Tamer: The Original Xbox Mascot?
November 30th, 2008
I was looking through some old media on my computer some time ago and I came across these images from back in 2000 when the Xbox was first released. These are images of the first Xbox mascot, put out the same time as the original press release first announcing the console. I can’t quite remember much about what was said about the this mascot lady; even after reading through those early press releases she isn’t mentioned. The images are named Tamer, so I guess that’s her name or the name of her robot companion. In anycase, it’s interesting to look back on these. I also included a picture of the original Xbox console design, which I wish they went through with.
Yeah I know, real posts will be coming as soon as I can get around to it. Which might be a while.
Wii Love Golf:: Capcom Character Costumes
December 12th, 2007
It seems as though game character costumes in golf games are all the rage now with a plethora of cameo costumes featured in Techmo’s Super Swing Golf.
Well it looks as though Capcom want to continue that trend, recently showing off screens oftheir own series of costume cameos for their game Wii Love Golf:
Arthur from Ghosts and Goblins
Chun-Li from Street Fighter
Apollo Justice from Ace Attorney
Jill Valentine from Resident Evil
What is it with Sega Characters and Wiimotes?
October 28th, 2007
With the recent announcement of Samba de Amigo for the Wii I noticed that Sega have continued the same trend with their character art. Once again Sega have equipped the main character with a Wiimote. See what I mean:
I’m not sure why they do it, but its just interesting as the character doesn’t use the Wiimote in these games, its the gamer that does that. Interestingly Bleech or Ghost Squad seem to by pass this trend.
