Those of you interested in the import gaming scene might want to hit VGD. Street Fighter Zero 3 for the GBA dropped this week. I had the opportunity to play this game at E3 this year and it's fucking incredible. It is an amazing conversion with a ton of animation and great art. The other cool thing is that you can play import games on a US GBA. No need for any special adaptors or Mods, just plug it in and go. Also coming out this week is the latest Neo-Geo release, Rage of the Dragons. I honestly have not had a chance to play this one yet so I can't say much about it. It's a 2D fighter based on the Double Dragon Universe and from what I hear it's pretty solid.
In other Neo-Geo related news, Kiko and I have combined our powers Wonder Twins style and created a T-shirt design for the Neo-Geo.com T-shirt contest. You can see our entry here. There is no word yet on when or how a winner will be picked but we are keeping our fingers crossed.
Thank you to everyone who sent in your suggestions for future Club PA gifts. It seems like lots of you are just looking for an opportunity to play some games with Tycho and myself. Well we are working on getting that set up right now. Once we have the server information available we will be posting the details in the member's only forum. All you need to do to get access to that forum is send me an e-mail with your forum nickname and proof of your donation. I'll take care of the rest. The other big Club PA gift that it seems people are hungry for is Penny Arcade's Over-Easy. Well I have talked to Tycho about it and we are going to try and do it. Our plan is to do one page a month for Club PA members. Over-Easy has been in the works now for over three years. I have folders full of reference material and concept art just waiting to be used. For those of you unfamiliar with the project, Over-Easy is a full blown comic book that pays homage to classic Hong-Kong action movies like Hard-Boiled. We are talking car chases, helicopters, all kinds of shit exploding, plenty of gun fu, and lots and lots of blood. The plan is to have the first page ready for Club PA members in October. I'll let you know more next month.
50% through Starfox, it just keeps getting better.
-Gabe out.
