I’m not entirely familiar with Doubutsu Kisou Tengai (aka Amazing Animals), but if I recall correctly the show contains a series of animal tricks. Somehow Success Corp is going to turn this into a Nintendo Wii game called Doubutsu Kisou…

And Cartoon Network gets it. No show times have been announced, but it will appear before 11PM since it’s not part of Adult Swim. Perhaps, Blue Dragon will be an addition to the shrinking Toonami lineup?   The timing is…

MBC Game, the network that primarily shows reruns of Starcraft matches in Korea, has a program dedicated for Xbox gamers called 360 Live Attack. It starts out similar to a news program with two announcers talking about the latest Xbox…

I have to commend Sony for openly embracing import gamers. The PSP and the PlayStation 3 are region free for games, but not for movies. The latter is understandable considering movie studios are stuck with draconian product control that has…

The televised Guitar Hero match was just a glimpse into the diversity of video game shows I'm watching in Korea. (Yes, there are more than the Starcraft league.) Champ, a station that usually broadcasts cartoons like YuYu Hakusho, has a…

It seems like most retail outlets are having UMD fire sales, but MTV believes the format is far from extinction. A handful of their TV programs (read: not music videos) will be sold on UMD for $14.99. The initial list…

Pinnacle's digital video recorder is something Andrew, Jem and the crew of PSPFanboy are going to be drooling over. The gadget has RCA input plugs for a TV, DVD player, etc. on one side and a spot to connect a PSP…

When I got back to the USA I vowed to catch up on a bunch of games that never appeared in Japan. The Simpsons game was high on my personal list. Not because it was a mind blowing gameplay experience,…

Flashman Studios (stupid joke alert: Flashback Studios) acquired the rights to a number of classic TV shows. They have a Dick Tracey game in the pipeline for the DS and Wii made by Codeglue, a Netherlands developer who is working…

In this past Sunday’s episode, Bart wanders off into a new comic book store where the owner is seen playing Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution simultaneously. This isn’t the first time the Simpsons touched on video games. Last season…

I’m sort of out of the Nicktoons loop since I'm no longer in their target demographic, but I still have fond memories of their classics. Stuff like Ren & Stimpy, Rocko’s: Modern Life and Ahh! Real Monsters faded away years…
