  • Advance Wars: Days of Ruin Initial Impressions

    I picked up Advance Wars: Days of Ruin yesterday at the Nintendo World Store launch party (I arrived to the party late, but it didn’t look like I missed much…the only thing I saw there was Advance Wars: Days of Ruin banner hanging up, and everyone working was wearing Advance Wars shirts). After playing through…

  • Rumored New Castlevania DS Screenshots

    New Castlevania DS screenshots have surfaced, possibly showing a follow-up to Iga’s most recent Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. It looks like this newest Castlevania might have a female protagonist. What’s even more interesting is on the title screen there is a Wii menu item, indicating some sort of Wii connectivity. Does this mean their is…

  • Advance Wars Launch Party Sunday

    This Sunday, January 20th, Nintendo will be holding a launch party for Advance Wars: Days of Ruin at the Nintendo World Store in New York. It starts at 1 PM and ends around 3 PM. I’m sure they’ll be all kinds of Advance Wars craziness going on. They’ll also be giving the game away for…

  • Atlus Announces New DS Game: Drone Tactics

    Robot bugs, hundreds of weapons, and over 50 maps…what more could you want in a strategy RPG? March 25th, 2008 can’t come soon enough. Giant robot bugs are always super awesome. The whole press release is below:

  • Six Million DS Systems Sold in 2007

    That’s for the U.S. alone, and maybe that does seem that huge, but apparently that’s one DS sold every five seconds. I love my DS, so I can totally understand the appeal. I would think the biggest selling point for the system are the games, the DS has so many titles that appeal to a…

  • Square Enix Announces New DS Game: The World Ends With You

    From the makers of Kingdom Hearts comes the latest Square Enix game, The World Ends With You, for the DS. The game is set in Shibuya, the “coolest district in Tokyo.” The main character’s name is Neku, who wakes up one morning to find a message on his phone saying he has seven days before…

  • Nintendo Reports Huge Sales

    The Nintendo DS set a sales record last week (between November 18 – 24), selling more than 653,000 units! The previous title holder? The Game Boy Advance, moving 600,000 for the same time period in 2005. Well done Nintendo, well done.

  • I Finally Finished Etrian Odyssey

    Yes, I actually completed a game…I even saw the credits. Etrian Odyssey was released on May 15, 2007 and I bought it the day it came out…so that’s roughly…6 months, 4 days. After watching the credits and getting a “Fin” I saw that there is some post-game stuff to do, so I haven’t nearly done…

  • Now Playing: 11/13/07

    I haven’t done one of these in like a month, so I decided to add a new update. I haven’t been spending a ton of time playing any games lately, but I’ve still manage to play a bunch of different titles. Some are old, some are brand new, and a select few are awesome and…

  • Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker Initial Impressions

    I picked up Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker (DS) yesterday and I’ve been able to play the game for a good two or three hours so far. I’ve never played a Dragon Quest Monsters game before, so it’s all new to me, even though I’ve seen all the monsters before in other Dragon Quest games. Anyway,…

  • Wine and Video Games, a Perfect Match

    Wine no Hajimekata DS is a Square Enix game about wine. I honestly can’t find out anymore information about the game. Does it tell you what wines go well with what meals? How to identify a good wine compared to a bad wine? I have no idea. Wikipedia has nothing, and IGN simply has this:
