What Nintendo fans have all been waiting for since the days of the N64. Just watching this brings back that nostalgic feeling when I used to go over my friend’s place and play this till the sun came up. Let’s just hope it’s as good or even better then the N64 GoldenEye. Oh ya! who wants some proximity mines!
The new Xbox360 has now been officially hacked by Team Xecuter, C4E and Team Jungle. You can now play backed up DVD copies of your games, and play it straight from the 360 tray.
I love the jazzy tunes in the background.
I thought this game play of Naruto Shippuden:Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 was pretty funny when I watched Sakura and Naruto face off against Kakashi. The game itself received a rating of a 9 out of 10 for awesomeness on Game Trailers.
Now I, myself, am not a fan of the Naruto anime (and never was a fan to begin with), but I at least know the storyline. By playing Namco Bandai‘s first Naruto Shippuden followed by it’s second, I would say that it follows the anime’s storyline pretty well, and that in itself is usually where most games fail. Even the side missions aren’t boring at all!
If you haven’t tried out this game yet, the Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 will be available this coming fall on the PS3 and on the Xbox 360.
Now this is what I’m talking about! Check out the badass moves of Iron Man, and Thor in this new gameplay footage by Capcom. The more I watch, the more I can’t wait for this game to come out. Oh my! my nerdgasm is off the charts right now.
The long awaited LED addon for PS3 is now available to import. This is great if you are on the go or can’t afford an HD TV. It costs around 260 dollars U.S with an 11.6 inch LED screen that can do 480i to 720p scans. In other words you are getting some serious crispy quality video. (more…)
For those that didn’t attend Comicon 2010 here is the actual gameplay of Marvel Vs Capcom 3. This is going to be the biggest bad ass fighting game to date. Way more bad ass then Street Fighter IV, that’s all I can say.
Here is the first footage of Street Fighter X Tekken at Comicon 2010. If you look carefully the style, and combat is similar to Tatsunoko vs Capcom using the Street Fighter IV engine.
A few days ago Hironobu Sakaguchi released his Japanese translation of the “Last Story” being his last game. I guess my predictions were correct, and he is retiring. The memories, and the work he has done for the Final Fantasy series will never be forgotten. What he started on Nintendo with his First Final Fantasy game will end with his last game with Nintendo.
There is a saying that life is a circle. When you travel on that circle you build up your career, your goals, and achievements. You keep traveling on that circle experiencing life, and meeting new people. In order to find your legend you have to complete your circle without looking back or holding back. At the end of that circle you end up where you first started, but as a completed person. Reminds me of “The Alchemist” novel by Paulo Coelho. If you haven’t read it you should.
Hideki Sakamoto is a well known Videogame music composer in Japan. He made huge contributions to games such as Yakuza 2, Echochrome, Castlevania: Judgement, and Yakuza 3.
Now you can watch him produce live straight from the Echochrome 2 studio. That would make it 13 hours ahead of the East Coast. You should listen to the music it’s very beautiful.
We are grateful for recieving this information from Tatsuya Suzuki (the producer of Echochrome).

The father of Final Fantasy finally gives us a glimpse of his new RPG game for the Wii. This is a must watch! Just amazing! It brings that feel of the old glory days of the core of what Final Fantasy was about. Do not doubt the powers of Hironobu Sakaguchi.
Just as he started Final Fantasy 1 on Nintendo he will start a new franchise with the same company that made his series popular. But this time, with 3D rendered models, voice acting, and larger town explorations. Not only that, but if you are not familiar with his work. He has that dark, and mature style that he envisions in his games. This is what made Final Fantasy true to the fans.
It’s been a long time since Final Fantasy 7, and now Nintendo fans will be pleased. Let’s just hope the gameplay fits the controllers. That’s my only concern.
Thank you Mr. Sakaguchi Thank you!
Edit: I just noticed when visiting The Last Story website, the icon that appears on my browser is Retro Mario from the NES days. Just looking at that reminds me of the first Final Fantasy on the NES. Maybe Mr. Sakaguchi is reminding us about the old days when he first designed his first Final Fantasy game. Maybe The Last Story is his final chapters as a game designer. It sounds sad to think about it in that point of view. But maybe that’s the reason why he chose that title. It has a deeper meaning to it.
Or I’m just being emonized by the song on the webpage right now, and it’s making me think haha.
