And not just Super Mario Bros., but the game’s retro arcade cabinet. The Hot Tub Time Machine trailer also features cussing, drinking, drug use, boobs and a guy in a bear suit. Not work safe. Click to view
The British Broadcasting Corporation is currently “courting” developers and publishers with the aim of turning a number of its key television series into video games. That means series like Doctor Who, Top Gear and creepy/popular kids show In the Night Garden are being shopped around, with the BBC looking to cover all bases, from Facebook…
First Clutch in a trailer, now Nick Oliveri-era Queens of the Stone Age…you certainly know the way to my heart, Electronic Arts. Or at least, the people making your cinematic trailers do.
During last fall’s Tokyo Game Show, Capcom producer Jun Takeuchi announced that Resident Evil: Alternative Edition would be using Sony’s new wand motion controller. That controller has been delayed until this fall. Here are the wand controls in action. When asked what that means for the PS3 version of Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition, Capcom…

Last summer, a giant 1/1 scale Gundam statue towered over Tokyo’s Odaiba. That statue will be erected this July in the city of Shizuoka. How will it affect the local economy? The city of Shizuoka guestimates that the statue is able to draw 900,000 visitors and 40 billion yen over the course of 300 days.…
You may remember the tangerine terror that was the Acer Predator. Well, that was the 2008 model. The 2010 model has now been revealed, and while it drops the “tangerine”, it certainly retains the “terror”. Dubbed the G7750-A64, I’m going to call it “Cylon #13” (or “Daniel The Toaster”) instead. It’s been upgraded with a…
Earlier this week, Japanese game magazine Famitsu released images of the upcoming bikinis in Tecmo’s Dead or Alive: Paradise. Those images were not very crisp. These are. And there’s dental floss and dental floss with pieces of cloth. Kotaku realizes that this is a PSP title and there are certain graphical limitations to the system,…
Tony Hawk: Ride was a mess. And that’s putting it kindly. That hasn’t stopped the skating legend from working with the game’s developers again, however, announcing today the roots of their “next project”. “Just met with @robomodo about our next project”, Hawk wrote on his Twitter account, “and it’s already much better than I expected”.…
Word on the street is that Electronic Arts is going to have a big presence when Apple gets around to unveiling its tablet computer next week. So let’s take a look at some of the games we’ll hopefully be seeing. While conjecture has settled on the device being little more than a giant iPhone, both…
This image just popped up on the Xbox Japan website. It clearly reads “Capcom x Microsoft,” which is often short hand for collaborating. Below that is a date: January 26, 2010. The image also notes, “Capcom Title Premiere for Xbox 360“. This could be an entirely new title (“premiere” carries that connotation, or it could…
Computer game Cross Days was originally announced for February 27, 2009. It is January 2010, and Cross Days is still not out. The story follows Yuuki Ashikaga, a freshman at Sakakino Academy who navigates high school infatuations. Back in 2008, it was announced that the visual novel would contain 3D animation. The February 27 release…

I’m not sure if this is sad or impressive – probably a bit of both – but New Super Mario Bros. Wii has, in a little over two months, already managed to outsell Nintendo’s last Mario game, Super Mario Galaxy. NPD figures reveal that while Galaxy has sold 4.1 million copies in North America since…
Street Fighter has traditionally been a 2D fighter. Capcom has traditionally been a 2D fighting game company. That is, until Street Fighter IV. In a break from the previous Capcom developed titles, Street Fighter IV introduced the venerable series to 2.5D. It’s somewhere in the middle — not exactly 2D and not exactly 3D. “The…
While Tiger Wood’s recent trouser issues led many – myself included – to predict an end to his relationship with Electronic Arts, the publisher is sticking with the beleaguered star. So too, EA claims, is the game-buying public. EA Sports boss Peter Moore told GameSpot earlier today that when it comes to sales of Tiger’s…
While the overall Game of the Year debates are the main draw this week, we’re also handing out some other awards. Like these, for the best PC games of 2009. Since no PC game was in with a shot at the big prize, I felt like honouring the best of them in here. And when…
The PlayStation Portable bookends this week’s Japanese hardware chart once again, with Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep helping the PSP snag first place but doing no favors for the languishing PSPgo. The UMD is winning the war against the digital download in Japan, with the PSP selling more than 71,000 units last week, the PSPgo…
