Capcom Directing Arcades at Women and Families

Location, location, location. Capcom President Haruhiro Tsujimoto said that this financial year the company was going to close three Japanese arcades and open eight more in areas that would attract more women and families, instead of the traditional male demographic. Tsujimoto added:

It's all about the location.

While over half of Capcom's business is consoled based, increased arcade earnings could send profitibility to a seven year high. If Capcom is really seriously about attracting a more casual gaming audience, they should put all their coin operated games on DSes, Wiis and Pokémon cards. They sure have helped Nintendo!

Screw Attack's Top Ten Ninjas

I don't think any of the Ninja in Screw Attack's Top Ten Ninja(s) actually deserve to be on the list. Sure, they're all good at doing whatever it is that they do, but come on, top ninja? You can see them! Top be a top ninja you have to start your training early, slipping out of your mother's womb in the dead of night to avoid being detected by the doctor's special "look at the baby in your tummy" device. Amateurs.

Clip: 10 Worst Fighting Games

Well, it was bound to happen. Back in the day, there used to be two fighting games for every boy, making the ratio of sucky ones to good ones quite high. Screw Attack's Top 10 Worst Fighting Games covers them all including ones I've tried long and hard to forget. Thanks for bringing back the memories, guys.

Screw Attack's Best and Worst Gaming Peripherals

Screw Attack's Handsome Tom and Stuttering Craig, the kings of the top ten list, are back with a look at the best and worst gaming periopherals. The list is split in two this time with the first half devoted to the worst and the second half, the five best. Entries in to the worst category include Rob the Robot and the Power glove while the best list is filled with such goodies as the Guitar Hero controller and that highly suspicious, girl friendly peripheral, the Trance Vibrator.

Clip: Ten Games That Fell Off

While I doubt that anyone will become misty-eyed at remembering Bubsy the Bobcat, I do kind of lament the death of Ecco the Dolphin. What's makes Ecco's franchise demise sadder is developer Appaloosa's follow up, the godawful Jaws Unleashed. More »

Screw Attack's Top Ten "Super" Games

Just because a game has "Super" in the title doesn't make it a super game. Screw Attack's handsome Tom and Stuttering Craig examine this phenomenon in their latest video, Top 10 "Super" Games. As they point out, the Super Nintendo was extremely fond of adding "super" into the title of a lot of their games. The list is rather staggering actually and I'm impressed the boys were able to narrow it down to just ten. Hopefully, they will follow this one up with a "Top 10 Worst Super Games" list. As much as I love watching clips from great games, I get much more satisfaction out of laughing and pointing at them.

Angry Nintendo Nerd's Best Moments Of 2006

Over the last year, The Angry Nintendo Nerd has made us laugh, made us cry and probably offended even the most foul mouthed backwater sailor. Love him or hate him, you have to admire his ability to come out with a seemingly endless stream of expletives without missing a beat. More »

Angry Nintendo Nerd Salutes The Wii With Console Puppet Show

Everyone's favorite foul mouthed gamer, The Angry Nintendo Nerd, gives us his colorful interpretation of the early console wars in his latest video offering. His innovative puppeteering methods are really the hilight of the show and I think he must have trained with Jim Henson. He takes us from the Atari 2600 all the way to Nintendo 64 giving each system it's own distinct personality. Kermit the Frog, eat your heart out. More »

Video Games Awesome.

If I understand correctly the endless phonemical repetitions spraying with spittle from his rubber-lipped word hole, Stuttering Craig over at Screw Attack wants me to call your attention to their newest series, Awesome Video Games. And I will, fully admitting my own lack of tolerance for doofuses — no matter how ironically portrayed — screaming in close-up into the camera for five minutes straight about the amazing megahertzal might of the NES.

Madden 07 In The (Ware)House!

At first glance, I mistook these pics for shots of something John Madden was having delivered to his warehouse. Were these thousands upon thousands of aerosol cans of itch relieving Tinactin? Tons and tons of savory Lunchables for John to snack upon while travelling on the Madden Bus? The shipment of crisp twenty dollar bills to pay off the exclusive NFL license? More »
