Disgaea DS confirmed
This week's issue of Famitsu confirmed that Disgaea would indeed be making its debut on the DS in the future. The title (roughly translated to "The Prince of the Demon World and the Red Moon") hints that it'll probably star Laharl. With that in mind, the only question that needs answered is if it's a port of the original Disgaea with new content, ( Read more... ) -
PS3 Purchase Justified; Mario Kart Wii sends ghosts global
First and foremost: my purchase of a PS3 has been justified. While I was in Japan, I got to test out the Initial D Arcade Stage 4 machine, complete with high-definition widescreen displays and everything. It was amazing (even moreso was the fact that I dominated a few of the races in a stock FD, after not playing for almost a year and a half. Looks ( Read more... ) -
PSN to become not so revolting!
As reported here, it looks like the Playstation Network will finally be receiving a visual upgrade in April. It's a long time overdue, as the store is an assault in usability and visual layout, but hopefully this update will change all of that. -
ロストオデッセィ
If you have a 360, and you like traditional RPGs, do yourself a favor and buy the newest attempt at making the 360 popular in Japan: Mistwalker's Lost Odyssey. But, I'm not here to gush over games (or, at least, not right now anyway). The entire reason for mentioning the game is to tell you that there was some sort of Pre-Order bonus at EBGames ( Read more... ) -
No demo for GTAIV; People more interested in chainsaw birds
Rockstar confirmed that there won't be any demo created for GTAIV, but to be honest, does anyone really care? The fans of the series are going to buy it on launch day without question, and pretty much everyone else knows what the game is about. And in case you've been living under a rock, it comes out at the end of April, so get ready and save up ( Read more... ) -
Wii News: Lunch Edition
So, this is basically going to be a summary of a summary, but here goes:
House of the Dead will contain the Dreamcast version of 2 and the XBOX version of 3, an will launch at $29.99. It is also supposedly stretched to widescreen, which doesn't exactly get my hopes up.
Sega SuperStar Tennis runs at 60FPS, but has slowdown in some mini-games. The ( Read more... ) -
Sony fixes up its new Home; Completion date unknown
Sony's Home is making a triumphant leap out of the "cheesy Second Life clone" area and into the "very awesome integration" camp. Integration plans were just announced for Warhawk, Uncharted, and Resistance, and they certainly look amazing. Home was something I originally didn't care about (and it's still second on my list to LittleBigPlanet), but ( Read more... ) -

Wii Homebrew Moves Forward
All I seem to be posting about is Wii news, lately. But Wii Homebrew took some major strides forward. A port of the SNES emulator, SNES9X was released today, along with an MP3 player. Add that to the Proof of Concept LINUX install, and things are looking bright. Read more hereI'm more excited about Valkyrie of the Battlefield (I posted screenshots ( Read more... ) -
My Life as a King
This is 95% of the reason I still actively care about the Wii. The sad thing, is that it looks better than 90% of the Wii games out in the market right now, and it only clocks in at 32MB. It's a shame more developers don't seriously develop for the Wii, instead of just bringing out shitty minigame collections.
