It’s still hard for me to believe that we live in a time when SEGA is a third party company, and they are really great friends with Nintendo. Mario and Sonic aren’t rivals anymore…they star in games together! I was just thinking about this earlier today, and it still blows my mind....

Who do you have to thank for that fan-translated Mother 3 patch that made the Game Boy Advance release all English-y? Clyde 'Tomato' Mandelin for one, part of the DIY Mother 3 localization team. Gamasutra sat down with Mandelin, whose day job includes translating games like Kingdom Hearts II and ani...

Tales fans are absolutely dedicated to the series. I’ve come to learn this more and more by running this site. It must suck being a North American ‘Tales’ fan, since some of the titles never actually get localized. That would make the list below just a tad hard for American fans to...

The very first Shantae news club fanletter has come out, courtesy of WayForward. The newsletter is full of all sorts of good news. The part that is most interesting discusses the possible Shantae games in the works right now. • Shantae DS: In 2006-2007 we hit pretty hard, with a massive undertakin...

And, yes, I owe Aiza over at Gamerlite, one of b5media Video Games Channel’s newest blogs, an apology for not “promoting camaraderie” by answering her tag at the soonest possible time. Well, Aiza, blame it on Bayantel (whose service, sad to say, began to suck deteriorate [again] af...

Sega fans are very familiar with the Phantasy Star series. I can hardly believe it’s been around for 20 years! It only took almost all that time for Nintendo fans to have a chance at the series on one of their platforms. Phantasy Star Collection hit the GBA not too far back, but it didn’...

I don’t buy games very often. For games I actually enjoy playing, I have no problem buying them. As I see it, there are two flaws with purchasing games. First off, I own a PC and (almost) every console available. If I buy your game for PC, why should I have to buy it again for Xbox 360, Wii an...

This game is extremely tough to find, so snatch it up now while you can! Check out the deal here. Link...

Hard question: Why or why not? Instead of doing a simple “Hello� first post for this blog, I’d figure I would start things off with a two questions; One easy (I hope) and one somewhat hard (at least, I think so) as a follow-up. Now, before I hand the mic to all of you, perhaps, I should introd...
