As I said yesterday, our friend Jeremy Parish working hard to plow through the gaming alphabet, with the help of some journalistic friends, of course. Today we continue down the path of the letter ‘A’ by looking at Alucard from Castlevania III and Armakuni from The Last Ninja. Hit up the link below [...]

This has to be the most endearing display of cross-developer love we've seen during our games writing careers. Capcom's Shawn Baxter (a.k.a. "Snow,") recently posted on the company's community blog about his latest D.I.Y. project -- a real-life version of Fortune's Tower, one of the pub games featured in Fable II. Oh, and in Fable II Pub Games, though you probably didn't need us to tell you that. Words can't really describe this two-month, $400 project as well as pictures, so hop on over to Capcom's blog and check out the delectable fruits of Baxter's labor. If you're of a crafty ilk, the post also contains a few blueprints you can follow to make your own Fortune's Tower set. We probably won't post about yours, though. This is a one-time thing.

We’ve featured many of these Earthbound/Mother 3 creations on the site before, but now a whole mess of them are up for sale. You better check out all the goodies quick, as many of them are selling out faster than I can post about them!

Well, it’s not the Viewtiful Joe return we wanted to see, but at least Capcom is still using the character. Perhaps one day we can get a new entry in the series. Maybe a sequel to the DS title?

I guess LEGO Rock Band is a must-play if you have a bunch of family around for the holidays. The game is filled with songs that everyone will know, plus the family-friendly LEGO setting will ensure that even the smallest kids can join in and have some fun. If you’re going to be [...]

Coming from Natsume’s official Facebook page… Direct link here Take a look at this trailer for Moki Moki, coming to WiiWare December 14th. It’s a quirky puzzle game packed with variety and charm! It was so much fun to work on, we’re kind of sad that it’s finished. We’re excited that you’ll all get to play it [...]

Direct link here Someone actually liked Bird Week enough to put together a piano tribute for it? I like some bad games in my day, but I’ve never gone out of my way to do a tribute to them. I guess this person just really enjoyed their time spent with Bird Week! Either [...]

Here’s something pretty interesting…a preowned copy of Henry Hatsworth and the Puzzling Adventure in an Australian EB Games. Why is that such a big deal? Well, Henry Hatsworth never saw release in Australia, as the publisher decided to skip out on that area of the world. Looks like EB Games found a [...]

These might actually come in handy, considering the Virtual Console release! I really need to pick up this series again. I had a blast with it back in the day, even if it did kick my ass around every corner.

Twas the night before Christmas When all through Sunsoft, Not a creature was stirring, Not even a boss; The stockings were hung Through the office with care In hopes that new video games Soon would appear. The workers were nestled All snug at their screens While visions of new games Danced in their dreams. See what happens, Sunsoft? You disappear for so long, and now your [...]

A portion of a WiiLoveIt review… …the screensaver function here is even less appealing than that in My Aquarium, but if you really want to watch a small group of indentical, emotionless animals stroll aimlessly around a small generic area, at least it’s only 500 points.

Looking for some tree trimmings for the gamer in your family? Perhaps this Galaga ornament is just the thing! Not only does it look the part, but it also happens to play music and sound effects from the game.

Check out the insane amount of screens (with spoilers)

Not an official release date by any means, but GameStop has to be pulling that date from somewhere. Sure would be nice to get Red Steel 2 that soon. Thanks to Oscar for the heads up!

The biggest game magazine release of the months has to be Game Informer. They’ve hit their 200th issue, and have celebrated with a bunch of limited-edition covers. Above, we get a look at the Final Fantasy cover, which is the only one I hadn’t seen yet! I’d love to get a collection [...]

For as far back as I can remember, Mega Man has had the ‘Blue Bomber’ nickname. For the life of me, I had no idea where he got that from. I mean, the name makes perfect sense, but how did Mega Man actually get it? While Capcom has never officially said how the nickname [...]
