DSi XL Coming to Japan this year, NA & Europe 2010



In Japan, Nintendo announced that another model of the DSi was being released there. The system is much bigger than the DSi, having 4 inch screens, and the size of the system has also gotten bigger, thus losing it's portability. Satoru Iwata says that this was made to combat the barrier that old people have against the DS with it's small screens.

Ignition Entertainment to publish Arc Rise Fantasia

Glendale, CA – October 22, 2009 – Ignition Entertainment Ltd., a UTV Enterprise, a worldwide publisher and developer of videogames and Marvelous Entertainment announced that Arc Rise Fantasia is releasing in Summer 2010 exclusively for the Nintendo Wii™.

Arc Rise Fantasia, winner of the “Best Wii RPG” from IGN at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2009, is a new turn-based RPG with a beautiful, anime-inspired Japanese art style. Players will jump into the shoes of L’Arc, a calm and composed mercenary, who sets out to defend the Meridian Empire from an impending invasion of ferocious creatures. After assembling a party of friends, each with a unique set of abilities, players will embark on a perilous journey across an overworld filled with deadly enemies and treacherous dungeons. While strategically queuing up attacks, players can summon mystical creatures and work with their party members to execute massive attacks.

“We are absolutely thrilled to bring Arc Rise Fantasia to a western audience,” said Shane Bettenhausen, New Business Development Director of Ignition Entertainment. “It’s an ambitious Japanese role-playing game with deep gameplay, top-notch production values, and an unforgettable story line--Wii owners have been pining for a massive fantasy epic and their patience will definitely be rewarded.”

“In Arc Rise Fantasia we’ve implemented a fun and quick paced battle system to give gamers an enjoyable RPG experience,” said Hiroyuki Kanemaru of Image Epoch. “Ignition Entertainment has a great track record with bringing established Japanese experiences to new western audiences and we’re delighted to be able to team up with them to publish Arc Rise Fantasia.”

New 3D Dot Game Heroes Trailer


This game just looks so awesome. Rumor has it that Atlus & Ignition are in a bidding war trying to get the game brought over here. Obviously it pays homage to tons of Classic games like Zelda, Megaman, Castlevania, etc. I mean the chickens attacking the character with the sword has been a Zelda staple for many years! I can't wait!

I got Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2


I got the game yesterday afternoon thanks to my brother. He decided to buy me one last PS3 game that we could play together. I never thought I would own a Dynasty Warriors or Gundam videogame, now I own 2 in 1, lol. We played the first mission together, and it totally wasn't what I was expecting. I don't know if I should continue playing or wait until he comes home for Thanksgiving so we can play it together. Definitely a good game though!

Sorry for the drought...

Yeah, my brother came home on September 23rd (he's in the Air Force), so I've just been spending time with him. We actually didn't play that many games together sadly, and now he'll be leaving this Wednesday. I went out of town over the weekend to visit my grandma in Austin.

I did surprisingly play Donkey Kong: Jungle Climber for the DS. I forgot how damn hard that game can be sometimes. I was dying so much I got fed up with it. Then I started the Battle Frontier in Platinum and that was giving me trouble. I swear I think DS games are harder than Wii games, lol.
