What ho, loyal followers, and welcome to the Thursday edition of Hey! Look! Listen!
As always, I am your host Oliver Motok, and I’m really tired for some reason. Sounds like we have a super-sleepy edition on our hands. I doubt it will make a whole lot of difference, honestly, since I’m skilled at writing in a variety of mental states, but we’ll see how it goes.
Onward and forward!
Nintendo Hopes to “Surprise” Zelda Fans at E3 2010
I want another console Zelda. As I’ve stated on numerous occasions, The Legend of Zelda is my favorite videogame series of all time, and these three long years since Twilight Princess have been painful indeed. Yes, I know Spirit Tracks is forthcoming, but it will likely just whet my appetite further for a true console release.
But there is hope! Speaking to UK’s Official Nintendo Magazine, producer Eiji Aonuma had this to say:
“I hope that we can show you something at the E3 show next year, and it is something we are hopeful will be surprising.”
Nice. I’m hopeful as well. I mean, that’s pretty vague, but I’m willing to latch onto anything at this point. He went on to say this:
“…we have been trying something new in terms of the structure of the Wii version of the new Zelda game this time. I am really hopeful that people will be surprised with the changes we have implemented for this Wii version.”
Yeah, me too. Man, I really AM tired. That wasn’t even a real news story, was it… sigh.
No More Heroes Coming to PS3, 360
Nice. VERY nice. I’ve yet to play No More Heroes on the Wii, and I might as well wait for the sure-to-be-prettier version now. According to some Famitsu screens that surfaced on Wii@Everyday, Suda 51’s critically acclaimed action game will soon be released on the Xbox 360 and PS3. No real details have been announced, but it’s definitely happening. Woo!
Sony Launches the PlayStation 2 In Brazil
No, it’s not a misspell. Poor Brazil, so behind the times. Regardless, I’d be happy for them, but it reportedly costs R$799, which roughly equals USD $465.
Four hundred and sixty-five dollars. To buy a PlayStation 2 in Brazil. Just when you thought you’d heard it all, eh?
I apologize for this disgustingly short HLL, but frankly there isn’t much happening in the gaming world today. And, as I’ve stated before, I’m really damn tired. But don’t fret, I’m sure I’ll be back to form soon. Look for a full review of Assassin’s Creed II soon, and of course, another Hey! Look! Listen! on Tuesday next.

I’m really looking forward to No More Heroes!
BTW you should have mentioned something about all the banned 360 pirates filling a class action against M$ FTL.
I’m just surprised he was able to pop one out at all!
- From what I heard, No More Hero’s assassination missions were pretty good, but the filler content got really repetitive (which, now that I think about it, actually ties it to the theme week). I’m curious to see if they’re just doing a straight port of the Wii version with minor improvements, or if they’re going to address some of the issues with the original game when putting it on PS3/360, especially considering the stricter competition of games on those systems.
- Sorry if I’m just in the dark on this one, but why is Brazil just getting the PS2 now? And why’s it so bloody expensive?!? Seriously, you could nearly get a 360 and PS3 for that much here!
- The Zelda surprise is probably that it requires the Wii Fit Plus balance board.
Thanks for the fantastic page – I had fun reading it! I always enjoy reading your blog. :)
