Wukka-wukka-wukka-wukka-wukka-wukka…<\/p>\n

There’s going to be an orchestral concert tour that will play only video game music called, Video Games Live<\/a>. They’ll also have screens showing gameplay from the relevant games. I can’t believe Akihabara isn’t on the venue list.<\/p>\n

\nThe following games have been confirmed although we have a few other tricks up our sleeves as well. For now you can bet on the following…<\/p>\n

Mario\u00e2\u201e\u00a2, Zelda\u00c2\u00ae, Halo\u00c2\u00ae, Metal Gear Solid\u00c2\u00ae, Warcraft\u00c2\u00ae, Myst\u00c2\u00ae, Final Fantasy\u00c2\u00ae, Castlevania\u00c2\u00ae, Medal of Honor\u00e2\u201e\u00a2, Sonic\u00e2\u201e\u00a2, Tron, Tomb Raider\u00c2\u00ae, Advent Rising, Headhunter, Beyond Good & Evil\u00e2\u201e\u00a2, Tom Clancy medley (Splinter Cell\u00c2\u00ae, Ghost Recon\u00e2\u201e\u00a2, Rainbow Six\u00c2\u00ae), EverQuest\u00c2\u00ae II and a special retro arcade segment that goes from Pong\u00c2\u00ae to Donkey Kong\u00c2\u00ae! Some other confirmed games for our “Arcade Classics” segment include Centipede, Robotron, Satan’s Hollow, Punch-Out!, Ghosts ‘n Goblins & Outrun just to name a few.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It would be safe to assume that instead of cigarette lighters the audience will be waving backlit GBAs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
