A recent PAX interview by RockBandAide with Harmonix’s John Drake reveals a ton of minutiae for hardcore fans, and confirms that Rock Band 3 will allow you to export the RB2 tracks for a fee — as you could with RB1.

PAX 10: Jimpressions of Kirby’s Epic Yarn
Sep 6th
After what has felt like an eternity of waiting, I have finally gotten my hands on Kirby’s Epic Yarn during PAX Prime. Both myself and the esteemed Jonathan Holmes took on the roles of Kirby and Prince Fluff for some co-op patchwork antics. So, here’s the burning question — has Nintendo just been stringing us More >
Sonic Colors preview: Wisp you were here
Sep 6th
We can all agree that Sonic Unleashed had some pretty deep lows — specifically, the Werehog. But the daytime segments in the game showed promise; almost a return to form. These areas of the game, for the unaware, combined Sonic Adventure-like 3D free-running elements alongside more classical, 2D elements from the series’ past. It was More >

Jim Sterling is always on the move. At different times throughout the day, I spotted him signing autographs, harassing strangers on the phone at the request of fans, and of course, playing videogames. I was More >
Video: Part two of Disney Epic Mickey’s opening cinematic
Sep 5th
During his keynote speech at PAX yesterday, Warren Spector revealed the second half of Disney Epic Mickey’s opening cinematic, which you can find and watch right after the break. The first half, you’ll remember, set Mickey up as a mischievous type who’d played around with a magical paintbrush and eventually fallen into a spinning vortex More >
Sonic Colors co-op has the potential for dickery
Sep 4th
It’s no rumor — there is two-player co-op in Sonic Colors.
The way it’s presented ain’t too shabby. See, you aren’t actually playing as Sonic or one of his furry friends. Instead, you assume control of robotic Sonic copies racing through Eggman-designed simulations, sort of like test runs to see if his devious traps are enough More >
Retro City Rampage shooting for December on WiiWare, ‘in talks’ for XBLA and PSN
Sep 4th
While demoing Retro City Rampage, one of the PAX 10, its creator Brian Provinciano revealed to Joystiq that the game would likely launch in December of this year. Up until now, all we had was a tentative Q4 2010 window — Provinciano nailed the last month of the year as being an optimal time to More >
No DLC for GoldenEye 007
Sep 3rd
After having it bluntly confirmed that GoldenEye 007 would indeed have no DLC whatsoever, I struggled with whether or not to top this story off with our intrepid hero, Captain Obvious. On the one hand games on the Wii just don’t get DLC, but on the other it isn’t impossible for them to get it More >
