Being a North American gamer was once such a hassle. Before western game developers became so prominent in the console space, most of the games available on home consoles came from Japanese development houses which ment long delays between a Japanese and a Western game release. Just look at Final Fantasy VII. The Japan to North American release window was a good 8 months, and that’s for one of the...
I think we can all agree that we love the NES, but at the ripe age of 27 it isn’t getting any younger. Every time we blow in the cartridge and anxiously insert it into the system it could be the final time that we show the console some love. The build up of dust, stray bug pieces and other unknown substances can wreak havoc on the inner system. Not to mention the constant opening and clos...

We have all experienced it. The fit of unbridled rage when we reach a near impossible area of a game. No matter how hard we try we just cannot get past the one miniscule little part of a game. The part that I had the most trouble with was the small jump in the sewer in TMNT. I don’t even have to explain further for those of you that had the same frustration as me. I guess today it is cal...
If there was one thing that I thought would never happen, it would have been the Ace Attorney movie getting an English adaptation. Color me surprised when this morning I opened my inbox to find a press release stating exactly the opposite. Now all I need to do is find out where I can purchase some Phoenix Wright cosplay so I can do the movie premiere right! Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem as ...

Another issue is that, let’s face it, Super Mario Bros and Pac-Man were not meant for a touch screen. I was looking for a wireless controller alternativ...

While Nintendo fans have been mostly left out of the Kingdom Hearts fun, Square-Enix is in the process of changing that fact with Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream, Drop, Distance.
