Breaking News: I'm awesome

Welcome to my underground lair,

Well, looks like my reckless and irresponsible rumor-mongering has finally paid off, as NiGHTS Wii and the XB0X 360 1337 have both been confirmed in the past couple of days. Apparently, Microsoft's new SKU does not include the newer, cooler 65 nm chips, which seems dumb, but who knows? Hopefully by the time I have the cash to buy one there will have been another revision.

In other news, Mario and Sonic are teaming up to take on the 2008 Olympics on the Wii and the DS. This should prove interesting; I am looking forward to seeing Nintendo's interpretation of the various events. Isn't Sonic a little unfair in any race? Mario seems like a shoe-in for the hammer toss or high jump....unless our blue hedgehog has all the emeralds. Ahem. /geeking out. With any luck they will continue their rivalry into Brawl.

I am currently playing Rondo of Blood (thanks go to Pkadden for providing) and not working as I perhaps should be. Oh well. Rondo! Never released in America, old-school Castlevania at its best. Expect to see some CV reviews here soon. Woo, 2D gaming.

We meet at last for the first time for the last time,

So, rumor-mongering. My last post concerned the rumors flying hither and thither across this vast wasteland known as the Internet regarding the 360 hardware revision. The fact is though, this has yet to be announced by Microsoft. However many rumors do end up becoming a reality (See: PS Home, DMC4), it was unprofessional of me to write about unconfirmed speculation. I apologize; somehow you may find it in your hearts to forgive me.

I hope though you will understand why I did it. Speculation, gossiping or whatever you want to call it, is fun. Late last night I posted a topic on the lone forum I frequent about a new NiGHTS game for the Wii, only to have people more thorough than I shoot it down. This is not to say Yuji Naka's non-Sonic fan favorite is not coming to a next-gen console near you, but the confirmation came from a source of dubious reliability.

So, I feel pretty silly. As they say though, always look on the bright side of life. I think I have learned my lesson: speculate as much as you want, but do not leave an evidence in case you are wrong.

I'm outta here,
Sonic
