It’s been seven years since we got a new entry in the Mario Tennis franchise, but the developers at Camelot are bringing the series back to the spotlight with Mario Tennis Open for the Nintendo 3DS. The game will hit store shelves on May 20, and based on my recent demo, it’s clear that Mario Tennis is coming back with a vengeance.
I got my first taste of Mario Tennis Open at this year’s Game Developer’s Conference, but my recent demo revealed several new tricks Open has up...

We were doubtful it would ever happen – but it seems the Japanese gaming gods have smiled down on us stateside gamers once more. No, no news on Pandora’s Tower – but we did find out today that the Japanese strategy RPG crossover Pokemon + Nobunaga’s Ambition will be coming to the U.S. as Pokemon Conquest.
The game is an insane/insanely awesome crossover between the popular Pokemon series and Tecmo Koei’s strategy series, Nobunaga’s Ambition. It will feature turn-based,...

Media Create’s weekly sales charts have been released, chronicling how the Japanese game industry is doing. Translated by Andriasang, the data, covering the week spanning from March 26th through April 1st, continues to paint a great picture for Nintendo while painting an equally poor picture for Sony.
Kingdom Hearts 3D and Kid Icarus Uprising were the two games primarily responsible for Nintendo 3DS’ huge sales. On the backs of those games (as well as others), Nintendo sold 121,921 Nintendo...

Nintendo made a lot of Pokemon fans happy this morning with the confirmation that the DS game Pokemon Conquest will be getting a U.S. release on June 18, 2012. If that title sounds unfamiliar to you, it’s probably because you already know it as Pokemon x Nobunaga’s Ambition.

Rhythm Thief and the Emperor’s Treasure review
Posted by IGN on Apr 04, 2012 | Leave a Comment
There’s something poignant about the timing of Rhythm Thief’s release, arriving as it does while SEGA suffers its worst financial crisis since the demise of the Dreamcast. With the publisher cancelling a number of future projects, investing only in sure-fire moneyspinners, this is exactly the kind of title that might not ordinarily have survived such a cull.
That would be a shame. Rhythm Thief may be something of a niche proposition, but it’s a fine and original idea. Outside the...
