Well, you could be! Maybe not, though, but you might as well try.

Nintendo’s decision to slash the 3DS’s price tag was sudden and desperate. Who cares, because from the sound of it, Japanese gamers are becoming keen. According to The Mainichi Newspaper, when the price was dropped, online reservations at Japanese retailer Bic Camera spiked. “It’s going better than we thought,” a Bic Camera spokesperson told the…
Figures often have extra hands or arms for collectors to switch out for new poses. Sometimes figures have extra hair, and alternate hairdos are exciting! Take this statue of Rinko Kobayakawa from Konami’s hit love simulator Love Plus. She comes with two different hairstyles—one is her default ‘do, and the other one, the clumpy bangs,…
The HD versions of PS2 classics Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are almost upon us. If you can’t wait, though, here’s what the first few minutes of each look like running on a PS3. And if that’s not enough, here are montages from both games, featuring even more footage, all courtesy of IGN Watch…
First spotted at Comic-Con, we now have the first official shots of Square Enix’s line of upcoming Street Fighter figures. As with many other figures in the company’s “Play Arts” line, there’s a stylised edge to the World Warriors, which in Ryu’s case means basketball biceps and in Chun-Li’s case means giant man thighs (yes!)…
The world really doesn’t. But Capcom didn’t ask the world. It looked at the Japanese sales for its wildly popular Monster Hunter games and crapped out this camera. It may sound like I hate this 3 megapixel camera. I don’t! It so ridiculous that I cannot help but like it. The camera features a Felyne,…
As can happen on a service that’s normally home to so much shovelware and so many bite-sized games, it’s easy to lose sight of the hidden gems that surface on DSiWare from time to time. Like Go! Go! Kokopolo, out this week. It’s a game with a neat premise: you’re a cat (well, a wildcat)…
Nintendo made one live action movie, the Super Mario Bros. flick. It sucked. That isn’t stopping Zelda designer Eiji Aonuma from fantasizing about making an epic motion picture with everyone’s favorite green-hatted hero. In the August edition of Nintendo Power, Aonuma confessed that he was personally interested in doing a Zelda movie. “I always thought…
We’ve all used an emulator at one stage in our lives. Whether to replay some classic old arcade games or play an obscure console title you missed first time around, they’re a dime a dozen. But have you ever considered how accurate they are? While emulators exist to, well, emulate the experience of playing a…
Bandai Namco is releasing a Gundam themed navigational app for the iPhone. Users can selected Earth Federation or Republic of Zeon interface choices and voice guidance. You or your car is represented by a Mobile Suit or battle suit. The more you use the app, the more Mobile Suits you can acquire. While using the…
If you needed convincing that this Friday is as good as a second launch for the ailing Nintendo 3DS, look no further: alongside a hefty price cut the handheld will also soon be available in a new colour. Well, new for the US. The “Flame Red” 3DS has been available in Japan for a while…
Bugs happen. And since games can be patched and fixed, I personally don’t think a few aren’t that big of a deal. They can be, however, very funny. Take this one, which is what is apparently a recently discovered bug in Gran Turismo 5, a not-so-recently released game. The bug was in Super GT: Eifel…
When I was at university, I was designing a game with a friend. With The Sims making buckets of money and Theme Park being a big inspiration, we set out to make a game based on…running a shopping mall. It didn’t get very far. But that’s OK! We’re both going to be playing it this…
If super group AKB48 are idols you can see live on a daily basis, then Marshmallow 3D are idols you can cop a feel from. Forget 3D boob games on the Nintendo 3DS! Later this month during a 24 hour telethon for an adult TV channel, you, me or anyone else can pay ¥1,000 (US$13)…
The Xperia Play, Sony Ericsson’s first PlayStation-branded phone, hasn’t exactly set the world on fire. Mostly because, for a PlayStation Phone, there aren’t many PlayStation games on it. That could soon be about to change, though perhaps not in a way that will make Sony very happy. Coder yifanlu is working on reverse-engineering the phone’s…
While Nintendo’s 3DS isn’t due for its massive price cut until August 12 (this Friday), it appears one retailer has jumped the gun and is already selling the handheld at the new, greatly reduced price. Walmart outlets in some parts of the US appear to be selling the 3DS for $170 right now, users of…
‘Sup, Kotaku. You want to talk about things that aren’t necessarily video game related? Cool. Because we have a Themed Tuesday open thread, the kind that’s perfect for off-topic talkin’ noobs. Today, I ask “What are you reading?” I’ll start, revealing that I’m reading Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One, a sci-fi novel about a massively…
The newest PS3 firmware update (v3.70) adds auto-syncing trophies and an auto-upload function for online save data… but only for PlayStation Plus subscribers. A PlayStation Store “recommendations” feature, a “TV/Video Services” XMB section and Blu-ray 3D enhancements are for everybody.
Some 300 million downloads later, Rovio’s mobile hit Angry Birds has reached a very important milestone. Like recent-ish pop culture sensations Harry Potter, Justin Bieber and Mark Zuckerburg, Angry Birds graces the cover of a new issue of MAD Magazine.
