Why Robin Makes Batman Better And our contest continues! Today, since we’re short on plane costumes, we bring you this B-2 “Spirit” bomber from reader Stephen, who writes:
So I know I don’t score many points in the effort category here, but hopefully I make it up in the creativity and fan devotion categories :)
The idea is that it’s a top down view of a B-2 “Spirit” bomber. Since it’s a little esoteric I’ve attached a picture of a real B-2 for reference that maybe you can include with it.
Hit the jump for comparison fun fun.
We’re not sure if this is adorable or cruel! Kotaku commenter Purple-Penguin writes:
My son is dressed as a plane, a radio controlled plane, or you can look at it as I made a plane out of my son.
Here’s what’s going on: Dress up as an aeroplane or make a three dimensional aeroplane out of anything tangible, but paper. So you can’t make CGI planes! And you can’t draw them either! But, you can make them out of anything else as long as it’s not paper. Rocks, clay, toothpicks, whatever! And remember, that means make and not build a plastic plane model you bought in the store. Send entries to kotakucontestATgmailDOTcom and, like all contests, don’t forget to add a “Kotaku” sign. Remember, we’re giving away two copies of Ace Comabt 6 and INTERNET FAME. One copy for the best plane cosplay, the other for the best crafted plane.
Hit the jump for reader Adam’s plane, which he based off the Wright Flyer and made entirely out of Q-tips!
And the entries are pouring in! Above, reader Daniel cosplays as an aeroplane.

Haven’t figured out if we’ll give one out to the best cosplay and one to the best 3D plane, though…
Hit the jump for Kevin’s plane, which he made out of 300 pipette tips.
Alrighty! Since none of you bastards (I repeat none) are willing to cosplay as airplanes, we’re going to change up this contest. And giveaway another copy of Ace Combat 6 in the process. That’s right, we’re giving away two copies of Ace Combat 6 to the winner and the runner-up. New contest: Make a three dimensional aeroplane out of anything tangible, but paper.

Just as one contest wraps up (still need to post the finalists — will do shortly!), we’ve got another. This one is a cosplay contest. But not any just cosplay contest. A radical cosplay contest. Here’s the deal: Dress up like an aeroplane. Any type of aeroplane is fine! Pose with a Kotaku sign. Send it to kotakucontestATgmailDOTcom. THAT’S IT. Easy, huh? Bandai Namco has agreed to give away a copy of Ace Combat 6 to the winner. We’ll be giving away INTERNET FAME. Contest ends wraps up April 11th at midnight PST. INTERNET FAME lasts forever.
Happiness is coming to Ace Combat 6 owners in the form of downloadable content that will be made available over Xbox LIVE this Thursday. Content includes five new plane variants that range in price from free to 400 MS points. Also available will be three new multiplayer maps ranging from 100 – 300 MS points each and one new single player map for 350 points. You can check out all the details on each plane and map after the jump.
If this blurry image is to be believed, Xbox 360 “exclusive” Ace Combat 6 will be ending up on the PS3 apparently sometime this year. Why shouldn’t it be? We’ve known Ace Combat 6 is apparently a “timed exclusive” for almost a year now. The above scan from magazine PSM3 states: Japan’s favorite dogfighting series returns with a new made-up war, a brace of superweapons (best is the asteroid cannon), online co-op and a custom controller for superfans.
Well, that’s super. Unless we’re talking first party here, does the word “exclusive” mean anything to anyone? Like, at all? Ace Combat Flying to PS3? [N4G via Digg via PS3 Fanboy]
If you feel like your Ace Combat 6 fighter jet is giving off a bit too much of a testosterone vibe, why not take the masculinity down a few notches by adding a 16 year old anime girl to it? These soon to be released The IDOLM@STER decals for the F-117A Night Hawk feature all-singing, all-dancing fake idol Yukiho Hagiwara. Apparently, she’s afraid of chihuahuas. If that doesn’t lop the balls off your stealth fighter, I don’t know what will. Maybe a heatseeking Louis Vuitton purse.
The IDOLM@STER skin is just one of six that will be available to Japanese gamers as downloadable content on December 20th.
Famed mecha designer Shimada Fumikane is fucking pissed. He’s posted a photo of the Ace Combat 6 disc snapped in half along with this note, which says something like:
I played it from the PS1 branding up to the PSP one, but this thing I’m giving up on. Until this, I’d clear the game on “expert.”
Know it’s not because of THE iDOLM@STER airplane.
M’kay. Hooray for people with too much money and not enough sense!
