King of all Cosmos struts his stuff for Touch My Katamari screenshot

Namco Bandai released the opening cinematic for Katamari Damacy No-Vita (Touch My Katamari in the US and Europe), coming to PlayStation Vita. You can watch it. The King of all Cosmos has some serious moves. It's easy to forget that after years of him laying about, relying on the forced labor of his child to rebuild the universe.

It's so weird to think about the day I had to call three local stores to find one that had actually ordered a copy of the game to sell in contrast with today, as the game prepares to be a launch title for Sony's big comeback in the handheld market. Amazing.

Classes, War of the Immortals, and YOU!

Classes, War of the Immortals, and YOU! screenshot

War of the Immortals is a free-to-play action MMORPG from Perfect World Entertainment that recently launched into a closed beta. While information was somewhat sparse leading up to this, Perfect World has released a trailer showing off the eight classes in the game. With this comes a glimpse at some of the equipment.

Not a lot is revealed, though each class is thankfully associated with a role in the video, giving an idea of how each one should function. Aesthetically, the game's characters seem to remind me of something out of Monster Hunter at times. So far, I feel it seems to lack something compared to Perfect World's other recent releases such as Rusty Hearts, or the upcoming Blacklight: Retribution.

You can keep track of War of the Immortals as more information comes out on the official website.

The great Zelda musical tribute celebration! Day
two!

The great Zelda musical tribute celebration! Day two! screenshot

The great Zelda musical tribute celebration continues! Yesterday, we listened to what was quite possibly the origins of Zelda fan music. From those humble beginnings, there was nowhere to go but up!

We lead the night with the classic "Zelda with Lyrics" by brentalfloss. Donning some robes and becoming Old Man, he cheers on Link in his first adventure (or is it? *cough*timelineconfusion*cough*). After the jump, we've got Brent's thrilling follow-up, a Ganondorf show tune, and the best thing to ever come out of the dreaded Zelda CD-i games.

"Zelda II with Lyrics" by brentalfloss! As Old Man would say, "Well, DUH!" This time around, we get to see Brent in a really, really short skirt... err... tunic. Did anybody need to see that? Really?

We posted "The Legend of Ganondorf" by Random Encounter earlier this year, and now I'm posting it again. Why not? Ganon deserves a little love and attention too, doesn't he? You gotta admit, the man's got some killer tap dancing skills! Though, it's ironic that he would wish to forget the Zelda CD-i trilogy...

... 'cause this song ensures that will never happen! The Zelda CD-i games were, for lack of a better word, shit, but damn it if those hilariously bad animated cutscenes weren't the greatest things ever! How can those cartoon abortions be made even better? Why, with the remix "Drop the Dodongo" by Verix, of course!

That's it for now, folks! Catch you tomorrow!

Duck dragons and other weirdness in Tiny Plumbers

Duck dragons and other weirdness in Tiny Plumbers screenshot

video details and more

Independent developer Robot<3Kitty is in the process of designing Tiny Plumbers, a game heavily inspired by the continuing adventures of Mario. Five bucks gets you can early version for PC and Mac, with the finished product looking at a launch price of $10.

The art style is exactly the kind I would mentally attach to the word "indie." Despite some familiar elements, this game delves into alternate-history territory with its oddball enemies (Reptar, is that you? With a cowboy hat?), quirky sound effects, and whatever the hell that was at the end with those flying dudes.

Penny Arcade is making a Skyward Sword comic

Penny Arcade is making a Skyward Sword comic screenshot

If you visited Penny Arcade today, you would have learned that the boys were tapped by Nintendo to do a special five-page Skyward Sword comic. I've enjoyed Mike Krahulik's artwork as it developed over the years, and I am really excited to see his take on Skyward Sword's watercolor style.

Understandably, Mike was excited but nervous -- the Zelda team of course had to approve of his designs. Never fear, though! Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma himself gave Mike's work a big thumbs up! I'm thinking good things are about to unfold!

Starting today, one page will be released per day on the official Zelda homepage. You really ought to bookmark it and check in on it throughout the week!

Keep on milking Robin Williams, Nintendo!

Keep on milking Robin Williams, Nintendo! screenshot

Okay, Nintendo. We get it. Robin Williams is a total videogame nerd who named his daughter after Princess Zelda. One thing, though... Zelda Williams isn't in this commercial! I don't want extreme closeups of Robin's creepy old man lips!

DCUO launches The Deadly Double Cross update screenshot

If you're among the one million people who jumped into DC Universe Online since it went free-to-play, SOE has some new content for you. In the game's sixth update, titled The Deadly Double Cross, players will battle together with Superman and Lex Luthor against that double-crossing jerk General Zod.

This will continue where the last update, The Fate of the Fortress, left off, bringing an end to DCUO's Fortress of Solitude raid series. The update will also introduces more gear like the Kryptonian Military weapons forged from Sunstone crystals.
