NICO Lives

Post by Protodude »

From 1up.com wrote:Ever wondered what happened to that early leaked trailer of a psuedo-sequel to ICO that was titled NICO? Eventually the team transformed NICO to Shadow of the Colossus, but what happened to those early images of a boy riding with a buffalo herd? Well, just as Japanese gamers got a look at the early version of Resident Evil 4 in the pre-order disc they received with the game, those who pre-order Shadow of the Colossus in Japan will get a look at the real Nico.

In the bonus disc pre-orders receive, there's a collection of every trailer ever released for Shadow from the Tokyo Game Show 2004 to the commercials currently running around the world. Also included are screenshots and art sketches from the game. Finally, there is a Nico pilot film included. Never shown before in public, this video was "created as an idea of how we wanted the opening cutscene to look," according to the ICO team.

So if you have a friend in Japan, get them to pre-order Shadow of the Colossus (known as Wanda and the Colossus there) soon! Otherwise just keep counting down until the Japanese release date on October 27th and maybe that video will just get released somewhere...we can only hope.

I thought this topic was about the singer who had a one off collaboration with The Velvet Underground.

I wish this topic was about her.

Second'd.

And cheer up, Baba. You can make the topic yourself, after all.

Stop harassing the man. We're all allowed our own opinion aren't we? This isn't Russia.

Anyway, Ico wasn't all that. I didn't even like it.

You're entitled to your opinion, but that doesn't change the fact that this particular opinion is wrong.

But I wanted a reason to post the Andy Warhol banana in someone else's topic.

No, this is the GHZ. All opinions are required to be checked by me before deployment. From now on, anyone who says anything even remotely detrimental to Ico's reputation will be banned and only allowed to come back once they've had a long think about what they've done and how they intend to make it up to me. And in other news, this game will be the best fucking game ever, ever, and I trust you will all be buying it.

Why must you ruin all of my musical favourites for me by your very association? Why, why?

Because Venus in Furs and Sister Ray are two of my favorite songs. Do you like the Pixies? Because so do I. Anything else?

Only because people dress up in animal costumes at their gigs. Besides that I also much admire the Pixies, Flaming lips and Muse.
