Take heed of these new Calling screens
Hudson’s banking that you’ll want to sample its brand of “traditional survival-horror” in Calling. Make all of the jokes you want about the game’s phoney nature; what we’ve seen so far is downright creepy. And in the interest of getting your week off on a frightful foot, we’ve rummaged around in Hudson’s creepy old mansion to secure some more screens, which you can find in the gallery below.

VC in Brief: Princess Tomato in Salad Kingdom (NES)
Princess Tomato in Salad Kingdom is your usual text-based adventure game, with a decidedly vegetarian twist. It’s tough for us to provide you with a comprehensive look at a genre with so much content — plus all of the trial-and-error. It wouldn’t make for a very comprehensive and enlightening video, however we soldier on. Check out the latest episode of VC in Brief above!
- Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom (NES, 1 player, 500 Wii Points)
Every week, we like to check out what’s new on the Virtual Console. We offer these videos as a sort of taste to help you decide whether or not you would want the game in question. We also toss in our own two cents because we’re pushy jerks like that.

Find out about Lost in Shadow with a demo
It’s been several months since we’ve seen anything about Lost in Shadow, and we’re quite pleased to be presented with a reminder of Hudson’s atmospheric platformer in the form of a new trailer (after the break). Last time we posted about the game, we described the concept of living shadows as “unbelievably creepy.” And now we have footage of a shadow being separated from a chained-up body by a sword! In other words, our previous assessment holds.
Famitsu has also posted some new screenshots of Lost in Shadow, highlighting two new enemies, which are also creepy. Most exciting of all: Hudson has posted a demo!

Castlevania: Rondo of Blood on Virtual Console ’soon’
After years of waiting, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood has been officially confirmed for a Virtual Console release in North America. A Hudson representative told Siliconera that the game was indeed bound for release on the Wii Shop, over a year after it was released as a download in Japan.
Hudson (and/or Konami) must have spent all that time implementing the English translation used in the PSP release, right? Nope! The Hudson rep said that “it will not be released in English, however.” You’ll just have to do your very best to understand how to whip a Medusa head in Japanese.

ESRB rates Castlevania: Rondo of Blood for Wii
Previously, unless you were a resident of Japan who owned a PC Engine CD in the early ’90s (or, more likely, a PSP owner anywhere in the world within the past two years ago), there wasn’t an easy way for you to get your hands on “Akumajō Dracula X Chi no Rondo” (Rondo of Blood’s Japanese title). But now, it seems that Wii owners outside of Japan will get the chance to check out the game.

European Nintendo downloads: Phoenix Wright, Electroplankton
The Wii port of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney arrives in Europe today, after being panned by US media for being a lazy port. We don’t think “lazy port” is a strong enough term for what is essentially a GBA game running in emulation. But, because it’s Phoenix Wright running in emulation, and its story is unaltered by the change in presentation, we personally don’t care. It’s not like anyone expected anything to be changed or added.
In other “things that used to be retail DS games” news, on DSiWare, Nintendo offers two more Electroplankton segments this week. Hudson also presents the hardest sudoku puzzles yet.
- Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (WiiWare, 1 player, 1,000 Wii Points)
- Electroplankton: Beatnes (DSiWare, 1 player, 200 DSi Points)
- Electroplankton: Hanenbow (DSiWare, 1 player, 200 DSi Points)
- Sudoku Sensei (DSiWare, 1 player, 500 DSi Points)

Hudson’s ‘Master Higgins’ sings on new game music CD
For some of us, the latest game music remix album release from Hudson is going to be a bizarre retrogaming oddity. But for a few — those who love Hudson classics and also idolize Takahashi Meijin, the Hudson PR executive who became famous for his ability to push a button 16 times a second, and who served as the model for Adventure Island’s protagonist, Takahashi Meijin Legend: Soul of the 16 Shot — is instantly going to become one of the year’s most anticipated music releases. And a bizarre retrogaming oddity.
Soul of the 16 Shot features the Meijin singing, auto-tuned, over new arrangements of the music from classic Star Soldier, Challenger and Milon’s Secret Castle. It’ll be available on CD and in the Japanese iTunes store January 27. After hearing the new interpretation of the Adventure Island music, we’re going to hope really hard that it shows up in the US iTunes store as well. Listen to some preview tracks after the break!
