ESRB reveals localization plan for Let’s Hitchhike

JC Fletcher — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 22:35:00 +0000

Let's Hitchhike from NIS (actually, Let's Zenryoku Hitchhike!!!!!!!!!, but we'll stick to Let's Hitchhike) is one of the weirdest games on WiiWare -- a board game with a hitchhiking mechanic and an angry restaurant owner as the primary antagonist. It might not be Muscle March weird, but it's quirky enough to get our attention.

According to a new ESRB listing, NIS is planning to localize Let's Hitchhike as Full Blast Hitchhike. The content description offers two examples of the English version's "tongue in cheek humor": "What are the two sexiest farm animals? Brownchickenbrowncow!" and "Japanese girls are great! W-well...not as great as YOU, my pet." If you enjoyed those, be sure to give Full Blast Hitchhike a ride whenever it actually, you know, is announced and released for real.

Also found via ESRB: the Wii version of Geon, now published by UFO Interactive and called Geon Cube -- not to be confused with Technos's Geom Cube.

1 Prim metaKIOSK Released

Kabalyero — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 02:18:00 +0000

I can#8217;t remember when I joined metaLIFE but that#8217;s not really important. What#8217;s important is the reason why I joined and that is to use their Marketplace to sell my items in-world and off-world. Unfortunately, their 15 to 21 prim vendors or metaKIOSKs are preventing me from fully using their marketplace. Like many residents or […]pa/pdiv class=”feedflare”

Graphic Problems with Greenlife Emerald Viewer

Kabalyero — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 11:01:21 +0000

I haven#8217;t used the Greenlife Emerald Viewer that much since Snowglobe was released. I know, Greenlife Emerald has loads of features and goodies but, for some reason, I like using Snowglobe more than any other viewers.

EA admits to errors in FIFA 09 online code, promises FIFA 10 fixed

Xav de Matos — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 01:15:00 +0000

FIFA 10 line producer (for the Wii version) Sid Misra has told footy fans that troublesome connection issues found in last year's edition are being addressed for the 2010 version of the game. In a forum thread on the official EA Sports site, Misra admitted that online connection problems encountered in FIFA 09 were due to errors in the game's code and are currently being ironed out for silky-smooth online gameplay in FIFA 10. That is great news ... unless you're one of the many people who bought FIFA 09 and were unaware of your unofficial status as an EA Sports beta tester.

According to Misra, EA is confident it can sew up holes in FIFA's online system -- citing an impressive 95% completion rate during internal testing. We think that's swell, but seeing as though there is a major difference between testing in a controlled environment and the real thing, we're waiting to see how it performs in our own home before we get excited.

Another Useless Land Purchase

Kabalyero — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 12:39:11 +0000

A few days ago, I spent a lot of time searching for land to rent or buy. I was looking for an affordable land in a private estate where I can move my fishing area, shop and chickens. Most of the private land I visited has very strict covenant which will not allow most of […]pa/p

Scribblenauts could come to other platforms

Griffin McElroy — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 00:15:00 +0000

It's a scientific fact that 100 percent of people on Earth love Scribblenauts -- trust us, an actual scientist said that -- unfortunately, not everyone owns a Nintendo DS. Sure, almost everyone owns a DS, but that still leaves a small sliver of humanity who will be unable to experience 5th Cell's wordy puzzler whenever it hits store shelves this September.

Fortunately for this minuscule contingency, there's a chance Scribblenauts could be released on other platforms. In a recent interview with VG247, the game's technical director, Marius Fahlbusch, explained, "We never limited ourselves to the DS as platform in our heads and we'll see what the future holds." Personally, we think it would be a hit on any platform, whether that platform be Xbox 360, PS3 or coloring book.

Game & Watch & DSiWare

David Hinkle — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 23:15:00 +0000

If you've been having a tough time accruing enough coins in Club Nintendo to get your very own copy of Game & Watch Collection for DS, know that Nintendo is planning to parcel out nine different Game & Watch classics to DSiWare in Japan. Kotaku reports that Nintendo will be offering each individual game for a very reasonable 200 DSi Points over the summer, meaning you can have your own piece of gaming history on the go for a measly $2.

There's no word on these escaping Japan, but considering that a majority of the content offered on DSiWare there has made its way over here, it's likely only a matter of time.

The Scribblenauts ESRB listing is hilarious

Richard Mitchell — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 04:00:00 +0000

Above, you can see the actual ESRB listing for the upcoming DS write-em-up, Scribblenauts. We've taken the liberty of blurring out the most boring bits. Left behind is just a tiny sampling of the truly wondrous things that Scribblenauts is capable of. Trust us, developer 5th Cell did its homework. We know, we checked.

Seriously, any game that allows you to attach a steak to a baby in order to attract lions ... that's at least a rental, right? Scribblenauts drops this September.

Final Fantasy III coming to the Virtual Console this month (in Japan)

David Hinkle — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 16:15:00 +0000

Square Enix continues its assault on the Virtual Console in Japan with the third installment in the Final Fantasy series, as Game Watch is reporting FInal Fantasy III will be available on the Virtual Console for 500 Wii Points some time this month. We'd be super excited about this, if not for the DS remake that had already released, which gave those of us in the West our first taste of this game. But, hey, we get that some people might want to play the original, and not the enhanced DS remake. Are you one of them?

[Thanks, Justin!]
