“People often say that RPGs used to be more fun, so I’ve given a lot of thought to what the difference is between modern and classic RPGs. One result is that the story here is not told in events, but instead through NPC conversations as much as possible. Another is that much of the [...]
“I have my doubts about how the world is turning toward ’serious’ titles [such as Brain Age]. I don’t think that can be the industry’s main focus. I’m here to make games, obviously, and that attitude played a major part in [358/2 Days] development. A lot of gamers don’t play anything except the really [...]
When we first saw what Kizuna was about, most of us were excited. The Wii was going to get a title that closely resembled Shadow of the Colossus, or so we thought. Now that the game has hit Japan and the reviews are in, we can see that the game isn’t even mediocre [...]

That’s just not right, man. ExciteTruck is a great game, but I can’t believe the original is still priced above the new title. Didn’t anyone pick this game up? Thanks to CoffeewithChess for the heads up!
