A trusted tipster sent us this image, which appears to reveal that Kmart is knocking $20 off the usual $200 price of the Wii this week. According to the fine print in the image (full size), the deal runs from today through August 2.
At the time of this writing, both the white and black Wii bundles on Kmart’s website were still listed at $200, so it’s unclear if this is an in-store only promotion (or if it simply doesn’t exist at all). Kmart would not confirm to Joystiq whether or not the deal is available, but it should be noted that our tipster has always been right on the money.
Let us know if you spot the deal at your local Kmart.
[Thanks Master X!]

It seems Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock will attempt to achieve its goal of keeping the classic rock hits alive in a fairly unorthodox manner — by, well, redoing them. Activision has revealed another batch of the rhythm title’s songs, which include two exclusive re-recordings of Alice Cooper’s “No More Mr. Nice Guy” and The Runaways’ “Cherry Bomb,” as performed by their original artists.
Check out all the new additions — including un-re-recorded fossils like Edgar Winter’s “Free Ride” and Styx’s “Renegade” — just after the jump.
Update: Check out a behind the scenes video about the re-recording process after the break.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies was just released on the DS — if you’ve yet to check out our review, then here’s the pertinent linkage. So, considering how much Square Enix has invested in the title, it’s no surprise the brunt of producer Horii’s chat (which you can see for yourself past the break) largely revolves around his hopes for the game. Basically, he wants everyone to play it. What a surprise!

I gotta be honest with you guys: I thought I’d never get a chance to do one of these videos ever again. It seemed like Nintendo had forgotten about the poor old Virtual Console and left it to rot like some kind of thing that wasn’t supposed to be left out and was then subsequently forgotten about. Uh, yeah, that sounds about right.
Anyway, I’m just glad to be back. Head past the break for the latest episode of VC in Brief, featuring Iguana Entertainment’s Aero the Acro-Bat.
Every week, we like to check out what’s new on the Virtual Console. We offer VC in Brief 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.Continue reading VC in Brief: Aero the Acro-Bat (SNES)

Sorry, sorry, we know we should have gotten this up earlier, but even after all these years, Toys R Us‘ delicious “buy 1, get 1 50% off” sales knock us out. The sale includes all video games except PC games and pre-orders, so don’t think you’re getting clever by purchasing Fable 3 and Halo: Reach in full now.
This sale only comes around a few times a year, so it’s always good to pounce on it if you’ve been saving your nickels (idiom inflation). Oh, yes, and because it comes up every time: if two games have different values, the discount is applied to the game that costs less.

THQ’s Core Games VP Danny Bilson contributed to a panel with a few Syfy execs this past weekend at Comic-Con, along with Andrew Kreisberg, writer for the upcoming Red Faction: Origins movie. The panel was about “transmedia” in general and Red Faction specifically, with THQ being a prime example of a company trying to tell (and sell) a universe’s stories across multiple platforms and media. The way it’s all going to work is that Red Faction Guerilla starred Alex Mason, Red Faction: Origins will star his son and daughter Jake and Myra, and then Red Faction Armageddon will star Darius Mason, Alex’s grandson.
Kriesberg revealed that the movie will feature “three sort of main factions,” and that “they’re all sort of right. Everyone thinks this is their planet, and that’s what makes the drama.” Kriesberg shared one line from the movie that he believes wraps up a major theme: “It’s hard to win a war, because the winners have to clean up.”
Bilson also mentioned the upcoming downloadable game, and said that one of the factions from the movie, the White Faction, will have “elements” in the XBLA and PSN title. Bilson said that THQ’s got “two more of these” transmedia properties “in the hopper” — we presume he means Saints Row and de Blob, both previously revealed to be in progress.

During the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 Comic-Con panel, LucasArts producer Haden Blackman led a gameplay preview for the assembled crowd, showing off some new elements of the sequel which again stars fallen Vader apprentice Starkiller. The demonstration built on last month’s E3 preview, with plenty more scenes of messy Stormtrooper cleanup — it’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it.
As he showed troopers sliced, diced and Forcefully obliterated, Blackman noted that the development team has worked to diversify enemy AI. Player feedback from the first game criticized the different types of enemies for all acting the same, so LucasArts has created separate AI behavior for almost all of the enemies in the sequel. Of course, this also goes for the new enemies, of which Blackman introduced a giant walker equipped with a shield and a Carbonite gun. To defeat the menace, Starkiller must first use his Force power to rip off the shield, and then take on the vulnerable walker while dodging its freeze ray blasts.
