Continuing to explore advertising options for the site
Posted 13 years ago by Brian in Site updates | 0 comments
You know what I wish grew on trees? Money! If it did, it would solve quite a few problems… We’ve tried out a few advertising options for the site which, so far, haven’t been as successful as I had hoped. We still are giving up on things just yet, though.
In the future, you may see a different background on the site relating to gamer’s interests. It could be for an upcoming title, or something else completely. But the basic idea is that the background may change for a few days, and then it’ll return to its original form. It doesn’t seem like a huge deal, or something that will be annoying or intrusive. Granted it turns out to be something we don’t find advantageous to the benefit of the site or our readers, it will be removed immediately.
Just want to make sure I keep everyone informed!
Eshiro on Okami’s lack of success
Posted 13 years ago by Brian in DS, News | 0 comments
This information comes from Capcom producer Motohide Eshiro…
“I can’t comment officially but, personally speaking, I think it had a lot to do with the announcements for new consoles. That was overshadowing any other game news at the time.”
Unfortunately, I feel as though Okamiden is in a similar situation as its predecessor. The game is coming out very close to the launch of the 3DS. I’m somewhat concerned that the system’s launch will overshadow the release of Okamiden.

Posted 13 years ago by Brian in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
When it comes to downloadable games for the Wii™ and Nintendo DSi™ systems, you never know what each day might have in store. One minute you’ll be throwing elbows and speeding around the track in Jam City Rollergirls for the WiiWare™ service. Next, you’ll travel back in time for classic arcade-style air battles in 1942 for the Virtual Console™ service. Then it’s back to the present, where you’ve got to stay cool under pressure as an air traffic mastermind in Airport Mania®: Non-Stop Flights for Nintendo DSiWare™. Just when things start to settle down, Rocks N’ Rockets will inspire you to step up and fight off an onslaught of deadly meteors using your Nintendo DSi stylus. With hundreds of downloadable titles to choose from – plus demo versions of select WiiWare games for zero Wii Points™ – you’ll never face another humdrum afternoon again.

Nintendo Wifi Connection – As bad as Xbox Live, only worse than Xbox Live
Posted 13 years ago by Austin in Features, Wii | 0 comments
There seems to be an eternal argument going on about violent video games and children, and what sort of adverse affects that these video games may or may not have on such youngsters. Now, I’m no psychologist or specialist on the subject by any means- hell, my opinion doesn’t even mean any more than yours does- but I feel that I need to get this out there for people to read. You see, I’ve been playing a lot of Call of Duty: Black Ops on the Wii lately, and I’ve noticed a lot of very, very poor parenting going on as I play.

Ono would like to see Nintendo x Capcom
Posted 13 years ago by Brian in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono was asked the following question at the 3DS preview event…
“Considering you are trying to make Street Fighter IV 3DS accessible to a wider audience, did you ever think about including Nintendo characters to broaden the appeal?”
Surprisingly, Ono stated outright that he would very much be interested in making a Nintendo x Capcom title. Ono believes the idea should be pitched to Nintendo of Japan, as well as Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai.
