Activision’s Baja 1000 is selling in stores despite the fact that THQ has filed a suit against the company claiming that Activision’s International Baja 1000 looks too similar to THQ's PS3/360 Baja Edge of Control. THQ had stated that both the front and the back of the boxart look the same and apart from some other features along with the Baja logos titled up ten degrees are also identical. By this THQ has hoped that the release of the Baja 1000 would be delayed.

Capcom would be releasing Street Fighter IV shortly in a few months on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. The edition has new characters, bright new 3D graphics and new gameplay systems with a celebration of the classic Street Fighter series. However, we forget that Street Fighter was the first game which was ported TurboGraphx-16 CD ROM in 1988 and renamed Street Fighting. Capcom later ported Street Fighter II to the Super NES which sold over six million copies

It’s celebration time for Activision as their Guitar Hero: World Tour full band kit has been a great hit among the youngsters and been selling widely across the channel. This has lead the company not being able to meet the demands in this holiday season. The company has also reported that their franchise has topped the software charts for the first nine months of this year. So, if you, like a good parent wanted to gift your exceptionally good children with this gift you’ll have to hang on as you won’t see this game on the store shelves for a while.

The time has come when Nippon Ichi and Nintendo are officially together as the publisher has signed up as a WiiWare and a Wii developer. It was quite expected that Nippon Ichi would be soon on the WiiWare platform as the news of an NIS WiiWare game, Let’s HitchHike was leaked last month after the Nintendo conferences in US and Japan.

Nippon Ichi is quite significant as a Wii developer as the first thing that comes to our mind where this company is concerned is Disgaea. The company is spreading the series across multiple formats developed by NIS and is much contended to do so.

Those of you in Europe who were eagerly waiting for your turn to run to a mall has got a reason now. Dead Rising: Chop Til You Drop is at its way to all the stores in Europe. According to a report the game is due on February 27, 2009.

Hopefully there won’t be tons and tons of releases for February as that would spoil our mood for one particular game. This game still is going to make our life fun when we encounter zombies in the game.

Another shock for all those waiting for Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars to release. Gamecock announced that both DS and Wii mushroom Men games have been delayed to December 2nd. Mushroom Men was about to release this month and DS version was to release in October.

Did you now understand why you couldn’t see your Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars last month at stores?

New toys of Rayman Raving Rabbids can be seen at stores in near future. Ubisoft announced that with the game Raving Rabbids TV party they will also introduce some new smiling and screaming Rabbids, critters dreed in Assassin’s Creed and Splinter Cell at Europe.

Above all Ubisoft will sell a box including the four Rabbids with a blank Rabbid designed for DIY decoration. Phew! Thank god I got a gift for my niece.

Activision has again come out with innovations to capture the world. From November 14, the World Tour will start appearing in a number of musical instruments outlets. They are trying to sell plastic instruments to real musicians.

The musical instruments store will get a part of Activision’s share. How does Activision come out with such brilliant ideas? That really needs courage to sell fake instruments to people who want to play real instruments. I wish you all the best.

I am sure Nintendo’s gone crazy. After Dead Rising: Chop till You Drop there is yet another horror game waiting in the cue to release next month on Wii. However we don’t see the zombies but still nothing less than that, Grim Fandango the Land of the Dead. Peculiar sounds of Hell, strange things, life after death, all these sound Yuck to me.

I should not be blamed if you get disappointed after hearing this news. Well, I know that we all were eagerly waiting for Rock Band2 on a Wii. Something happened and now it has been decided that the game will not ship until January 5th, 2009.

However if you go to Amazon and eBay they are still highlighting it to release by 16th or 17th next month. Looks like somebody has played prank on us!
