John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John are coming to the Nintendo consoles! Or at least their Grease characters Danny Zucko and Sandy Olsson are. 505 Games has announced that it is now the rightful owner of the publishing rights for a video game adaptation of the classic musical, "Grease".

Soon, you'll all be dancing like this.


The publisher will reportedly work with Paramount Digital Entertainment to deliver the goods for both the Wii and the DS fans. No further details were revealed apart from that, but it's fairly easy to imagine that there will be a whole lot of dance-offs in this game. Maybe the Wii balance board will be used, even. Though I can't quite imagine how that would be sufficient for all the dance moves. A DDR dance mat would probably better, don't you think?

Paramount did say that the Grease game will "take full advantage of Nintendo Wii's motion-sensing controls (don't they all? -Ed) and microphone and DS's touch screen."

Here's a new video for Visceral Games and Electronic Arts' Wii exclusive, Dead Space: Extraction. In the vid, the Visceral devs give us an overview of the new mechanics and controls they've integrated into Extraction like the "glow worm", which lets players get some quick makeshift lighting in the darker areas of the game, and the two-player alternating puzzle-solving mechanic.

Dead Space: Extraction will infect Wiis on September 29.

Sengoku Basara 3 - Image 1


While a lot of people were hoping that the Capcom teaser site was for a new Onimusha game, the fact that it was accessible from the Sengoku Basara portal kinda weighed the odds in favor of a new Basara game. And so it turned out to be just that.

Capcom has revealed that the next entry in the popular (more so in Japan than anywhere else) action series is Sengoku Basara 3. Actually, that's pretty much all they've revealed aside from a 2010 date and the two character silhouettes below.

Never really got into this series but it's interesting that the last date shown on the teaser site was 1600, the year when Tokugawa Ieyasu won in the Battle of Sekigahara. Maybe Ieyasu's the main protagonist in this one?

I bet Atari feels like King Picollo right now - Image 1
Image from DeviantArt


There were already a few signs hinting that Atari was having some trouble holding on to the Dragon Ball franchise. A couple of years ago, the publisher clashed with FUNimation over the game license. Namco Bandai announced last month that it had secured publishing rights to three new entries in the franchise.

Today, Namco Bandai has announced that it's finishing what it started. Starting in January 2010, they will be publishing Dragon Ball games on all major consoles and handhelds in North America. The publishing deal made with rights-holders Toei and FUNimation will run for five years.

This is a pretty big blow for Atari and a big coup for Namco Bandai. In fiscal 2008, about half of Atari's sales came from Dragon Ball games. You know, if you consider the earlier acquisition or Atari Europe, it kinda feels like Namco Bandai is taking over Atari piece by piece.
