First off, we have information on SpotPass support. Players will be able to exchange items and other content.

Rock Band DLC Additions for Xbox 360, PlayStation®3 system and Wii

This week’s DLC offerings come courtesy of a quintessential modern metal band, and Rock Band fan-favorites, Slipknot.

These tracks are joined by “Pulse of the Maggots” from Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), released in 2004 and the ballad “Snuff” from their most recent studio release, 2009’s All Hope is Gone. Every studio release from the band is represented in this 4-pack and it makes for a raucous retrospective!

You remember Rodea the Sky Soldier, right? It was that very promising NiGHTS-like game that was set for a dual-release on Wii and 3DS.

Although we haven’t heard anything about the project since it was announced earlier this year, development has progressed well. In fact, Yuji Naka has said that the title is complete “for awhile now.”

“Rodea the Sky Soldier has been finished for awhile now. My part at Prope has been done. Now it’s up to Kadokawa Games to decide on the release strategy whether it will be come out for North America, Europe, and Japan.”

Naka was also asked about a possible Wii U version. At this time he explained why there are no plans for that:

“It’s finished as Wii title and as of now we have no plans to bring it to Wii U. Rodea was made specifically for the Wii so players could enjoy it by flicking the remote. If we tried to incorporate those controls into the large Wii U controller it wouldn’t be the same. I would really like for people to play and enjoy it on the Wii as I had originally intended.”

Some absolutely crazy stuff, that’s what! It’s been a few months, so I guess we were due for an absolute implosion.

What I initially thought was the problem actually wasn’t the problem. As it turned out, our sister site was apparently getting completely hammered by a mysterious force. That caused almost everything to crawl and die (including NE).

Things seem to be in working order now. I’m still somewhat concerned, so I won’t say for sure that everything is completely fixed. I have more optimism than last night though, that’s for sure.

It’s 2 AM here now, so I won’t even bother with updates. Be prepared for an onslaught of catch-up news in a few hours…
