Nintendoji Is Cute, Quirky, Dungeon-Crawling Fun

Earlier this week, we took a brief look at Nintendoji, a Nintendo title only available to gold or platinum members of the Japanese Club Nintendo. And because of its very limited release, both Japanese and Westerners are unlikely to be able to ever play it — which is a real shame as it is a fun, cute and more than a bit of an addictive game.


Here’s What’s Bothering Me About Batman: Arkham Origins

I watched the trailer for the upcoming Batman game that got released earlier this week and immediately had one inescapable thought: you can’t tell it’s a prequel. That’s not a good thing.


Watch Donkey Kong Scare The Crap Out Of Children

To celebrate the release of Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Nintendo spent a lovely afternoon scaring the crap out of children. The video (above) is quite fun.


Here Are 10 Games Japanese Players Recommend

2013 is approaching the halfway point and this year, we’ve already seen several heavy-hitting game releases. Often, it’s difficult to choose a single game to buy out of several when you have a limited budget. The biggest and most influential factor in making a choice is usually other players’ opinions.


Nintendo Made A New Dungeon Crawler. This Is It.

Early last month, Nintendo released a download game on the Japanese 3DS eShop. However, as it was only given out free to Gold and Platinum Nintendo Club members, the chances are high you’ll never get to even see it — much less play it.


Tomodachi Collection Is One Odd Little Game

I spent this past week playing what is currently the best-selling game in the world: the Japan only 3DS game Tomodachi Collection: New Life. After scouring the internet for Miis to populate the game, I spent my first three hours with the game in a state of nostalgic, yet amused, bafflement. My extra hours with the game have done little to change my original opinion: it is a crazy random game designed from the bottom up to take as much of your time as possible.


I Don’t Remember Virtue’s Last Reward Being About Breast Slapping

Sometimes prior to a game’s release, companies create a flash game tie-in and post it on the game’s official webpage. Earlier this week for example, Capcom released an Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies demo that is playable in your web browser. And before Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy was released in Japan, Square Enix released Social Theatrhythm, a social game where you pretty much do nothing — other than spread word of the game through social media.


Next Ace Attorney Game To Feature Miles Edgeworth And Trucy Wright

The characters Miles Edgeworth and Trucy Wright will be appearing in the upcoming Ace Attorney game, Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies, as apparently noted in a leaked Japanese magazine article.


The Quest To Find More Miis

I’ve never really cared too much about Miis. I never even made one for my Wii or 3DS — hell, I’ve never even opened Street Pass. The only reason I made a Mii for my Wii U was because it was part of making an online account.


Classic 1994 Platformer Putty Squad Is Getting A Modern Remake
