Card Hero, Magical Drop hit DSiWare in Japan next week
Nintendo has announced a bunch of new DSiWare games headed for Japan next week. Most notable among them is a stripped-down battle game based on Intelligent Systems' Kousoku Battle Card Hero. Card Hero Speed Battle Custom includes one-on-one card battling against CPU, local wireless, and online oppon...
Famitsu piles on the Phantom Hourglass love
Lists: they're freaking well everywhere. Lists of the best games, of the worst games, of the worst boxart, of games to watch, of the best NES games, of the most kid-friendly games, lists of the greatest lists. But what's that? You want more lists? You're insane! But Famitsu hears you! The venerable ...
Card Hero booster packs: gotta catch 'em all on video!
Nintendo just put a video up on touch-ds.jp showing all 130 cards available in Card Hero's in-game store. Within the game, it's possible to purchase "booster packs" of three cards, which can then be opened on the bottom screen. Many of these cards are rare in the game -- that's even rarer than the r...
Card Hero screens for some reason!
We don't exactly know why a bunch of screens of Intelligent Systems' currently-Japan-only Card Hero showed up on the UK press assets site GamesPress. The game hasn't been announced for release outside of Japan or anything; these screenshots are clearly Japanese (we can tell from the words on them), ...
Another week in Japan: Hardware and software numbers 12/17-12/23
Another week in Japan has come and gone, which means yet another week of ridiculous success for the DS. The hardware managed to top 300k for the week, while heavy hitters like Final Fantasy IV, Dragon Quest IV, and Mario Party DS littered the top ten in the software charts. It was also a good week f...
Card Hero trailer gets us totally pumped about cards
We think card-based video games are pretty inherently hilarious on their own, in that they use expensive, cutting-edge electronics to simulate small pieces of paper. There are, of course, advantages to this approach (online play, computer-governed rules) but it's funny on a very fundamental ...
Card Hero: Screens from a game about a game within a game
If you were hoping for a peek at some of the actual screens featured in last month's magazine article on Kousoku Card Battle Card Hero, then today may just be your lucky day. In our freshly updated gallery below, you can get a closer look at Intelligent Systems' follow-up to the GBC strategy title, ...
RPG magazine scan time: DQIV, Card Hero, Soma Bringer
It's time again to reap the bounty from, uh, some dude with a scanner and access to Japanese magazines! Three games are shown off in today's crop (to continue the farming metaphor for some reason), all RPGs of various kinds. Most interesting (to us) is the first real blowout of images from Intellige...
Card Hero: Intelligent Systems' other strategy game
Intelligent Systems is busy. We assume they're working on the Fire Emblem remake that we just now heard about, as well as any finishing touches that may need to go on the Wii Fire Emblem game. They're also in the midst of Advance Wars DS 2 development. But apparently that's not enough for the former...
