Fan site Nintenduh is calling for some kind of recognition from Nintendo over the state of Star Fox.
Instead of wondering why Nintendo has outsourced the last 2 titles or questioning the departure from the space-faring roots, They just want to know why his nose changed colors from black to brown.

There is already a mountain of variations to the classic board game Monopoly, but there’s always room for one more. Kotaku posted this image of a forthcoming Nintendo version.
After some diligent investigation (aka google) I was unable to come up with any further information about the game. We’ll all keep our eyes peeled, because it would be nice to have a Mario Party where someone doesn’t curse over not knowing how to play all the minigames.

I understand completely now why Roger Ebert doesn’t think video games are art. He paid to see Silent Hill. He also sat through Doom, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Mortal Kombat, and who knows how many other insanely bad movies.
I was not expecting much. In fact I saw it after being warned. What did surprise me is that it was worse than Van Helsing, which enjoyed nearly 2 years on my list as the worst modern movie. I wanted to clean up my language when I started this new site and every fiber of my being yearns to use words that I promised I would not use online anymore. #&@*!
Oh, it was so bad! And nothing made sense. I feel guilty even talking about it, and I saw it on Tuesday.
I won’t waste your time with further allegations of the movie’s terrible nature. I just have to write something here so I feel I got my money’s worth. I can at least say I saw it to review on the site.

Schwiggie of our very own boards, has brought it to our attention that BigBadToyStore has posted a pre-order page for Revoltech Optimus Prime.

For those not on cutting edge of toy news, Revoltech is supposed to feature a new ratcheted joint that is actually a combination of 3 different smaller joints that give greater poseability and are more easily hidden. The line kicks off with Neon Genesis Evangelion’s EVA Unit 01 in the coming months.

Nintendo has given its next generation console a name. Wii.

After some flash animation, the following text appears on the page.

Introducing…Wii.
As in “we.”
While the code-name “Revolution” expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer.
Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else.
Wii will put people more in touch with their games…and each other. But you’re
probably asking: What does the name mean?
Wii sounds like “we,” which emphasizes this console is for everyone.
Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what langauge they
speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.
Wii has a distinctive “ii” spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the
image of people gathering to play.
And Wii, as a name nad a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of video
games that sets it apart from the crowd.
So that’s Wii. But now Nintendo needs you.
Because, its really not about you or me.
It’s about Wii.
And together, Wii will change everything.

Gateworld bring us news that Sci-Fi has announced a spin-off to the popular Battlestar Galactica series named Caprica. The series will take place 50 years before the mini-series of Galactica and follow the Adama family and the creation of the Cylons.
From the announcement:

The people of the Twelve Colonies are at peace and living in a society not unlike our own, but where high-technology has changed the lives of virtually everyone for the better. But a startling breakthrough in robotics is about to occur, one that will bring to life the age-old dream of marrying artificial intelligence with a mechanical body to create the first living robot — a Cylon. Following the lives of two families, the Graystones and the Adamas (the family of William Adama, who will one day become the commander of the Battlestar Galactica) Caprica weaves corporate intrigue, techno-action and sexual politics into television’s first science fiction family saga.

Ron Moore and David Eick are said to be producing.

BigBadToyStore.com has posted a picture of an upcoming ‘wall statue’ of Soundwave. It also has Lazerbeak, Rumble, and Ravage. All four characters are jumping out of the space bridge.

This statue is just really, really cool, a nonlinear contribution, a weird spiral design incorporating a handful of the Decepticon Gen 1 essentials. Soundwave: One of the most memorable Decepticons ever, overtly servile, emotionless, logic-driven but with underlying avarice and ambition. He monitors and records everything, even to the extent that he interprets brain waves, which makes him unpopular among his Decepticon cohorts. Despite his loyalty to Megatron, in Transformers: The Movie, once Megatron was out of the picture, Soundwave promptly volunteered to shoulder the burden of new leadership.

The rest of the description just describes the cassette characters, but you get the idea.

I don’t know nothing about Naruto, but if last weekend at NoBrandCon was any indication, its a really popular anime. Kotaku has screens from the lastest Naruto fighting game to be imported.
What a shameless way to increase traffic on my part.
