Today, Capcom issued a Press Release, announcing that they would be releasing the first three entries in the Nintendo DS Ace Attorney series on Nintendo’s, starting with Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney in January, with Phoenix Wright: Justice for All and Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations to be released in the following months.

From random costumes, random dances, and random props, Lady Gaga is just that. Random. But, I’m glad someone decided to put some geekyness in her new Bad Romance music video. Sexy Latex + Bondage themes + Nintendo Nun chuck controller. Yup, random indeed.
Congratulations to Nintendo for getting their Game Boy inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame. I remember the first time I saw one of these bad boys. I couldn’t believe my eyes while watching my next door neighbor play Super Mario Land. I kept thinking to myself. Wow. This is Nintendo! But this is Nintendo that you can walk around with. Amazing!
The Game Boy has laid down the ground work for every advanced mobile gaming device and deserves this place in history.
Full press release past the break. (more…)
It’s coming back. The old school ways of NES motorcycle racing. This game will solidify the fact that gameplay will always be better than graphics.
Oh, Home Shopping Network. Every time you fail, there is someone with a DVR and an internet connection to amplify that fail. In the video above, two sales people are trying to get you to buy a Nintendo Wii with all these included accessories that you don’t need. Why is it unnecessary? Go 4 minutes and 50 seconds into the video to find out.
Saturday, October 10th. VGXpo, Day 2. My review of Day 1 was lukewarm, at best. Much has changed for Day 2. Some parts for much betters, others for worse. I’ll touch on a few key products and services I saw that actually caught my eye, though they were few and far between, as well as some misadventures and terribadness that kept things from running as smoothly as possible. More after the break!
How appropriate that as I write this post for today’s Throwback, one of the top trending topics on Twitter is “Good old NES Games.”
Today’s throwback was thought up when a couple of the PixelatedGeek crew got together last weekend at Dave & Busters. We all started talking about tech, video games, internets etc etc. But then the topic of the conversation went towards a direction I loved. Retro games. Now, I thought I was only one of the few that knew or even played this game called “Caveman Games.” But, I think it was James and Andrew that played it. So, it was nice to know that someone knew what I was talking about. If you don’t know what Caveman Games is, go past the break. (more…)
Nintendo is letting DSi owners download a free system update after 5pm (PST) today. The free update includes a way for you to upload photos to your Facebook account using your WiFi connection.
Full press release after the break.
The day has arrived, my friends! Today, Nintendo has released the N64 classic, Super Smash Bros. 64 for the Wii Virtual Console. The game itself is a classic, having spawned two sequels for the GameCube and Wii itself. However, the old school game is always fun and, personally, Super Smash Bros. Brawl didn’t live up to the hype, at least for me.
If there’s one thing I love about the current era of gaming, it’s the ability for gaming companies to rerelease their games digitally. On the PS3/PSP side, Square Enix recently released Final Fantasy VII on the PlayStation Network, with talks of Konami releasing the original Metal Gear Solid. Both PSN and Xbox LIVE Arcade have Castlevania Symphony of the Night, along with many other classic games.
Some may like the amazing graphics (or, the Wii’s case, passable graphics) that the current generation of consoles is capable of, but I think the fact that they’re keeping the classics alive is what keeps my interest as a gamer.
[Update] Silly me. Apparently, the Friday release was for PAL regions. Sorry to our North American readers who got their hopes up. Looks like you’ll have to wait.

Is it even possible to make We Cheer even more embarassing than it already is? YES. During my Wii Cheer demo, I made sure to follow every cheer, dance, and direction the avatar on screen was doing. Because this game is called “We Cheer”, it doesn’t really get the love form the general E3 attendee. If you actually play it, it’s just like any other rythm game. Think Samba De Mingo, but without maracas or shaking of the Wiimotes and you have We Cheer.
