Play N Trade’s tournaments are back. Kicking things off for the summer will be Smash Brothers Brawl. It’s going down Sunday May 10th at 1pm. $15 buy in.

The fine text reads:

3-stock matches, 7 minute timer.

Each set played is best 2 of 3. Loser of the 1st round picks 2nd round level. Single Elimination.

Ransom stage select Among: Battlefield, Final Festination, Smashville, Yoshi’s Island, Halberd, Lylat Cruise, Pokemon Stadium.

Bring your own controller. PnT only has a few extra. Gamecube is preferred.

We’ll be there to record the event in HD shaky cam.

Update: It seems that PnT did not realise, nor did we, that the event is on Mother’s Day. FAIL. The event is still a go, but we may or may not be able to record any or all of it. Sorry. =(

Capcom announced about an hour ago that they will be selling the RE5 Tricell press kits to the public starting at 3pm pst (6pm est). Very short notice but I know I couldn’t live without one..or two. No price has been announced. No one will know untill the item shows up.

I doubt these will sell out as fast as the SF2THDR and MM9 kits did, so there should be enough time to secure one.

Here is the link to refresh if you are interested.

NCSX and Play-Asia are now taking pre-orders for the import fighter BlazBlue. While this game isn’t going to be stealing any thunder from SF4 of KoF12, it will be good to get some Guilty Gear style action in HD. Hori is also releasing some themed joysticks for BlazBlue. Of course the 360 users will be getting the inferior joystick compared to the PS3. Not that it matters though, if you don’t have a NTSC/J 360 you’ll have to play it on PS3 anyway.

BlazBlue PS3 $68.90 | Hori wireless BlazBlue Fighting stick PS3 $119.99

BlazBlue 360 $68.90 | Hori wired BlazBlue Fighting stick 360 $99.99