Xbox360 Tokumeika introduces The IdolMaster 2 the sequel to the ever popular IdolMaster. It’s possible the video is hinting of a Kinect feature. In my opinion, mostly likely this feature will be included, and it would give a great dance/workout experience. The game will be released in spring of 2011.
Crytek developers release their first video diary explaining the origins of Crysis, and the on going development of Crysis 2. They will do frequent video updates before the actual game arrives in a few months. So if you haven’t kept up with the series then head on over to MyCrysis. Also if you register a new account on their website, you might be able to get into the beta program.
First look on the sequel to Echochrome for the Playstation 3. This sequel will be released for the PS3 Move, and will create a different kind of gameplay.
Now if you are not familiar with the style of Echochrome. The style was originated from the famous artist named M.C. Escher who created infinite realities. He made the mind believe that there is more then one way to view a certain perspective.
The first Echochrome game was a simple black and white puzzle game. You had to control the game by rotating the level using the analog controller to get your character to reach his goal. In this sequel the video shows a more colorful 3D space where you utilize the Move controller to cast shadows. So instead of rotating the entire level you will cast shadows in the background to complete your objective.
It’s a very unique game. It does separate from M.C. Escher’s work with the infinite realities. By the looks of the video it will not be as complicated as the first sequel. You are practically casting shadows keeping the character in a 2D scenario instead of a 3D scenario like the first game. I was hoping they would keep the idea of the first game. They could have revamped the graphics to drawings like M.C. Escher to make it more realistic, and challenging. We’ll just have to wait when it comes out. For now it’s an interesting concept, but not to sure if I’m fond of the whole static gameplay.
Hello! Eileen here! I’m pretty new here, but I will be helping out my friend, Bucky, with Digfest.com’s updates. I’d also like to thank him for giving me the opportunity to write these awesome blogs! I’ll try not to do too much harm. =D
Some of you proactive Wii-goers are familiar with Cave Story in your wiiware, but for those of you who aren’t, I’d like to revisit this game since it’s my favorite game of all time (for now).
As you know, Cave Story was just released in Wii’s wiiware this year in the 22nd of March and when I found out about it, I went ballistic! Unfortunately for me, I didn’t have the money to buy it, but I imagine that the game is just as cool if not better on Wii as it was on PC back in 2004 and on Playstation’s PSP in 2006. The recently released Cave Story for Wii has better graphics, new weapons, and different levels of play as well as other fantastic features!
Independent maker Daisuke Amaya, aka Pixel, has wonderfully created this nostalgic 2D design and it surely brings me back to the days when I was a kid when Nintendo first came out with Duck Hunt (I will forever be haunted by the laughing dog). Even the music and sound effects are simplified to easy beats and tones that the gamer will find themselves humming. And with two buttons for shooting and jumping, it’s no wonder why they haven’t had this game on Wii any sooner!
It’s amazing to think that technology has gone a long way in the gaming industry as well as digital arts; Pixel has definitely taken us back to that “old school” feel. I do hope that Pixel will come up with another amazing game like this one.
NetherRealm Studios/Warner Bros. released three brand spanking new magazine covers of the new Mortal Kombat game. As you can see above two Electronic Gaming Monthly Magazines with Sub-zero, and Raiden. While the 3rd is the Hyper Magazine with Scorpion. It brings back that nostalgic feeling of reading my first EGM magazine with JAX on the cover. Hrmm.. that reminds me.. I should scan it, and post it on here. To think it’s already been more then 10 years,and I still have it lying somewhere here (I hope).
Super Mario Galaxy is about to release on 23rd of Sunday which is tomorrow! But we’d like to share this footage of Mario doing his triple lutz on ice. This is the best 3D Mario game to date so go ahead and pick it up. It’s like having all the Mario games in 1 package, and it brings that Nostalgic feeling.
The U.S version of Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom just arrived last week. The U.S version makes the Japanese version look like it’s little brother. With 4 new characters, and more stages, and a reworked soundtrack you will have a blast with this game. It includes an online multiplayer so you can battle it out against your buddies online (FOR FREE). This is practically Street Fighter IV for the Wii, but faster, and a whole lot more combos to push. Also there are loads of achievements, and hidden content to unlock making this our favorite fighting game out of all fighting games for the Wii so far.
One of the best shooting games on the Wii by far. If you like Sin & Punishment on the n64 this is a must have.
