DESTRUCTOID 0037
Happy Monday everyone. We've got a lot of news for you today - there's our last of the CES rundowns with some very lackluster accessories, the latest dirt on the 3DS' batteries and launch titles thanks to Nintendo World, and a relative TON of new info on Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, thanks to Game Informer. Max also gets to talk about Jade and Goro from Mortal Kombat, so everyone's happy. In some sad news, Gearbox's Alien: Colonial Marines will NOT be seeing a release this year, thanks to Duke Nukem Forever.
Story #1 - CES? More like Meh-ES! http://www.destructoid.com/ces-let-s-see-you-get-a-quick-start-in-this-thing-...
Our second round of CES news isn't quite as exciting - Mad Catz announced a few accessories, and there's an inflatable car you can play Wii inside.
Story #2 - Story #2 - Nintendo Chief Satoru Iwata says Gamecube could do 3d gaming. http://www.destructoid.com/iwata-gamecube-could-do-3d-gaming-191045.phtml
He also mentioned that the flipping Gameboy Advance SP could do it. What exactly are you trying to prove Iwata-san? That you thought 3d was cool before everyone else?
Story #3 - Story #3 - The 3DS battery just might suck. http://www.destructoid.com/3ds-has-three-to-five-hours-of-battery-life-191097...
Apparently all that 3d magic that Nintendo has up their sleeves for the 3DS takes some juice - they're saying that the 3DS might only have 3-5 hours of battery life. Company quoted battery life is usually a hilarious overestimate in "optimum settings", so here's hoping the 3DS can squeeze out more than 45 minutes.
Story #4 - Bayonetta and a feminist theory - a match made in heaven! http://www.destructoid.com/bayonetta-dev-to-one-woman-all-other-women-are-ene...
So apparently the developer of Bayonetta said that women view each other as natural enemies. Oh boy.
Story #5 - Story #5 - Alien: Colonial Marines gets pushed to 2012. http://www.destructoid.com/aliens-colonial-marines-won-t-release-in-2011-1912...
Thanks to Duke Nukem Forever, Gearbox has to put Aliens on the backburner again.
Story #6 - Story #6 - Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Details Revealed! http://www.destructoid.com/elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-perks-random-quests-beards-...
Finally we get some more dirt on the Morrowind followup thanks to Game Informer. We can't wait for 11/11/11!
Story #7 - Jade and Goro confirmed for Mortal Kombat 9! http://www.destructoid.com/jade-and-goro-confirmed-for-mortal-kombat-9-191232...
One hot ninja, and one of our favorite Mortal Kombat characters are now confirmed for the latest iteration. Can you guess which one is which?
