Sega announced today that a Sonic RPG is in the works for the DS. The game is being developed by the Canadian-based company BioWare.

BioWare is known for RPGs such as Baldur's Gate and the Neverwinter Nights series. I'm not sure that the Sonic universe would translate into an American-style RPG like the previously mentioned.

Personally I'm very excited about the prospect of a Sonic RPG, especially for the DS, but I'm a bit worried about the developer. I'll be following this story very closely.

Contra 4 will be hitting the DS! The new game will take place two years after the last game, Contra III: The Alien Wars. The game will span across both screens, giving players a much larger vertical range – although the character will still cross levels horizontally.

I'm pretty excited about this one. Up up down down left right left right B A Start baby!

I'm a huge fan of the Ratchet & Clank series. The first two games, especially - although the last one left a bit to be desired. The series seemed to move more towards action and away from platforming, questing, and mini games.

The Jak (& Daxter) series had been doing the same thing lately - although I personally feel it was a change for the better. The first game, while tons of fun, was a bit too cartoony and cheesy, but to throw the characters of the first game into the dark and threatening worlds of the latter was amazing.

Some people have disagreed with me, however, and with Ratchet & Clank coming out on the PS3 there's even more to talk about.

What do you think of the debate?

Yosuke Hayashi, producer of Team Ninja, said that the company might create a Ninja Gaiden title for the Wii that utilizes Wiimote functions.

I've never been a huge fan of the Ninja Gaiden series, but that's not to say I don't recognize the quality - and there's a huge following. If this goes through it could be big news for Wii owners.

We have a ton of game reviews up for you at Tokidoki.

Gamebox 1.0 Movie

The director of Stomp the Yard and I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer, Sylvain White, is the new director for the upcoming movie Castlevania based on Konami's games of the same name.

Now, I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty excited that a director great enough to work on Stomp the Yard will be taking on one of the best series of all time. I think the only way we could do any better would be to go with Eli Roth.

But anyway, Sylvain White had the following to say about why he took on the job. "Most of the vampire films have been present or set in the future, from 'Blade' to 'Underworld,' and I was attracted by the chance to make a dark, epic period movie that almost has an anime feel to it."

The script apparently revolves around a Transylvanian knight leading his troups into a castle to seek refuge, and discovering that it is inhabited by the original vampire. Some from the Belmont family is apparently supposed to play a part as well - could this be the Trasylvanian knight?

Anyway, I'm disappointed in the choice of director, but there is still a bit of hope for the movie. We'll have to wait and see. Keep checking back for more news.

And Chocobo's Dungeon for the Wii looks incredibly cute. I mean, look at him swinging and drinking stuff! Absolutely adorable. The game looks like it could be a lot of fun, too.

I've been wondering how a Death Note game would play out on the DS. This trailer doesn't show a lot of gameplay, but it's obvious that the game will be very strategy based. If this one gets brought to the US it could be very interesting.

Mizuiro Blood

Join us or die! I'm not sure what's going on in this trailer, and I'm sure it will never hit the states, but it sure looks amazing!




Powerpuff Girls Z

I'm still having trouble believing that they did this.




Capucine Trailer

The French are so strange... but still this game looks like it could either be really awesome, or really... boring.

This upcoming title for the PC won best concept at the Swedish Music Awards. It definitely looks interesting, although I think it'd be better off on a console. The music is katamari-ish, with some quirky gameplay. Any thoughts?

That's all for now. Enjoy the images and keep checking back for more!

The official Smash Bros website is featuring a count down - a six day count down. What could be revealed at the end of this count down? A new character, perhaps? New images from the game? Nothing but a revamped and new Smash Bros site? Who knows, but rumors are flying everywhere.

The rumor that seems to be the most widespread is that Tingle will be annouced as the newest character. This is based on an old scan from a Japanese magazine showing Tingle with the other Smash Bros characters.

Another Smash rumor is that the game will be released for the GameCube at the same time it's released for Wii, but I have a feeling that this is nothing more than a rumor. Smash Bros is going to sell Wii's like hotcakes. Why put it out on the GameCube?

But anyway, we should see what all these rumors amount to in six days. Keep checking back with us.

The playstation title that introduced North America to the music genre is being ported to the PSP.

I've never thought Parappa to be the great music game, or even one of the greatest, but it's hard to deny the game's charm, or what it's done for the genre in the US. If you haven't played this one, you're going to get another chance. Don't miss it this time. =)

Please add me and tell me yours. =)

Nintendo is doing great in terms of sales. They have recently revealed that Pokemon Diamond and Pearl have solder over 1 million copies since the games' release. In Japan, Gyakuten Saiban 4 (Phoenix Wright 4) has sold over 500,000 copies since its release.

Also, Nintendo has reported over 3.3 million virtual console downloads, but did not report which titles were the most popular.

Bandai Namco is taking advantage of the popularity of the Wii by releasing Taiko no Tatsujin DS, a port of their drum music game.

And Nintendo is not taking the sales of their handheld system lightly. They have said that they plan on shipping 22 million units of the Nintendo DS worldwide by 2008.

And if you're worried about first party titles coming to the DS and the Wii, worry no more. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata has said that nintendo is working on no less than 124 first party games for the two system. 79 are for the DS and 45 are for the Wii. He said the next wave of first party games will be seen at the end of summer.

That's a lot of titles. Any ideas what might be in store for us?

Up until now Namco had owned 96% of the shares for Monolith Soft, the developer of the Xenosaga series. Recently, however, Namco has transfered 80% of its shares to Nintendo.

The reason, according to Namco, is primarily to strengthen its relationship with Nintendo in the future. This isn't surprising seeing as now Nintendo is doing so well in the console race, and Sony, well, Sony has some catching up to do.

Monolith Soft isn't entirely new to working on Nintendo titles. They have released Xenosaga 1&II to the DS, as well as worked on Baten Kaitos for the GameCube.

As to what this means to the Xenosaga series, we'll have to wait and see.

It seems the Square-Enix has officialy said that they don't have any plans to bring their titles to Ninendo's Virtual Console any time soon. This doesn't come as a huge shock - they already make a ton of money by releasing their titles as ports and remakes every few months. The little amount of profit they'd get from distributing them via VC would hardly be worth it.

In other news, Square has said that the FFXIII franchise could last for up to 10 years. The old habbit of making new FF games in new worlds may be over. Expect FFXIII spin-off titles, much like the assortment of FFVII games that are out there now. Plus, if this franchise will really last ten years, we should see some direct RPG sequels to the series as well.

Composter of the Silent Hill series, Akira Yamaoka, has said that Silent Hill 5 will follow in the footsteps of Silent Hill 2. Not necesarily in story, but in gameplay and style. His actual quote was the game would be similair to Silent Hill 2, "in the terms of the way the player is directed and the character's behavior." In addition, the camera will be set up the same way it is in Silent Hill 2.

He also said that Silent Hill 5 would be coming to next-gens systems, "like PS3 and Xbox 360."

I think a lot of people will be relieved to hear that the game won't be following in the footsteps of Silent Hill 4.
