Just a few days ago, a pretty big boss spoiler was discovered in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. The boss is actually the last boss that is faced in the game. Now, a clear video of the fight can be seen.

Head past the break to see the video. Again, most will probably consider this to be a spoiler so watch at your own risk!

The North American Club Nintendo page is officially live. There isn’t anything to see or do as of yet, but Nintendo has provided a description of what one can expect when the temporary page is removed and the service begins:

* Earn Coins for registering Nintendo products and completing surveys
* Redeem Coins for limited edition Rewards
* Earn a set amount of Coins each year to gain Gold and Platinum status
* Create a Family Account and invite members of your family to join
* Register your newly purchased Wii console or Nintendo DS on Club Nintendo and extend your warranty

Club Nintendo should be up soon. There are only around four weeks left in 2008, and Nintendo has stated that the service would be available in time for the holidays.

It was concluded today that two boys used the cord of a video game controller to hang a four-month-old kitten from a tree. The children – six and seven years old – had just finished a gameplay session of Grand Theft Auto. Before hanging the kitten, the boys used stones to greatly injure the animal. The two boys will not face any criminal charges due to their age, nor will they receive any aid from Child Protective Services.

Unfortunately, this is a case of parental negligence. Grand Theft Auto is rated “M” for a reason, so parents should make it a responsibility to make sure their children are playing the appropriate games. We’ve heard cases of some young boys playing Grand Theft Auto and committing crimes, but never this young.

“I can spend literally days just building up my criminal empire without touching a mission at all. But that aside, in classical terms, I think, for an average player, we’ve got around 20 to 30 hours of gameplay just to complete the story missions — that gets you through about 28 percent to 30 percent of the total game. The narcotics dealing takes up much more of your time, and we have more side missions, odd jobs, and one-off characters with their own mission strands to meet around this world than you’d ever expect. I’d say to get to 100 percent stats complete, you’d be looking at around 70 to 80 hours of play. This still doesn’t mean you’ve seen everything. You still have multiplayer and the entire online and Social Club content to dabble with.” – Gordon Hall, head of developer Rockstar Leeds

It looks as though Chinatown Wars won’t be a gimped GTA experience in the slightest. Rockstar Leeds is working hard on the game, and is packing it with tons of content.

Similar to the situation with The Conduit, someone discovered a listing on SEGA’s FTP for Sands of Destruction. This almost guarantees that World Destruction, which is already available in Japan, will be releasing in North America, albeit with a name change. SEGA has yet to confirm anything at this point, but again, that was the case with The Conduit as well. The company will most likely confirm this news with a press release in the next few days.
