Gold Famicom Disks Are High Class
I don’t usually like stuff that’s gold-colored, but these super-rare Famicom Disk System games look amazing. And they’ve probably got a price to match. Only an estimated 10,000 were made and a similar disk is going for $600 on eBay. They were sent out at random to some of the people who attended the Famicom Golf Tournament. I guess you didn’t even have to win to get an awesome prize. Sweet.
Street Fighter X Tekken Will Not Include Dan and Anna
Yoshiniri Ono says that the Street Fighter X Tekken character roster has been finalized and it looks like Dan Hibiki and Anna Williams will be sitting it out.
Ono explained in an interview with Siliconera that Dan won’t be included in the game because “he was killed by a Tekken character at Comic Con last year.”
As for Anna, Ono had this to say:
“As much as I personally wanted to have a cool Nina and Anna tag battle, the director was against putting Anna because we already had Nina in.” —Yoshiniri Ono
Street Fighter X Tekken is currently scheduled to launch on March 2, 2012 and it will be available on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PlayStation Vita.

Artist Note: “This is my 2nd submission for the upcoming IAM8BIT show. I wanted to do something really simple, and that got right down to the point of being stupidly obsessed with 8 bit technology. Sorry for the crap photography.”

Pee-Wee Herman’s jaw drops after playing the 3DS at Comic-Con (click for a larger image). Posting this here for my wife because she loves Pee-Wee Herman!
I know it was recorded years and years ago, but I recently heard Fresh Air’s interview with Pee-Wee/Paul Reubens, and it’s fantastic. Give it a listen if you haven’t yet.
