How do you kill a ghost of this variety?  By keeping it in development too long, apparently.  Blizzard has announced that their ambitious shooter has been put on hold indefinitely while they turn toward next-gen systems.  They did say that they were thinking of moving the title to those new, shinier systems though.  While the game certainly showed promise, and Blizzard isn’t known for low quality titles, I’d lower my expectations significantly on this one if I was you.  This could very well become another Daikatana or Duke Nukem: Forever (if you’ve never heard of either, the former sucked and the latter one has yet to see the light of day after 7+ years in production).

Last week, Nintendo announced that their Revolution console would not just make games from their own back catalog accessible, but many games from the Sega Genesis and Turbografix consoles would also be available.  Now Nintendo President Satoru Iwata has said that Revolution’s first party games will at least be $50 or less.  Also, when asked about a larger storage device for the system, which at the moment will only have 512 MB of internal memory, Iwata said that they would make an announcement regarding that at E3, but the system does have slots for SD cards, which are up to 4GB of memory and it does have USB ports, so an external hard drive would seem possible.  And as the title says….  Nintendo is usually more honest than other companies, so I would expect at least one of those options to be widely available for the Revolution when it’s released later this year.
