Remember around Christmas when Wal-Mart stores were filled with Wii and DS holiday merchandise? Well many of them still are, and that crap has to go. Now these bargains might not be available at every store - I've seen them at two now so far - but the chance to get a 2000 point Wii Points card bundled with a crappy classic controller sleeve for only $15 is worth looking into, especially with the recent launch of WiiWare.

In an interview with Gamasutra and Microsoft's Gamefest, iNiS co-founder Keiichi Yano confirms that there is a 360 game in the works.
However, when if there were Xbox 360 games that iNiS itself is in development on, Yano guardedly confirmed: "Yeah. We are currently working on a title. I can't really get into it more than, 'Yes, we're working on something!'" No further details on publisher or genre were available for the game.
Considering the most successful games iNiS has created have been rhythm games, I'm going to go ahead and put my money on another one of those, which would be simply peachy. More »

NoK is handling the translating duties, so it looks like the games will get proper releases. (Good news for Koreans traditionally neglected by Nintendo!) What is intriguing is the Elite Beat Agents release. Will it have Korean popstars like BoA or Rain or will it stick with the Sum 41 and the Ashlee Simpson? I sure hope not. For Korea's sake. More »

I know everyone is looking forward to the eventuality of Elite Beat Agents 2, but for me, I shall remain happy with it's Japanese counterpart. However, if they do make an EBA 2, I think everyone will agree: More Rolling Stones and less Cher. Flynn De Marco More »

I'm not talking symphonic soundtracks, but something with vocals, lyrics, and a beat that compliments the game I am playing. Take a game like The Way of the Warrior for the 3DO. An unambitious Mortal Kombat clone made playable solely because they used an entire White Zombie album as BGM. This year was great for game songs, and here's a list of my top five favorites to prove it. More »

No. This is the story of a man with a bad temper and facial hair. A man who isn't very good at video games, but quite skilled at destroying things. This is the story of some guy who got so incredibly pissed off at Elite Beat Agents that he broke his DS, stabbed the screen multiple times with a screwdriver then snapped the game in half—blaming the whole thing on Nintendo. After the jump, the well-adjusted gentleman's forum post describing what happened: More »

Mmmmm... Thanksgiving. This will be the first time in a long time that I don't get to see my family on the fourth Thursday of November and the first in years that doesn't devolve from family togetherness into a Mario Party or Karaoke Revolution gatherround cut short by a tryptophan coma. Instead, I'll be hanging with the Tofurkey set, enjoying a half-dozen or so adult beverages, playing ultra-violent games like Gears of War or spending some alone time with Elite Beat Agents. More »

Demos are available for download at retailers across the US. I've played both Elite Beat Agents and Club House Games here in Japan, and a good time was had by all. Brian Ashcraft More »
