Wario: Master of Disguise DS US Box Art

Thursday, January 11th, 2007

Wario Ware: Sooooth the Groooove. m

Since the appalling movie, most publicists have been encouraging their product designers to steer clear of designing a product that simply had to be called ‘Master of Disguise‘. Nintendo didn’t give a rats what the publicists thought, and have released the latest DS Wario title with the forbidden name. Mehk.

This is more US boxart, the latest in a swarm of artwork released recently.

*Unfounded Rumour* Square Enix to Sell Two Franchises

Thursday, January 11th, 2007

Square Enix, formerly Sony guarantor for qualitative worth development preserve recently this consideration. Additionally we could experience from industrialnear circles that the Japanese developer will sell two play rows of his extensive LINE Ups in the next months. Which series it concerns thereby and who the buyers are, remains up to now unclearly.

The above was an English translation of Wunderlampe.de. What it roughly translates as is, Square Enix is expected to sell two major franchises in the next two months. Which ones? Heaven knows. Could it be The Universe of Mana? Chrono? Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest or god forbid Final Fantasy?

If the random rumor proves to be accurate, then whatever the outcome, a small portion of the gaming world is going to feel betrayed. [Personally, I hope it is Kingdom Hearts!]

Kickass Game of 2007

Could Hotel Dusk Room 215 be the runaway DS success of 2007? It’s certainly got the cool factor down, as you can see in this newly released US boxart. Will it apply the same level of cool to all of its characteristics?

Extreme Virgin Kuwait Wii Prices

Rather Expensive Toys

Feeling a hole in your pocket from all the extra Wii accessories? Well feel bad for Kuwaiti’s, prices for a Nintendo Wii from a Virgin Megastore are more than you’d expect to pay for a USD. And a window clean from the college guy at the lights on the way home from the store.

Virgin is charging a massive 299KD for a Nintendo Wii. That’s a little over one thousand US dollars. An additional Wiimote and Nunchuk? Will set you back a cool $155 USD each. Yep, you could buy a Nintendo Wii in most countries for the price you pay in Kuwait for a single controller set.

Well this sucks. Sorry 1up!
Aww nuts. We kinda wanted it to be true. It would have been exciting n’ all. The emotion is making me type all Forrest Gump-y. Ziff Davies threw an email over to Destructoid to say that Dell hadn’t purchased 1up.com. Dang.

Parents Hot Footing Over Wii Porn

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

The return of the bright red text
For Laurn Schroeder, protecting her first grade girls is a priority. “[They’re] innocent, and we want to try and keep them that way,” she said.

But maybe not so innocent…

But because the Wii, the PS3 and other game consoles have Internet access, it’s easy for kids to access porn.

It’s easy to avoid porn as a kid these days. Heck, thanks to proxies with inbuilt nanny systems and sites such as Yahooligans!, showing your children an internet without pornography is easy-cakes.

Lady, supervise your children when they are in a situation where they might access foul materials, and you will be all set for a family friendly Wii web browsing experience.

Hardcore Sony Art

Every now and then there is a website article that stands out from all the mismatched patchwork of random that makes up the internet. This one, is simple. Its just a chronological time line of Sony’s mistakes in recent times.

From sinking Lik-Sang to labeling the Wii ‘more fun‘, all of the great moments over the last few months are listed with links to relevant articles.

View the time line here

Kudos to Sony though, their attitude despite all the negative media directed to them is upbeat. Well, either its an incredibly resilient mood, or perhaps Sony just took articles like Analyst: “I cannot imagine a PlayStation 4″ with a sense of smugness, knowing that evenĀ  the most intelligent beings couldn’t fathom how insanely brilliant the PS4 is going to be.
