Platforms

Platforming Fans: You have a new game to buy. I’m not kidding either.

MegaMan 2 was a game I grew up on. I never beat it as a kid- it would be ten years until that accomplishment- but I played it more than any other NES title I owned, plowing through the harrowing platforming puzzles, dodging beams of light on FlashMan’s stage, and cursing (as good as any 6 year old could, anyhow) at the frustrating spikes scattered about BubbleMan’s underwater fortress. By age 8 I had beaten every robot master thirty times over, and though I never defeated Wily himself, I got as close as anyone else my age.

I was- and still consider myself to be- a very skilled platformer.

It is with great consideration, then, that I concede (temporary) defeat in front of the latest game I have had the pleasure of reviewing. That game is ‘Fractured Soul’, a dual-screen platformer from the makers of nothing you’ve likely heard of. If you want to know more about the developer, you can read my interview with them here. If you want to know more about my concession to ‘Fractured Soul’?

Simply hit the break and I’ll tell you all about it.


Who’s up for a few more screenshots of New Super Mario Bros. U?

Thanks to Quorf for the tip.



And now we officially have four Wii U events to look forward to. The fun starts at 3 AM ET / 12 AM PT tomorrow with a Japanese presentation. At 10:00 AM ET / 7:00 AM PT, three – yes, three – broadcasts will be taking place.

The first presentation will probably be a stream of the conference in New York City. All information coming from that will be for the US market. At the same time, a Nintendo Direct video will be shown for European consumers. Last but not least, also at 10:00 AM will be a second Japanese presentation hosted by Satoru Iwata, who will detail first and third-party games for Wii U.

Prepare yourself for a maddening day!


The official Scribblenauts Unlimited Facebook page is teasing “big” news for tomorrow. I think it goes without saying that this is related to the Wii U events lined up over the next 24 hours.

Anyone want to take a guess as to what Warner Bros. and 5th Cell have in store?

The OFLC added a new entry to its database yesterday: Liberation Maiden. Level-5 International America is listed as its publisher.

Is this another sign that Guild 01 could be localized in English? Perhaps select games from the collection could come to the eShop…
