Koei drops assets, plot details for Fist of the North Star Musou

Oct 14th 2009 2:09PM (Joystiq)
I have the NES cart of the original Fist of the North Star game, but I had found an unofficial translation online that was a lot better than the official release. It was better probably due to Nintendo's censoring things back then (example: The Baron stripper in Final Fantasy IV/II SNES)

Retailers to music game makers: We're out of room

Oct 22nd 2008 3:07PM (Joystiq)
They should make one set of universal instrument controllers and just focus on making money off of the games and downloadable content. My friend's mom works at the Bel Air, Maryland Target store and she had broke her ankle tripping over a pile of PS2 Guitar Hero 3 bundles. My local GameStop manager only orders 2 Rock Band bundles for each system at a time because he just doesn't have the room for them in the store.

Today's Dr. Phil tackles the 'virtual chaos' of game addiction

Oct 20th 2008 4:35PM (Joystiq)
I was watching Dr. Phil reruns over the summer and there was this one where a divorced father who had guardianship rights had gotten arrested for child neglect because he was addicted to playing MMORPGs on his PC and gaming consoles. One of the kids had told their teacher that they didn't have something to eat or money for lunch for weeks and the teacher had reported it to child welfare and a social worker checked into it and when the social worker showed up at the house, the father was playing World of Warcraft on a laptop in the living room. I have a gaming timer on my PC that will only allow me to play games on it for 20 minutes.

Development for StillAliveDS is ... continuing

I have downloaded it and it is a good game. I hope that the developer doesn't get sued by Michael Jackson for using his image without permission, though.

GameSpot posts official Gerstmann firing notice

Dec 5th 2007 12:00PM (Joystiq)
Companies use words like this all the time to get out of saying anything that could incriminate themselves. It's called Damage Control. If they told the truth, they would go out of business within a year or two. Companies will never admit to doing anything wrong 98% of the time. Drug companies hardly ever disclose that their drugs could be dangerous, it takes a 3rd party research study for the truth to come out. The higher ups would never fire themselves or resign for something that they did. They think that they handled the situation properly and that nobody else would handle it better. Now, Kotaku is reporting that GameSpot could see mass resignations as a result of Jeff Gerstmann's firing. Here is a link to that report:

Enough said.

Dragon Quest IV, V, VI remakes bound for DS

Jul 31st 2007 8:20AM (Joystiq)
I have been playing Dragon Quest V on an emulator for a while (there is a fan translation out there) and it is a pretty good game. The fan translation of Dragon Quest VI is incomplete, though.

OJ Simpson + All-Pro Football 2K8 mascot = Drama

Jul 30th 2007 10:35PM (Joystiq)
They shouldn't be dealing with a double murderer. Johnnie Cochran is probably burning in Hell for assisting in getting O.J. Simpson found not guilty in the criminal trial. He was kicked out of an upscale Kentucky steakhouse that he went to after attending the Kentucky Derby. Here is a link to the story:

They need to deal with retired players like Tony "The Goose" Siragusa or Jerome "The Bus" Bettis.
