You Had One Job, And You Screwed Up ‘Naruto’

It’s “Naruto”. Not “Nartuo”. N-A-R-U-T-O. Naruto. This was noticed earlier this week by Rich at IGN, and as far as embarrassing box art misspellings go, “Nartuo” tops Resident Evil: Revelaitons Revelations.


eBay Seller Moves Over 200 Copies Of Ni No Kuni Special Edition

Many of the people who pre-ordered the special edition of Ni no Kuni from publisher Namco Bandai’s online store still haven’t received their copies. There seem to be all sorts of issues surrounding inventory and distribution of the new PS3 role-playing game. A lot of people are pissed off.

Inspired By The Matrix, This Live-Action Video Game Is Now… A Video Game

Call it going full circle. Back in 2004, a Japanese game show called Run for Money appeared on FujiTV. The show had flourishes of The Matrix and a central premise that seemed more like a video game than a game show. Now in 2012, Run for Money has finally been turned into a hit 3DS game. As logical as a video game version sounds, the concept wasn’t initially a no-brainer.

The First Two Hours Of Project X Zone Are Wall-To-Wall Insanity

This last week I picked up the Capcom/Namco-Bandai/Sega mega crossover Project X Zone. The game sports characters from Space Channel 5, Resident Evil, and Tales of Vesperia, just to name a few. But nothing, and I mean nothing, could have prepared me for the utter and complete insanity of this game.

Why I’m Sold On Wii U GamePad’s Multiplayer

While at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, I got my first hands on with the Wii U. Other Kotaku editors have used the Wii U plenty, but since I didn’t go to E3, this was my first.
