UPDATE: If you’ve watched the episode already and wanna get our response to the PS3 region lock thingy-ma-bob, please take a second to check out this post on EpicBattleAxe.com. Thx!

Prepare the second wave and loose the beserkers, its time for another edition of EpicBattleCry! In this week’s Skirmish we try not laugh as Splinter Cell: Conviction is delayed again, contemplate non-HD streaming from Netflix on the Wii, revel around the rumor of a Tecmo Super Bowl remake, make the most of the news that Star Wars: The Old Republic is looking at a spring 2011 release window, and discuss the news that a new Zelda is on the way.

With our skepticism, facetiousness, and loathing of Project Natal firmly on the record we change gears this week. Since Microsoft has, thus far, failed to demonstrate how Natal could be not only workable, but even desirable as a controller for traditional games, we discuss some uses suggested by several forum members that may actually have merit for gamers.

Then, we take a look at some recent EBA Poll results and find out what gamers think about the recently released Army of Two: The 40th Day as well as the news that Splinter Cell: Conviction has been delayed once more.

The Battle Cry of the Week goes to the gang at ScrewAttack for their excellent parody of the Natal documentary screened at CES 2010, Out of this World and other under-the-radar classics, SCEE for region locking Demon’s Souls and refusing to sell it in all territories.

TecmoBowlRemake
We already know that the classic arcade title NBA JAM is being reinvented by EA and it also appears that the oh-so-freakin-awesome home console title Tecmo Bowl will be making a comeback as well…Actually, it’ll be making a “Throwback” to be specific…

Joystiq has sacked the details on a PSN and XBLA remake of the SNES version of Tecmo Super Bowl. Being fed tidbits of knowledge from “trusted source” that prefers to remain on the sidelines, the report states that the remake (originally thought to be based on the NES version), titled Tecmo Bowl Throwback, will feature HD graphics and an updated soundtrack to accompany its original roster, stats, and team customization options. Oh, and you can apparently play it “old-school” too without all the fancy HD stuff…

Anyway, this story is still developing, so we’ll keep you posted on any official news as it breaks.
