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.
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.
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 Takes A Step Forward And Another One Back
When One Piece: Pirate Warriors was released on the PS3, I found myself playing it and enjoying it — despite having next to no knowledge about the source material. In other words, going in, I had never seen so much as an episode of One Piece — though I seem to remember having seen one of the movies on a date once.
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix Makes Kingdom Hearts Look Better And Play Better Than Ever Before
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix is the newest in a long line of last-generation titles being remastered for the current generation of HD consoles. Like many of these remasters, Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix is a collection of several games — in this case, Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories.
Macross 30 Is The Best Macross Game Ever Made
The last six years have been a great time to be a Macross gamer. There have been three full PSP titles and an additional three short PS3 games as Blu-ray extras as well. Now, thanks to the success of these six games comes the franchise’s first full PS3 game, Macross 30.
Phantasy Star Online 2 For The Vita Is As Good As The PC Version
Back before the release of Phantasy Star Online 2 on the PC, one of its main selling points was that it would eventually be released on the PlayStation Vita as well. Now, nearly a year after the game’s PC launch, this has finally come to pass. And while the Vita version of the game remains largely identical, it is the little changes that make it enjoyable on Sony’s pint-sized system.
Joysound Dive Turns PS3s Into 90,000-Song Karaoke Machines
There are more than a few Karaoke video games out there, from Karaoke Revolution to SingStar to Lips. Each of these games come with dozens of songs per disk — and some allow for more songs to be purchased as DLC. But Joysound Dive goes a step beyond these and quite literally takes the Japanese Karaoke experience right to your living room with 90,000 songs for you to sing at your pleasure.
Run For Money Evokes Memories Of Pac-Man And Mario Kart
Run for Money Toshochu: Escape the Greatest Hunters in History is one of the most popular 3DS games released in Japan in 2012. Just like the popular Japanese game show it’s based on, Run for Money pits players against Matrix-like agents (called “hunters”) in an over-the-top game of tag.
