I absolutely loved playing Sega’s FEEL THE MAGIC on the DS, and even though I haven’t played the sequel yet (WHERE DO BABIES COME FROM?), being able to play it on your mobile phone — even if for now you’re limited to one mini-game — sounds great, and the simple graphics of the game should…

While I anxiously await to see what crazy stunt Takeshi Okamura will perform during his annual year-end TV special (last year was pretty damn classic), I guess I can start trying to best his MARIO KART DS times. Japanese comedians Takeshi Okamura and Hiroyuki Yabe not content to be Mario and Luigi in commercials have…

I’m a huge fan of the RIDGE RACER series, and played the hell out of the PSP version. I had no idea it was such a low-seller in the US. Namco’s Ridge Racer 6 is the lowest selling Xbox 360 game in America selling only 9,091 units. By comparison the highest selling title, Call of…

A Google clip showing Nintendo’s upcoming console, code-named Revolution, in action. Man, I can’t wait to start playing with that thing!

The Xbox 360 launch is today, and Kotaku has a few pics from last night’s launch party at the Aoyama Xbox Lounge. Yuko was just telling me that they’re reporting huge line-ups at game shops for the system, so looks like this launch is at least going to beat the last Xbox’s rollout. If you’re…

As I mentioned yesterday, we’re having another gaming session at Cafe Pause tomorrow (Saturday). We’ll meet up at around 16:00, PSP and DS in hand, with a whole bunch of games (including GTA and MARIO KART DS) to try out. Everyone is of course welcome to join in the fun. Update: I like how Paul…
