Sonic CD download this winter 04 September 2011
A port of probably the best ever Sonic The Hedghog game, 1993's Sonic CD for Mega CD, is heading to PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, PC, and iOS and other mobile devices before the end of the year. This was previously only available on PC and Sonic Gems Collection.
Apparently this was playable at the recent PAX Prime 2011 event. The port is being handled by an independent mobile developer but will feature tweaks and additional support for swipy fingers. By circumstance more than anything at this stage, it appears it will use the Japanese soundtrack and not the hideous US-remix that most people are familiar with.
The trailer probably isn't worth watching, but a note to publisher SEGA and "brand managers" on this matter: hey, stop trying to re-contextualise and appropriate a near 20 year-old Japanese-developed game in order to promote your decidedly tacky-looking new software. As much as you'd like to think you ain't, you are pointless.

FireNes now with Game Boy support 02 July 2011
I've mentioned this before, but something just got even more perfect. FireNes, the world's bestest browser plugin has been swiftly updated to support the lastest version of Firefox, 5.0. Not only that, but it now also supports Game Boy emulation, with 1400 games. The game window seems a bit over-large for the Game Boy's tiny resolution display, but other than that this wonderful.
Head on over to the website and download now, and donate if you are able.

New Kirby in development for Wii 29 January 2011
Nintendo has posted a small video of a new 2D Kirby game in development for Wii. Following the idiosyncratic Kirby's Epic Yarn, this new one looks graphically- and possibly gameplay-wise in line with more traditional entries in the series, bearing some resemblance to the cancelled GameCube game Kirby's Adventure, and of course the Nintendo 64 title Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Hopefully it plays with a little more urgency than that one, even though I did quite enjoy it.
HAL Laboratory are to head up development duties again: other than that I'm not really sure what else there is to know right now. Looks nice though, so taking a gander at the trailer is probably a good start.

Ghost Trick NDS 09 December 2010
The Japanese have had this for a good while, but more details are now appearing on the western translation of Capcom's delightful DS title Ghost Trick, due for release in 2011.
The premise seems to be a mix of Phoenix Wright's angular character art style and storytelling, with gameplay elements from Wave Master's Roommania #203. It looks intriguing, wonderful almost. Peruse the official site for various videos, illustrations, and even a demo of the game.
Look out for this in Europe sometime after the US release in February.
