Igarashi: DS the only platform in which it’s acceptable to publish 2-D games
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 7 Comments
In a recent issue of Nintendo Power (249), the magazine interviewed famous members of the gaming industry in honor of the DS’s fifth anniversary. Koji Igarashi, producer of numerous Castlevania games, had this to say about the system:
“If [you want] to have the sharp gameplay that only 2-D games can provide…Then I think DS is the only hardware [for which it is] acceptable to publish such a game.”
I have to admit, the DS has housed some truly beautiful and high-quality 2-D titles. The Castlevania games have especially worked well on the handheld.

Geoff Keighley teases “biggest surprise premiere in VGA history”
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 12 Comments
The Spike TV Video Game Awards have received a lot of attention as of late. Geoff Keighley, the man in charge of the show, has been pumping up the event with teases over the past few days. The VGAs will be taking place later today, but Keighley has one final tease for fans before it all starts. On his official Twitter, he wrote that the biggest surprise in the history of the VGAs will be shared, and it’ll be revealed basically as soon as the show starts.
“Do not miss the first five minutes of the VGAs for our biggest surprise premiere in VGA history!”
I don’t really think this will be Nintendo-related necessarily, but it should be interesting if you’re a fan of gaming in general.

M-rated title SABRE Team coming to Wii
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
This information comes from the ESRB…
Platform: Wii
Rating: MatureContent descriptors: Blood, Violence
Rating summary:
This is a first-person shooter in which players take control of an elite special-forces unit. Missions are set “behind enemy lines” in a number of Middle Eastern-style locations. Players use “run-and-gun” tactics as they navigate tight alleyways and corridors, secure buildings, and kill enemy forces. Realistic machine guns, shotguns, and grenades are used throughout each mission. The blood effects account for the Mature rating: When a player is shot by an enemy, the camera jerks slightly and a semi-opaque red effect covers the screen; large sprays of blood burst out of injured characters and linger in the air for a brief period.
