General Gaming / Demons' Score
« on: September 12, 2012, 05:38:01 PM »
Has anyone hear of this game? It's supposed to be out on Android devices sometime soon and later on iOS. It's basically a spiritual sequel to Ouendan/Elite Beat Agents as it's made by the same development studio, iNiS. It's just published by Square Enix.
Here's a link to an article on Joystiq with more info about it and the bands that will be contributing their music to it. There is a video in the link too. Here's the article for the lazy:
This gets me excited. Even though I know it will have the Square Enix tax, I will probably splurge for this one.

Square Enix is showing off Demons' Score, from Ouendan developer iNiS, on a brand new site. We now know the rhythm action game, coming to iOS and Android, features music from an illustrious group of Japanese game composers. Those confirmed so far include Naoshi Mizuta (Final Fantasy XI), Keiichi Okabe (Nier), Yoko Shimomura (Kingdom Hearts series), and two members of Taito's 'house band' Zuntata.
There's also more background on Demons' Score's story and mechanics. The protagonist, Serenity, is "your average college girl" who suddenly finds herself attacked by demons after meeting a talking bear. As your average college girl often does. Luckily, Serenity is able to let demons possess her and then control them to her advantage, all thanks to the Demon's Score smartphone app given to her by her missing father (we're not making this up).
All that nonsense aside, the story explains what we saw at E3. Not only does each demon transform Serenity's look, but each one also has its own rocking music track from one of the composers. Astaroth, for example, transforms Serenity into a blue-haired knight, and comes with music composed by Kohei Tanaka (Sakura Wars series). The other demons apparently don't come with as much outerwear.
While the action is on-rails, the game plays like iNiS' Ouendan and Elite Beat Agents (as the above video shows). In short, players must tap, hold, and slide to the song's beat. Mistakes make Serenity take some damage, while tap well enough and she'll 'level up.' If you're a bit lost at this point, think of Elite Beat Agents mixed with a demonic version of Final Fantasy X-2's 'dresspheres', and you're there.
As the English dialogue in the above video suggests, the game is coming to our shores at some point. Square's Japanese site proclaims an Autumn window for Android and a 'coming soon' for iOS. In the meantime, you can hop over there to check out some of the game's upcoming music.
This gets me excited. Even though I know it will have the Square Enix tax, I will probably splurge for this one.

Nintendo DSi drops to $100, DSi XL drops to $130 on May 20th By Mat Smithposted May 10th 2012 2:15PM
Three-dimensional gaming not your thing? Then Nintendo's latest price drop might just grab you. It's cast an eye over the rest of its portable gaming family and decided to cut the cost on both the DSi (down to $100) and the hulking DSi XL (dropped to $130). These new prices will kick off on May 20th -- exactly the same day as this purple mess.
I may actually get one now that the price is this low.

Nintendo Gaming / Sakura Wars (Taisen) V coming to the Wii in the US.
« on: July 06, 2009, 02:17:45 AM »
Hello all,
I was at the NIS America panel at Anime Expo today at 2pm and the very first thing they announced was that they were bringing Sakura Wars 5 to the US on both PS2 and the Wii. They will be releasing it on 2 discs, one for the English dub and one for the Japanese dub. Both discs will be in the same package.
The game is supposed to be released simultaneously on both systems this fall or winter.
I specifically asked if they plan to release other games in the series if this one does well. They mentioned the possibility of three and four but one and two are unlikely because of the age. It's also unknown if they'll release those for the Wii if they decide to release them.
They are removing the number from the game and just having a subtitle for it, though I forget what the subtitle was.
OT:
Also, for those Disgaea 3 owners on the PS3, a trophies patch is coming on July 16th that will bring trophies to D3, though your save file may not be compatible with the patch so you might have to start from scratch.

