Workflow surplus

I hope you’re having a good time on Mass Effect 2 and Bioshock 2. Considering my limited resources of money, I’ll be waiting for the first weekend deal on Steam for both of them, in the face of retailers that leave most games full-priced after years.

The latests news include the announcement of Sonic the Hedgehog 4, previously named Project Needlemouse. Smells like New Sonic The Hedgehog Wii.

Regarding the new comic, I though of 2 versions when I was planning it but in the end I decided to use just one of the two and finish the other one just for fun.

Yesterday, or today, morning (depending on where you live) the annual Nintendo Media Summit took place in San Francisco. It was about an hour of release dates, sale data, and trailers. I’ll just list the release dates as they are, considering that there isn’t much we can do about it except saving up.

March 22 – Cave Story Wii
March 28 – Nintendo DSi XL
April 20 – Monster Hunter Tri
May 3 – Picross 3D
May 18 – Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands
May 23 – Super Mario Galaxy 2
June 7 – Sin & Punishment: Star Successor
June 27 – Metroid: Other M

All dates are for American release. No european releases yet but if I am right, we should get them a week after.

Enough talking. Here’s the new Super Mario Galaxy 2 trailer, full of drilling and licking. I know you were waiting for this.

I’m still unsure about Metroid: Other M. The gameplay looks fun but the graphics just don’t do justice to the job Retro Studios did with the Prime series. I’ve been re-playing Metroid Prime Trilogy in these days and looking at the new screenshots doesn’t give me neither the “adventure” nor the “loneliness” Metroid always had. We’ll see. We definitely need more gameplay previews.
