If a ninja chops off my arm with his sword, I'm probably just going to run away instead of going all suicide bomber on him.
Sometimes, you’ll come across a game series that people adore, but you just don’t get why. Oh, you’ll try, of course. You’ll read the glowing reviews, check out gameplay videos, and listen to people rave about it on podcasts. Yet try as you might, you just don’t click with it, and you feel like you’re missing out. That’s the way I’ve always felt about the modern Ninja Gaiden games. Still, as beloved as this franchise is, after playing Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge I just have to wonder if I’m really missing something here, or do diehard fans see how messed up this game is?
Available for the Nintendo Wii U on November 18, 2012.
You want the date? You'll just have to click through to find out...
Tecmo Koei has announced the release date for Dead or Alive 5.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This game's only worth one: junk.
Two hours. That’s how long it took me to finish Spirit Camera: The Lost Memoir. But to be fair, at least thirty of those minutes were spent trying to get the AR working properly, so I’ll amend my original statement. Ninety minutes is the actual time it took me to complete Spirit Camera, and I’d really like each one of them back.
Another coup for Wii owners in the EU.
It’s been a long time since anyone has heard from the Fatal Frame series. The game debuted on the PlayStation 2 in 2001, and the series became a cult hit amongst horror fans. The fourth game was developed exclusively for the Wii by Grasshopper Manufacture in 2008, but was never translated from Japanese. A remake of the second game, Crimson Butterfly, is in the works for the Wii, but until now there had been no word of the game seeing a release outside of its native country.
Available now for the Nintendo 3DS.
The unlikely crossover will be known by western audiences as Pokemon Conquest.
Back in December, Nintendo and Tecmo Koei revealed one of the oddest crossovers in video game history. Pokemon and Nobunaga's Ambition were to be combined into a unique turn-based strategy game for the DS. Today, Nintendo of America announced plans to bring the unlikely title to western audiences as Pokemon Conquest.
Yet another title with an Online Pass.
Tecmo-Koei's Ninja Gaiden 3 is coming out March 20, 2012 and the company has announced that its online multiplayer will be locked behind a Online Pass. Joystiq has confirmed with a Tecmo-Koei representative that the title will require the pass to play online.
