I just watched this trailer for Devil May Cry 4. It is on of the best trailers I have watched in a long time. It got me really excited for this game. One of the biggest reasons is that it seems to have a real storyline and not just a go to this castle, and fight this dark lord. Also the voice acting does not seem tacked on. You need to take the time to let the whole HD trailer load because it is totally worth it.

While I’m not a Smash Bros player (I stick with my Street Fighter and sometimes Power Stone) I can’t deny that it’s still a solid series and this game looks good. Good to hear that using the remote and Nunchuck is an option since the rumor was going around it was going to be using only Gamecube or Classic controllers, and I don’t really support the idea of the Wii not including what you need to play the key Nintendo franchises.

Just got emailed a link to an amazing article from next month’s Game Informer.  Don’t want to steal anyone’s thunder, so I’ll just post the link and let you check the scans yourself.

No More Heroes is the kind of game that makes me happy that I own a Wii. Check out this preview video and you will understand. More games like this need to be made.

Sony has announce that they will be releasing a white and black 40GB PS3 in Japan on November 11th. This PS3 will be different from previous models in a few way. First it will lose all backwards compatibility by losing the memory card slot and SACD reading function. Also on the chopping block are 2 of the 4 USB ports. It will also come bundled with the Dualshock 3 controller. This bundle will retail in Japan for $341

Sony has released a theme creator that lets users create there own themes for the PSP. This software will now allow users not only to change the backgrounds on there PSP’s, but also all the icons to go along with them. As you might have been able to tell we here at Bad-Soda.com all own PSP’s and really think they are much better with cool backgrounds so look forward to some themes to go along with all the backgrounds we have been putting out. Also, before you go off saying that we are just Sony, “fanboys,” know that we each own a DS lite as well. We would be happy to put out some backgrounds for that system, but it does not allow you to do so. Here is the link to download the PSP theme creator. It is a Windows only download, and the instructions are in Japanese for the time being, but the software itself is in English.

If you were lucky enough to own or play Dragon Quest IV, (I know it is “Dragon Warrior” in the US, but it is really Dragon Quest,) on the NES, then you know what an awesome game it is. I am happy that Square-Enix is giving it the remake treatment. I am also happy that they are putting it on the DS, because I am running out of games to play on that system. The video shows a lot of the gameplay. It looks like they have done a lot to stay true to the original game. The graphics are tons better and even the turn based fighting seems like it has been improved a lot. It is scheduled for release this year in Japan, and hopefully soon after in the US.

If you like Final Fantasy then you need to go check out these videos. The good folks of Gametrailers.com have put together a great history of Final Fantasy from the beginning to today. It is going to be a 13 part series and today they have reached the 8th part in the series, so if this is the first you have heard of it you have a lot of catching up to do. Each video is about 10-20 min of pure Final Fantasy goodness. These videos are some of the best “history” videos I have ever watched for a video game series. That is due in part to the fact that I am a HUGE Final Fantasy fan. I own almost every version of every Final Fantasy that has been released in the States.
