We don’t know why everyone thinks Nintendo is weird. Don’t lie and say you haven’t wanted to ride piece of plastic at one point in your life. Seriously: don’t lie.
News Blips:
• Nintendo not even trying anymore: Patent horseback riding doohickey. Really, Nintendo? Is this the best you can do? Pretend like you care. Just once. [Siliconera]
• Can’t wait: Mad Catz teams up with Modern Warfare 2 to make tacky controllers. Regular controllers are vanilla. Modern Warfare 2-themed controllers from Mad Catz are chocolate-covered salami. Our stomach (and eyes) are upset. [Kotaku]
• Buy three Capcom games for the price of one game that’s discounted a little bit. Capcom is bundling together Dead Rising, Lost Planet, and Devil May Cry 4 for the low, low price of $39.99. We suck at math, but we know if you were put the savings in a percentage, it would look impressive. Like better than a 1% saving. [Capcom-Unity]
• Buy Guitar Hero 5, get another Guitar Hero game whether you like it or not. Seems like Activision Blizzard isn’t confident about Guitar Hero: Van Halen, as it’s giving it away for free when you pre-order Guitar Hero 5 and/or get it soon after release. Hmm, why is it that the Capcom offer above seems like a better deal than free? [1UP]
