I don’t normally post movie news but this deserves special mention.

It looks like they are developing a 4th live action TMNT movie after all! Who would have thought after the appalling 3rd installment?!

News comes directly from the official 25th anniversary site and if you are a martial arts expert looking to BE a turtle, look no further than their casting calls, commencing July 18th in Los Angles, CA: link

So what will a third installment be like? Will it follow the story from the original movies or will it follow suit with the cartoon and start a new line of flicks? Either way, it’s hard to believe that so many years, hundreds of cartoons and a CGI movie later, we are getting another LIVE ACTION turtles movie.

I’ll be there opening day with ticket in hand, will you?

Well, sort of. The newest Metroid (subtitled “Other M”) in the series looks to have elements of both 2D side scrolling and 3D 1st and 3rd person perspective gameplay. There aren’t many other details available other than a projected release date of 2010 (can you believe that’s next year?) and a brief trailer which you can check out after the jump.

This is one I am salivating to get my chompers into so expect more coverage as it emerges.

It looks like another fan boy dream-em-up but this really is the next incarnation of the PSP. No, it’s still not the PSP2, it’s the third envisioning of the PSP.

The screen looks to be a bit smaller than the previous models but still large enough to see well and it looks to be again a bit more colourful that it’s predecessors.

It’s hard to say if the PSP really needed yet another revamp but if it’s your thing, the PSP Go allegedly goes on sale on October 1st.

It’s funny, ever since my better half decided she wanted a Wii I thought “Great! Now we can play games together!” and when it arrived, I quickly realized this was not something I’d spend much time on.

Fast forward two years and now I play it more than her. Is it the release of Gradius Generations? No. Punchout Wii? Nope. Could it be the fact that it’s the best platform to emulate all the classic games I love using Virtual Console? Well, no.

It’s the fact that it’s the best platform to emulate all the classic games I love using homebrew emulators.

It’s been a while since I last posted, apologies for that folks. I plan to be more proactive with Gamernator in the future.

At E3 Nintendo announced that they would be revisiting the Super Mario Bros franchise yet again with New Super Mario Bros, this time for the Wii.

Nintendo has announced release dates for about 120 of their titles but only one stuck out to me, Punchout!!

The game we’ve been waiting about 12 years for is due to be released on May 18th, though going by previous release dates, I’d consider that a rough guide.

Two an a half months is pretty awesome though, realistic or not, I’m seriously looking forward to this one.

James Rolf has announced on his blog that he is selling some Angry Video Game Nerd artifacts on Ebay to help fund new episodes in the series.

James stated in his Zelda CDI reviews (beatdowns?) that he had spent in excess of $700 on the system and games just for the review.

The auctions started today and will run until next Wednesday but don’t expect to pick up a bargain, these things have already had a large number of bids and there’s plenty of time left.

Take a look at what he’s selling here.

It seems Do Don Pachi Dai Ou Jou Black Label Extra (I think that actually beats SSF2THDR) isn’t quite living up to expectations as some gamers have noted there are some bugs in the gameplay. Not great news for a game that relies on split second decision making and precise game mechanics.

I got impatient. Real impatient. Ok, I know it’s not a widescreen LCD but regardless, this.. is.. awesome.

In case your wondering, that’s a Japanese sit-down cabinet or as we know them over this side of the Atlantic, a “Candy Cab”. This one happens to be a Taito Egret II and the monitor can be rotated by way of a set of bearings and little effort for those crazy vertical shmups.

I like this setup so much I think I’m going to find it hard to justify building that Astro City panel up!
