Warner Bros Harry Potter Statement
This is the statement issued from Warner Bros in regards to the delayed release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince:
Many of you have written to me to express your disappointment in our moving Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to Summer 2009.
Please be assured that we share your love for Harry Potter and would certainly never do anything to hurt any of the films. Over the past 10 years, we have nurtured and protected each film, and the integrity of the books upon which they are based, to the best of our ability.
The decision to move Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was not taken lightly, and was never intended to upset our Harry Potter fans. We know you have built this series into what it is, and we thank you for your ongoing enthusiasm and support.
If I may offer a silver lining: there would have been a two-year gap between Half-Blood Prince and the much-anticipated first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which opens in November 2010.
So although we have to wait a little longer for Half-Blood Prince, the wait from that film until Deathly Hallows will be less than 18 months. I am sorry to have disappointed you now, but if you hold on a little longer, I believe it will be worth the wait.
Alan Horn
President, Chief Operating Officer
Warner Bros.

Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff For DS
Somebody call Bo Jackson, because the greatest football franchise is returning to the Nintendo DS. Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff is back and we are happy to say that several sources claim the game play will be very similar to the NES version, Tecmo Super Bowl.
The arcade-style sports game was a lot easier to get into than the Maddens of today. Madden takes months of dedication, while you can still have hours of endless play with Tecmo, the game also allows for fast fun as well.
Since Electronic Arts has the video game rights to use NFL Teams, logos, player likenesses and stadiums in gaming products through Super Bowl XLVII in 2013, Tecmo will be fighting a uphill battle.
But don't count Tecmo out. They have put together a solid online game that is completely customizable, so fans all over the world can create all their NFL favorites or even bring their high school football team to life.
Features:
• Customize your team: Choose your team colors, emblems, player names, team cities and abilities.
• Wi-Fi and Wireless Multiplayer: Play against your friends across the country or across the room.
• Stylus Control: Feel the action as you use the stylus to control your player.
• Variety of teams: Choose from 32 different teams, including the Los Angeles Super Cocks.
• Cut-scenes: All-new cut-scenes showing off the dramatic presentation of various plays.
• Super Abilities: Tactical use of the abilities will devastate the opposition.
• Customizable Playbook: Prepare for gridiron greatness by customizing your playbook.
• Music and sound effects: Turn up the heat on your opponent as you play the game to rock ‘n’ roll remixes of the most memorable tunes in football gaming history!
Several release dates are being thrown around. Nobody truly knows if the game will release in September or November. But either way this will be a great warm up for when Tecmo is released on the Wii in 2009. I'm sure Tecmo league commissioners are already preparing for the launch.

Why So Difficult, Nintendo?
Kudos to Nintendo for thinking outside the box when developing the Nintendo Wii console. But why not take notes from other gaming consoles and conform to online game play? Yes, I know, you can play online on the Wii, but it doesn't live up to Xbox 360 or even Playstation 3 standards.
We all understand the having friend codes prevents younger children from experiencing the useless nonsense of other online gaming consoles. My problem isn't the friend codes per say, it is the fact that once I have friends, Nintendo still makes it difficult to online game with them. The lack of voice chat is ridiculous. It makes me angry just thinking about it, let alone going into detail why they need to support it. And as far as Super Smash Bros. Brawl goes, why do I need a Smash code to play with somebody? Don't I already have their Friend Code? Just one more useless step that annoys people trying to cross over of from Xbox Live!
Nintendo, BRING US VOICE CHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is 2008. I know, the Wii console is out selling everybody without it. Yes, Brawl has also sold over 1.8 million copies in little over a week. But if you sit around and let other systems make improvement while you live in the past, you are just going to end up with another Nintendo GameCube somewhere down the line. I have always been a true supporter and believer in Nintendo, even through its tougher times. So I am confident they will have a resolution on the horizon. I the meantime, myself and millions of other online gamers will sit less patient everyday hoping you won't let us down.
One last thing, if Nintendo is trying to be kid friendly, why can I taunt people in Super Smash Bros. Brawl with text statements like, "F%ck Off!" and "Eat Sh#t!!"? They also have a character with huge rocket tits. It just doesn't add up. Please rethink your process when it comes to online play.

The Trick To #5 Yoshi Team Of 50
Thank you WhiteKhakis!!! WhiteKhakis shows us the secret to success on how to smash Yoshi on youtube.com. The trick is to kill off Pit to expand your screen view point, then you can see where each Yoshi is coming from. It still isn't easy, even WhiteKhakis went down to the last second.

#5 The Yoshi Team Of 50
Playing this Yoshi event on hard in Super Smash Bros. Brawl seems to be impossible. You have 2 minutes and 12 seconds to smash Yoshi off the sceen 50 times. Smashing Yoshi is not the difficult part, it is the fact that Yoshi does not respawn fast enough. You actually waste 8 seconds in the beginning just waiting for the first Yoshi to appear.
Hard3ight, at a gamespot.com blog claims he beat the mission after 5 attempts and it was not that hard. This person is full of bullsh%t!!! It would be one thing if he explained his secret, but he gives no advice how to speed up the respawn time of Yoshi, so I don't believe him. Anybody that leads you to believe it wasn't a big deal to beat event is a lair.
If Hard3ight is so sure of his technic, I love to see it on youtube.com, but my guess is that it is not going to happen.
Yes, that's right, I'm calling you out, Hard3ight. Prove me wrong!
