OK, it’s not exactly a preview of the entire Zerg race. But every starcraft 2 fan like me is dying to know more about the Zerg. Except for the appearance of Zerglings and Mutalisks in the demo previews, not much has been said about Zerg. Well, here is an image that was captured from a Blizzard presentation from Rob Pardo at GDC ‘08. It’s the new Zerg Ultralisk. We don’t know if it will be still known as the Ultralisk since it looks so different already. Personally, I love it. I just hope it has new abilities. I also hope the flying Mutalisks have new abilities as well, otherwise, these units will be just like those in Starcraft I which is boring. The new Ultralisk looks nasty eh? What do you think?

In Europe that is. Nintendo will release Mario Kart Wii in Europe on April 11. Mario Kart will be bundled with Wii Wheel (sounds funny eh?). It never ceases to amaze us how innovative Nintendo has become. Die hard gamers may balk at Wii taking the spotlight from Playstation 3 and xBox, but you just can’t ignore how so much fun Wii is compared to the two. It’s pulling in even the casual gamers.
Gamers can race against 11 players worldwide using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service. Wii Fit, another add-on to Wii that focuses on exercise games will surely be another hit when it arrives.
Starcraft 2 reveals the revamped Siege Tank. It is now called Crucio. Doesn’t sound nice; I prefer the old name Arclite. Looks cool though. The transformation animation is slick. But what I am really interested in is the Zerg race. How come they aren’t releasing any details of that yet? Hmph.
