Pokemon Platinum japanese commercial

The new storyline will involve a disturbance atop Mt. Coronet, as a portal to the “Ruined World” is opened and Sinnoh’s climate becomes colder. The trainers have been given new outfits to suit the colder climate.

So get ready for the Poke madness once again, this title will surely fly of the shelves in japan and will definitely make the same impression over here in the states. I think with the success of the series on the handhelds, the developers are ready to tackle a version for the Wii. Believe me when they finally announce that, the internet will blow up with talk all over about how it’s going to be the next biggest thing since mario galaxy’s new look.

Wii devs….look long and hard at this!

Okay devs, this buds for you. Take a long and hard look at this video from AiLive that pretty much shows how game design with motion control is pretty much limited by your imagination. In this pretty impressive tech demo, we get a glimps at the wonders of 1:1 ratio motion contol now offered by the Wii motion plus add-on. In particular the sword demo in which the demonstrator shows how easily an fps sword game could be handle. Simply put, it looks pretty damn good and the fact that they even use a light saber in the demo is proof enough that everyone wants a Star Wars game in which you wield the famed blade. Thanks to the blessing that is youtube, I present the video for your viewing pleasure!

New Tenchu 4 trailer…ninjas ARE cool!

If there is any thing this new trailer proves is that you’ll feel sorry for the way some of the enemies get killed in the game. I mean damn, it really must have sucked back in the day to get offed by a ninja. Not only wouldn’t you know who killed you, but you also would have died a painful way. It’s good thing this is just a videogame and ninjas don’t really exists anymore today. Come to think of it, maybe the world would be a better place if ninjas were around to take care of all the knuckleheads! Enjoy the vid.

Ladies and Gentlemen a real Resident Evil Movie… finally!

The story is set in autumn 2005. Bioterrorists manage to release the T-Virus on a busy US airport. The release of the zombies leads to danger of an outbreak and the terminal is closed off and guarded. It has been confirmed that Paul Mercier and Alyson Court will reprise their roles as Leon and Claire respectively.

At the end of the second trailer, a creature is seen that has many similarities to G, including the trademark Eye on a shoulder. This shows similarities to Resident Evil: Dead Aim, in which Bioterrorists release the T-G virus.

Afro Samurai is back!

Awwwww sh!t, that’s right Afro Samurai is back in an all new movie! Dropping in  january 2009 on Spike tv, this is the sequel to one of the hottest anime on american tv’s to date! I for one can say that I’m excited and can’t wait to see more sword slashing mayhem to some phat RZA beats (it just seems like hip-Hop and anime were meant for each other!). And from the trailer below, it looks like it’ll deliver. Peep the synopsis and phat trailer below.

Unit out…

Spike TV’s critically-acclaimed, funktastic anime series “Afro Samurai” returns with an original movie event set to premiere on the network in January 2009. “Afro Samurai: Resurrection” stars Academy Award®-nominated actor Samuel L. Jackson opposite, Emmy Award®-nominated actress Lucy Liu. Award winning artist The RZA once again provides the original score. “Afro Samurai: Resurrection” is produced by Japanese studio GONZO in association/partnership with GDH K.K. and FUNimation Entertainment.

“Afro Samurai: Resurrection” is based on the original art and story telling of manga artist Takashi Okazaki, of a black samurai’s quest for revenge and justice for his murdered father. Samuel L. Jackson (The Spirit), who also serves as an executive producer, reprises his role as the uncompromising hero, Afro and his motor-mouthed sidekick Ninja Ninja. When his father’s body is stolen from its grave, Afro is forced to pick up his sword and wreak bloody vengeance against an army of deadly foes lead by a sadistic mastermind.

Lucy Liu will give voice to Sio, a beautiful, seductive and sadistic mastermind plotting to destroy Afro Samurai. Liu is the star of several Hollywood blockbuster action-adventure films including Charlie’s Angels and Kill Bill and has joined the cast of the ABC drama “Dirty Sexy Money.” Liu can currently be heard as Master Viper in the animated film Kung Fu Panda.

Additional casting includes Mark Hamill as Bin, Sio’s manservant and protector and Yuri Lowenthal as Kuma, the teddy bear-headed warrior from the original “Afro Samurai” series. Best known as the young hero Luke Skywalker in the original “Star Wars” trilogy, Mark Hamill has had a successful career on Broadway, as a voice actor in both animation and video games and as a comic book creator. Yuri Lowenthal is the voice of Sauske in the hit children’s anime series and cultural phenomenon “Naruto.”

Wii motion plus explained…

Confused as to what the new addition to wii-mote actually does? Well the fine folks over at Inven Sense have put together a pretty informative video which shows off the technology behind the tech. The video does a decent if rather boring job of breaking down all the workings of the new add on as well as bring to light some of the Wii-motes shortcomings. As it stands now, Nintendo is currently making the decision to incorporate the tech into wii-motes as opposed to selling it as an add on. Check out the video and try not to fall asleep!

Watch me!

Wario Land : Shake it! direct feed gameplay footage!

