I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the controls listed in those diagram mock-ups were just placeholder text lifted from some other game. And by "go out on a limb," I mean "assume with certainty." Same deal with the Options menu (and its Gore setting).
The whole House Party theme almost makes me not wanna buy any of those games. I suppose I'll have to settle for buying them weeks later when there on this sale and this promotion and done and forgotten (which is exactly what I'd do anyway).
Same here, though I did assume it was Ivy once I realized it was a SCV ad. Though, to be fair, Voldo's design is actually original whereas Ivy is just yet another chick with oversized breasts, so recognizing one but not the other doesn't really say all that much.
Sounds like they wanted a higher price than $10 but thought $15 wouldn't get any sales. And since selling it at any price between those is a no-go on XBLA, that system gets the $10 price while PSN gets the $13 price they preferred (or maybe they were cool with $12, but bumped it up to $13 to offset the cheaper XBLA price).
