First Ninja Gaiden 2 Screens!

Posted by Steve Van Neil
Categories: Action, Fighting, Screenshots, Xbox 360

Wow, these came out of nowhere.  Xbox Japan has posted the first screens of the highly anticipated Xbox 360 action sequel.  Things have been so quiet on the game’s development front that some of us were wondering if it was even happening.  Well wonder no longer.  Judging a game’s graphical finesse on a handful of still shots is always a fool’s errand, but I’ll bite anyway.  Ninja Gaiden 2 is looking nice...really nice.  The game doesn’t look like a monumental jump technically over Ninja Gaiden Sigma, but then remember the finesse and the still shots and the fool’s errand thing.  Itagaki’s latest will surely be a thing of beauty in motion.  For now, enjoy this little taste and expect to hear a lot more at this month’s Tokyo Game Show.  Oh, and hit the link for the rest of the screens, and gallons of arterial spray.

New Devil May Cry 4 Trailer

Posted by Steve Van Neil
Categories: Action, CAPCOM, Fighting, PC, PlayStation 3, Trailers, Xbox 360

Capcom has just released a new trailer for its highly anticipated action game sequel.  The clip runs about two minutes and contains no actual gameplay footage.  Strangely, it does show cinematic footage of our hero Dante getting thrown, punched, and kicked in the face over and over again in what appears to be a training exercise.  Devil May Cry 4 hits next year, with this and lots of other bits of weirdness, on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Xbox Live Arcade 7/18: Bomberman Live And Yie Ar Kung-Fu

Posted by Chris Pereira
Categories: Action, Fighting, Strategy, Xbox 360, Xbox Live, Xbox Live Arcade

Another week with a dual release of Xbox Live Arcade games, and we’ve certainly got at least one solid title here. Bomberman is the classic you know and love, and for 800 Microsoft Points ($10) you get Xbox Live multiplayer support – that right there should be enough to earn your points. And the other Arcade release, Yie Ar Kung-Fu, is probably a game you’ve probably never heard of, but is only $5 and you’ve got Live multiplayer – give the trial a shot before you outright dismiss it.

E3 2007: Next Week’s Xbox Live Arcade Wednesday Sports Two Releases

Posted by Chris Pereira
Categories: Action, E3, Fighting, Release Dates, Retro, Screenshots, Strategy, Xbox 360, Xbox Live, Xbox Live Arcade

Next Wednesday, July 18, we’ll be treated to a dual release – Bomberman Live and Yie Ar Kung Fu. Bomberman has been designed specifically for XBLA and features split-screen multiplayer, as well as online multiplayer over Xbox Live and tons of customization for your character. The game will cost 800 Microsoft Points ($10). Yie Ar Kung Fu is a fighting game that appeared on the NES, and is probably a game you’ve never heard of. But that’s why we have trials for all Arcade games, so you can decide if the game is really worth 400 Microsoft Points when they both go live on the Arcade next week.

Check after the break for more screens from both games.

E3 2007: Super Smash Bros. Brawl Still Not Confirmed To Have Online

Posted by Chris Pereira
Categories: Action, E3, Fighting, Internet, Nintendo, Rumors, Wii

1UP is reporting on the omission of any mention of online gameplay when the subject of Smash Bros. Brawl came up at Nintendo’s press conference earlier this week. Of course, online is a feature that’s probably probably the number one item on every gamer’s wish list when it comes to Super Smash Bros. So it really raises an eyebrow when Nintendo discusses its dedication to online gaming but fails to mention anything about Brawl being online.

It’s suggested in the 1UP story that Nintendo may simply want gamers to focus on the concept of Mario Kart Wii’s online play. And, of course, there is the Tokyo Game Show where Nintendo could make the announcement. Given that this press conference seemed heavily focused on Nintendo’s mentality of expanding the market with casual games, an announcement of Smash Bros. Brawl being online would have drastically diverted attention from that focus.

We’ll keep you up to date on this situation; in the meantime, let’s keep our fingers crossed and all hope that Nintendo knows what it’s doing.
