Talk about a busy guy. Tetsuya Nomura worked as main character designer on Final Fantasy XIII, director and designer for Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and ditto for Final Fantasy Versus XIII. We forgot Final Fantasy Agito XIII! He’s character designer for that, too. In the most recent issue of Famitsu, Nomura reveals that he…
Square Enix’s upcoming MMO Final Fantasy XIV features a character editor that can be described as robust — with emphasis on bust. The creator allows for a variety of skin tons, eye colors, lip colors, hair colors and styles, tattoos, facial scars as well as waist, hip and bust size. Of course, these sorts of…
In Japan (like in many places in the world!), there is a strong culture of selling back used games and hardware. Japan especially is quite good about keeping instruction manuals and boxes in pristine shape as many who purchase gaming goodies do so with intent to sell back in the future. For retailer TSUTAYA, the…
There are two versions of action game NieR: NieR Gestalt for the Xbox 360 and NieR Replicant for the PS3. But what’s the difference? While based on the same universe, the games will have different stories. Also, the in-game butts are not the same — after close inspection, they are slightly different! That’s AI-controlled partner…
In the wake of the Rapelay controversy, Japanese erotic games have come under intense scrutiny. The Ethics Organization of Computer Software in Japan banned the sale of games with forced sexual situations after an outcry in the Western press over Rapelay, a niche game released a few years back. Some game adult game developers have…
Hironobu Sakaguchi, creator of Final Fantasy and head of development studio Mistwalker, was planning to announce his new game this year. Those plans will have to wait. “I was planning to announce my new project within this year but it’s a little late,” Sakaguchi blogs. Sorry about that. I imagine announcement will be starting around…
Located on the second floor deck of the Akihabara UDX building in Tokyo, this is it, the Gundam Christmas tree. The 16-foot tree is decorated with over 60 Gundam models and strung with red, white and blue lights that twinkle pure awesome. Gundam Christmas Tree Akihabara UDX [Otaku2]
Back in early November, Kotaku posted the first Tekken movie sales art. It’s now late December, and time to post the movie’s Japanese poster. Funny how that works. No, not really. The movie is set in 2039, when fighters from around the world compete in the Iron Fist Tournament and centers around character Jin Kazama,…
Capcom’s Dark Void won’t just be appearing on the 360, PC and PS3; no, it’ll also be appearing on…the Nintendo DSi. In a marketing move for the main title, Capcom will be releasing Dark Void: Zero, an 8-bit interpretation of the game similar to the recent Mega Man 9 “demake”. It’ll hit the DSi Shop…
In the penultimate holiday season charts, there was only going to be one system dominating the top 40. And it’s not the Xbox 360. Not the PS3, either. No, it’s the Wii, which looks set to enjoy its fourth successive Christmas atop the British charts. Fourth. I mean, come on. Mario Kart in the top…
Kazunori Yamauchi, creator of the Gran Turismo series, has earlier this month completed a 25-hour endurance race at Thunder Hill Raceway, California. Yamauchi is of course no stranger to racing cars, but still. That’s quite an achievement. I get antsy driving for 25 minutes. He of course didn’t drive the entire 25 hours all by…
The latest issue of Wired has a great piece by Clive Thompson on the death of Duke Nukem Forever, and the development studio it took with it. There’s little real news in the piece – after all, the demise of both DNF and 3D Realms has been well-documented – but not everything has to be…

An employee at the GameStop store in Orange County, Florida, was shot earlier today during an armed robbery. Shortly after opening this morning an armed man entered the store, held the employee and a customer at gunpoint while waiting for a security timer on the store’s safe to expire, stole a Wii and several games…
I always like to think of the video game industry as being more like the car business than any other creative medium. There’s art, yes, and business, but also functionality to consider. Oh, and shows. Big, loud shows. Just like the automotive industry revels in glitzy trade shows and product reveals, so too do gaming…
Square Enix aren’t so preoccupied with the success of Final Fantasy XIII that they’ve forgotten about their other mega-bucks franchise, Dragon Quest IX, and how it’s also breaking sales records. In a statement issued yesterday by the company, it was revealed that sales of Dragon Quest IX on the DS have just pushed past the…
Just like the recent Star Trek movie had two Spocks in it, so too will the upcoming Star Trek MMO, with Zachary Quinto (new Spock) to be joined by Leonard Nimoy (old Spock). While Nimoy won’t be starring in the game, per se, he will be lending his voice to the intro, as well as…
I am daring to be excited by Transformers: War For Cybertron. Why? Because I love any Transformers not involving Michael Bay, and I especially love the War Within comic series. Which is kinda what this game is like! Though, sadly, not exactly like; as this artwork shows, cues have been taken from the fan-favourite prequel…
