Nintendo's new spokesman is cute, famous, a dog

Feb 8th 2012 1:32PM (Joystiq)

I don't know about this dog. I'm seeing an ulterior motive in his eyes... or maybe an Atari logo in his tongue.

Sony patented Wii U-esque controller, has pics to prove it

Feb 3rd 2012 8:48PM (Joystiq)

I wonder what these mock-ups looked like with CRT monitors...

Club Nintendo card case is worth the fake money

Feb 2nd 2012 8:49PM (Joystiq)

Well, I'll be. Cashola, eh?

Haha, no this is actually very nice. I love functionality in design and this is just drenched in it.

Not to mention the fact that it's slim and holds a reasonable amount of games. My current DS case holds six and is about the size of a DSLite. It may be time to update!

Sid Meier: modern graphics have lowered the barriers of entry to gaming

Wow. Definitely something to chew on in this. Especially the notion of imagination. In order to reach a wider audience, you have to pander and hand-hold them into "imagination".

With that I gotta say, my parents have actually pulled away from gaming as the graphics quality grew. The days of watching them play Strider, Gradius, Street Fighter, and Sonic have long since been over and I don't see them picking up the newer incarnations of these titles anytime soon.

Ben Heck invents controller-mounted Hot Pocket holder

While I am saddened and horrified by this invention, it is an invention nonetheless. The true evil here is Hot Pockets.

P.S. Thank you, ad-blocker, for another ad-free romp on the internet! You look out for me when no one else does. I truly thank you.

Monster Hunter Tri-G tops 1 million sold in Japan

Good on ya, Capcom. This is the kind of news that makes me as proud as a Grandpa.

Japanese game market saw overall declines in 2011, 3DS was top seller

Nintendo is business, first and foremost. Just look at Iwata. I always think Men in Black when I see that man. Quietly saving the world while taking absolutely no real credit. He's serious business and hey, all the more power to `em.

Remembering an underappreciated JRPG trilogy

@stalepie

Is it used that often? Honestly, this is the first time I've seen it in relation to video game news (see it all the time in science news, ugh). Then again, there's Populous and Black & White but I think that's the point of those games. It's a genre.

Remembering an underappreciated JRPG trilogy

Thank god these titles are appreciated. They are seriously wonderful and super fleshed-out. Illusion of Gaia is a bloody pain! But I gotta add, Last Bible III for the Super Famicom/SNES. I think it's a spin-off from the Shin Megami Tensei series. Please play this game, don't be intimidated by the massive amounts of Japanese. Beautiful in graphics and sound, it is definitely one of my favourite JRPGs ever.

@Milak
