Ni no Kuni: The Another World Has Largest DS Cartridge Ever

The memory capacity for the Ni No Kuni cartridge comes in at a staggering 4GB.

The upcoming RPG Ni no Kuni: The Another World, by Level 5 and Studio Ghibli, is said to be the biggest DS cartridge ever released. The game’s final cartridge will comprise of a specially made high density 4GB card: more than double the average UMD disk which is limited to only 1.8GB of space.

Apparently one reason for such a large usage of memory is the game’s fully orchestrated soundtrack, composed by Joe Hisaishi, best known for his work with animator Hayao Miyazaki.

Wow. For music? I'm surprised it's not because of all the animation in it.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Review

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen an entry in the Metroid Prime series - 18 years, in fact. It was 8 years ago that Metroid Prime 4 was originally announced and its development was more than a little turbulent. Initially developed by Bandai Namco, it was later scrapped completely and development was shifted back to Retro Studios to start the project over. In the end, Retro has delivered a solid new entry in the series, but one that doesn’t totally capture what originally made the series so compelling.
