Friday is here and I couldn’t be happier! My copy of Ivy the Kiwi? should be arriving at my front door in a few hours. What a great game to relax with over the weekend…I hope! Here’s to hoping that you guys have some great games lined up for the weekend as well. Let’s get through Friday so we can have some fun! I’m off to bed for some much-needed rest. That’ll help me power through Friday! See you in a few, short hours. P.S. - Unless I’m mistaken, Metroid: Other M reviews go live at 1 PM EST today! We have ours ready. I can’t wait to see what others think! Damnit Cory, why on earth do you have to keep making such great comics? Last week to put together a comic that I thought was my favorite one yet. That was a multi-panel comic that was full of great art and a wonderful joke. This time around you go with a single panel paired with a great joke and some beautiful art. Now I think I have yet another favorite! It’s very clear to me now. The only thing Cory knows is how to top his previous work with each passing week!

Well, I have some good news and some bad news. Good news is, the show does sound better. The bad news is, it’s not back to normal! I thought I had everything set up right, but I guess not. Don’t you just love when problems pop up with something that was working 100% perfectly just a few days ago?! Download the show here (May this picture of Deux and I make up for our audio issues!)

How about that Metroid: Other M live-action commercial?! Man, I can’t stop watching that baby. Some of the best commercial work Nintendo has ever done, in my opinion. It seems like Nintendo really knows how to nail the Metroid TV spots. I’m going to head off and dream about that one! I’ll see you all in a few, short hours. P.S. - Thanks to everyone for the email/Facebook birthday wishes yesterday! I really, really appreciate all the kind words. Time for me to jump the gun with volume 2 of the ‘bit and run’ series. I can already say that this comic is one of my favorites in the entire series, and that goes for both volumes 1 and 2. I love the art-style, and the joke is spot-on. I love the way that Cory manages to tell a story, make it beautiful, hit all the right nostalgic notes, and come off being funny and thought-engaging. More than I could ever hope to accomplish with a drawing!

GoNintendo ‘End of Day’ thoughts - Cory Godbey’s ‘bit and run’ Volume 2: #3
Direct link, more screens and art here Release Date: Early 2011 Genre: Action Adventure Platform: Nintendo DS Rating: Pending Developer: Capcom Publisher: Capcom Game Description: Ōkamiden is a picturesque action adventure game for the Nintendo DS. Taking place a few months after the events of Ōkami, Ōkamiden will follow the adventures of Chibiterasu – a young sun god who is summoned to protect the land. Following in the footsteps of its parent Amaterasu, the sun-god-turned-wolf in Ōkami, Chibiterasu takes the form of an adorable wolf pup for the mission ahead. Chibiterasu will join forces with a rich cast of characters to fight off a new threat that has leeched the world of its vibrant color again. Beyond the battles, Chibiterasu and buddies will come to realize their inner potential and accept the kinship that comes with being the children of great heroes and gods. Using the DS stylus, players will wield a celestial brush controlled by Chibiterasu. This powerful tool can attack enemies, paint helpful objects and structures into existence and help Chibiterasu perform exceptional feats that will change the world before the player’s eyes. Chibiterasu’s partners in the game will have unique abilities of their own that help the player conquer puzzles and face an onslaught of perilous challenges. By blending vivid myth, artistic action and the innovative Nintendo DS, Ōkamiden has all the makings of a handheld classic. Ōkamiden takes the best elements of the Ōkami series and combines them with invigorating new features delivering an extraordinary adventure sure to please fans of the series and newcomers alike. In development for the Nintendo DS™, Ōkamiden will be available early 2011. Features: • Canvas and Brush: The touch screen and stylus of the Nintendo DS™ are the ideal tools to simulate Okamiden’s trademark celestial brush. The stylus brushstrokes are pressure sensitive helping to accurately depict the look and feel of Sumi-e artwork – a graceful watercolor art. • Partner-Up: As you encounter various characters throughout the game players can join forces with certain new characters, such as Kuni, a young swordsman and Nanami, a blue-haired mermaid, each possessing unique abilities that will help Chibiterasu defeat enemies and conquer puzzles. • Striking Visuals: The beauty of the highly stylized Japanese calligraphy and scroll paintings are depicted in pixel-perfect handheld glory. • Dynamic Action: Employ brush techniques learned from various celestial deities and Power Slash, Bloom, and battle a diverse lineup of monsters and demons rooted in Japanese folklore. • Interactive Puzzles: Draw bridges into existence, transverse canyons, and connect winding paths through space by using the celestial brush and the abilities of Chibiterasu’s partners. • Ensemble Cast: The main character, Chibiterasu, is a youthful sun god that has taken the form of an adorable wolf pup. Chibiterasu partners up with an equally endearing cast of characters that aim to restore order to the land while learning lessons from majestic, playful deities. Many characters will be easily recognizable to fans of Ōkami™ while several are new to the series. • Compelling Narrative: Ōkamiden tells an amazing story that is both morally impactful and fun. With a complex mix of themes like friendship, responsibility and love between parent and child, players are promised a memorable experience.

Okamiden - Gamescom 2011: trailer, screens, art, fact sheet
That new Metroid: Other M trailer is jam-packed full of interesting stuff. I think we need one of those GameTrailers breakdown videos to see all the new and mysterious stuff that is shown off. Make sure you catch that one before you head off to bed! I saw it a few times now, so I’m off to get my sleep! See you in a few, short hours. Oh man, this Kirby cartoon isn’t that good at all. I can’t wait to see just how different the Japanese version is compared to this butchered NA version. I can’t get over some of the decisions made. For example, what the hell is up with King Dedede’s voice? Man, it drives me absolutely nuts! I mean, that’s just a minor quibble in the grand scheme of things, but it’s still a complaint! It just seems like a snowball of bad decisions that running full steam ahead. Perhaps episode 2 is a bit better? Direct link and parts 2, 3 here

Holy crap, 260 shows already? Does that mean something special? We couldn’t really figure that out during the show, but I’d say that it was still a good one. Just ignore the music section, because we absolutely bomb that. Download the show here (and please put that picture to good use!)
