On this table are 21 handhelds, including the Vita, PSP and just about every flavour of Game Boy, DS and 3DS there is/was. The test, conducted by Andy Robertson at Family Gamer TV, is simple. Start them running, and see which one runs the longest. It’s not entirely scientific, as it’s slightly unfair to compare…
Announced last year, Professor Layton VS Ace Attorney is a Level-5 and Capcom crossover between the two logic-based series. Kotaku was on-hand today at the Tokyo Game Show to try the first playable demo of this highly anticipated game. The demo was actually split into two parts, one following Phoenix Wright and the other following…
While it’s not quite as nice as that Rivendell diorama from last month, this giant, custom-built LEGO Hobbiton set is still worth downing a few frothy pints over. Depicting the setting up before Bilbo’s big birthday bash, the real highlight is Bag End, whose roof can come off to reveal a meticulously detailed interior, full…
A demo of Capcom’s Monster Hunter 4 on the 3DS was up for play at the Tokyo Game Show, and here’s how the 15-minute gameplay was. They provided me with 3 different quests with a ranging difficulty of easy, medium and hard, and a premade set of armor for each of the special weapons in-game.…
For those who like their gaming media and news a little less Japanese in origins today, here. A new trailer for Halo 4, showing off all the guns and weaponry that the Covenant – who you’re still fighting, in some small way – are packing in the game.
We knew the peripheral was coming to Nintendo’s new handheld, but until today we hadn’t seen what it looked like. Now we have. Yup. Still hideous. Pricing and release date are TBA. Accessories [Nintendo, via Go Nintendo]
Today at the Tokyo Game Show Kotaku was able to experience 15 minutes of tense courtroom drama with the first playable demo of Ace Attorney 5 In the demo, Phoenix finds himself defending a young girl accused of bombing a courtroom with a bomb hidden in a stuffed animal. Also involved is the younger brother…
Unity CEO David Helgason has revealed that his company, whose light-weight engine is becoming increasingly popular in both the mobile and PC gaming worlds, has been licensed by Nintendo for use with the upcoming Wii U. The engine is being optimised for Nintendo’s latest console, and while it’s become surprisingly powerful in recent times (see…
Fresh from the TGS showroom floor, here’s some gameplay footage of upcoming 3DS title Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney Apologies for the noise, but, you know, this place gets busy
Level-5 tells Kotaku that none of its TGS games are confirmed for a Western release.
Professor Layton’s adventures are coming to an end, apparently. And they announce that fact proudly in the demo for Professor Layton and the Legacy of The Advanced Civilization A (レイトン教授と超文明Aの遺産). The story features the dandy English gentleman and his two assistants, Luke and Emmy on an adventure to solve the mystery of the “Living Mummy.”…
On display at the XOXO Indie Arcade event in Portland, this Minecraft project has only two blocks. But they’re real, you can touch them, and if you use the included hammers, you can smash them and they react in much the same way they do in the actual game. If you’re wondering how creator Ben…
The HDR photography might make them look a little too much like action figures, but that’s a niggle. Everything else about these two, from the photography to the “acting” to the outfits, is just about perfect. The Dutch pair, dressed as Connor and Aveline (from the Vita’s Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation) respectively, were so impressive…
Namco’s Tekken series is making the leap to the Wii U. The fighting game favorite is one of the first big games slotted for the console. But does it pack enough punch on the Wii U? To cater to Wii U players, Nintendo and Namco have tailed the Wii U edition with loads of platform…
The last twelve months have seen an outbreak of Kickstarter fever. Old devs, new devs, indie devs, everyone with an idea and some concept art has been scrambling to the service in an attempt to get their dream game made. Part of the appeal for both backers and developers is that, in theory, it removes…
If you’re a Guild Wars 2 player and have ever complained about a sore wrist, or tired eyes, here’s something that might put your issues in perspective. Keith “Aieron” Knight was born with Amyoplasia Arthrogryposis, which basically means he can barely move his body. At all. Yet he still takes on other GW2 players, and…
If I had to pick the kind of music that the new, younger Dante would listen to in Ninja Theory’s Devil May Cry reboot, it would… yeah, it would be pretty much this. Wonder what happens in the game to make him grow up to look like a guy who listens to Joy Division and…
About six weeks ago, I wrote an article about how I’d gotten really into playing games while standing up. It sparked all manner of interesting conversation, and I think that I convinced a few people to give standing a shot. Given that I’ve been standing up while working (and playing) for two months now, I…
You know, as nice as it’ll be having this in “HD”, the more I think about it, the more I don’t understand why this isn’t a Vita game. Because of the brushes, man. The brushes
Bombastic cinematic sequences mixed with a few too many shots of characters running awkwardly through empty fields…this can only be a trailer for the once-fundamentally-broken Final Fantasy XIV
