Sad Samus reacts to Metroid Dread’s absence from E3 yet again. Cheer up, Samus! I heard there was a Metroid-themed Wii U demo that was shown, so there’s that.

“Ooooh a puzzle!” by PA-X. Here’s a puzzle: how do I reconcile my desire to own a Professor Layton top hat with the absolute knowledge that I’d be far too shy to actually wear it (and justifiably so)?
I also like this photo of the same pair.

Love Plus cosplay spotted at Nagoya’s World Cosplay Summit 2010 last weekend. I’m uncertain if those are men or women inside those DSes/schoolgirl outfits.
Either way, it’s frightening.

Amazon is currently selling Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure, Kyle Gray and EA Tiburon’s creative platformer/puzzler hybrid, for just $9.96! The sale is through a third-party retailer, though, so you’ll need to pay a few extra bucks for shipping.
These two discounts are straight from Amazon:
- Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers (Wii) for $19.99 - deal of the day
- Overlord: Minions (DS) for $8.88

Want to look like Travis Touchdown? More accurately, want to look like this mannequin? Rising Star Games and CVG have partnered for a UK-only sweepstakes whose prize is a full Travis Touchdown costume, including:
- Bizarre Jelly 5 shirt
- Red leather jacket
- Wig
- Sideburns (apparently they’re separate!)
- Sunglasses
- Glove
- Jeans
- Red and white shoes
- Studded belt
- Katana belt… thing
- Wristband
Oh, and…
- Beam katana
The contest is connected to the NMH-themed “Airport51” store that was open in London for a week. As with all online contests, I would really like for a TC reader to win this one! I’m sure we have readers who both live in the UK and covet Travis’s look.

Unintentional Zombie Panic in Wonderland cosplay, modeled by Deanne Marsh and shot by Sito Alvina (click for a larger image). I was tempted to also call this cosplay for Little Red Riding Hood’s Zombie BBQ, as both games feature gun-toting versions of the fairy tale character, but Red’s outfit in Zombie BBQ’s is much more immodest than the one in this photo.
[Update: As several commenters pointed out, this is actually cosplay for Darkstalkers’s Baby Bonnie Hood!]
So, Zombie Panic in Wonderland released in Japan last month and hits Europe later this month; how much longer before this on-rails shooter comes to North America?

Most of the Neku Sakuraba cosplay I’ve seen is god awful, but the fancy photography accompanying this one makes this getup look slick. Anyway, Amazon has discounted several portable Square Enix RPGs, which you may want to pick up if you didn’t already buy them when we featured them dozens of times before:
- The World Ends With You: $9.78
- Final Fantasy IV: $9.78
- Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII: $9.78
The sale ends today, so grab’em soon!

Compare the two shots with this image and marvel at the power of proper lighting and a talented photographer; the outfit’s cheap material and accessories are almost convincing in Carian’s samples.
This reminds me that the packaging art for The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks is so much better in Europe — I love the princess’s ghostly appearance atop the train:
The U.S. boxart has none of that.

Halloween costume advice: If you plan to dress up as Mr. Game & Watch this year, make sure you craft a mask or headpiece to wear. Don’t walk around in blackface.
The more you know!

There Will Be Brawl’s Lakitu, shot by Greg de Stefano and looking very much like This American Life’s Ira Glass.
You can see more of this photo set at GameSetWatch! I haven’t watched much of There Will Be Brawl beyond the first episode, but I might give it another chance now…
