Along with today’s screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following message:

The two heroes swing it out with a double Spin Attack! Wouldn’t wanna be to the one to get hit.”


A new Nintendo Direct presentation will be held tomorrow, it has been announced. The broadcast will be shown at 10 AM ET / 7 AM PT. Nintendo says that the stream will be “focused on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games launching later this year.”



After a somewhat necessary break, I’m back with another personal blend of humor and information in the form of a review for you all to enjoy. This time I look at the illustrious Luigi’s Mansion thanks to the persuasion of an unwanted friend.


Shu Takumi is largely known for the Ace Attorney series. But Takumi also created Ghost Trick, an under-appreciated DS (and iOS) game that came out just a few years ago.

Capcom has already given Ace Attorney the crossover treatment in Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Could a mingling of the Ace Attorney and Ghost Trick IPs also happen one day? While nothing is confirmed, Takumi “would love to see” it happen.

Takumi talked about the possibility in this month’s issue of ONM. Here’s the full exchange between the two:

ONM: Could you imagine an Ace Attorney/Ghost Trick crossover? Any deaths that we couldn’t prevent by way of possession could then go to trial in a courtroom…

Takumi: …or Phoenix Wright could be killed and Sissel could prosecute his killer in court! Whatever form it might take, a crossover between these games is something I would love to see happen.

Thanks to joclo for the tip.


Shantae: Half-Genie Hero has reached its first stretch goal on Kickstarter. Having raised $500,000, the game will now include a Risky Mode.

Risky Mode will allow players to tackle two full campaigns. There will be a main storyline featuring Shantae, and an alternate plot with Risky Boots taking center stage.

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero has four days left to reach additional stretch goals.



Midgar Studio has launched a Kickstarter for a project known as “Edge of Eternity”. The developer describes its game as “a new RPG that will lead you to experience a unique and unusual universe. The action takes place in a world whose design combines some steampunk influence – the best Japanese RPG – and Medieval age influences.”

According to Midgar, the plan is to have Edge of Eternity on practically every platform – Wii U, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, PS Vita, and more. First, though, the team will need to raise $200,000 to secure funding. There’s also a $600,000 goal which will allow Midgar to create “a new version of the game using all the HD and resources of the next gen platforms”.
