E3 2010: Konami Press Conference

Harlan.Ryudo — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 20:14:15 +0000

Last conference to cover, hopes are being kept low, considering how last year, they only showed off, we believe, three games? And we think the “secret” project Kojima was working on was the Snake Eater remake on the 3DS, which, while nice, not a very thrilling announcement for us at UNB, since we’ve already played Snake Eater.

Let’s See What They’ve Got

E3 2010: Sony Press Conference

Harlan.Ryudo — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 18:34:44 +0000

Sony’s been releasing info left and right the last couple of weeks leading up to E3, so the big question on everyone’s minds is, what do they have for us now? Rumors of a new PSP (again, but this time, better), a premium PSN service, showing off Move, can they steal the show this year?

It Only Does Press Conferences

Day 1 of E3 officially starts with Nintendo’s presser, 9AM PST / 12noon EST. With reports that Nintendo will more than likely show off the fabled 3DS and Legend of Zelda, gamers everywhere will ask once again, is Nintendo going to claim they’re catering to the hardcore crowd.

Whiteboard: E3 2010 edition

Harlan.Ryudo — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 18:12:02 +0000

Hey folks, E3 is a little over a week away, and as usual, UNB rises from the grave, yet again. To commemorate this occasion, let me introduce you to our new staff member, El Blanco, the sentient whiteboard.

He showed up at our door the other day, looking for work, which we promptly did, giving him some odd jobs around the place. His most uncanny ability is to write on himself while singing. How he manages to do this without any limbs, beats the hell out of us.

For his debut, El Blanco gives us cryptic visions of what he sees for this year’s E3. He also says he would like to apologize to some guy called Rip Hunter, whoever that is.

See El Blanco, in all his glorious El Blanco-ness, after the jump.

Behold, El Blanco!

Obviously, some of those are no brainers, while others might possibly be wishful thinking. Who knows? It’s a sentient whiteboard, what more do you want?

Oh Man…

…won’t you feel dumb if you think this is a joke.

I mean, seriously.

Super Robot Taisen Original Generations Saga: Masou Kishin Lord of Elementals

Harlan.Ryudo — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 16:07:08 +0000

Announced in the last issue of Famitsu, and hinted the week before by the SRW series producer, Super Robot Taisen Original Generations Saga: Masou Kishin Lord of Elementals was announced for the DS. And being that typing that full name outis causing serious hand cramps, from this point forward, the game will be referred to as LoE.

A remake of the original Super Famicom game, Super Robot Taisen Gaiden: Masou Kishin Lord of Elementals (hand cramp!), it was notable back then for the fact that the sprites were full-sized units, not the standard super-deformed look that SRW is mainly associated with. As for how the remake looks now, it’ll still retain the full-sized unit look, although, the graphic style itself does seem to be a let-down (in some cases, it looks like all they did was touch up the orginal sprites). However, LoE was a pretty decent SRW game, and with the fact that they’re somehow incorporating the OG-timeline into this game, instead of the original timeline, it’s pretty much assured that there will be some new things here and there for those that have played the game before.

Slated for a May release, since there’s no licensed series in this game, there’s a high chance it might make it stateside. Trailer after the jump.
