Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures Inc. trademark “Phantom Gate”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 3 Comments
Last December, Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures Inc. filed a new trademark for “Phantom Gate”. Given the connection between all three companies, there’s a good chance this is Pokemon-related. A Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, perhaps?

[Famicompendium] JESUS: KyĹŤfu no Bio Monster
Posted on 11 years ago by Patrick(@Patricklous) in Famicompendium, Features, General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
Have you ever bought a game based on nothing but the title? I sure have and that’s why I’m now writing about Jesus: Ky?fu no Bio Monster (or to use the fan-translated name – Jesus: Tale of the Dreadful Bio-Monster). Don’t go into Jesus expecting some kind of insane Japanese take on Christianity, though, as it’s more about researchers fighting space monsters and anime girls rocking out on synthesizers – or sometimes both at the same time. It’s hardly the most exciting game to play, but it still manages to be crazy in its own way.
