Mr. Driller Online will arrive on Xbox Live Marketplace this Wednesday. Now you can get all the classic arcade puzzle action you want, except this time you can play online.
The game modes included are: Classic Arcade mode, Quest Driller mode, Online split-screen Solo Battle and Online Tag Battle. For 800 Microsoft Points ($10), it doesn’t sound like a bad deal.
A leaked photo of this week’s pre-newsstand Famitsu spread the rumors about a new Street Fighter 4 character, and now Capcom’s US Blog has the details regarding this new fighter.
Joining Crimson Viper and Abel on the list of new contenders on the upcoming SF4 comes El Fuerte, a Mexican Lucha Libre wrestler (and a part-time gourmet cooker) that is said to compete with Abel and Zangief for the top grappler spot in the title.

Three people have broken their arms playing a Japanese arm-wrestling arcade cabinet game. The manufacturer, Atlus, recalling all 150 units placed in Nipponese video arcades.
Atlus spokesperson Ayano Sakiyama mocked the victims. “The machine isn’t that strong, much less so than a muscular man. Even women should be able to beat it.” She said the machines were being recalled as a “precaution.”
Players of “Arm Spirit” advance through 10 levels, battling a French maid, a drunken martial arts master and a Chihuahua, before reaching the final showdown with a professional wrestler.
The game is not distributed outside of Japan.
Atlus is best known for producing the RPG series Shin Megami Tensei .

I never read the manual, so it never occurred to me that people might collect old videogame and arcade cabinet manuals. But they do.
I shouldn’t be surprised. People collect everything.
ASCII’s Jason Scott points us to an online archive of 1,700+ arcade manuals in PDF format.
So if you need the maintenance manual for your cocktail-table Asteroids game, or a parts list for your Joust cabinet, you, sir, are in business.
