The game will be distributed by Nintendo DS in Europe, Middle East and Africa this November 2010. Fans in Europe will be able to buy the game bundled with an exclusive DS Case or a Winx Club Watch at selected retailers. Ever since its explosion on TV in 2004, the Winx Club has been been winning the hearts of fans with the enchanting fairies and their fantastic adventures between the planet earth and the Magical Dimension. In the TV series viewers follow the fun of young fairy friends Bloom, Stella, Flora, Tecna, Layla, Musa and Roxy as they make friends, battle enemies and unearth the amazing secrets around them. In WINX CLUB: ROCKSTARS the fairy friends head out on a new kind of adventure, swapping their magic for guitars and microphones and whipping up a fairy rock star frenzy on stage. Fans will be able to play their favourite Winx Club fairy, choose one of four musical instruments to rock out with, and practice more than 12 exclusive Winx Club songs as they aim for the big time. Mastering the rhythmic gameplay and hitting high scores gives players the chance to style and customize their characters to make an even bigger splash when they’re under the lights. “Interactive platforms and specifically the video game market are very important for our business,” said Iginio Straffi, Founder and President, RAINBOW S.p.A, “this important new launch with Bandai Namco, one of the prestigious partner in the industry, underlines the strength and value of the property.” “It’s great news that we are able to continue our relationship with Rainbow and bring another game based on this fantastic license to fans in Europe,” said Alberto González Lorca, Vice President Third Parties, NAMCO BANDAI Partners S.A.S. “Winx Club: Rockstars takes this enormously popular property in a new musical game direction, which is very exciting for us and adds even more breadth and strength to our diverse line up.” WINX CLUB: ROCKSTARS for Nintendo DS is scheduled for release in November 2010 across EMEA.

According to information pulled by the EEDAR, it looks like most consumers are looking for game DLC 1 to 3 months after launch. I guess in that time span most consumers have completed what comes boxed with the game, and are looking for some new content and features to expand both single and multiplayer. How long does it take for you to feel that itch for new game content? Link

Ah, it’s been awhile since we had a show that screwed up while recording. Glad to see that we can still have problems from time to time! The show ended up saving at a much lower quality than normal. Rather than edit down a show and make it harder to hear, I’m just giving you the raw file. It’s better than nothing, but it’s certainly not up to our usual standards. My apologies for the issue! Download the show here (thanks to our old comic artist Scott for his artwork!)

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
