There will be a 2010 release of Konami’s venerable football series Pro Evolution Soccer. It will be called Pro Evolution Soccer 2011. If you need a moment to compose yourself, now is the time. New features promised are a new animation system, new AI, new commentary (FINALLY) and, most promising, an online Master League. In…
Oh boy. Remember those professional Mega Man renders we showed you last month? Turns out there are more of them. The first batch were by pro artist David Espinoza, but it turns out his friend Yoshi Vu has been working on some as well (the pair were hammered playing Mega Man 2 when they came…
Like movies, the design of games can often be reduced to a set of “building blocks”, various elements that you can combine to form the final product. It’s an abstract concept, but one that’s perfectly illustrated in this…card game. Put together by Christophe Berg, Niki Smit & Liselore Goedhart, “Game Seeds” is part of the…
You know, why not. That’s what ears are for. As previously posted, idol group AKB48 is singing the ending theme for anime series Dragon Ball Kai. AKB48 has, depending on many members have joined or left, around 48 members. Seven members from the Akihabara-based idol outfit will make up a new sub-group called “Team Dragon”…
These days the majority of multi-platform games look about the same. Not No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise. No More Heroes was originally released on the Wii, but No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise is an HD port of the game. Heroes’ Paradise was released on the Xbox 360 and the PS3 last month. How are these…
Bring a Nintendo DS! As seen by me.
These folks are cosplaying booth companions. While booth companions at most trade shows are decked out in skimpy clothes with a corporate logo, geek event Dream Party is a little different. Tokyo Party is a gathering of console game developers, retailers and fans. Some, but not all, of the game developers (take UNiSONSHIFT, Navel and…
No, no it’s not. The years-in-the-making Gran Turismo 5 was originally supposed to be released this March in Japan. It is now May. The game is not out. It was delayed this past January and given a new release date: “To be announced”. Last September, it was revealed that Gran Turismo 5 was then currently…
A state minister from Victoria, Australia has been publicly rebuked after personally campaigning – in parliament – for one of his constituents to be given a Wii. Gordon Rich-Phillips, a member of the Liberal Party and Victoria’s Assistant Opposition Treasurer, got up in parliament and asked that Victoria’s WorkCover Authority (ie the worker’s comp guys)…
Jack Friedman, the founder of publisher THQ – the guys behind UFC, Dawn of War & Company Of Heroes – passed away yesterday at the age of 70. Friedman had been involved in the game business for decades, first by forming toy company (and later video game publisher) LJN in 1970, and then by founding…
Proving that owners of Nintendo’s current home console are perfectly happy with “Wii Definition” visuals, it’s been disclosed today that “almost” one million Wii users have “participated” in the Wii’s Netflix streaming service since its launch last month. That figure comes directly from Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aime, and while “participated” is a vague,…
Released in Japan, that is. One Japanese man has amassed a collection of all the Xbox 360 games released in The Land of the Rising Sun. This individual claims he has run out of shelf space. And for good measure, he also has all the original Xbox games, too. If you are ever wondering what…
Computing giant IBM will later today unveil CityOne, which is basically SimCity, except IBM made it instead of EA, and the focus is on sustainable cities instead of rampaging UFOs and reticulated splines. I like where this is going. It’s a 21st century SimCity, substituting worries over train stations and airports with more modern concerns…
Osaka-based game developer Capcom is known for…developing games. The company’s boss now has a side business, though. Let’s drink to that. No, literally. Last weekend, Capcom CEO Kenzo Tsujimoto opened a new US$100 million winery in Napa, California that boasts two fermenting rooms and a cave to age barrels of wine. As Kotaku previously pointed…
During the Free Comic Book Day festivities last week, one man in Adelaide, Australia attempted to make off with a pricey old X-Men book. Lucky Spider-Man was on the scene! Adelaide Comic Centre was the scene of this superhero showdown, when on the weekend owner Michael Baulderstone noticed a suspicious looking character at the back…

Look what turned up at my house this morning: the large, beautiful art book for Sega’s PS3 strategy game Valkyria Chronicles. It’s a Japan-only book, and a little pricey, so for those fans of the game – and its memorable art style – who aren’t in possession of the thing, I figured I’d share some…
Iron Man was cool. I like to think it was the world’s first rock n’ roll superhero movie, one so confident in its performances and style that it could afford a little swagger. Iron Man 2 does not swagger. No, from the outset, it’s an entirely different beast. There are flashes of bravado, but gone…
Hideo Kojima’s next major Metal Gear game is coming to the PSP this summer. According to one report, it sounds like Konami might interested in bringing that game to the PlayStation 3 as well. Gamepro writes of a recent Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker event at which Konami reps were gauging interest in a PlayStation…
