18 March 2010 – Puzzle fanatics better get their stylus ready, as Rooms: The Main Building launches on Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi on 21 May 2010. Packed with over 100 challenging and exciting puzzles, Rooms: The Main Building is designed to test the most ingenious minds.
Set in a dark and mysterious house called ‘Rooms Mansion’, the game plunges you into a virtual world based around 100 challenging sliding puzzles with a twist. In each room or level, you must think carefully and strategically to safely navigate your character to the room’s exit by sliding sections of the room, the same way as a slide puzzle. Your character can walk from tile to tile, but remember that only the tile that your character is standing in can be moved.

Sakamoto discusses Metroid: Other M and WarioWare: D.I.Y.
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 1 Comment
Metroid and WarioWare producer Yoshio Sakamoto on Metroid not being as popular in Japan as it is in the U.S…
“In Japan, the people who are into Metroid tend to be hardcore game fans. It’s not a series that’s necessarily found acceptance in Japan outside of that niche. You can also say that it’s the same as how science fiction is embraced in the United States compared to Japan. Science fiction seems to be a niche genre in Japan as a whole, where it seems to have found more mainstream success in the US.”