Now who says 2-d is dead! Anyone who thinks so should take a look at gameplay footage from the recently released(in japan), Wario Land: Shake it! The game sports some slick hand drawn backgrounds with traditional hand drawn animated characters(by Production IG of Ninja Scroll fame). The controls for the game are played with the wii-mote held old school style. The motions come into play whenever you grab an object, you can shake the remote which causes Wario to shake what ever he is holding. You also have the ability to tilt the controller while holding an object to direct where you toss it. It’s relatively simple stuff, but adds a little flavor to the classic gameplay. Peep the video and don’t fret as the game will launch here in the US in September!

Dead Space: Downfall animated prequel

EA and Starz Media have announced Dead Space Downfall, the feature length animated movie prequel to the upcoming horror game. The release of this DVD and Blu-ray will be around the same time as the games release in October.

Downfall tells the Dead Space story from the end of the comic book series to the beginning of the game, detailing the finding of an alien artifact on a mining colony and its affect on those near it.

Dragon Ball DS

Dragon Ball DS goes back to the origins of the series, offering players a chance to play through the early comics in game form. The game leads players on a multi-episode adventure involving young Goku when he first encounters Bulma. The focus of your quest as these two is to collect seven Dragon Balls.

Namco Bandai and developer Game Republic have taken the world and characters of Akira Toriyama and converted them into full 3D for the DS. In addition to a fully 3D world, presented to the player in three-quarters overhead view, the title recreates many classic Dragon Ball scenes in-engine.

Gameplay appears to be heavy on the action. You make use of the stylus to make Goku perform punches and kicks. Bulma is also playable and makes use of a variety of weapons, including hand guns and machine guns.

New Prince of Persia for NDS

So here’s the story, Facing imminent danger, the Prince flees to a deserted kingdom that seemingly offers sanctuary. Already touched by the evil Corruption, a dark substance that physically contaminates the land and the skies, the kingdom is filled with adventure, challenge and intrigue. As the Prince seeks a way to fight the spreading Corruption destroying the land, he encounters a partially infected creature that promises salvation. But is the creature truly an ally or merely an enemy in disguise? It seems this perilous alliance may be the only way for the Prince to face the forces of darkness and save the Persian kingdom from the Corruption once and for all.

The game is played with the stylus so pulling off attacks and acrobats will be fast and easy. You’ll travel across 50+ stages accompanied by a new character called “Magus”. The two of you will work together to complete puzzles and advance through the game. So this is a new direction Ubisoft is going with the franchise I just hope it gets more fans instead of losing old ones.

1942 AirStrike Hits PSN

Want more trophy madness for your PS3? Then go ahead and download this classic remake from Capcom.  As of late Capcom has been pushing out, or is planing to dish out a lot of games this year.  If you’re a shooter fan then this is a must purchase for anyone interested in reliving those quarter loosing then (none needed here) why not take this bad bo for a spin.

Soul Calibur IV - Early Impressions …

If you don’t live in the New York Tri-State area, you probably don’t have Soul Calibur IV yet.  Don’t hate us, we’re not just good at football. Perhaps understanding the lengths one goes through to get a title early would make you understand.  Yet, that’s a story for another time, cellar lounges downtown, and with women who are only concerned with other types of game.

So how does the final update in the Soul Calibur series stack up against the three brethren that came before it? Remember when we first saw the visual difference in Soul Calibur II on the Arcade-to-Dreamcast version, SCIV visual style is like that.  I always thought those images on the net were exaggerated but SCIV really is amazingly sharp, with high contrast lines, detailed textures, polygons, and all the fancy light works you’ve come to expect (in 720p). Most notable is the surprising effect of damaging your enemies armor to reveal upper, middle, or lower sections of the body. Simply put, no other version before it looks as good.

The thing about 8 way run in the series is that it was never broken. So no changes were needed. Add a few extra moves here and there, make a few tweaks, yada, yada, yada, and you have a slight improvement on the overall feel of the game.  Fluid, and fast, this series always boasted top-speed movement compared to Namco’s fist fighter.  Though I’m sure that there was more that could be done, I can’t see any improvements being added to 8 way run without actually hurting the system.  I have a Hori Fighting Stick, with the 8 button layout, and it plays perfectly with the game.  Characters are very responsive and with practice you’ll be able to execute the crazy IVY special throws.

If you’re expecting a classical story from the days of antiquity, hit up Kratos for round 1 and 2 on PS2, and 21/2 on PSP.  Some things just don’t change in fighting games, as well as they should not.  If fighting games ever developed a back bone for telling a story, I would probably shy away from a such a game.

However, providing extra amounts of Paprika helps.  Content is always the spice of gaming and this one has plenty.  The edit your own fighter has gone to some serious heights now. In SCIII you could edit the main characters color scheme, and add a few things here and there.  Now you have the ability to make fully customizable versions of your favorite slasher.  Not only is it on point, but my Bra-and-Panty-Corn Rolls-Vanilla-IVY ver 24 says it all: you can customize down to the panties.  (snagged a pic for you below).

But wait, there’s more. If you look at that image carefully, you can see multiple tabs in the top left.  Within those you can customize weapons, and even the stance/poses.  The list goes on.  I’m sure there are tones of you that will dedicate your time to creating Ichigo all over again.

Though the online play was not available at the time of this writing, it remains to be seen if those horrible lag moments from Tekken V DR will rear their ugly heads.  You should expect them though, as the knife cutting buffer flow between cross country/continent online bouts will never go smoothly for some time.  Until then, the alternative will do nicely, and if not, see the video.
