Ryu and Heihachi walk into a bar. They fight. Later, Ryu and Pikachu walk into a bar. They also fight.

Gaming punchlines are a predictable (and unintentionally literal) lot. And we’re all right with that.

Look, Ryu, don’t take this the wrong way, but Mega Man wants your legs.

No! No! Not like that. Yeesh! That’d be just plain weird – not to mention awkward. See, he just wants to saw them off you and glue them to himself, is all.

Eurogamer got the chance of a lifetime, of sorts, when elusive and enigmatic Street Fighter champ Daigo Umehara agreed to an interview.

Turns out, he is very philosophical about his success, and extremely confident in his abilities. It also appears that competitions are not too fun for him anymore, since no one appears to be challenging enough. Poor fella.

“Right now, there’s nobody younger than me that I feel threatened by,”said Umehara. “I haven’t met anyone that I felt possesses the skill to surpass me in the future. I’m not over-evaluating myself. I can analytically see their weakness, their ineptitudes.

“When I look at a younger player, I can spot his weakness, like ‘his such-and-such is disadvantageous for fighting gameplay’. Everyone I’ve ever played has some fatal flaw. But you know, personally I enjoy being a challenger more than a titleholder.

“I definitely would welcome a supreme character’s arrival. When he appears, gaming for me will become fun again.”

The full interview is through the link, and it is a very good read.

It’s that time of the week again! It’s the US Nintendo update!

This week on DSiWare, you get Sparkle Snapshots, Viking Invasion and Battle of Giants: Dragons – Bronze Edition, while WiiWare gets Carnival King, Aha! I Got It and Family Card Games.

Finally, the Virtual Console gets the Arcade port of the first Street Fighter, as well as R-Type.

Get the details after the jump.
