Thanks to Shin Densetsu of HissTank.com for providing a lot more information about the upcoming Rise of COBRA video game. The latest issue of Nintendo Power apparently has some more details that we hadn’t previously been aware of.
Click here to see the full details of what he had to say, including mention of characters like Night Creepers, Stalker, Red Ninjas, and B.A.T.’s. Also mentioned are the vehicles Crimson Attack Tank, Flight Pod, HISS Tank and Snowcat.
Keep in mind I also had a pretty exhaustive rundown here on GeneralsJoes with all of the different information taken from the Toy Fair demo.
HissCommander from TheTerrorDrome.com has posted some very nice high resolution images from the Hall of Heroes series. While the figures don’t excite me much due to the repetition of parts use and character over-abundance, I gotta say the packaging is freaking beautiful. It’s tempting to drop some green on them just for the cards alone…very nice.
The latest issue of Nintendo Power apparently contains a nice article on the upcoming Rise of COBRA video game being released this summer by Electronic Arts. It covers both the Wii and DS versions of the game. While there doesn’t appear to be many differences between the Wii version and the X-Box 360 or Playstation 3 ones, there are sizeable differences between the DS version and all others.
To check out some new screenshots and some info about the Nintendo based systems, grab the May issue of Nintendo Power on newstands. A small preview of the article can be seen below, with thanks to Shin Densetsu and Snake Eyes-Joe Ninja of HissTank.com.
TVShowsonDVD has debuted a possible picture of the cover art for the upcoming Shout! Factory Season 1 part 1 DVD set being released this summer to coincide with the theatrical release of G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA.
More important than even that, though, is an article from homemediamagazine.com who spoke with Garson Foos, President of Shout! Factory. One quote in particular should make folks pretty happy:
“Foos said Shout! Factory would follow the release with special complete-series sets of “The Transformers” and “G.I. Joe” later this summer. In the case of “G.I. Joe,” Rhino lost the rights before completing its release slate, which means many of the episodes will finally be released for the first time.”
So, it sounds like we may not have to hunt down several different half-season sets. Very cool.
Rich_JJ over at HissTank came across a short video on IGN with a quick snippet of a conversation with Channing Tatum about his role as Duke and the fight scenes in the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA. The person Duke fights against in the scene he mentions may surprise you! Check it out below:
ComicsContinuum has posted a “First Look” 5-Page preview of the upcoming G.I. Joe: COBRA #2, which hits local comic shops on Wednesday, April 15th.
Written by Christos Gage and Mike Costa, and with art by Antonio Fuso, the book centers on G.I. Joe undercover agent Chuckles attempting to infiltrate the most secretive terrorist sect known to mankind. Along the way we see some familiar faces and watch Chuckles slow descent into the terrorist underworld. Check out the 5-page preview here.
In my personal opinion, this is the best G.I. Joe book I’ve read from IDW yet, I’m greatly looking forward to Issue #2 next week!
