Neat commercial depicting the “gathering” gameplay mechanic and its usefulness in game.

What if Pokemon were all cosplaying girls?

Seems like this was the question in an Poke-artist’s (sure why not call them that), as they transformed all 493 Pokemon into cosplaying girls. Its a little dated as there are no new Pokemon from the Black and White versions on the DS ( this was made in 2008). Nonetheless, perhaps this will inspire a new meaning to the phrase Gotta Catch ’em All.

Nintendo Keeps the Wii-Streak Going for 2011

Looks like the Wii will have more than Zelda Skyward Sword and more Japanese titles released in 2011. With plans to release new games for their Pokemon and Kirby(quick teaser for Kirby game here)  franchises. Nintendo has set up a teaser site for a new original IP on the Wii for 2011 currently titled “Pandora’s Tower”(link here) Good to see that Nintendo still seems to be supporting the Wii through 2011, now if they could just localize some more of those Japan only games.

Earth Seeker Trailer


Earth Seeker seems to be yet another intriguing JRPG coming to the Wii from Japan in April. Footage from the trailer suggests that this game will have a more cartoony/anime graphic style.

Why The Last Story may not be localized

Last Story may not be localized, and if it is it likely won’t be for awhile as Nintendo’s teams are busy with many other projects at the time and the large amount of story and text would take time to edit, translate and or subtitle and or dub into other languages for localization. As a heads up to them from me, do they realize that many gamers these days are fine with the Japanese audio with English subtitles, most who would want this game over here would actually rather they keep the game with Japanese audio, i.e. importers/purists. In other words  the people who would want this game anyways.
