This is Yamato’s Nero figure, from Devil May Cry 4. He is large, he’s so far only slated for a Japanese release, and has a rather childish look of disappointment to him.
Like he asked for an ice cream, and his mother said “no”.
Made by Yamato, you can import it when it’s released in December for just over $100.

Yesterday, we gave you video of the makeshift Mario Museum Nintendo set up outside of its New York City store, commemorating the launch of New Super Mario Bros. Wii. But that video didn’t quite capture the wild sights nearby.

I shot this picture inside the Nintendo World Store. It’s a nice first image, right? But I actually wanted to order these with the museum first. It was right outside the store. Take a look…
This was the rear of the museum. Inside were TVs running footage from Mario game commercials, drawings and paintings of Mario, and lots of assorted Mario stuff.
In the museum we have the Mario baking pan…
And some Mario clothes…
and more clothes…
…and more.
We have a Mario Bros. costume, with an inflatable belly.
This is the Luigi costume, along with a sweater even Bill Cosby might not wear.
The stands here displayed Mario lunchboxes, shampoo and other items.
Here’s that Mario lunchbox.
And outside the museum, here I am at what would be the DJ station for the outdoor part of the event.
These pillows weren’t protected from the downpour that arrived minutes after I snapped these photos.
Adjacent to the museum and DJ areas was the Nintendo World Store itself, decked out for the New Super Mario Bros. launch.
A second look at the windows. Shoppers inside could buy the new Wii game early.
Upstairs in the store, people could pose for photographs with these pillows.
People could also play older Mario games.
Various Mario designs marked the walls.
More wall art.
And still more.
Here’s a rare Donkey Kong sighting on Mario day.
The store sells a lot of Nintendo-themed items. I photographed a few Mario-related items, though not all are tied to the new game.
More merchandise.
And still more Mario-themed merchandise.
You could also buy Mario-themed stuffed figures.
More of the stuffed stuff.
And here’s Peach, fittingly captured, yet again!
Spot the non-Mario figure here.
Bowser gets an extreme close-up.
People were dressed as Mario (and Luigi).
Looks just like the real thing?
Mario playing Mario.
That’s more like it. It’s Mario.
My favorite sign in the store.
And one more look at those coins, hanging just a little too high for me to grab from the bottom floor.
BioWare has updated the holonet page on the Star Wars: The Old Republic website with more information on the Imperial Agent, the recently revealed character class for the upcoming MMO.
Revealed last Friday, the Imperial Agent is a powerful player in the Empire’s ploy for universal power. Whether working in the shadows with his or her trusty sniper rifle or boldly calling in an orbital strike, the Imperial Agent has the full power of the Empire behind them at all times, in exchange for their undying loyalty.
Hit up the link for some videos of the Agent’s skills in action.

Origin’s classic Ultima series was many things, but sexy, it was not. It was anti-sexy. Which is what makes this sexy “Ladies of Ultima” calendar all the surprising. And…sexy.
It’s not actually called “Ladies of Ultima”, as EA obviously own the rights to the brand. So it’s called “Mystik” instead. But it does depict characters and events from the series, and even has the blessing of Ultima’s creator, Richard Garriott.
We’ve posted a selection of shots here, but to see all of them, as well as read up on just who/what they’re depicting, visit the calendar’s site below.

Is it too soon for referential Hindenburg humor? I can never tell.
It’s another batch of screenshots for Pandemic’s The Saboteur, featuring protagonist Sean Devlin doing things other than wading through the seedy underbelly of World War II’s burlesque scene. Marvel as he blows up a blimp! See him climbing a thing! Behold – he’s totally talking to that one guy!
Ever Wondered What the Bottom Of Russian Bayonetta’s shoe looks like? BAM! Reader Sergey sent photos he took at Igromir 2009, Russia’s biggest gaming expo. More in the link below, some NSFW.
