Midnight Club 3 on PSP from GameStop.com
Burning Rubber
Following Rockstar's successful release of Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox, the New York-based publisher set its sights on Sony's PlayStation Portable. While details have been fairly scarce on just what the PSP version of Midnight Club 3 would offer, we recently had the chance to talk to Rockstar and even got some hands-on time with the upcoming game. Though it's still a work in progress and it's still running off a development kit, the pint-sized racer packed a considerable punch with its impressive visuals and meaty selection of modes. Developer Rockstar Leeds, in conjunction with Rockstar San Diego (which handled the console version of the game), appears to be doing a fine job of miniaturizing the great console racer.
Simply put, Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition contains nearly all the content seen in its console cousins, sans online multiplayer. The multiplayer in the PSP game will be achieved through ad hoc Wi-Fi play in a variety of modes, some of which mirror the console game and others which are new. We were only able to try some single-player city racing in New York, but Rockstar reps on hand noted that the single-player experience is being faithfully re-created on the PSP, right down to an automotive store's worth of parts and a car lot's worth of vehicles.
The control scheme has translated nicely to the PSP and offers the responsiveness you'd hope for from a portable Midnight Club. We had the chance to try out a car and a bike and were pleased by the comfortable feel. The visuals in the game are looking sharp and are, unsurprisingly, very close to the PS2 game. The three cities--San Diego, Detroit, and Atlanta--are being faithfully re-created, and from what we can tell so far, they're set to be on par with what's been seen in the console game. You'll see legible billboards and traffic milling about. In addition, the game will throw out an assortment of particle and special effects. If you look closely, you'll find some reduced detail here and there, but what we noticed wasn't major. From a performance perspective, the frame rate wasn't 100 percent consistent yet, and the sense of speed wasn't quite there. However, both issues are on Rockstar Leeds' "to-do list," so they should be rectified.
Based on what we played, Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition is looking good. Fans of the console game should be pleased by what's being offered on the PSP. Although we'd obviously liked to have seen more original content in the PSP game, aside from the reworked multiplayer, the game experience is still a solid one. If you're looking for a deep racer that's fast and fun, you'd do well to keep an eye out for Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition when it hits on the PSP this June.
No Free Revolution Downloads
Satoru Iwata speaks with Famitsu.com, denying the rumors.
In an interview with Famitsu.com, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata denied rumors suggesting the company would offer free videogame downloads over Nintendo Revolution’s online download service.
Iwata instead stated Nintendo envisions a business plan that could create a profit for the company as well as others that take part in the downloading service.
Iwata did, though, in a press conference yesterday, hint that free limited-time-only downloads could be a way of the future for Revolution users.
More on the Revolution is expected to be unveiled before the end of the year.

UMD Kicks Ass
Handheld movies are hot
By Thomas K. Arnold, Special for USA TODAY
Frederick Green likes his DVD. But after watching Spider-Man 2 on his new PlayStation Portable (PSP), he's eager to watch more movies on the little handheld game player. "The graphics are great," says the 37-year-old Fairlawn, Ohio, resident.
Green's enthusiasm may be spreading. Though the handheld PSP, launched in March, is considered primarily a gaming device, Hollywood studios are aggressively releasing movies on the PSP's proprietary Universal Media Disc (UMD), a 21/4-inch disc encased in a protective plastic shell.
Five of the six major studios are on board. The latest to click in: Paramount and MGM. Only Warner Bros. continues to sit out.
More than 70 UMD titles are in stores or are scheduled to arrive in the coming months. "No other format has gotten this much software support since DVD was launched eight years ago," notes analyst Tom Adams of Adams Media Research.
Paramount today announces 11 titles, including releases from fellow Viacom divisions Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and MTV, making Paramount the first studio to bring TV shows to UMD. The first batch, due Aug. 9, consists of Team America: World Police, Coach Carter and Without a Paddle. Sahara, The Italian Job and MTV's Viva la Bam: Volume 1 follow Aug. 30. Coming later are SpongeBob SquarePants the Movie and compilation UMDs of Chappelle's Show, Ren & Stimpy, South Park and SpongeBob SquarePants TV episodes.
Thomas Lesinski, president of worldwide home entertainment for Paramount Pictures, says the titles were chosen to fit the "key demographics for PSP," which is teens and young-adult males. MGM, now partly owned by Sony, will release its first batch of four titles Sept. 13: Beauty Shop, Be Cool, Stargate: Atlantis and Bulletproof Monk.
Benjamin Feingold, president of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, the first studio to supply movies on UMD, says it was always Sony's intent that the PSP be more than a game player. Releasing movies for the PSP, he says, allows studios to "establish a beachhead in the portable, mobile market." Feingold says that as people spend more and more time with cell phones, personal digital assistants and other portable devices, "it's important for our industry to have movies available."
Since PSP was launched, more than 1.2 million units have sold. Sony's Feingold projects that within 12 months, 6 million to 8 million PSP machines will be in North American households. Analysts including Adams say that although UMD will never be as ubiquitous as DVD (more than 65 million households own DVD players), the market could grow to 25 million or even 30 million households. UMD movies are carried by all the big discount and electronics chains, from Wal-Mart and Target to Best Buy and Circuit City. They're for sale at big music chains such as Trans World Entertainment and Musicland, and dedicated game chains Game Stop and EB Games.
Two UMD movies have now sold more than 100,000 copies each: Sony's House of Flying Daggers and Resident Evil 2, both released April 19. Sony's Feingold calls the sales tally "remarkable," noting that it took nine months for the first DVD title, Air Force One, to cross the 100,000-unit mark.
UMD's success on the movie front appears to be coming at the expense of the Warner-initiated Mini-DVD, a three-inch disc that can be played on regular DVD players as well as a dedicated handheld unit from CyberHome. Last January, Fox, Paramount and Universal joined Warner in supporting the Mini. But after an unsuccessful test at Best Buy, all three bowed out. Warner is giving the Mini one last shot with another test at Target.
Mega Man Legends and Breath of Fire III on their way to Sony's handheld.
PlayStation classics Mega Man Legends and Breath of Fire III on their way to Sony's handheld.
TOKYO--It seems that Capcom is bringing two of its hit PlayStation games to the PSP. According to retail sources in Japan, the company will release Rockman Dash (Mega Man Legends) on August 4, followed by another classic game, Breath of Fire III, on August 25.
It's unclear whether the two games will be direct ports of their original PlayStation releases in 1997 or feature some new addition or arrangements. Additionally, there have been no reports on whether the games will be released in the United States.
Capcom revealed in its financial report last month that a total of 10 PSP games are slated for release during the current business year ending March 31, 2006. GameSpot will bring additional news on Capcom's PSP games as it becomes available.
More Anime on the PSP
Geneon Entertainment, a major supplier of anime to North America, has teamed up with Universal, Sony, Paramount, and Disney to bring four franchises to UMD format for use on the PSP. On July 5, Geneon will release the animated feature version of Appleseed ($19.98) and two (separate) episodes of Samurai Champloo ($14.98 each). And then, on August 16, the first two episodes of both Gungrave and Hellsing (all $14.98) will follow. One episode for $15?! Something isn’t right here…
Nintendogs?
People are talking about Nintendogs and how it's going to be the killer app t hat's going to sky rocket the Nintendo DS. Well we saw the game at E3 and saw more of it on G4 TV and we say....fuck Nintendogs. I don't want a digital dog unless it bite someone and kick their ass and then pee on them.
