Nintendo unveiled its latest party game, Game & Wario. Like other Game & Wario games, it only needs one controller. Five players can play, but four of them don’t need controllers. At all. Just good eyes. The mini-game is called “Fruits”. In it, the player with the GamePad is a thief, and picks up the…
Coming in early 2013, Game & Wario is the latest entry in Nintendo’s series of Wario party games. Outfitted with 16 games, Game & Wario can support up to five players and needs only one GamePad. Nintendo Direct 2012.12.5 [Ustream]
For years, anime fans have been complaining about crap dubs. It’s either the result of amateurs or celebrities who simply don’t fit the role. Now it’s Japan’s turn to nerd rage. “It’s just as everyone says, the dubbing is horrid,” wrote one individual on Amazon Japan. The Avengers didn’t exactly have a smooth rollout in…
Sales figures are typically pretty boring! Except for when, they’re interesting. And by interesting, I mean telling. Recently, Sony held the PlayStation Awards in Japan. This is a publicity stunt—and usually a dull one at that—in which Sony gives awards to those domestic studios which sell a certain number of units, such as over a…
The 3DS got a firmware update to improve “overall system stability”, plus minor adjustments to improve the experience.
A Japanese model builder showed off this set of 1/35 scale cats on FG Site. If you build models in that scale, you might be familiar with 1/35 animals that can populate, for example, World War II backdrops, etc. Made from metal, these were sculpted by a pro model maker named Solo and do a…
Last month and this month, Nintendo is busy launching the Wii U. And next month? It’s busy not releasing games in Japan. The company’s January schedule, which was recently updated on December 3, is shockingly empty. Here, have a look for yourself: Yikes! That’s pretty freakin’ dry! At the very, very bottom, there’s one Wii…
It doesn’t matter if you saw the original Star Wars movies when they first hit theaters or caught them much later. Star Wars has been capturing the minds of folks for generations, thanks in big part to memorable characters like Princess Leia. Tough, no nonsense Leia is iconic. And so are the outfits she’s donned,…
Every day, I look at the Transformers on my toy shelf, and I think two things. First, I’m glad to be in possession of so many amazing toys. Secondly, I’m glad many of them are just sitting there, and don’t actually have to be transformed. Because transforming some of these things can be murder This…
I don’t know how they got this cat to sit still long enough to get the costume on, let alone how many scratches and hisses they took as a result, but it doesn’t matter. For their heroics, we get to see a cat dressed as…a catbus My Cat is a Bus [sweet ipomoea, via neatorama]
A.J. Trahan is an artist we’ve featured here before, at least partially, for his work on Epic Mickey. But the stuff we’re going to look at today is a little grander in scale. Trahan was one of the 117,342 artists who worked on Halo 4, but in addition to his contributions to Microsoft’s latest blockbuster,…
Taking the fragile wooden medium of many of the series’ crappy first shields and mixing it with the design of later, badass Hylian shields, Brazilian craftsman Paulo Vinícius D. Horstma has made this beautiful piece of replica Zelda gear. I don’t use the term “craftsman” lightly; Horstma has done some incredible work here, with many…
Corvo, the star of Dishonored, is a deft man with a blade. He can leap, and sneak, like a cat. Dude even has magic powers. You’d think, then, he could do anything and everything, but no. This clip, showing him trying to pour a pint, is heart-breaking. Won’t someone just pour it for him? Corvo…
So Nintendo is here to help. Perhaps wanting to get out in front of holiday season returns, when Little Johnny furiously explains he wanted a 3DS and not a DS (or your grandmother buys you a game that won’t work in your system), Nintendo has—hastily, judging by the sound quality—put together this instructional video outlining…
Collecting nearly 2000 Star Wars action figures the hard way would have taken thousands of dollars and decades of work. The easy way is to let someone else do it, then buy their collection straight off them. If that’s more your style, the Star Wars museum at Rancho Obi-Wan are auctioning off a lot of…
While it seemed unlikely, there was always the chance, however remote, that a battle of patents between Microsoft and Motorola could have seen the Xbox 360 taken off store shelves. A US judge, however, has ruled that this won’t be happening. The two companies have been fighting for years, with Motorola saying the Xbox 360…
It’s fun enough to walk down the street, but you know what’s probably more fun? Walking down the street in a huge animatronic T-Rex costume, as demonstrated in this video from Roman Atwood Aw, look at the doggies run. This looks to be the same costume we caught at New York Comic-Con, made by KHA…
Proving that professional gamers can be no different to the casual players of the same game, League of Legends pro Christian Rivera has been banned from the game for “persistent toxic behavior”. While the game’s Tribunal recognises that “the decision to impact someone’s career is not one we make lightly”, they’ve been left with little…
Perhaps it’s not surprising, but what this video from The Clan of the Grey Wolf reveals is that much of the tech behind the Wii U’s GamePad is stuff you may already be familiar with—only used in a clever, innovative way. As the video points out at the start, this seems to be a thing…
