Hudson showed off a new game during Jump Festa in Japan and it was already in playable form! The game is called O-warai Party Game 100 Bakusho, which translates to Funny Celebration Game 100 Roaring Laughter. As you can guess, the new party game has 100 mini-games in it. Roaring laughter is stated to have [...]

I’m about to make an incision…on my arm if I don’t get to play Trauma Team soon. Atlus is still working on it, but they sent along new screenshots of the upcoming Wii medical operation game as a sort of Christmas gift, they say. Christmas gift? How ’bout releasing that other half of Persona 2. [...]

Shiren the Wanderer is…wandering over to the Wii here in the US, thanks to Atlus. The wander was more of a guided movement, which is good, because the popular Japanese dungeon crawling RPG series has seen little light in this country. A DS version of this Wii game did come out some time ago (released [...]

This was one of my most anticipated Wii games of 2009. Silly me. Anticipation is dumb. It nearly always builds unrealistic expectations and leads to inevitable disappointment. The Crystal Bearers is no exception. It’s disappointing. Not only that, but it’s pleasantly surprising as well. Though The Crystal Bearers might not be the game that I [...]

We knew not everyone would agree, but that’s why they’re our “Game of [...]

[As posted on Japanator] And now that I know this fact, I have decided, before playing it, that Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces is going to suck. It’s going to suck because it is coming out on January 12th, and I won’t be in a position to actually play it until at least January 16th. And [...]

I remember when the Wii was debuted at E3 a few years back. When you came around the corner to enter Nintendo’s huge booth after waiting hours in line, one of the first things you saw was a clear case holding the various controllers. There was white and black, but we also saw blue and [...]

Suda 51 is one divisive character, at least when it comes to his videogames. No More Heroes and Killer 7 are games that people either love or hate. An easy enough situation to have, as cel-shaded, stylized, and bat-s**t crazy games are not going to have the broadest appeal. A quiet, sharply dressed man rocking [...]

Does anyone tease as mush as Capcom? Seems like they enjoy speaking about the games they thought about making just as much as the stuff they actually finish. Take this sample from the Secret File promotional ‘zine for Tatsunoko Vs Capcom for instance. It features official-looking artwork of (headless) Phoenix Wright (maybe by Shinkiro?) and [...]
