By Spencer . May 14, 2008 . 11:17am

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…

By Spencer . May 13, 2008 . 8:53pm

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…

By Levi . May 13, 2008 . 1:19pm

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,…

I saw and tried some of the games in Family Trainer: Athletic World, a hip to be fit mini-game compilation for the Wii coming out in Japan on May 29th. Trickboader wasn’t one of them.   Sure, the Wii has…

Pitfall takes a plunge on the Wii with PS2 graphics? (update)

By Spencer . May 12, 2008 . 10:56am

Pitfall’s popularity plummeted from being a multimillion selling game on the Atari 2600 and a household name to a retro memory. Activision has tried to evolve Pitfall into a 3D platformer, but the transition hasn’t been stellar. The latest version,…

Master the Haruhi dance with the Wii

By Spencer . May 12, 2008 . 8:42am

Japan already has two Haruhi Suzumiya games in stores. Both of them fit snugly in the text adventure niche. The third game doesn’t have a proper name yet, but I like to think of it as the Musical of Haruhi…

Good morning Chancellor Chime. Thanks for the report on my two warrior Clavats, Doris and Ansel. With only two warriors in the kingdom I wish there was a way to create more warriors with a male and a female other…

Different regions, different tastes of WiiWare

By Spencer . May 10, 2008 . 2:58pm

Levi sent over what looks to be an authentic press release detailing the six WiiWare games coming out on Monday. My first reaction is it’s more diverse than Japan’s launch with an emphasis on elementary games. If you were looking…

King of the Monsters smashing on to the Virtual Console?

By Spencer . May 9, 2008 . 12:35pm

The OFLC thinks so and it’s probably going to be the Neo Geo version. I can’t imagine SNK releasing the Super Nintendo / Genesis port done by Takara. On top of monster wrestling, city smashing fun Ninja Commandos may also…

The ESRB has another unannounced game sitting in their database, Space Invaders as a Nintendo Wii title. As much as I want this to be confirmation of Space Invaders Get Even, I’m inclined to believe this is a Virtual Console…

By Spencer . May 7, 2008 . 10:48am

Most WiiWare announcements in Japan and North America are getting coverage. Somehow Gameloft’s first WiiWare game almost fell off the radar. Block Breaker Deluxe was quietly released on Japan’s Wii Shopping Channel today. The game is essentially a Breakout clone…
