Nintendo Wii Fanboy

Soul Calibur Legends wasn't seen as a favorable point of the Soul Calibur series -- as is to be expected from a Death by Degrees-esque spinoff of the fighter franchise -- so it's unsurprising that Amazon already has the November-released title marked down to $25.99, 35% less than its regular $39.99. While many of you might prefer to see the game discounted even more before picking it up, that price point is just high enough to push it into Free Super Saver Shipping territory.

We feel guilty suggesting Soul Calibur Legends to anyone who isn't a hardcore fan of the series -- everyone else should probably avoid even loading the product page. In its 2-out-of-10 review, Edge Magazine described the game as being "an unrewarding trudge that doesn't have any ideas beyond the most primitive."

If your video gaming interests lie in seeing thousands of generic soldiers sent to their slaughter, we've got just the video for you! Capcom put out a three-minute trailer for its Samurai/Dynasty Warriors-styled title, Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes (Devil Kings 2 Heroes), splicing the carnage-filled clips with a few animated cutscenes. As you'd expect, there's a showcase of ridiculous special moves, one of them involving a warlord summoning some sort of robot in samurai gear to shoot missles at all the blundering conscripts. Sharpen your sword and bring it past the post break for the full video.

We also have a gallery of stills for you to look through! Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes hits the Wii and PS2 in Japan this November 29th, but localization plans have yet to be announced for the US. Last we heard, the development team hasn't added any "waggle functionality" to the Wii version, focusing instead on more traditional controls.

Namco Bandai laid down the law, proclaiming that we need post these two new trailers. Not only that, but they're forcing us to post these new screens. We don't want to, because we derive a sick pleasure in depriving you of things that may interest you, but sure enough Namco Bandai emerged from the darkness clad in white armor. So, consider yourself saved ... for now.

For the new screens, hit up the gallery below. For the other trailer, head past the break. Oh, and sorry for the lack of sound in the above trailer, the file we snagged from them was without it. The trailer past the break has sound though, we assure you.
