An upcoming project from Yukes, or should we say their digital download division Akinai Games, leaked on the Internet. Their ESRB rated Beat Runner, a WiiWare game, and offered the following description.
 
“This is a racing game in which players control a robot that glides through a futuristic racetrack. Players can collect ’sound orbs’ scattered across [...]

Neverland Card Battles, true to its name, is a card battling game. Imagine an SRPG where instead of picking moves and skills from a set list, you pick them form a deck of cards; that’s the gist of a card-based game.
 
While I liked the mechanics of the game, Neverland Card Battles seems like a [...]

 
Yuke’s is bringing us Neverland Card Battles to us on October 28, which is actually before it comes out in Japan. Since the game is still in development I caught up with Ken Koyama, Product Manager at Yuke’s Company of America, to ask about Neverland Card Battles’ progress and their relationship with Idea Factory. One [...]

Cardinal Arc Portable is coming out in Japan on the PSP in September and it is portable version of Idea Factory’s PlayStaton 2 hybrid card battling / strategy RPG game known as Cardinal Arc. Yuke’s Company of America decided to pick up the PSP version, localize it, and release it as Neverland Card Battle [...]

In honor of the Double D Dodgeball review, I've crafted a simple haiku that summarizes the game nicely.
 
Video game dodgeball
with some retro-like graphics.
It's still just dodgeball.
 
Double D Dodgeball attempts to bring the fun of dodgeball off the playground and onto the Xbox 360 by packaging the game with graphics that make you wonder if [...]

There are only a handful of original Xbox Live games developed Japan that aren’t arcade ports or based on a franchise. Yuke’s Double D Dodgeball is one of them and I spoke to Ken Koyama, Product Manager at Yuke’s Corporation America, about the decision to pick the Xbox 360 as their platform of choice. [...]

Yuke’s is no stranger to digital distribution. They developed Go! Sports Ski and Go! Sports Skydiving for the PlayStation 3, both of which were published by Sony. With their first Xbox 360 game, Double D Dodgeball, Yuke’s chose to stick with the sports theme. The initial information about Double D Dodgeball doesn’t really make [...]

Besides Neves and Sixaxis controlled downloadable PlayStation 3 games we haven’t seen much from Yuke’s. However, it looks like Yuke’s American subsidiary is working on a project and it’s a dodgeball game. The OFLC has a rating for Double D Dodgeball as an Xbox 360 game. No other details have been announced, but I speculate [...]

Last year Yuke’s released Neves, a touch screen version of tangram with no pieces to clean up. We liked Neves on the DS and if you haven’t tried it here is your chance.
  
Yuke’s got around to making a flash demo, which starts off with a Russian Dance puzzle. If you complete it within the three [...]

Like all great ideas, Neves on the DS is so obvious that I don't know why someone didn't think of it sooner.  Neves (which incidentally is seven backwards) is basically a game of tangram on the DS.
 
What exactly is tangram?  If you haven't played it in elementary school, you missed out.  It's a deceptively simple [...]
