Sakura Samurai review: All the fun of a great action RPG without any of the dawdling around

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 19:49:41 +0000

Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword is a brilliant game. In this polished and challenging adventure, there is not one bit of wasted space or a moment of B.S. time-killing. Every encounter, decision and action serves the central swordfighting gameplay–and that’s a very good thing, because the fighting system is fun beyond belief. Easy to [...]

CONNECTIVITY: Episode 20: It’s Broken

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 14:23:08 +0000

We hope you like the 3DS, because this show is laced with it.

Yes, it’s true: this episode is almost entirely focused on the 3DS. Let’s be honest, though; unless you are playing Skyward Sword again, what would your Wii be doing?
The joy of recording news in the beginning of the week meant that last week we missed out on the tasty bits of information that came from Nintendo’s earnings briefing. But fret not, True Believers, as Neal, Zach, and Patrick have assembled in order to dissect the most interesting revelaitons… er, revelations, rather.
After that, Andy Goergen returns from dad-hood to talk about the durability of the 3DS with Patrick and Zach. Turns out a lot of the early systems were lemons. Have you had 3DS hardware woes yourself? Tell us about them in the comments!

NEWS: Sakurai Patent Application Details ‘Weapon Fusing’

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 08:01:37 +0000

Nintendo has applied for rights to a previously-unannounced StreetPass feature… and it might just be in reference to Kid Icarus: Uprising.

A patent application that credits Masahiro Sakarai as inventor details a feature for an unspecified shooting game involving transmission between two systems (StreetPass) and a process for fusing pairs of in-game weapons together.
The application was published on December 29, 2011 and filed by Nintendo last June 9. Specifically, the patent mentions that each piece of data (referred to as a “seed”) in the exchange represents a weapon, and when two systems meet, an option of appears where the two weapons can be fused to generate a new weapon. The fusion costs coins (or hearts in the case of Kid Icarus). The patent also describes how game progress (e.g. experience level) carries influence on weapon availability for the sake of retaining game balance. Additionally, weapons set to transmit cannot be equipped by [...]

NEWS: THQ Explains the Proportions of uDraw’s Collapse

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 23:20:55 +0000

1.4 million unsold units and $80 million in potential sales are collecting dust in THQ’s inventory.

THQ CFO Paul Pucino revealed that the uDraw performed $100 million below expectations in sales during a February 2 investor’s Q & A.
According to the corporate officer, $80 million was lost from the 1.4 million units unsold in THQ’s inventory, and the remaining 20 can be blamed on major discounting placed on many of the units that did sell.
At the investors meeting, the publisher has announced a $55.9 million dollar loss for the quarter. According to Pucino, $30 million of that can be directly attributed to the uDraw.

NEWS: THQ Laying Off Up to 240 Personnel, CEO Takes Salary Cut

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 23:18:57 +0000

The move is part of a “plan of restructuring”.

THQ is initiating a ‘restructuring plan’ which will result in up to 240 job losses and a one-year 50% pay cut of company CEO Brian Farrell, as reported in a recent company financial document.
For the most part, many of the planned cuts will be implemented by March 31, with some being pushed to September, and the aforementioned salary cut (from $718,500 to $359,250) beginning on February 13. THQ expects the restructuring plan to cost as much as 11 million dollars, with $8 million to go into severance costs, $500,000 into contract terminations, and up to $2.5 million into charges related to other fixed assets.

European retailer Game puts a plaster over its money wound

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 20:30:00 +0000

Earlier this week Game met with lenders to discuss its credit problems and options for staying in business, and now Game reports it will operate “with lower limits” and under “revised terms for its facilities.” As of November 2011, Game had 1,275 stores in Europe and Australia, but has hinted that it could sell off more than half of its overseas locations, and it plans to close 60 stores by 2013. It closed 39 locations last year.
Game’s economic problems aren’t an issue solely for retailers, but can affect the larger gaming industry as well — both EA and Take-Two discussed Game’s position during their Q3 financial calls.

Club Nintendo card case is worth the fake money

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:15:00 +0000

Nintendo’s never sent me a Club Nintendo bonus for review before, and I thought it was kind of odd when one arrived. But I don’t think there’s ever been a Club Nintendo bonus this nice. The 3DS Game Card Case is both beautiful and genuinely useful, holding 18 DS or 3DS games in a case the size of a single DS game box. That’s a rarity among DS game cases.
The transparent case comes with four reversible covers, for a surprisingly versatile look. I grabbed some random DS and 3DS cartridges from my desk, stored them in the case, and took some pictures so you can see for yourself.

BLOG: Sakura Samurai Freezing Issue

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 21:40:41 +0000

Having trouble loading Nintendo’s latest eShop game? We might have a solution.

So you bought Sakura Samurai despite my lukewarm review and it won’t load? That sucks.
But seriously, I ran into the same issue when I was reviewing the game. I booted the game and it would just start with a black screen with “Loading…” spazzing out in the bottom right-hand corner of the system. It effectively froze my system, as the only way to restart is to hold the power button down and do a hard reset.
When I asked our Nintendo representatives about this issue, they had no idea. Fortunately, I was running out of SD card space at the same time, so I bought a new SD card, replacing the one that came with the system. After moving the files over to the new bigger SD card, Sakura Samurai worked fine.

The service was originally promised for the end of 2011.

Hulu Plus is still unavailable for 3DS and Wii owners, but Nintendo has re-confirmed the release of the application in a recent video.
Although no details have surfaced about the application since its announcement, it was featured alongside Netflix during a video posted by Nintendo regarding the benefits of connecting to the eShop. Under the Hulu Plus logo, the words “coming soon” are visible.
When the service was announced in October, the original promise was to have it released as an application by the end of 2011. However, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime also updated the release date to “coming soon” during the October 21 edition of Nintendo Direct.

We recently sent a candidate of Colors! 3D to Nintendo, and they are now having a team that goes through the product in detail. The submission is a scary time for any developer, as you can never be sure how it’s going to go. Either Nintendo gives the all-clear, which for Colors! 3D means that it could be in the store a few weeks, or they come back with a list of proposed (or more often required) changes. If that happens, you have to make those changes, and then the process restarts. Official site
