Looks like we have a new BFF, even if they don't know it yet. As you can see in the image to the right, the cabinet is set to play Tatsunoko vs. Capcom (running off a Wii), which is one of the games we'd most like to import but it costs like a bajillion dollars so we can't. Apparently, these cabinets are just sitting in somebody's kitchen, in Brooklyn. Uh, what does a blog need to do to get an invite? We're already making you famous to our 32 readers with this post. Hook a blog up, already! We totally own a car.In all seriousness, though, we're really jealous of how awesome that kitchen is.

Gamasutra has an interview up with Capcom's Minoru Nakai, a producer on Dead Rising: Chop Till you Drop, about the development of the somewhat controversial Wii remake of the Xbox 360 title. It reveals external, game-related details worth noting as well as interesting behind-the-scenes stuff.In terms of gameplay, we now know that photography is gone (cue a few disgusted "NOT BUYING IT" comments), but that the mall map is the same size as it was in the original, and even tuned a bit to be "a little bit more maneuverable, so that it's easier to get across the mall and things like that." Loading times haven't been compromised by the move to Wii. In addition, some of the zombies have been sped up.Behind the scenes, Nakai discussed the process for converting the 360 models to Wii, and altering animations (from Resident Evil 4 and Dead Rising) to match player-controlled motions.

House of the Dead: Overkill launches pretty much everywhere next month, and looks set to be a mini-upheaval for Sega's venerable lightgun series.While shooting zombies in the face still plays a major role, Brit developer Headstrong Games has introduced a '70s horror theme, time manipulation, new enemies, and a ton of extra content. We lined up Lead Designer Alastair Halsby in our shotgun reticles, and fired several rounds of questions his way. Join us after the break for a discussion on grindhouse, censorship, and the "ballistic ballet of zombie destruction." Heads up!

We've all likely been accosted by a Gamestop employee, at one time or another, about a subscription to Game Informer or a strategy guide to go along with the title we were planning to pick up or something. Well, it would seem that Gamestop is perfecting their craft, targeting folks with a need for exergaming with subscriptions to mags such as Cosmo and Redbook.Unlike other solicitations from the retail giant, this is actually free, though, which is a big improvement for them. Upon purchasing select exergaming items of $35 or more (semi-full list of qualifying items can be found past the break), Gamestop will toss in a 12-month subscription to either Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Redbook, Good Housekeeping or O Magazine. Head past the break for the products that were mentioned to be part of this promotion.