Nintendo Gaming / Brain Age 2 problem.
« on: September 19, 2007, 07:56:01 AM »
I have been playing Brain Age 2 for nearly a month and have now noticed a problem with stylus calibration in the upper right corner of the screen. It's happening in all the exercises as well as in sudoku. When I put the stylus on the screen in the upper right corner, the game registers the stylus point slightly higher than where it is on the screen. If I move it to the left or down to the bottom, it is in the correct position.
Anyone else having this problem or is it just me? I only ask because I was at Target two days before the game released and tried out BA2 on the kiosk DS and it was doing the same thing. I wrote that off as being a demo version and not the final game. But now my game is doing it. I think it may have been doing it all along because I'd constantly hit one box above in sudoku and get very frustrated about it, but didn't think anything was wrong until I noticed it while making acrostics.

Nintendo Gaming / Assist Trophy Discussion and Speculation
« on: August 14, 2007, 06:53:06 AM »
Here's where we put all our discussion on known assist trophies and we pull out our speculation on what could or what we hope will be included.
I would first like to say that the Devil is an awesome AT and I can't wait to see the laughs that will ensue when he is pulled out for use.
That said, I'm hoping for a Tingle assist trophy that does stupid stuff like fly across the screen on balloons and if you are able to pop his balloons he'll fall to the ground and start wiggling his behind like the fruity Tingle he is. If your character gets close to him, you get mesmerized for a short period and another character has a free chance to smack you around.

Nintendo Gaming / Golden Sun for the DS is coming!!!
« on: July 11, 2007, 12:55:27 PM »
It was shown in a type of secret way but joystiq has some pics of it.
Here's the link to the story.
I don't know about others, but I am super excited about this. While I was hoping for a Wii incarnation of this franchise, a DS sequel is the next best thing.

Nintendo Gaming / Sega shifting majority of dev. from PSP to DS
« on: February 23, 2007, 08:11:29 AM »Quote
- Nikkei News reported that Sega is planning to shift its game development resource from PSP to Nintendo DS in 2007.

Scroll down a bit to the DS news on 2/22/07 to find it.
So they are actually wising up now. ABout time, only Konami and Capcom left to jump fully. Capcom will never do it as long as they have the attitude that the DS is kiddie though.

Nintendo Gaming / Anime Expo and the DS
« on: July 07, 2006, 11:45:19 AM »
It was great this year. There were DS's and DSL's in lines all over the place. Last year, I only saw PSPs. This year, I only saw DS's. The only part that upset me was that I forgot to pack my charger and only had about 10 hours of play with my sexy DSL. 
It's nice to see that the DS is definitely more popular, at least in the anime crowd and I'm guessing it'll take over the general public soon as well.

Nintendo Gaming / Hudson jumping on the VC
« on: May 11, 2006, 05:48:09 PM »
They pledge at least 100 games.
Sounds like the VC is going to be huge. You know Nintendo will want more games on their VC than the other two, so Nintendo will likely have more than 100 games to start off. This is pretty cool.

Nintendo Gaming / Wii Recommended by Microsoft
« on: May 11, 2006, 11:29:27 AM »
Here's the article.
Looks like they are trying everything to overthrow Sony this next gen., including supporting another competitor. I guess they may believe that Nintendo will succeed with their non-gamer strategy or something.

Nintendo Gaming / A successful Revolution Launch lineup.
« on: February 04, 2006, 01:05:13 AM »
I think Nintendo has the potential to have a great launch in both Japan and the US(don't really know about Europe at this point). They do need some key launch titles though IMO.
For Japan, I think they need at LEAST these three games:
Brain Training Revolution
Super Smash Brothers Online
Animal Forest Online
At least these with Nintendo Wifi Connection already in effect at launch plus a few third party games would ensure a success at launch I think.
For the US, it's a little harder. I'd say at least:
Super Smash Brothers Online
Mario Revolution
Zelda:TP (I know a GC game but with forwards compatability, it's a near Rev game)
Possibly Metroid Prime 3
At least 15 more third party games
Plus Nintendo Wifi Connection in effect at launch.
It is really hard to predict the US launch with the mood in the country on gaming focused on Xbox360 and PS3, but I still think Nintendo can do it with at least these things.
What do you all think?
