Perhaps my favorite thing that exists in the world is irony, and while I know this story doesn’t actually “mean” anything tangible, it has about as much of the stuff as you could cram into anything particularly related to video games. Why? The actor portraying Sony’s great marketing icon “Kevin Butler” is appearing in a Bridgestone advertisement that contains a tie-in with the Wii.

It’s not clear to me whether this is a contest or a promotion or something less significant, but it is- for what it’s worth- ironic.

Could Namco Bandai be returning to StarBlade? A trademark for the name was recently filed in the US.

At this time, it isn’t clear how Namco Bandai intends to use the filing. Surely it’s for something new though… right?!

Back in July, SEGA renewed its Skies of Arcadia trademark. The game has long been rumored to be seeing a re-release as an HD port.

SEGA currently has three Dreamcast titles on the way that will be coming out with a fresh coat of HD paint.

Jet Set Radio HD is due out in a couple of weeks. Sonic Adventure 2 and NiGHTS should arrive shortly thereafter. Once those titles are out of the way, maybe SEGA will announce Skies of Arcadia HD… we can only hope!

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo fans found a spectacular way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iconic Kirby™ video game character. On Sept. 1 at the PAX Prime conference in Seattle, 536 attendees gathered together and set a new Guinness World Records® achievement for the most people blowing a chewing gum bubble simultaneously. Participants had fun blowing bubbles that resembled the round, pink Kirby and helped Nintendo of America celebrate, after a representative from Guinness World Records confirmed the official record-setting count.

The new world record added to the growing excitement about Kirby at PAX Prime, where attendees had an early chance to experience Kirby’s Dream Collection: Special Edition for the Wii™ system. Launching Sept. 16, this commemorative game collection includes six classic Kirby games on one disc, plus a commemorative booklet, a music CD and an interactive timeline that gives players a fun way to explore Kirby’s colorful history. Since debuting in 1992, Kirby has starred in 22 video games that collectively have sold more than 33 million units worldwide. His distinctive appearance and unique ability to inhale enemies and copy their abilities have made him a fan favorite for two decades.
