Pokemon on a shoestring budget
Let’s just say you had to recreate the opening Pokemon squence with your friends. No, imagine you *had* to do it… because, er, if you don’t then aliens with sharks for heads would invade the planet and eat all the hamsters.

Nintendo Gamecube three times more popular than Xbox 360 in Japan
You might have heard that the Xbox isn’t very popular in Japan. It’s true. There’s lots of reasons why this is the case – it’s the console from America, the games don’t always suit the Japanese market and the PlayStation 2 is so incredibly strong there. The Nintendo DS is even stronger. A recent survey […]
Freak Mario to save Mario?
This is a bit messed up. It’s a YouTube video designed to grab the attention of Shigeru Miyamoto the creator of Mario. It’s messed up. Really, it’s hard to say much about this freakish video except that the author clearly thinks Mario has been lead down the nightmare path to destruction. Freaky. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=863GSlfp9Uw One more […]

Thanks Japan! The DS has a zombie simulation game called Love Zombie. In the game you take control of an army of farmer zombies. Those evil humans stole the zombies “precious something” and now they want it back. It’s 8-bit meets a farming game meets zombie. What’s not to love about that? Here’s a trailer […]
Night of the Sacrifice: Wii Balance Board horror game
Do you use your Wii balance board very much any more? Might you use it more if it was part of a horror game? Are you, like me, curious as to how the balance board could be used in a horror game? Sadly, we’ll have to wait and find out. We do know that Famitsu […]
Donkey Kong + Jenga = Donkey Kong Jenga
I don’t think Vat19 always hit the nail on the head but they’ve certainly done it with Donkey Kong Jenga. Such a simple idea and so ace. You know Jenga – try and remove blocks from a tower, without being the one who sends the whole thing crashing down. You know Donkey Kong – avoid […]
Metroid: Mega Awesome Samus Aran cosplay
Samus Aran is the sexy hero from Metroid – although some of us only realised how sexy she was during Super Smash Bros when she stripped off her gravity suit to continue the fight.
