PSP picture game Photo Kano is getting a PS Vita version and a TV anime, says Famitsu
People’s Daily is China’s newspaper of record. It’s the paper of the Chinese Communist Party—a mouthpiece of the government. And today, it figured out that The Onion is not America’s newspaper of record. If you’ve been on the internet since forever, you know that The Onion is a humor site that satirizes the news. People’s…
“Iwata Asks” is a regular online feature in which Nintendo president Satoru Iwata interviews developers. Some of the game creators are in-house and some work for outside companies. All of their games appear on Nintendo hardware. None of them feature hardcore pornography. Instead of “Iwata Asks”, Osaka-based erotic PC game company SoftPal launched a “Shacho…
While it’s yet to be officially announced by Nintendo, Canada’s Best Buy website has revealed the Wii Mini, a smaller, sleeker version of Nintendo’s console. There’s no price information yet (or larger image), but it’ll be out on December 7, and appears to boast a square form factor, a black & red colour scheme and…
Bet he’s dealing with Mothula in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. I can see it on his angry, tortured face. (We’ve all been there!) This is Link’s “Angry Face” from Figma’s new Skyward Sword figurine (read the Kotaku review). Please, let’s make Angry Face Link a meme. Surely, there are more…
Just a friendly reminder! In Japan, Nintendo said its TVii streaming service hits December 8.
The long pauses. The nervous gestures. They’re not quite sure what to say, and thus, neither are you. Sometimes when foreigners interact with Japanese people, things can get awkward. Very, very awkward. Good thing there’s anime to remind us how awkward! Japan is around 98.5 percent Japanese. Within that, there are small groups of are…
With Nintendo TVii, the Kyoto-based game maker is bringing streaming video to the GamePad. Starting on December 8 in Japan, gamers can watch the pictures as they fly through the air via the comfort of the Wii U GamePad. But if you want easy channel changing, you must barf up extra cash. On December 8,…
I’m still coming down from the experience that was The Walking Dead. Without getting into spoiler territory, that was… quite the ending. To help cope, I’ve been talking to other people about their experiences, many of which seem to be similar to my own. And then Kirk goes and shows me The Walking Dead Game…
Random House Publishing and Fantasy Flight Games have teamed up to release A World of Ice and Fire, a stunning guide to the people and places of Westeros. While it’s free to download, you’re only given a limited selection of content; to unlock the full range of entries, you’re going to have to pay. But…
It feels like an age ago, and in gaming terms I guess it was. The launch of PlayStation Home, one of the cornerstones of the PS3’s launch era, was meant to usher in a new kind of online interaction. A place where the connectivity of Xbox Live could be turned into a virtual world, blurring…
These two charts turned up today, reportedly from a “recently scraped database of 24,000 videogames to determine percentages of genre and platform releases since 1975”. My inner stats nerd just fainted. Charts like this can tell you a lot about games and the changing way we enjoy them, and even allowing for the fact it…
It might not be the most extensive of Skyrim mods, but it’s certainly one of the most eye-catching. If, that is, you can bend your mind around to the fiction of the Star Wars and Elder Scrolls universes co-existing… If you want to try it out, maybe add it to your need-to-install-these-mods list, you can…
Disney’s Wreck-it-Ralph is, in some ways, the best video game movie ever made. It doesn’t do as much with the whole video games thing as it could have, but still, great movie. One of the things it did really well was parody/pay homage to famous video game series and clichés without (usually) having to directly…
If you’re lucky, or brave, your gamertag (or other similar account name) might be, well, your name. A few of my friends are like that. Chances are, though, you picked a fake handle and went with that instead. That name might be insightful. Or clever. Or funny. Or, more likely, indecipherable and a little stupid.…
The video for Hot Chip’s Don’t Deny Your Heart starts out as a homage to FIFA, and the obsessive way many people play the game on the road. Then things pick up a little, and suddenly it becomes a homage to FIFA’s other key appeal: mouth kissing and loving embraces Hot Chip – Don’t Deny…
Over Thanksgiving weekend, I rewatched The Lord of the Rings. It was partly because The Hobbit is almost upon us, and partly because I was in mourning having finished Persona 4 Golden and needed something to take my mind off missing Inaba. After taking to Twitter (as you do), I learned that I wasn’t the…
We chatted with film director Guillermo del Toro at the New York Comic-Con earlier this year, and he told us one of his dream jobs would be to make a movie with Valve. Turns out the feeling’s mutual. In an interview with New Rising Media, Valve writer Marc Laidlaw outlined three directors who, for varying…
British retailer Game may not get that this is the same exact Mass Effect 3. Via Twitter
Among the many things I like about the wonderful Far Cry 3, one of the most remarkable is how polished it all is. This is an ambitious, massive game, so it’s all the more noteworthy that everything works so well. Ubisoft Montreal has nailed all the big stuff, sure—combat is punchy and fluid, guns feel…
