Igarashi: DS the only platform in which it’s acceptable to publish 2-D games
Posted on 16 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.

Normally I wouldn’t post up an ESRB description that doesn’t reveal new information about a game, but I felt like this is one of those instances where exceptions should be made. It’s a bit lengthy, so I’ll put most of the rating after the break.

M-rated title SABRE Team coming to Wii
Posted on 16 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.
Thanks to Captain N for the news tip!
