By Spencer . May 15, 2008 . 11:07am

Supposedly, these screenshots from the Xbox 360 digital release of Soulcalibur “highlight the transition to the high definition era and fan favorite characters.” However, I can’t seem to find any good comparison images for a side by side comparison. On…

I heard about Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm last week, which sounded like an extension of Naruto Shippuden to me. Hurricane Chronicles and storm are both related to weather. Maybe this would be a localized version of Naruto Shippuden: Narultimate Accel?…

By Spencer . March 5, 2008 . 10:24am

Since some of you asked for it I scanned the character art pages from a Luminous Arc 2: Will brochure I saved from last year’s Tokyo Game Show. There isn’t much to say because this is something too see, but there…

Naruto and Star Wars referenced in Puchi Puchi Virus localization

By Spencer . February 28, 2008 . 3:07pm

Puchi Puchi Virus has 101 monsters to cure each with a silly name. However, the humor is full of Japanese puns, most of which would be lost in a direct translation. NIS America intelligently pulled a “Shin-Chan” to remove a…

The other game in the McDonald’s Original Happy Disc is the Burger Town Tradition stage from PaRappa the Rapper 2. The twist is PaRappa and Master Beard are working at McDonald’s instead of an independent burger shop. The lyrics are…

By Spencer . February 13, 2008 . 9:04pm

Sometime in 2001 Sony teamed up with McDonalds for a unique promotion, the McDonald’s Original Happy Disc. The PlayStation 2 game contains demos of PaRappa the Rapper 2 and Piposaru 2001 processed with additional hamburgers. Piposaru 2001 probably needs some…
