It looks like the highly anticipated Fire Emblem: Awakening has slept in a little late. It seems buyers in various areas of the country have been notified of the delay as they went to pick up copies of the game, varying from Best Buy to GameStop and beyond. Most stores are claiming it’s just a small delay, as they’re likely receiving their shipments...

If you hadn’t noticed Cocoto Alien Brick Breaker on the 3DS eShop, you’re not really to blame. The handheld’s digital platform often comes across as if it were in its infancy, with sparse, and largely forgettable, releases. Nintendo’s dedication to releasing their flagship titles on the platform as digital downloads was a step in the...

Not content in revealing launch info for Killer is Dead, XSEED has publicized their entire current 2013 lineup. It consists of games that probably wouldn’t be coming out in the West without the publishing support of XSEED, so fans of niche Japanese games and deprived Vita owners might want to give thanks. This summer, Rune Factory 4 is set to hit the...

It’s happened a thousand times before: some awesome game is announced, hyped beyond no end, and then never sees the light of day outside of Japan. Sometimes consumers can sway the ebb and flow of fate, such as Operation Rainfall’s renowned success; other times, it’s simply a lost cause, and you’re stuck emulating or learning a new...

It’s almost unbelievable, but the intriguing franchise mashup from some of Japan’s biggest publishers is somehow making its way overseas to North American & European (Australia too!) audiences.

If you’re the owner of a shiny new Wii U, you’re no doubt wondering where all the games are at that were supposed to be coming “early 2013.” The release schedule for the year has been oddly silent and overly ambiguous when games did have some sort of release, so it’s comforting to see that Nintendo has clarified its plans for the...

By mid-February, Japan’s favorite company will be undergoing some relatively drastic changes. Nintendo’s independent console and handheld divisions will soon be shuffled into one conglomerate all into a new multi-million dollar building located near the headquarters of the Big N. This restructuring is meant to held unify the development of...

Behold, the blooming of a new gaming fad! Disney Infinity was officially revealed to the masses for the first time today, and it’s exactly like what all of those leaked details proclaimed it would be. The short answer? Pretty much a Disney Skylanders. The longer answer just clears that up a bit. The game takes plastic figures and interjects them into the...

You might not believe it from the trailer above, but Nintendo has unveiled the latest entry in the Pokemon series: X & Y. The game is fully 3D, and reflects that by harnessing a brand-new visual style, camera angles, and more. The battle system looks much more vivid and dynamic as well, though you can probably expect the core gameplay to remain more or less...

Nintendo hasn’t really been known for their online adeptness, though the company is aiming to change that image with their latest console’s innovative features, namely Miiverse. It seems that the Big N has something more traditional in mind, however: a free-to-play model. Iwata recently stated to a Japanese newspaper that the industry “can now...
