We don't always like being nonplussed

News Roundup! 1/8/11

That Guy is sleeping off some extreme stomach discomfort at the moment, so Mother/Earthbound Zero will recommence tomorrow! And now, the news:

First off, this week's special guest in Dragon Quest IX is Kiefer Gran of Dragon Quest/Warrior VII and Dragon Quest Monsters Caravan Hearts! Be sure your Hero is an Armamentalist if you want his shoes, and make sure the DS thinks it's your birthday if you'd like to be able to equip his hair. Also, you may have missed Ms. Bianca Whitaker from Dragon Quest V who appeared over the last few weeks. I did, since she didn't appear on a Friday as is customary. She gives an extra gift to Mages.

Next, what is to me a long-awaited announcement: Gurren Lagann will be in the next Super Robot Wars game! Also, the version of Mazinger Z in this SRW will be specifically from Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-Chapter, the first movement in what I'm increasingly sure is going to be G-Gundam director Yasuhiro Imagawa's great unfinished symphony. (Well, one of. The guy kind of has a problem with doing a whole story one way or the other.) Between this, Tactics Ogre and the nifty 2D Final Fantasy IV remake, it's a good year to own a PSP. Go figure!

Lastly, if you're near a Gamestop, you may want to stop in tomorrow for a Shiny Raikou. If you don't get there in time they might go and tell you that you should've preordered it, which is usually what they tell me five minutes before I drive six blocks in any direction to a store ending in -Mart.

That's it for today- completely uninformed wandering through games in foreign languages resumes tomorrow!
