Nintendo needs to announce some release dates for Mario Kart and Wii Fit. Really.

Really really.

One in May, one in June is my guess.

Should be interesting. I played something like that except the enemies carry signs of kanji and you have to write the pronunciation or you die. :lol

* Saving Attack:
これで勝負が一気に決まる、というクリティカルなスパイスにしたいとは思っていない
「スト3」シリーズのブロッキングとは違う、「スト4」ならではの攻めのスパイス
* Ultra Combo
Even bigger fireworks than a super combo

Wait wait they will have a full version of the game on Arcade by summer!?!?

Wow... English of the Dead could turn out as good as Typing of the Dead. :lol

Mario Kart Wii sounds solid, as does Everybody's Common Sense TV. Does anybody have the LTDs of Mario Kart DS and Common Sense Training DS in Japan to see what we could potentially get sales-wise?

MK DS is around 2.8 million and I believe CST is at around 1.3?

DAY ONE.
 
What's so funny about English of the Dead? It sounds awesome, and isn't that much different of a title than Typing of the Dead.

Then again, hating Sega is so cool these days so any new game coming out from them automatically warrants a :lol.
 
Also, great news about the MK release date, Japan got stung with MK: DS :( Both the United States Of Imperial Units and Euroland beat us to the game... I believe Japan had to wait an extra week, A WHOLE WEEK.

I give them credit for supreme creativity not seen since (and very much resembling) Spanish for Everyone. Not sarcasm or an attack. Honestly.

It's funny because it's a wacky-as-hell idea. I love it because it's a wacky-as-hell idea, though.

Are we talking pics of these characters, because we already pretty much knew the old school characters were going to be in it? I guess the part about a Japanese arcade release this summer is new.

The final boss' attack is the word "rollercoaster". There are also interactive cut scenes where you must say "hello" to the love interest "Lala".

Hm... I think the last figures we had for Mario Kart DS gave us an LTD that was nearing 3 million. For Common Sense Training DS, I think it's done around 1.5 million.

Maybe these (Mario Kart DS moreso) will help in the revitalization of the console game's sales. It worked for Super Mario Galaxy. I can see both of these games doing a million, but Mario Kart Wii is more guaranteed.

Oh please Nintendo do what you have NEVER done and hurry up the damn localization so this can be in Europe by Winter. Hopefully we'll see something about this soon.

lol Burn the Fat Training

Why, lol?

I think the guy that noticed more and more fat Japanese women and decided to be pro-active about stopping it from growing deserves a medal. The Wii Fit designer too. If only we had those geniuses in the states before fatassery become an epidemic.

It's good to know that there are still a few complete nutjobs at Sega capable of getting a game made.

Poison Pink review
About 15 hours per protag
100 hours to do it as

* Dark atmosphere feels good
* Main characters have seperate stories; playable at least three times
* Don't get the whole story by one clear
&#12539;&#12420;&#12426;&#12371;&#12415;&#35201;&#32032;&#12364;&#12462;&#12483;&#12481;&#12522;&#35440;&#12414;&#12387;&#12383;&#20869;&#23481;
* A bit tough for new players, especially as bosses run away if you take too long
* Fun to develop own strategies
* Don't beat the demons, and you can do less in town. Eventually there's no return
* Single plays are short but there's a lot of forks
* Not really innovative, but delivers on what it promises
* Hard to see some info, hard to change skills and gear. Interface is ehh
