Updated Wednesday & Friday Evenings
The Beatles: Rock Band?1
Nick - writer - posted on Wednesday, 10/29/08 22:53:45 EDT
Hey everybody. Well I had another fun weekend. First it was watching my 14 month old nephew on Saturday, then on Sunday my mom fell and broke her foot. So I've been running around like crazy trying to help out all I can, while still working and helping watch my nephew.
Other then that the biggest gaming rumor I head over at Kotaku was that MTV (owners of Harmonix) and Apple Records are going to have an announcement of an "exclusive agreement to develop a global music project."
Are The Beatles coming to Rock Band 2 and not Guitar Hero?
It says it'll be announced at 10AM EST tomorrow, so hopefully during lunch I can see what this announcement is going to be. The big thing is will it be a totally new Rock Band game (Like the Aerosmith and ACDC Guitar Hero games) or will it be exclusive Rock Band only DLC with The Beatles songs?
While I consider myself a fan of Konami's music games, I would really consider buying Rock Band 2 if they were going to announce songs from The Beatles. I grew up listing to them because both of my parents are big fans and I know all other fellow Beatles fans would want to get in on this.
Let's see what happens tomorrow!

Also, big thanks to Johnny D and Ito for posting the video on their site, Retroware TV! We hope you guys enjoyed the videos and will feature more of them for everybody to see.
On the comic side of things, the first print comic for Video Game Trader is finished and should be in mailboxes soon. So be sure you guys check em' out so you can see the newest comics, the next print comic should be along soon.
I also uploaded two Street Fighter IV videos and my "lost" video of Computer Space onto both Blip and YouTube. I'm going to be uploading more videos onto Blip in the coming weeks, hopefully after I finally finish Mother 3. I'm in New Pork so I'm almost done with it.
Thanks again for checking us out this week and we'll be back again next week!

Sorry for putting the update for Friday on Saturday night but CI's been editing stuff around with the site and I was busy playing the Mother 3.
Yes, after more then 13 years of waiting and two plus years in development they finally released the Mother 3 translation patch! I got the game at the last Too Many Games and it's great now to finally be able to play it!
If you'd like to check it out for yourself, check it out Here!. Big thanks to everybody that helped in the translation and to all the Mother/Earthbound fans for their support!
CI has written up two arcade reviews for us this weekend. Last week he was in Florida on business and checked out Andretti Thrill Park and the Alien Attack arcade in the Orlando Airport. CI also got some pictures and put them into the review for you to check out, so be sure to give em' a look!

Also, Tokyo Game Action will be having a tournament on November 1st!!! All the information on the tournament can be found HERE
with, the addition to the tournament of: Smash Brothers Brawl, Puzzle Fighter, Puzzle Bobble, and Mr Driller.
Incase you haven't checked it out yet, here is a link to episode 3 of our new show "Arcade Hunters,"
Oh, almost forgot but this Saturday is the amazing convention, TOO MANY GAMES! Be sure to check this convention out if you are in the Reading, PA area. Too Many Games is a great place to get together with fellow gamers, buy some old/rare/neat stuff, and to just chill out and play some games. This time they have added a few bands and some panels on top of the already awesomness!!!
Be sure to check back Friday for some writings, new video's, and possibly a new comic (it has been a REALLY long time).
Arcade Hunters: Episode 3
Nick - writer - posted on Saturday, 10/11/08 1:05:28 EDT
Hey everybody. We've got the newest episode of Arcade Hunters up on Blip (As well as the TGA video in much nicer quality!) so be sure to check out out!
Arcade Hunters Episode 3
Now when you go to Blip, you can choose a normal Flash version, or a higher quality Windows AVI file, so if your computer can handle it, make sure you watch with Windows Media version.
I'm going to start posting more of my older videos on to Blip in the coming weeks. The quality isn't going to be that much better, because my camera at the time was older, but it's going to be nice to get off of Revver where the videos are uploaded in timely fashion, rather then waiting 4-5 hours then be told you don't own the rights to your own video.
2600 has gotten work done on the first print comic, so we'll let you know when you can pick it up. I just got a new computer, only took six years so I've been playing lots of Team Fortress 2 and it's so nice to be away from the people on Live.
So till next week, have a good weekend and we'll see you back here next week.
