The Art Of Mortal Kombat

For a game that’s always been darker and grittier than its rival Street Fighter, the new Mortal Kombat has a surprising amount of…beauty to it. The game’s art style sets the same tone the rest of it does: a return to not just the roots of the series but the business of fighting, and nothing…

Don’t Worry About Wii 2 Dick Jokes

This is quite silly, but somebody asked me, “Wouldn’t Wii 2 be ‘Weenie’ in Japanese?” Well, not quite. “Two” in Japanese can read as “ni” (ニ) so theoretically “Wii 2” could be “Wii ni”, aka “weenie”, aka “schlong”, “dick”, “woody”, “trouser snake” – you name it! That’s theoretical, however, because nobody in Japan would actually…

Last month, a display at San Jose State University let visitors play Minecraft outside the confines of a computer, using little paper cubes and little paper tools.

Mario’s Creator Doesn’t Want To Talk Wii 2

I’m ready to talk Wii 2. You’re ready. But Shigeru Miyamoto? So not ready. “Don’t ask!” the Mario creator told Edge. “Even when the Wii launched we were developing new hardware, work on 3DS had already started. It’s a matter of when we announce it.” In the past Nintendo has said that it is always…

Dancing Fingers And Super Mario

Dancer Hokuto “Hok” Konishi isn’t usually on crutches, but he tore part of his achilles and paroneal tendon while practicing. Bummed, he tried to figure out how he could dance with what working resources he still had – his arms, hands and fingers. And nothing quite says “upbeat” like Mario music.
