Subject: Random gaming things
A few things have come to my attention lately and I'd like to make note of them. These things include new game releases, mostly, but also a few other things.
1. Thexder Neo is out for PSP. At first it hit me as a bit of a surprise, coming out of nowhere with only two weeks before release. Now, it's actually out, and Mecha Damashii has a review.
2. XBOX Live Arcade continues to get releases that tempt me, including a recent re-release of Nectaris/Military Madness, a game which I hold very dear. I played the demo, and I'm tempted to buy, but I'm annoyed by the controls. It's been twenty years, why am I still playing with a d-pad? Why can't I use the analogue stick for unit selection, instead of the rather superfluous map scrolling? Why can't I reverse them? ARGH, that's the only reason I haven't bought it yet. I mean, the 360 d-pad really sucks!
They also released Bust a Move, though I had to use a US account since it was released everywhere but India, Korea, and Australia/New Zealand. Well, turns out I don't care if it's not available to me, it sucks. Slow, and it has shitty new music. Does anyone like this new version?
3. There's a Castlevania remix coming out. It's for the Wii, which is annoying (I'd have to dig it out and plug it in again...) but hey, it's Castlevania. That's always good. =D
