Just when you thought Nintendo was finished with surprises.

Everyone’s loving the Japanese version of TvC as it is, and people wondered if it would be worth it to get the US release. Short answer: yes. Why? Even though the US release has to drop out one TvC character (probably due to licensing), 5 new characters will be added, and there will be online play.

Same deal as the Nintendo one, refresh for updates. Stick around for at the moment updates and thoughts.

Metroid Prime 1, 2, 3 all on one disc, could you have asked for anything better? Read the rest of this entry »

Yep, I wet my pants too.

…

Confirmed in the latest Nintendo Power, this latest entry in the VS franchise is finally making its way out of Japan. Not much details are known yet but we’ll update as we learn more. Possible Character roster changes and/or Online Play(cross your fingers) are up in the air as of now.

I, myself, have already imported this gem but even a minute difference would cause me to double dip. Damn you Capcom for being awesome.

Just to let everyone know I am working on a site update to clean things up around here and prepare for this site to become active again.

If you haven’t heard of it, BlazBlue is a new 2d fighter from the makers of Guilty Gear currently in Japanese arcades (which has been imported to a few select US arcades, including one within walking distance of my place). The game is a really fun 2d fighter that breaths a nice fresh bit of air into the genre. IGN reported today that BlazBlue will be coming to the US this summer on the PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles.

Japan always gets those awesome Final Fantasy mobile cell phone games - FF7: Before Crisis, FF4: The After Years, etc. One of them is coming to the US on the Wii. The ESRB website revealed that FF4: The After Years will be coming to the US on the Wii with a E rating. It is unsure if it will be on Wii Ware or retail disc.

I’ve always had this idea of a Pro Remote that Nintendo could make for the Wii, but I suppose this will have to settle…

The Classic Controller Pro thickens the whole controller a bit, with enough room to add “standard” zL and zR buttons behind the L and R buttons. The cord comes out of the top of the controller, the analog sticks are also moved a tad further apart for comfortability, and some snazzy grips are added to the controller. The controller will be available in Japan this summer. No word on exact date or price.
