A good day to fry hard

Mama knows you're just being modest when you push your 3DS away and say you're full. She whipped up another helping of culinary cuteness with Cooking Mama 5: Bon Apétit, and North American players can go up for fifths this 16th September. Majesco Entertainment dropped the release date today. Their updated press release...

Representatives from Sega and Nintendo were in attendance

While Nintendo and Sega are now often partners, with exclusive Sonic games on big N systems, in particular, gamers of a certain age or with some awareness of gaming history will know very well that things used to be very different. During the late '80s and '90s the two companies were the core...

A pricey treat

When it comes to premium collectible Nintendo-themed statues, First 4 Figures has often provided some of the most memorable releases. Its latest product is sure to excite Samus fans, as it's opened pre-orders for the Master Arts Metroid Prime 2 Light Suit. This is from the excellent Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, of course, and will come...

Straight out the toy box

This summer, it could be argued that the demand for a non-realistic racing game on Wii U has well and truly been met, and another kart-style title is perhaps at the bottom of our wish list as a result. However, standing tall in the face of its moustachioed overlords, Eclipse Games has treated the eShop to an extra slice of...

Paczilla is a thing

Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 is proof that, despite the fact it may not have been on most radars or enjoyed glowing reviews, the first entry in the game series was a reasonable success. Its role accompanying the CG animated TV show doesn't do it any harm, either. Bandai Namco has now pinned down the sequel's release...

Magnolia Architecture

After receiving critical acclaim and over one million units sold, Bravely Default set a solid benchmark for JRPGs on 3DS. It’s safe to say that its sequel, Bravely Second, has a tremendous amount to live up to. To please its fans and keep them salivating, Square Enix has revealed information r

Definitely not another Persona, may be "not broccoli"

Late 2014 and early 2015 look to be all about Persona titles at Atlus with Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, Persona 4: Dancing All Night, and Persona 4: Aerna Ultimax set to release for various platforms in the coming months. However, in an interview with Famitsu Atlus CEO Naoto Hiraoka and...

Keen to bring it to Wii U

Two Tribes is a download developer best known for its Toki Tori releases, but has also published and ported a wide range of titles to Nintendo hardware, with notable recent examples being the Two Tribes Classics range on the Wii U. After financial problems the company had to reboot and shut down its development business,...

A different sort of fuel crisis

You’ll most likely know the Germany-based Black Forest Games for its excellent Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams on the Wii U eShop, but in the run up to its new project — DieselStormers — the developer has come under fire for choosing that particular title. Italian clothing company DIESEL has filed legal...

Set your alarm clocks to HYPE

In the same manner as last week, Niconico will be streaming a live presentation with more details on the Zelda spin-off Hyrule Warriors this Thursday. The tweet shown below, from the game’s official account, details the announcement. Two of Nintendo's Zelda veterans, Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma, will both be...

Tails would NEVER eat Sonic, you fiends

Video games aren't reality. We know that. But sometimes the glaring inaccuracies present in our favourite titles can really hurt when they're highlighted in an effective fashion, which is exactly what Fox's Animation Domination High-Def show does in the latest episode of Scientifically Accurate, which seeks to...

Hyperbole ahoy!

Not so long ago, we reported on the news that film director Zak Penn had successfully unearthed the now-legendary Atari 2600 E.T. cartridges which were buried in the New Mexico desert back in the '80s. Penn has produced a documentary regarding the game, its development, how it sank the games industry and its subsequent rediscovery,...

Flips between Sticker Star and The Thousand-Year Door

With its release approaching quickly, we can expect more Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS news in the coming days and weeks. Masahiro Sakurai has taken the opportunity to share another new stage on the Miiverse Director's Community, and it could be a popular option on the portable. It's...

Officially licensed, so don't sweat it

Before E3 this year, third-party accessory company PDP announced a GameCube-styled Wired Fight Pad that functions as a Wii Classic Controller (plugging into a Wii Remote), making it compatible with games on the last-gen system as well as some on the Wii U — it was clearly being produced with Super Smash Bros...

Is the big N missing the boat?

Earlier this year China formalised its plans to allow dedicated game consoles to be manufactured and sold in the country, opening the door for conventional systems in a marketplace that had previously consisted of black market goods and legal plug-and-play workarounds; Nintendo has successfully utilised the latter with...

Included in the E3 listing

E3 was particularly busy for Nintendo, as the company revealed a number of games for the first time for Wii U — in particular — and 3DS. One that slipped us by was Lone Survivor, which is coming to the Wii U eShop in Q4. In the madness of the event we missed this one in a downloadable release list — it didn't appear...

Burt Ward else matters?

In true LEGO style, the lightheartedness of LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham has been pushed further yet with an increased character roster and — most importantly — with Adam West joining the cast of well-known stars who will be lending their voices to the game. Veterans of the series will be getting a bit of old-school love...
