Video Game News Digest - 06/08/07

Well, some stuff happened today, but nothing terribly exciting, so you know what that means: it's time for another:


1. Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the highly anticipated Wii release, will have four different styles of control. Stick with me here: you can either use just the Wii-mote, the Wii-mote with nunchuck attachment, the Classic Controller, or a Gamecube controller. How they can manage to make a style for just the Wii-mote, with all of it's four accessible buttons, is beyond me. Perhaps there will be waggle involved. Much waggle.



2. Konami released a remastered version of the Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer which showed at E3 2006. I guess it is more important to pretty up a year-old trailer, as opposed to, I don't know, working on the game.



3. Assassin's Creed is going to drop this November for the PS3 and XBox 360, unless enough PS3 fanboys protest it's multi-platformosity. If that happens, then it will come out on the PS3 and XBox 360.


4. Finally, Myst is coming to the DS. I remember playing the crap out of this game on PC in middle school. My friends would ask me - where are all the guns? Where are all the enemies? "Don't you understand," I would reply, "free will is the enemy. Choice; one's own judgment of good and evil, those are the antagonists!" I didn't have many friends in middle school.



Until the next slow news day, I bid you adieu.
