Hudson PR

Posted on 14 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii | 2 Comments

Normally with press releases that I see, I try to keep them in original form so you guys can read exactly what a developer or publisher wanted you to, but in this case I’m making an exception because it’s far more personable for me to type. For those that haven’t heard, Lost in Shadow developer Hudson is looking to give some money to charity, and they’re doing so based on the number of “Likes” their facebook page for the game gets.

Of course, this is where you guys come in.

^You guys^

All you have to do is “Like” their facebook page and they’ll donate 10 cents to “Child’s Play”, which is a community based charity that was actually started by some people at PAX. Go gaming! If you want to donate even more, change your profile picture to a shadow and they’ll up your donation to $1 instead of 10 cents!

Honestly, I’m a big advocate for charity and things, so please guys, just click that “Like” button! It’s easy, and it’s good to do. Thanks a bunch!

Here’s the link to their facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/lostinshadow

Tomorrow is the last day for the event, so be sure to do it right away!

Tonight’s game night, if I do say so myself, was one of the best ones we’ve ever had! There were a few new faces, as well as all the returning folks that show up every week, and the mix we had was really a great one! First and foremost, I want to thank everyone that showed up for the awesome time we had, and I really hope all the newcomers come back next week. Secondly, of course, we have to announce some winners (as we did have prizes this week!), so without further ado, here are our two winners:

In first place, we have our resident Mario Kart champ, Ronin180. Ronin has been with us for Game Night literally every night since the beginning, from the days when it was just me, him, and Valay to the more recent days where we have a good group. He swept the board today with a whopping 167 total points in our 12 recorded matches!

Second place, we have a newcomer to game nights, Yohonson, who came in second with 65 points. Yohonson joined us tonight and hopped in for the matches we played, and expressed his enjoyment. He should be back many weeks into the future, and we really look forward to seeing him around more!

If the two winners could contact us by e-mailing us via the contact form, we can work out receiving your prizes! Remember that to be eligible for the prizes, you must live within the North American region (United States as well, I think!) in the case that we cannot get the prizes out to you, we will do our best to both make it up to you and to distribute the un-usable prizes as fairly as possible.

Thanks again, guys! We really look forward to seeing you again next week!

You all know the drill I’m sure: Hop in the IRC and play some Mario Kart Wii with all of us from the site! Remember, those in first and second place win a free copy of Grease: The Video Game for Wii or DS!

Looks like we have a good reason to pay closer attention to Destructoid.com in the coming days:

We don’t want to say too much, but I can assure you that this bit of news will be a total trip. We will have a critically acclaimed third-party Nintendo developer in the house to show off, for the first time, a brand-new game that is most likely going to be awesome. All their previous stuff has been, after all!

Hmm… I’m not entire sure what this could be! As the source post suggests, we could be looking at the BIT.TRIP FATE reveal, or maybe it could be something totally different! I really don’t know!

“Cases like this do take time to come before a judge. The popularity of the DS family continues. The consoles are still seeing fairly strong sales. Yes, there are people who already possess these devices and we don’t target individuals or potential customers. But the commercial pirates, those who were profiteering from our IP and third-party publishers’ content, we will continue to target those companies and those individuals. They are making easy money off the back of creative talent.” – Nintendo’s Euro anti-piracy counsel Neil Boyd

This is exactly why people who sell R4 and flash carts should be stopped. Honestly, the biggest reason people buy these things is to pirate video games that they could buy legally, and that’s entirely unfair to the developer of the game who put hard work and funds into making the title. Support developers, for goodness’ sake!

For those of you that own Monster Hunter Tri, you know how addictive it can be. It’s a tought thing to explain, so rather than explaining it myself, I shall fall back on this quite from Capcom’s Official Blog:

“Not long after, you realize it’s 4am, you haven’t eaten, and you’re still not ready to turn it off. It’s more than a fun and addicting game, it’s rewarding and satisfying throughout your time in the game.” – Capcom’s Blog

I cannot tell you how many times this exact thing has happened to me, which is proof enough as to how addicting it really is. Now, since it is so fun, it makes sense that a lot of people would be playing it, right? According to this chart, it’s easily the fastest played and most avidly played Wii game of all time, and it’s looking to take down Brawl in no time at all. That’s pretty darn good news for Capcom, if I do say so myself!
