With the DSi LL set to be released in Japan this Saturday, display units have started popping up here and there to help Nintendo promote it. Anoop over atAndriasanggot to peep some at the Bic Camera and Tsutaya in Shibuya today, and he confirms what many people seem to have assumed would be the case from the start: It’s big and ugly. None of the display units were playable, so there’s no telling if the big screen makes up for the Gina syndrome....

Like, Zoinks, I leveled up, Scoob Although folks started experimenting with Shaggy mods inSekiro: Shadows Die Twicelate last year, this recent video from JustTrevor cleverly mixes together a string of odd mods and creates a sort of story video for the Scooby gang member. Complete with a cartoon intro, Shaggy is zapped with a laser and transported into the world ofSekiro, where he wields a baguette weapon with grace. JustTrevor’s video shows off the serpent sequence (with a swapped Thomas the Tank engine model), a Chained Ogre fight (swapped with Shrek) and a few boss battles (the intro and Shigenori Yamauchi)....
