  • Nintendo’s E3 Press Conference Overview

    Overall I was extremely disappointed…there really wasn’t anything announced for the Wii and DS that I need to get. Animal Crossing is cool and everything, but it’s not on the same level as a new Mario/Metroid/Zelda/etc. game. 3rd Party Games Wii – Star Wars The Clone Wars – Use Wiimote like a light saber. Coming…

  • Captain Rainbow

    It looks weird, so I’m interested and it’s being developed by Skip Ltd., who made Giftpia, this weird Gamecube game that I imported and tried to play even though I know absolutely no Japanese whatsoever. It would have been cool, though, the premise of the game was you overslept for your coming of age ceremony…

  • Wario Land: Shake It!

    I’m seriously all for 2D gaming making a comeback. These animations seem awesome, I just feel like when it comes to 2D there is a higher level of detail involved in the games. I’ll definitely be picking this one up, I never actually played any of the Wario games (except for one on the Gameboy…

  • Fire Emblem DS Screenshots

    Just a few screen shots for the upcoming Fire Emblem DS, including the box art. The game is a remake of the original Fire Emblem, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragons and the Blade of Light, with enhanced graphics and online play over WiFi, making it way more awesomer. There’s no word yet if it’s coming to…

  • Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia Japanese Trailer

    I like lighting effects when she’s fighting the guys in the spot light.

  • ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat Coming to U.S.

    Archaic Sealed Heat, it had everything going for it, awesome graphics and it’s a Hironobu Sakaguchi produced RPG, but it only sold about 50,000 copies in Japan (50,000 doesn’t seem that bad…but, I guess that’s bad nowadays). What’s your problem, Japan? I mean seriously, dick move guys. Anyway, the ESRB has given ASH an E10+…

  • Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia Announced (DS)

    Konami officially announced the next Castlevania game last night during their Gamer’s Night ’08 in San Francisco. Dracula is back again, but this time years after the Belmont family has disappeared. The lead character, Shenoa, is a female, which is a first (technically second I think, the other game with a female character was removed…

  • WiiWare Launches Today

    WiiWare, the Wii servies offering downloadable games and applications specifically designed and developed for the Wii, launched today. The games vary in price, from just 500 Wii Points to 1500 Wii Points. The six games available are: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King for 1500 Wii Points LostWinds for 1000 Wii Points…

  • Earthbound Bound For Virtual Console?

    Well, it looks like it could be happening…I never thought it would (Nintendo of America refused to bring over any of the GBA Mother games so I figured it was the end of the series for me), but it looks like Nintendo might be bringing Earthbound stateside via the Virtual Console. The ESRB has recently…

  • Super Smash Bros. Brawl Initial Impressions

    I bought Brawl last night and since then have played the game for just over 10 hours. I’ve mostly played the Subspace Emissary as well as one run through classic mode with Snake and 20 of the single player events. I also played a quick online game with Gmoney and another one with a random…

  • Virual Console Update – Kirby 64 and Psychosis

    This weeks VC updates are, I assume, pretty radical. I assume so because I haven’t actually played either of the games, so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. Kirby 64 was one I always wanted to play but never got around to buying…I guess now is my chance. Psychosis…I’ve never heard of, but…

  • 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…
