I can’t think of a better way to finish out the week then with a possible leaked trailer.

The Internet is buzzing today with what could quite possibly be the trailer for Dead Rising 2. A shaky cam style video of what looks like a leaked trailer popped up on YouTube today and it just may be legit. The trailer looks like a Las Vegas setting for the sequel just without all the gambling and fun (due to the Zombies).

Blue Castle is currently developing Dead Rising 2 and there is no release date yet, but if this trailer is legit we may be getting one soon.

Nintendo DSi in North America by April 4th?

According to multiple IGN sources the Nintendo DSi will be available on the North American market the first half of 2009. Apparently a number of sources in communication with IGN have claimed that the DSi will be released April 4th 2009, and will be selling for $179.99.

Contrary to what we had heard from Nintendo in 2008, in which a North American release date was projected for Summer 2009, this date is much earlier in the year. The sources are said to be close to Nintendo, and reliable according to Matt Casamassina with IGN.  Matt is reliable as well as he has been backed by G4. Raymond Padilla (a writer for the feed) was quoted as saying “Brother Matt (am I the only one that calls him that?) has been covering Nintendo for more than a decade; his sources are plentiful and often reliable. Given his history and track record, there’s a good chance that the rumor is true.”

Although an April 4th release date seems unlikely, due to the fact that the DS is still doing very well in sales, the sources seem reliable. I personally won’t be getting my hopes up until I hear an official statement from Nintendo, which we will probably be getting soon since this rumor is spreading like wild fire.

E3 09 Opens Doors to Bloggers?

E3 ConferenceSince the major disappointment of E3 08 the rumor is that the ESA (Entertainment Software Association) will be returning to the older model of the more successful E3 conferences. Although the conference has been closed to the public the ESA is shooting for a much larger attendance in 09; they are hoping to have an attendance ten times the size of E3 08.

Despite the fact that E3 09 will not be selling tickets to the public, they do intend to draw a large crowd by opening the doors of the conference to wider range of journalists. According to Kotaku the rumor is that any individual that contributes to the relaying of knowledge through the written word will be allowed to attend the event; meaning any one who has a blog.  For now this is only speculation, but hopefully the horrors of the ‘invite only’ policy of the past two years has ended.

Although the guest list is still undecided for E3 09, we do know when and where it will be held. The show will remain at the Los Angeles Convention Center June 2nd-June 4th.  Although the location and dates are set in stone the layout of the conference is still undecided.  Whether there will be a return of the booth babes, which was wildly popular at the older conferences (for the obvious reasons) will be returning, is unclear. Also, the return of the booming mega woofers of the old E3s and free schwag are also undecided.

It seems that the ESA is making strides to return to the mold of the older E3 conferences, that the fans have been hoping for. The dates and location are clear but the big question of open attendance still looms in the distance.  If bloggers of any type are indeed able to attend arm your on-line accounts and be ready.
