Peter Molyneux, gamer creator and Lord of Over-hyping, has lashed out at the concept of game demos.

Do you want to game in privacy? Of course you do. Do you want it so badly that you’re willing to sit inside of a cupboard?

Yesterday, we brought you a video of actor/writer Seth Green promoting Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies as part of a new ad campaign for the upcoming Nintendo DS RPG. Today, we have a better-quality video, a look behind-the-scenes, and more.

Nintendo held a shareholders meeting on July 29th at the company’s Kyoto headquarters, in which Shigeru Miyamoto mentioned something about a “new game character” coming next year…

For the past few years, SEGA has released a nice number of their prized Genesis and somewhat-less prized Master System libraries, not only as downloadable titles, but also at retail with collections like Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection.

If you’ve signed up for the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm beta via your Battle.net account recently, then check your email! You could have an invite to join the closed beta, as it began today.

There has been a lot of Saints Row news over the past week or so, which is weird, since most of the world had forgotten Saints Row existed. But it does, and it’s back in full force. Not only with a third game in the series, but a secondary title called Saints Row: Drive By, which is coming to Xbox Live Arcade and the Nintendo 3DS.

This is just a friendly reminder. Tonight marks the end of the North American Club Nintendo year. So make sure you have your games registered and you’ve taken all the surveys you need to take. Members who reach Platinum or Gold status will be awarded some free Nintendo goods.
