Square Enix "Would Love To" Bring Dragon Quest X To America
More Dragon Quest information coming out of PAX. Man, Siliconera must have grilled Dragon Quest Executive Producer Yuu Miyake and Mobile Producer Noriyoshi Fujimoto to get this much information. Today’s comments revolve around yet another game that hasn’t been localized in the West, the MMORPG Dragon Quest X. Unlike the Dragon Quest VII 3DS remake and Rocket Slime 3, which would merely...
New Hyrule Warriors Screenshots Introduce Lana and Other Familiar Faces
We get it Nintendo! You really want us to buy Hyrule Warriors! An entire week of daily trailers and screenshots certainly put the game on the forefront of a lot of Nintendo fans’ minds. Good job, but naturally there is room for one more batch of screenshots, right? Absolutely! Nintendo has fifty more screenshots to cap a busy week of hype, this time introducing a few more playable...
Why The Legend of Zelda: The Skyward Sword Will Become The Series' Next Outcast
If I were to ask for the outcast of Nintendo’s beloved Legend of Zelda series, I am pretty sure I would get an overwhelming and nearly unanimous reply of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. I’m sure I’d get a Majora’s Mask here and there from a few responses, and possibly a reference to the Philips CD-i games from a few jerks, but by and large Zelda II is always treated as a separate but...
EA Shutting Down Over 50 Multiplayer Games On June 30th
EA has announced its intentions through its support page to shut down over 50 aging games to make more resources available for newer ones. The list of games includes some pretty big titles as well, meaning that these aren't some random gathering of games you've never heard of. Chances are you've enjoyed one of these games in the past, and as long as you're a PC gamer, you're never going...
Nintendo Knows 100k Signatures on a Petition Does Not Equal 100k Buys
Operation Rainfall was a fan made campaign meant to push Nintendo of America to localize Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower for western gamers. Each game was sought after, and Nintendo didn't have plans to bring them to the US. The campaign turned to petitions, gathered tons of support and, so they thought, got Nintendo to release all three games. The games did...
Japan's 100 Best Selling Video Games Since 2001
Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu has published a list of the top 100 retail video games sold in Japan between Jan. 1, 2001 and Sept. 29, 2013. Let me give you a quick hint about the list, too: Japan loves it some Nintendo, and not a single western developed game appears on the list. Every game was born and bred in the Land of the Rising Sun, which does not seem too feasible in this...
Nintendo 3DS Tops Lifetime Wii Sales Figures in Mobile Dominated Japan
The Nintendo 3DS continues to storm Japan with a momentum not seen since the first Nintendo DS, trouncing over its big console brothers one step at a time. As of today, the final finish line has been crossed, and its sales figures have just upstaged the Wii’s impressive run in its home country. Sales tracking group Media Create reports that 12,752,731 Nintendo 3DS units have been sold...
Disney Infinity review: The Magic We're Used To?
Disney Infinity is finally here, and for us Disney dorks, it brings with it a lot of promise. This game/fairly obvious money pit aims to deliver collectible figurines, limitless play (get it, Infinity?) and the ability to mix and match heroes and villains from our favorite Disney universes. But, is it all it's cracked up to be? Or, is Disney dealing a dud? Joey DavidsonSenior...
Square Enix Talks Dragon Quest X American Release
Dragon Quest X continues to allude Western gamers a year after its release, and Square Enix still has nothing solid on a localization effort. The game has become profitable in its home country, but not on the level Square Enix has been hoping for, especially given the universal love and high sales figures the series typically enjoys. Two obvious methods of expanding beyond the Japanese...
