We're getting closer to the last ten QuickPeeks before we hit our first 100th issue! But before that, there's so much more to look back at in just this past week alone. The individual Warriors are all fired up, each of them having their fair share of controversies to address. From broken firmwares to debunked rumors of firmwares, broken street dates, and broken company reputations, we have them all right here, so just jump right in and dig in.

With the resignation of former president Yoshimi Yasuda and the legal tussle with Tomonobu Itagaki, Tecmo sure had a pretty rough 2008. But just when you thought that it's late into 2009 and they've moved on with their lives, well, they haven't. Kotaku reports that Wikipedia caught the publisher trying to edit details of last year's events out of its own Wikipedia page.

Many gamers have longed for days gone by in the gaming scene, and Capcom recently decided to bring Mega Man back to his roots with Mega Man 9. Now you'll be able to see just how old-school the game is with this new cinematic we found on GameTrailers. Find the video after the jump!

Are you of legal drinking age? Even if you're not, you may have already heard of Beer Pong, one of the more popular drinking games in college campuses these days. In fact, the game has proven to be so popular that a Beer Pong game is actually coming to WiiWare. Details in the full article.

In the history of Famitsu's review scores, only six games (according to Wikipedia) have ever gotten a perfect 40/40 from their review team. Well, Wii owners should have their worlds thoroughly rocked today, as Famitsu's announced their seventh perfect score, and it's for Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

This year, we've seen a lot of crazy things. But what's been popular though (Vanessa Ann Hudgens photos aside)? Yahoo! can probably answer that with their annual "Top Trends in Search" list for 2007.

While there are a lot of keywords being searched this year, what concerns us is the list of top 10 searches in technology. Who're the movers and shakers? You can probably guess already, but read more to see the full list!

 

There was quite a buzz when some sources used the Wikipedia Scanner created by a college graduate to track users that try to modify Wikipedia entries. One worth taking note of was Electronic Arts' page which was supposedly edited more than once by an employee from EA. Turns out the stories were true, and EA even talked to GamesIndustry.biz about it.

An EA spokesperson explained that the company sometimes updates websites like Wikipedia to "ensure accuracy of their own corporate information." Reasons on why they were attempts to cover the tracks of EA founder Trip Hawkins - something that the Wikipedia community will not allow in some conditions - and to change a few lines about lawsuits charged against EA were still left in the dark.

However, the spokesperson did state, "EA has sent a correction to Yahoo Finance when they had misspelled the name of an EA executive." Trip Hawkins, who was almost wiped off from the pages of Wikipedia for reasons unknown, is currently on vacation and has yet to give his input on the matter.

Website Shack News did quite a lot of detective work to find out that there's something going on behind Electronic Arts' Wikipedia pages. Shack News is claiming that multiple attempts to erase EA founder Trip Hawkins' information from the Wiki have been tracked down to be from EA's Redwood headquarters area.

Using the Wikipedia Scanner, they found out that a modification - done back in November 20, 2006 to remove Hawkins' name from EA's "key people" section on the company's Wikipedia page - was done using a computer with the supposed IP from EA. The same user also removed the references for Hawkins and took away a paragraph about the big man's business plan.

A couple of months after, someone using the same IP tried to remove Hawkins' name from the "History" section. Strange enough, the reference for him was back on the page. Some other changes by who we can assume as the same user, include removing some paragraphs from "Criticism" section and putting a spin on the lawsuit filed by overworked, under-compensated employees to make EA look a little better.

What does Resident Evil, Phoenix Wright and Devil May Cry have in common? Pretty boys. Shinji Mikami of course! A warm Happy Birthday goes out to one of the gaming industry's living legends who turns 42 today!

Mikami has been in the gaming industry for more than 15 years now and is responsible for a number of games we all know and love. Aside from the ever popular video games mentioned above, he's worked on such classics as Aladdin and Goof Troop during the days of the Super Nintendo, Dino Crisis and God Hand.

After working with the Resident Evil franchise with Capcom for almost a decade (so many zombies, so little time,) he joined Studio Clover in 2004 where he worked with Hideki Kamiya to produce Devil May Cry. He later founded Seeds Inc. together with Kamiya and Atsushi Inaba which was last heard to be in the process of developing a new game.

Certainly a lifetime of achievement can't be fully captured in a scant three paragraphs but cheers to Shinji Makima and again a Happy Birthday!

The last (most notable) appearance of Dr. Mario would probably be as an unlockable character in Super Smash Bros. Melee on the GameCube. And right now, it's still unknown if that same character would re-enter the Smash arena come Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Wii. Regardless, that doesn't necessarily mean that the Wii will be devoid of any Dr. Mario.

Over at the ESRB website, as Jac and KingBroly of GoNintendo point out, there seems to be a "Dr. Mario Wii" listed by the board. As of press time, and as seen in the screen cap below, there seem to be "no desciptors" available, so we're pretty sure to get an update though.

A lot of people have been speculating about this Dr. Mario Wii, asking if it's a real Wii title or just a Virtual Console reincarnation. Wikipedia says it's the latter though. But for what it's worth, we've never seen a VC title with a "Wii" tag at the end of its title (e.g. there's never been a Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Wii).

We'll be back as soon as we get the diagnosis on this title. For now, we're scribbling "Rumor" on this title's prescriptions.
