I've pulled this info from the Nintendo newsletter that arrived in my inbox;
I believe the Americans already have Puyo Puyo 2, which I'd only be too happy to accept on my releases, and Cho Aniki, which most of us know about now.
One release that has perked my interest is the game by the name 'Gley Lancer'. It should actually be Grey Lancer, but we know that someone must have spelt that from the moonspeak they heard.
I've pulled out a review I found of the Mega Drive scrolling shooter, and it got a pretty favorable one, earning 88% from Sega Pro.
Comments please.

And welcome back to another of my blogs.
This week, I’d just thought I’d post a few things I’ve spotted over the past week or two.
You may remember something about RDCarneiro getting hospitalized for something serious. Well, lets just say it didn’t happen. Yes, someone got access to his DA account after he forgot to log out. And left a joke post saying his friend had to go to hospital to have a risky operation on a tumor. Fortunately, a lot of people have read his latest journal, and have understood the situation. The art world breathes a collective sigh of relief.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although he didn’t have much to do with the production of games whatsoever, a founder of Eidos, Charles Cornwall is apparently on the run from the police, involved in a dark tale of murder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have laid my hands on another game-related T-Shirt that Tesco is selling. This time, Space Invaders.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In amongst Udon Crew’s usually high standard of game-based artwork, they have created the box art for the new Track and Field game.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A couple of Okami competition artwork from those I devwatch on DA.
Destined Heroes by Saiyagina
Amaterasu by Risachantag
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another one of those mock inspiration pictures from The Bronze Griffon.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Despite attempts by Infogrames (or soon to be renamed Atari, or so we think), SCI apparently rejected a takeover.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And finally, talking of renaming, this guy has given Ebayers the chance to bid for the right to change his name. Since I spotted this on my local news, this is actually genuine. He has already amassed bids over £100, which is impressive, since he lists the second condition of his bid as “must not be offensive…etc”. That’s a pity, because this strip from VGCats came to mind…

If you've been on Destructoid for a few months, you may have seen the work of RDCarneiro here.
Unfortunately, he has found out he needs to go to hospital, and he is concerned about what he has to face.
Please read the link above to his DA journal for the whole details and feel free to leave him a message of support.
--------------------------------------------------------
On a separate note, I'll link you guys to a couple of animations to recover from this bad news;
Mario's New Secret Weapon (Part 3)
The third and final part of the manipulation of the Mario games, with a load of baddies from other games making their appearance, and the final climax against not one, not two, but three Bowsers. And a welcome final cameo from the Metal Slug Tank.
Sonic Shorts (Part 2)
Several rather amusing (imo) shorts by different animators on Sonic The Hedgehog, spliced together like someone changing channels.

I was going through DA today when I spotted this.
This is important news if;
1. You can do decent works of art.
2. You like the art-style of Okami.
3. You want to win a Wii, plus other stuff.
Link to the competition here.
Submission deadline is April 30th, 2008 Midnight PST and winners will be announced May 5th, 2008, so get your skates on. You also need to be 13 years old +, you can submit more than one entry and... complete rules are here.
What do you guys think? Are you up for it?

Hi again. I'd just thought I'd share a few game-related videos and flashes I came across.
SNES Memories
I found this on Spiked Humour and just seeing all those games in action brings back lovely, warm memories.
I don't suppose you lot could do me a big favour and be able to identify the games shown at 4.51, 7.49 and 9.25? I do not recognise them, and they interest me greatly...
I've also found a couple of decent flashes on Newsgrounds...
Resident Evil S.A.R.S. (Part 2)
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/434241
This actually has some decent voice acting (until the parts where the animator shows which characters use the 'I have a glass muffling my voice' technique'). Quite amusing.
Mario's New Secret Weapon(Part 2)
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/434487
It seems that the Half-Life games as well as Metal Slug get in on the act here, but this is an interesting manipulation of Super Mario. I like the added animations used on the classic NES Mario design.
Enjoy!
