Tasunke's Random Ramblings

So Nintendo dumped a whole bunch of movies on the Nintendo channel this week, all 12 pages are new videos… it’s going to take me a while to get through them. However, there is one video that really surprised and excited me. Enough that I think I’ve watched it at least a half-dozen times already, and will probably watch more. What has me so excited? The new Metroid game for the Wii, due in 2010, entitled Metroid: Other M.

Kotaku has posted details on the new PSP Go, thanks to Qore going live early. Seems that it’s gonna be a lighter, smaller PSP, but like the DSLite/DSi situation, Sony is not going to remove the previous version, the PSP-3000, from the market.

Apparently the system also has 16 GB of internal flash memory, probably for storing alot of media and/or downloadable games. Bluetooth support is also mentioned, specifically they mention the possibility of linking it with your cell phone. Perhaps it will be possible to tether your PSP to your cellphone for online play on the go? That would be kinda cool.　Not to mention the possibilities of using bluetooth headsets with the PSP Go to eliminate wires.

Of course there was a character wipe before the open beta of Neo Steam. As such, I had to start over. I picked the same faction, race, and class as last time, and ran through the same beginning quests. Flipping over the rocks still takes an annoyingly long amount of time. ;) Talking with Neko about it, he agreed with me.

So, a new trailer for the Japan-only (as far as I know) PSP game 初音ミク -Project DIVA- was recently released. For those that don’t know about Hatsune Miku (初音ミク), she’s a character created for the Vocaloid 2 “Character Vocal Series.” Vocaloid is voice synthesis software used to create music vocal tracks. The “Character Vocal Series” is a series of voice packs for the Vocaloid 2 engine. These voice packs are represented by fictional characters such as Hatsune Miku.

So, today is the last day of the “Early Access” beta for Neo Steam. I finally got to the city of Nasdaim and did a few quests there.

So, I got to sit down for another day at Neo Steam.
I got up to level 11 today. I ended up running several quests from this one NPC (whose name escapes me at the moment, she wanders around near the save point person), some were more of killing specific animals, but there was one where I was harvesting some kind of plant for her.

Well, Atlus launched the “Early Access Beta” for Neo Steam today. It looks quite fun, and I enjoyed what I was able to play of it today. It’s a steampunk MMORPG, and both Neko and I are playing it. His two big reasons, as I understand it, are that it’s being published in the US by Atlus, and that it’s steampunk. I tend to agree. ^_^
