Back in February I discovered Ubisoft trademarked Dinoz and Monkeyz, both appeared to be more Petz games. The Dinoz trademark may or may not be related to Dinosaurs: Combat of Giants which was just rated by the OFLC as a…

Most of Nintendo's first party WiiWare games are sitting on Wii Shopping Channels around the world. Yakuman Wii, a mahjong game with Miis, is probably the exception. Katachi no Game: Maru Bou Shikaku (Game of Shapes: Ball, Stick, Square) may have…

Destructoid posted a rumor that Mega Man 9 is in development and when I saw Editor in Chief Nick Chester at the Metal Gear Solid 4 party he believed Capcom is working on it. We know Capcom is working on more…

Last year, Koei showed a Nintendo DS game with cute intergalactic dogs gobbling everything in sight. The game is known as Gabu Gabu Planet in Japan and probably Prey the Stars everywhere else. I’m sticking with “probably” because Koei has…

In news straight out of the "Never saw it coming" department, the OFLC has rated four new import TG-16/TG-CD titles for the Virtual Console, and the most interesting among them is Cho Aniki. I honestly never thought I'd see the…

Geometry Wars fans, get ready for more retro inspired insanity. The OFLC has rated Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2! Yes, it looks like a sequel is indeed coming. While the OFLC website lists it as "multiplatform", it's most likely coming…

The OFLC website has listings for three new Virtual Console games, and the most interesting among them is Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa for the NES. This strangely named, import only platformer casts you as a baby named Upa who attacks…
