Facebook, the latest social-networking tool may very well cause you to choose it over free games ^^”.
The latest firmware update, 1.4 allows users to have direct Facebook photo uploading.

This latest DSi update seems to have once again nixed piracy devices for the DSi. According to one Japanese site, the update makes it impossible to use the following cartridges: DSTTi, Hyper R4i, ak2i, R4 Ui, R4i Gold, EZ Vi. [Kotaku]
I know I’m not a fan of those social networking tools since I can’t concentrate on so many(facebook is still a …

I know one of the many reasons why people considering going to purchase R4 for their own Nintendo DS sets – the hassle of bringing the game out and changing it. Now it is possible to bring a maximum of three games around, with the Blaze 3-in-1 Game Selector.

Working like a switchbox, the device replicates the cartridge slot of your DS and clips to the back of your handheld, allowing you to insert three DS carts at once. A small lead then runs from the device to your DS’s actual …

So vending machine has cameras.. What do we have now? Vending Machines selling items to “hack” your own Nintendo DSL/DSi!
At just 8,000 yen, you can buy a R4 for your own Nintendo DS.

Check the words on the button of the vending machine(I know it’s small but..) – you can see that it’s SOLD OUT XD.
8,000 yen is expensive, I can probably get one here at half the price, that is if I ever get to find one. Haha. Shops are very secretive when selling illegal items. Because piracy is a …

I was under the impression that there were at least two main elements of what makes a game of a video game… 1.) To be entertained, and 2.) To be challenging on some level. But apparently Nintendo thinks other wise and is planning a new system for more casual gamers that can bypass the whole “Challenging aspect.”
Earlier this year, a Nintendo patent came to light that described a function that would allow players to “skip” parts of the game they found difficult. This system eases the pain of completing a …

With all the anticipation for new announcements at E3 I nearly forgot to check about updates on games I already know about, like the beautiful Murasama the Demon Blade for the Wii which is expected to be released in the US this September (Just in time for my Birthday! =D).
You can control either the young princess Momohime or the young ninja Kisuke journeying across Japan beating the crap out of armies and demons based on Japanese mythology.  Disregarding the plot the artwork for the game is AMAZING, and the fighting …

What do you get when you mix Wario Ware, Mario Paint, And RPG Maker? Apparently the new Wario Ware game “Made in Ore.” (Horrible Engrish? Meaning “Made Myself.”, I believe the official English title Will just be “Myself“) For those of you who have not played Wario Ware games before they are a mixture short short addictive mini games (literally 10 seconds or less) that you play on a timer. These games are the most random things you can think of… like picking someone’s nose or unrolling a roll of …

Read an interesting article over at Danny Choo about how there are protests to the jury system being included in the Japanese legal system. I’m not familiar with Japanese law (or the American Legal system outside of Judge Judy and Law and Order), so I didn’t realize there wasn’t a jury system in Japan until this. And then suddenly it hit me….There’s no jury in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney!!! No wonder innocent people kept getting indicted by an old fart who you could probably bribe with cake. Instead of a …

Was reading video game news this morning and I came across something depressing over at Kotaku. Apparently a fanmade Chrono Trigger Project had been in the work for the last five years, and right before they were about to release it Square Enix started giving them legal threats.

 Above is a preview of the fan sequal.I’m all for being legally legit… But for Square Enix to stay silent for 5 years and then clamp down on them is really a shame after all that work they must have put into it. …

When I heard a few months ago that Chrono Trigger was coming out for the DS I knew I had to buy it… I still have The Super Nintendo Version, and the PlayStation One Version. Chrono Trigger is a game you can never have too much of… (That and my SNES controllers are starting to fail and my PS1 and 2 are having trouble reading disks latelyxD).
Chrono Trigger was origenally made in 1995 by Square for the Super Nintendo – that means I was probably 8 years old when I …
