Review: Theatrhythm Final Fantasy strikes a sweet chord

Part parody and part shrine, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is a must-buy for FF fans and a solid rhythm game for everyone else. Its gameplay is simple but challenging, unlockable content pours down in buckets, and — most importantly — it boasts the best soundtrack since Super Smash Brothers Brawl.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 not coming to the Wii U?

Nintendo has insisted that they will work with 3rd party developers to release key multi-platform games.  Unfortunately, it seems as though not all of the third party developers have jumped on board just yet.  Dave Cox, Head of product planning and development at Konami, has stated that Castlevania: Lord of Shadow 2 will not be coming to the Wii U…or will it. In an upcoming interview, Dave h...

New Smash Bros. focusing less on new characters, more on new features

Funny thing about the upcoming Smash Bros. title for Wii U and 3DS is that the game most likely hasn’t evolved much past the design stages seeing as how it was just recently announced that the game would be a collaboration between Nintendo and Bandai Namco, but early details about the game are starting to slowly trickle in. According to a recent interview with Nintendo Power, director Masahi...

Masahiro Sakurai just loves to tease Smash Bros. fans

Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai has decided to tease Smash Bros. fans with some whiteboard art that’s sure to be dissected meticulously. Sakurai-san Tweeted the above photo (which, surprisingly, has Kirby taking up 1/4 of the scene) with the following words, “This is what our staff drew on the white board. It’s good!” As mentioned, the whiteboard drawing is bound to be stud...

Namco Bandai: All Star Battle Teaser Site

Namco Bandai has published a teaser site for a new title called All Star Battle.  At first I assumed that this was Playstation’s All-Stars Battle Royale, however Namco Bandai is not the publisher.  The site teases us with a few obscure “real life” pictures, and simply states “3 Days” as though we will find out details on Thursday.    Many sites seem to think it will b...

3D Mario Chalk Art for Your Friday Viewing Pleasure

T.G.I.F!, this has been a long, hot week!  With Temps reaching the 100’s here in Northern Indiana, and a packed week at work, I am definitely ready for a relaxing weekend!

Circle Pad Pro Coming to a 3DS XL Near You!

When the 3DS was initially launched, a big complaint was the lack of the second circle pad.  Since most console controllers (Wii controller excluded) are shipped standard with two analogs, the circle pad on the 3DS is a move in the right direction.  The low profile design keeps the device compact while still allowing the ease of control that an analog does.  So why not include two? Our requests we...
