Last time we posted aboutPokemon Park Wii: Pikachu’s Great Adventure, there was some confusion about if the game would come to retail or a be WiiWare title. If it was a WiiWare title, then the game’s 1st gen-Gamecube quality graphics would be understandable. If it was was a retail game, then yeah, it should probably lookbetterdifferent. Though it’s sometimes easy to forget, the Wii is technically more powerful than the Gamecube, and Pokemon is one of Nintendo’s most important and successful franchises....

The popular 90s trivia game seriesYou Don’t Know Jack, as revealed on theGiant Bombcast, is being brought back into the fray by Jellyvision and THQ. On the game’s official website, Jellyvisionlovingly says“We told you so. P.S. More THQ/JellyvisionYDKJpartnership news to come. Stay tuned!” Not a whole lot to go on necessarily, unless you happen to be a fan and are immensely satisfied by the mere existence of a new installment. I’m not familiar with these games,at all, so I took it to Jonathan Ross to catch me up to speed on all thingsYou Don’t Know Jack....

Looks like the next entry in theLegend of Zeldaseries is almost done, with Nintendo claiming that the “finishing touches” are being put onSkyward Sword. The news comes from a recent investment meeting, where the publisher revealed thatSkyward Swordwas in its final production phase, getting that last spit n’ polish before completion. Looks like we’re on track for a 2011 release, which is excellent. The last we heard about the game, it was “over half done” which didn’t sound like they were close to being done....

Oh, those rascals over at Ziff Davis, always playing pranks. You truly do tickle my funny bone. I love how long it takes the guy to realize that they’re screwing with him. It’s an original idea to do, and for passers by, it’ll just screw with their heads. “Why are you playing a PS1 game on the Wii?” I wonder how people would react to seeing someone playingDead Risingon the Wii....

After four hundred and sixty-seven lewd e-mails from us, Rare and Microsoft Games Studios decided to listen.Perfect Dark Zerowill finally be updated with “Legacy” and “Southpaw” control schemes, both of which were left out of the final release of the Nintendo 64 classic port. It might be true, at least. At 11:59 AM on April 1st, game producer Nick Ferguson (ForensicGunk)tweeted a “sneak peek”of the supposed control scheme update, adding that it will hit at the “end of April” via a Title Update....

Out of all the Atari games to hit Steam, there were really only two that stood out to me. The first wasIndigo Prophecy, forobvious reasons, and the other wasRoller Coaster Tycoon 3: Platinum. If my second choice has you questioning my taste in games, I’m almost positive that the embedded video will convince you otherwise. It’s a shame they didn’t just use it as the actual commercial for the game, because nothing gets you in the buying mood quite like murderous roller coasters....

Last night, a handful of you had a chat about how independent games sometimes opt for unusual names.AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! — A Reckless Disregard for Gravitystarted the discussion, and strangely enough, the studio who made that game just announced its next project. And — wait for it! — the new title’s name is1… 2… 3… Kick It! (Drop That Beat Like an Ugly Baby). It presents you with a similar concept of falling through abstract worlds, but this time said worlds are created by way of your music collection....

More detailshave surfacedregarding Sega’sAliens vs Predator, courtesy of the BritishOfficial Xbox Magazine. The fresh intel concerns a few tweaks and changes that Rebellion has made to the classes since we first sawAvPon PC so many years ago. Predator fans will be pleased to know that the dreadlocked skull fetishists have had quite the overhaul, with a lot more skills this time than just being able to turn invisible. Along with their signature cloaking device, Predators also get to jump and glide from ledges and tree branches, making them more suited to being the stealthy hunters that they were in films....

I’ve been a champion for Capcom’sDark Voidsince I saw it early last year. Combining Airtight Studios’ air-combat pedigree with a jet-pack and some machine guns? Sold. But this 8-bit concept for the title that Capcom’s cooked up for April Fools’ day is as glorious — if not more so — than the version that actually hits PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC later this year. They’ve given the title a retro makeover, complete with a classic 8-bit title screen, a familiar Mega Man-esque sprite of the game’s main character, and a remix of the game’s main theme....

The catch, though, is that you’ll have to answer those questions invideoform, specifically, as avideo responseto this informational clip below recorded by Atlus’ resident PR maestro Aram Jabbari. All you need to do is make your own video answering the following questions: It’s pretty much a YouTube-based version ofa previous JapaneseCatherinetrailer, which used street interviews instead. Are you thinking of (video) responding to the call? I would, but I’m not sure it’s legal to marry anAegis Figma....
