That’s right folks, check it out! According to Brian Dunn, Product Marketing Specialist at Capcom, over at the official Capcom BBS. Basically, according to Brian, if were to pause the game and took away the background, the character art will look like this. THAT’S CRAZY OFF THE CHAIN GOOD!

Let me level with you, this wasn’t a game that I requested to review. The way I wound up with it mainly went like, “Atelier Iris 3, it’s a sequel to a fantasy RPG series I’ve never played before, huh? Well, I’m not looking at anything else at the moment, so go and send it my way. It can’t be that bad.” Sounds like a recipe for disaster, right? Well much to my surprise, I wound up enjoying this game a lot more than I expected to. The turn based battle system and alchemic item creation system have a lot of depth to them, making them really fun to use. Unfortunately the story, and game world aren’t nearly as deep.

I have to admit, I was really looking forward to tackling this one. The advance buzz indicated that it would probably be the sleeper hit of the summer thanks to its fantastic graphics and intense 2D action. Now, after having sunk many hours of my life into it I can say that the buzz wasn’t quite all that. The game is undeniably beautiful, and the 2D action is intense, but the gameplay isn’t varied enough to avoid repetition if you’re hell-bent on playing through all the game has to offer. I’m not saying you shouldn’t buy the game, as I did have a lot of fun with it, but don’t go in expecting “TEH GREATEST CULT HIT EVAR!!1!”

This week, Wii VC will see the following classic titles:
Streets of Rage 2: Remember this OG beat’em up during the Genesis Dynasty? Awesome title if you ask me. Gave Final Fight a run for it’s money.
Donkey Kong Country 2: If you played the first one on the SNES, then you’ll probably like the sequel.
Blazing Lasers: This one was off the TG16 system and all I remember from this game was me getting shot down every other minute. A very bad ass shooter but also damn hard.

Every gamer was jazzed when news of the Virtual Console first broke. It was going to be a real opportunity for old school gamers to re-live the golden days on genuine Nintendo hardware, not to mention an opportunity for the young’uns to see where all of the flagship franchises they now know of came from. Gamers who unwittingly threw out their old systems and games would finally have the chance to play those games again, skipping gleefully down nostalgia road with a happy song on their lips…

Not exactly sure how they are doing this but it looks like you need a hacked PSP firmware to make this happen. But it sure looks really dope for what its worth.
