Nintendo really enjoys making multiple versions of their consoles, don't they? First they came out with the DS "Phat" which I decided to buy because of Brain Age but stores no longer sell them. Then they came out with the DS Lite which I also bought for the better battery power for long flights. Now Nintendo is going to release the Wii with...
Well, what do you know... All that talk in the 2ch forums I read a few weeks ago about an Anime show of Persona 3 being made was true after all! Only thing is, the show will be called "Persona: Trinity Soul" and will be set 10 years after the events of the game. In the developing futuristic city of Ayanagi, there have been many incidents where...
Co-op mode is looking really fun from this new TCNB video. Some great teamwork from the two players as they sped through the operation but, I'm sure they "rehearsed" this before the recording. They probably didn't get a good score either hearing the number of mistakes they made. I'm going to have to order myself another nun-chuck on the...
It looks like we don't lose out on everything when it comes to game releases here in PAL land. According to C3, the Game stores around here will be holding an evening launch event next Thursday for Super Mario Galaxy. There will be free goody bags for people who turn up, a costume competition judged by Nintendo themselves for a chance to...
I don't think there's that many successful game to movie adaptations so far apart from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Tomb Raider was so-so and the Resident Evil movies weren't really any good either (what's with everyone copying the Matrix effect?). I always thought that if they're going to make a movie out of a game, they might...
It's pretty amazing what you can do with the internet. First, all a UK student done was rent a domain, setup a blank page and offer some pixel space for "sale". It bagged him over US$1,000,000 with what seems to be very little effort although I'm sure the publicity the site got really helped. The whole "time capsule" idea seemed to have...
It's been a month since the West got a nice site up for Trauma Center: New Blood complete with its weekly updates but, the Japanese only had the magazines to look to - until today. The Japanese site for "Caduceus: New Blood", which officially opened at 18:00 today again, looks better than its Western counterpart in my opinion. There's a...
When I first loaded up Hironobu Sakaguchi's latest game "Archaic Sealed Heat", I have to admit I was put off by the somewhat "bad" balance between the 2D sprites and 3D graphics. They just don't look quite as impressive as S-E's recent offerings on the DS. However, after giving it a few hours of play, I found there was much more to this...
First off, hope you had a good night for those of you who went out for Halloween! Over at my place usually one or two group of kids come to ring the door bell for "Trick or Treat" but this year, the streets were deserted. Maybe it was because of the bad windy weather outside. So, onto the gaming news. It's nothing exact yet but we now know this...
For this week's Trauma Center: New Blood update we've got a new video introducing the "New Faces". We've heard and seen Markus, Valerie and Elena before but they introduce a few other characters too including Professor Wilkins who mentions some sort of disease. I'm pretty sure this is going to be the epic disease that threatens the...
