One Taiko no Tatsujin (Taiko Drum Master) game a year isn’t enough either. To be fair Taiko no Tatsujin: 7-tsu no Shima no Daibouken was a portable game for the Nintendo DS. The unnamed console version of Taiko no Tatsujin is…

The rumor about Sega and Platinum Games linking up seems more and more true. Leaked shaky-cam videos for Bayonetta and Mad World have been removed “due to a copyright claim by Sega of America.” Since Sega pulled the videos they’re pretty much…

With yesterday's launch of WiiWare, the Wii has finally entered the world of downloadable original games. And while the launch lineup may be a bit meager, numbers-wise, there's definitely some quality to be found among the titles. Take, for example,…
