February 2011

I sat down to hammer out a schedule for features, reviews and podcasts for the month, only to realize that The Conduit 2 is actually coming out in April. I'm positive it was slated for February at some point, but I guess I missed the delay. Imagine my surprise. de Blob is coming out for the Wii this month, but I think I'll save my money for some 3DS games. Sorry, THQ. Radiant Historia is coming out on the same day as de Blob 2 (February 22), so I'll be reviewing that one instead.

I was incredibly please to see that Kirby's Epic yarn sold almost 1.4 million in 2010, and I have no doubt that is has reached that number by now. Retro's Donkey Kong Country Returns sold an incredibly impressing 4.2 million. I'm blown away by both numbers, especially DKC. I'm pretty sure Nintendo has only released the sales numbers for first-party games in 2010 because Goldeneye is nowhere to be found on their Top 10. I'm 90% sure that it beat out Kirby.

On the movie side of the site, this month I'm putting together a pretty extensive feature on Hong Kong film director Wong Kar Wai (or Kar Wai Wong, whichever order of nomenclature you prefer). I'll be watching (and in some cases, re-watching) all of his movies and writing reviews for all of them, followed by a feature about him as a director at the end of the month.
