of place given the setting…

The setting for this is that Annie convinces Marla to attend a screening of her old movie Pennyfoolish at the Griffith Observatory which somehow means a 1950s/1960s themed party that the whole gang attend.

So is this appearance intentional or is this just a random coincidence where someone happens to have the exact same coloured Letterman jacket? You decide!
