I love video games but they don’t always love me back. For instance, I know for a fact EA games don’t love me. But I suppose that’s reasonable considering some of the mean things I’ve said about them. Sadly, Persona 3 doesn’t love me either. I’m able to tell because it keeps killing me repeatedly. [...]
Probably to coincide with Disgaea 3, Nippon Ichi is releasing some nifty looking Disgaea figures this November.
Thanks to Majoria’s News for the info.
In furthering the creditability of online journalism I bring to you a post on the Neo-Geo.com boards. It seems SNK has signed a deal with South Korean developer, Dragonfly, to develop an online Metal Slug game for PCs.

The first (actual) new character in Smash Bros has been revealed, since E3 2006. Ike, from the Game Cube Fire Emblem. Ike wields a two handed sword with one hand. That’s just how he rolls. It is likely his move set will differ from Marth and Roy’s.

Izuna is a rougelike game in the same vein as Torneko, or Chocobo’s Mysterious Dungeon. here’s hoping it gets picked up for a U.S. release. Thanks to Insert Credit for the news.
According to a rep on their message board, Capcom USA will be releasing two Phoenix Wright soundtracks, titled “Ace Attorney Meets Orchestra” and “Ace Attorney Meets Jazz”.
I humbly speculate that one is an orchestrated arrangement and the other is a Jazz remix.
Well, they’ve been out in Japan for some time, but it’s great to see [...]
The word “Obscure” gets tossed around a lot in gaming media. I don’t know if it’s because professional journalists only play mainstream games or if it’s because they don’t think gamers want to read about actual obscure games, but when gaming magazines refer to “lesser known games”, they are talking about games you see all [...]

There are few reasons for people not fluent in Japanese to own a Wonderswan. Most WS games are either black and white versions of games already on other consoles, or RPGs/interactive novels in Japanese. The Wonderswan Crystal is conveniently tiny, sexy looking, and will run forever on a single AA battery, but it performs [...]
