Ninokuni PS3 Trailer

Written by pikaby

Hey, I didn't know they were both different games, this and the DS version. This means you could get both versions if you wanted to. Both are set in the same world, though I can see both stories connecting with each other. The PS3 version's even given a separate title from the DS one.

And it's one of the sweetest, most charming thing I've seen on PS3. The characters and monsters move fluidly, there's no need for animated cutscenes anymore. It's like you're playing a living, breathing cutscene! I sense a big seller in this PS3 version. But what of the DS one? I bet the PS3 won't have a packed-in spellbook.

Anyway, here's the trailer.

Adults spend more time playing a Wii than X360/PS3

Written by pikaby

Wait, what?

"The share of play on Wii…is higher than its share of ownership. Not only is purchase intent effectively that of the PS3 and Xbox 360 combined, but this shows that as many people plan on buying a Wii…as the 360…iPhone…iPod and iPod touch put together." - Reggie Fils-Aime

I got this off GoNintendo. Seems this research was done by a third party. Even I was surprised. I thought people would gear more towards the mature shooting games and such. But I guess those are only limited to the crazy jackasses on gaming websites and forums. (none in ours though. I keep them in line)

Ninokuni: The Another Platform

Written by pikaby

The latest Famitsu confirms the enigma surrounding the final bit of the original Ninokuni trailer (for the DS). 'For DS and Another Platform'. Well, shown on top in big shiny letters....there's our Another Platform- the PS3. Well wasn't that unexpected.

If the anime cutscenes looked nice on DS, just imagine what they'd be like in full HD! Man, I can't wait to see this without silly video codecs (Level-5 uses mobiclip, I think. Or ActImagine) getting in the way!

Dead Space Extraction to be released on PS3, X360?

It seemed like only yesterday that Dead Space Extraction was released. I was so looking forward to it....and then I forgot about it. Must be the excitement of playing Pokemon Platinum and Wii Sports Resort at the time. I'm guessing mostly everyone playing a Nintendo system (except for those who actually like shooters and own a Wii at the same time, which isn't the best combination ever) would prefer the same games as me over games like this. On-rails can be fun, but it just wasn't interesting enough for me. Or the rest of the casual gamers club.

Apparently EA Montreal understands that now. It seems more likely that it could be released in full HD on the consoles which the series originally made its debut, which seems fitting, and due to it's on-rails nature, carry a budget price tag. Found on NeoGAF.

Oh well, I was going to buy it when it came out but since the chance already passed by and I'm not really that into shooters, so be it then. PS3 and X360 owners will be happy.

Buildings modeled after Games Consoles

Written by pikaby

Once in a while something outrageous related to games pops up. Today it's massive. Some French magazine decided to dream up what a few popular games consoles would look like as real buildings. If you were President you could probably do this. If you had billions of dollars in bribes, a penchant for games and too much free time.

That DS one loos way too precarious though. Hopefully the top screen is well supported, else it'll fall off if an ogre decides to pick it up and slot in a giant concrete-made copy of New Super Mario Bros.

The DS as made out with bricks, tiles, glass, and a D-pad shaped helipad. Smug.

Another Nintendo homage! What's in the cartridge slot?

The only one which won't have engineers up in arms when asked about structure stability. A Wii would work fine too, mind.

Call of Duty: Black Ops

Written by pikaby

I wasn't expecting much out of Black Ops after Infinity Ward shattered to nought but a dead studio, but Activision is continuing development on a new CoD game. Why am I blogging about CoD when I have totally zero interest in it?

Because it surprised me that it's also coming out on the Wii alongside the PS3, X360 and PC versions...that makes all of us then. Oh come on- don't try not to be surprised- you know how the Wii always gets the shaft when it comes to games like this.

All versions will be out on November 9 this year.

Japanese sales chart still neck and neck

Written by pikaby

For the past three weeks now neither Sony nor Nintendo have had the upper hand on each other in terms of sales, although it's always been Sony pulling ahead by just a little every time. This is the 3rd week in a row which the console wars has been so evenly spread between the two.

Persona 5 all but Announced

Written by DG

Katsura Hashino, director of Persona 3 and 4 and the man responsible for the social link system in those games, has revealed that they are "preparing to start work on the next Persona." In an interview, Hashino stated "I want to add things that are being expected of the series, [but] I also want to change things that can be changed within those boundaries." Atlus at one point listed Shoji Meguro, composer for the previous two Persona games and so much more, as the producer. They have previously stated that when they do make the game, it will be for PS3.

'Wait, what's this doing here?'

Hey, I don't talk shop all the time, if anything in the world of gaming catches my interest I'll post it up. Although, I'll keep Nintendo as a focus, you can be sure of that.

Anyway the collective review scores from metacritic for Final Fantasy XIII, for the PS3...

Not the perfect Game of the Century after all, but still pretty good.
