According to developer Neverland Company, the story will be based on Lufia 2, though it’s “not a remake”. It will be an action RPG for the DS. Believe it or not, it’s being made by most of the staff who originally made Lufia 2 on the SNES! Go to Canned Dogs for a translation of [...]

Edit: the pic was fake. The game actually features badly drawn anime-esque girls. A step up, admittedly, but still! What do we know about Sexy Poker for Wiiware? The name would imply sexiness, which I have never been opposed to. There is also talk of it including poker, which while several notches less exciting than [...]

Offworld reports that VG accessory maker, Innex, is releasing an adapter for the Wii which will allow one to plug in NES, SNES, and N64 controllers. This is perfect for VC games like Sin and Punishment and Starfox 64. Nostalgic players will also likely enjoy playing their NES and SNES game on their respective controllers. [...]

Yeah, really objective reporting going on here. Popular shmup developer, Cave, recently released Deathsmiles 2 to Japanese arcades. The game offers a unique new distribution method which gives arcades the option of receiving the game for free, in exchange for them sharing a share of the game’s profits with Cave, thus minimalizing the risk brought [...]

As I peel back the first petal – sorry. [...]

Treasure is announcing on their site they are developing a new Bleach title for the Wii called Bleach Versus Crusade. Little in known about it, but it will be a 2 player 3D fighter developed by the Treasure team that did the two Bleach fighters for the DS. While this means the title will probably [...]

Today is an epic day for Nintendo of America. For the first time since the NOA’s founding in 1980, they have acknowledged gay people exist, with the virtual console release of the homoerotic shooter, Chou Aniki. Nintendo has been known for its excessive censorship. For years even the slightest reference to subjects like relegion, alchohol, [...]

Magic Box was kind enough to inform people that Sega has announced a game for their popular (in Japan) Culdcept franchise for the DS. Anyone who’s ever played the game will know that the DS is the perfect system for the series, and multiplayer will be better than ever! It will be interesting to see [...]

…in Europe at least. Americans will have to wait another week. here are my impressions of the European version which will likely be identical. The translation is completely re-done.
