Capcom releases Mr. Bill game for iOS]]>http://www.joystiq.com/2010/09/25/oh-no-capcom-releases-mr-bill-game-for-ios/http://www.joystiq.com/2010/09/25/oh-no-capcom-releases-mr-bill-game-for-ios/http://www.joystiq.com/2010/09/25/oh-no-capcom-releases-mr-bill-game-for-ios/#commentsFiled under: , ,

For iPhone and iPad owners who are also old, Capcom has released a new game starring the 1970s Saturday Night Live character Mr. Bill. In Mr. Bill, players guide the unlucky clay character through a series of jobs given to him by the Sluggo Employment Agency.

Two jobs are available in the initial game: human cannonball and farm hand. Capcom plans to release more levels and jobs in the future -- for free. The first update will be a zombie-themed level due on Halloween. Do zombies eat clay?

If you're at all curious about this vintage character's new adventure, Capcom has temporarily priced the game at 99 cents for the launch. The publisher didn't mention the regular price, but it's, you know, more.

We're used to Alec Baldwin swooping down like some sort of comedy angel to save even the worst episodes of Saturday Night Live, but we doubt even Della Reese crossed with Don Rickles could have preserved the chuckles this week. A skit involving Wario Land: Shake It is a prime example of Baldwin's ability to bail out what's essentially a sinking ship.

Jokes that tie Wiimote motion to masturbation are so old now as to be almost quaint, but Baldwin manages to bring a certain classiness to the proceedings, and the bit (which you can see after the break) ended up a semi-bright spot in an otherwise crushingly dim evening.

Reader Marc M. spotted this ad on television while watching Saturday Night Live. This ad features montages of LittleBigPlanet, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Gran Turismo 5: Prologue. No pre-rendered footage here! All three of these beautiful games were showcased using realtime PS3 graphics ... and all are exclusively available on Sony's console. This ad's approach seems to be "let the games do the talking," but we do wish it were a bit more exciting. Y'know, like this one.
