I haven’t seen the tier lists so far for TVC yet but I like trying to work my way in with Alex (funny…considering I don’t like Third Strike). He does nice damage but missing that launcher deflates your balloon some kind of bad. I really wanna try to learn Frank but he’s so awkward…I need to just sit in practice mode with him for an hour or so and see what I can and can’t do with him. Ryu is pie and just overall fun period.
Not really too much in the way of news today but…

This game makes me feel like it’s the equivalent of rubbing my head and patting my tummy.
Has anyone beat Kisuke’s story on hard mode in Muramasa? This last boss is kicking my ass and I’m just wondering how others did it.
Edit:
NM…I pulled out my mudhole stomping boots.
Monster Hunter Tri Supporting Wii Speak
Not sure if you fellas consider Joystiq a reliable source, but if this is true, this has definitely piqued my interest a little more in this game.
^ I don’t think to many people have a prob with Joystiq…they’re better than kotaku at least.

Alex Kidd in Shinobi World
I love Alex. The damage output that he pulls off is so damn good that it’s unbelievable. Hell, Alex’s basic BnB off of his 3C launcher ALONE basically does more than 1/3 lifebar of damage in one go. The only depressing thing is that Alex is so friggin’ hard to play in general. He has almost no approach options (except airdash -> B, which is lousy), and he has awful mobility because of no second jump. Still, it feels so satisfying pulling of a power bomb and seeing the opponent’s lifebar drop a decent chunk. Fun stuff.
Bought Just Dance yesterday, man i kill it with Eye Tiger & Girls just want to have fun…I want to master Pump Up the Jam & Cant Touch This…
^ Are you actually enjoying Just Dance or are you pulling our leg?
People don’t want Alex in their grill that’s why it’s hard to get in lol. He’s definitely hard to get in…I remember trying to play a game with Rioting Soul and he was just running away with Saki. Painful ass experience but once alex got in that one time all that damage from running away became even.
When CGoH first came out, I saw Casshern and thought he was too cool, and then people started to find his really damaging combos and what-not.
Then I also play Morrigan because I like her mix-up game with her up canceled j.b and she had a great assist for Casshern.
Zelda’s MotionPlus Requirement for More than Just Swordplay:

I wonder exactly what do they mean by this…cause to me it sounds like if you’re hacking off a limb or 2 in order pass to the next area. Also…Please don’t rush this game Aonuma. Zelda fans are used to waiting so if the game gets delayed then they’ve come to expect it. Miyamoto better be ready to flip that tea table if it’s not up to snuff.
Sega Snags Gladiator A.D.

Looks like Sega is stepping up to the plate for High Voltage again. The game also got a name change to Tournament of Legends and sounds like they may have changed a few things in context since last we saw it. Release date is May 18th. Put up so some updated footage HVS.

IGN Tournament of Legends Hands-On
http://wii.ign.com/articles/106/1066303p1.html
So they took out the wii motion plus functionality and changed it from just being a Gladiator type affair to having more mythological creatures. It’s going to play like half traditional fighter half punch-out (starting to get a bit close to that other wii ware title do out this year). Controls are pretty simplistic and they even added classic control support. Game looks like it went through a pretty big overhaul in the design department. I da know…still want to see some footage.

gotta say…I’m digging the music.
Finally got TvC in the mail today. It was definitely worth the wait. Hopped on WiFi and I gotta say…this is the Wii’s best online multiplayer experience. All of my matches except one were completely without lag…so what I’m trying to say is, if you don’t own this game, BUY IT NOW FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
I hope they have awesome online support like how TvC seems to have. Hopefully they’ll have the codes and stuff to play as barack and michelle obama. I’m excited :woot:

The Grinder goes multi-platform:
Sucks for folks who play the “games should be exclusive, wahhh!!!” game, but good for everyone else. I’ll likely be getting the Wii version still, knowing that it’ll have sick motion control like The Conduit and it’s not a goddamn port.
Uh oh…looks like Nintendo’s exclusive games could be more in danger now…

I find it funny that they’re gonna release it on the 360 since they already have L4D so that’s going to be interesting. The show how the PS3/360/PC version will play in comparison to the Wii’s at GDC so congrat’s to thses guys if there game makes it well. The game has also been pushed back to Halloween 2011.

Japan Numbers 2/5/10
http://wii.ign.com/articles/106/1066978p1.html
Dragon Quest VI came out and muscled it’s way up to the top. Both versions of Resonance of Fate (End of Eternity) showed up in the top 10. Valkyria Chronicles 2 and Mag just made the top 10 as well. I think this is the first time in awhile that Nintendo software didn’t dominate half of the top 10.
Even with Dragon Quest VI out PSP’s is still going strong at the top and the PS3 nudged it’s way into the DS trifecta. Hardware went PSP, Wii, Dsi LL, PS3, Dsi, DS Lite, 360, PS2, and Go.
