Yesterday was a Super Street Fighter IV event in Hamburg, Germany. Capcom invited press and some players from the German community to meet Yoshinori Ono, the producer of the game. Of course I went there too. This happened: I played a mat...

Pikachu (ピカチュウ Pikachū?) is one of the fictional species of Pok�mon creatures from the Pok�mon media franchise�a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards, and other media created...

December 2008 the Sega released a Chunsoft developed visual Novel for the Nintendo Wii. Surprisingly the game was loved by game critics in Japan with Famitsu giving it a perfect score of 40/40. Sadly that was the only news about the game t...

Well it was pretty nice of Mike Kennedy from Vogster to post five free download codes on the official European Playstation Blog for Unbound Saga, that is finally getting a digital release in Europe. Only that it actually wasn't. On PSN y...

OK?! This just happened: A FUCKING WALKING SIMULATOR! I guess if you are afraid to leave the house, this would be for you. Although the Eurobeat song at the end totally sold me on this game. BONUS GAME IDEAS FOR KONAMI: BREATH IT OUT! POO...

If you are a Nintendo DS owner, you either have already played or should go and play Hotel Dusk. It's a fantastic adventure game with an incredible story and rather interesting puzzles. A little less known is the first adventure Developer ...

Seriously everyone at Konami just go and kill yourself. After 11 years you finally decided to bring my favorite game series over to the US and decided to turn it into an abomination like this: First the news about Pop'n Music moving over t...

With this I am starting a series of blog posts about RPG dungeons. While playing Eternal Sonata I realised, that almost every dungeon in that game is shit and I came up with the idea of rating every dungeon in a game on a 1-5 star scale wi...

I wasn't expecting too much from the Noby Noby Boy multiplayer update and was really surprised to see that much added to the game. Of course there is offline multiplayer for up to four people, but there are also different BGMs for differe...

Finally my favorite RPG has made it to the Japanese PlayStationStore. Grandia has the best battle system ever and a very cute story without moping emo main characters. Full list of game archives additions this week: Grandia Langrisser I&I...

With some folks here on Destructoid I'm doing this project of playing Persona 3 alongside the in-game calendar. Unluckily a project like this is sometimes a bit difficult with a game like Persona 3, because there are quite a few breaks in t...

If action films are my gaming bread and butter, then action-adventures are the video game equivalent -- I love everything about them from the trademark running around and collecting things for people to the well developed storylines. As yo...

I have already posted about this yesterday and today it already begins at midnight! So if you are crazy like me, load up your copy of Persona 3 in the middle of the night and start playing your first day. Afterwards talk about it in the fo...

Two weeks ago I asked in the forums if anybody would love to participate in a simultaniously playthrough of Persona 3 on a daily or weekly basis. So if you don't read the forums or missed the thread, here's what I wrote: After watching...

I was actually really excited about White Knight Chronicles and could not wait to get my hands on the game. Although the game was released at the end of December last year, I only got it at the end of February, because the friend, who was ...

Yes, I know. You have all been waiting for this "game". It's 2000 Yen, which is certainly way too much money for a simple dress up thing. Apparently in the future dress will be supported by home, so you can actually wear the stuff from dres...

After posting last week I started with Lost Odyssey which is a great game. Unlike Blue Dragon this game actually felt like a Final Fantasy game. I really enjoyed the game from start to finish (although I still have some side quests left), b...

After last week with no update at all. We actually get two new games. And also new QORE: Qoretastic may be one of the worst words ever. JAPAN: Jan 5th: * Naruto trailer Jan 8th: * Cross Edge custom themes (will they ever stop?) * BIOSHO...

From money I got for christmas I went and bought myself a 360. After updating the system for quite a while (well still shorter than updating a PS3), I created an avatar, that looks nothing like me and went ahead and downloaded myself Braid...

Over at Kotaku they posted a list of the Japan's Best And Worst Sellers By Platform and looking over the list totally broke my heart, because my favorite Wii game of 2008 Happy Dance Collection apparently only sold 5.000 copies. With only ...

Damn! There is no home. Although Christina Lee said so on Pulse! It won't be out next week, but they promise it will be out this month. It better be or Sony ruined my xmas. ...also home, but nobody should care about that. JAPAN December ...

On December 11th there will be a addon available for the PS3 version of echochrome on the Japanese PSN with 1000 levels for free. 1000 user generated levels that is. As of now there are no news if they will become available outside of Japa...

Unlike the western PSN stores the Japanese PSN gets biweekly PSOne classic updates in the Game Archives. This week there are another five games, that are some pretty nice additions to the line-up. 1. Silver Jiken - The Silver Case Goichi ...

Do you remember Pixeljunk Eden for the PSN? Of course you do. Same time the patch for Monsters, that added trophies and difficulty levels, was announced, they also announced that there will be a patch or expansion for Eden, that adds diffe...

Not too long ago I finally went back and finished Ryu ga Gotoku: Kenzan!, that I picked up during my vacation in Japan this summer. Up until playing the game my experience with the Yakuza series was about 10 minutes of the first game I play...
