n-Space lashes out at ONM and Kotaku after less-than-perfect Modern Warfare 3: Defiance reviews

Dora Thomas

n-Space, developer of the Activision published DS titleĀ Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: DefianceĀ (hooray for double colons), had some harsh words forĀ Official Nintendo MagazineĀ in response to the review of the game which they posted on theirĀ Facebook wall. The writer of the message specifically pointed out a line which questions why the game is on Nintendoā€™s last gen handheld instead of the 3DS. n-Space responded with some criticisms of their own for the publication. The full quote is below.

The official Nintendo Magazine of UK gives CoD:MW3:D a 70%. Apparently we get marked down for ā€œnot being ready to take the step up to 3DS yet.ā€ Iā€™m always amazed by how poorly game journalists understand the …

Chunsoft announces 999-related game for both Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita, screenshots and trailer released

Dora Thomas

In some news that personally has me very interested, Chunsoft has announced that they are working on a new visual novel titledĀ Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People DieĀ for both PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS. While itā€™s exciting to see both major portables receiving the game, whatā€™s really exciting to me is knowing that this game is coming from the same team that brought usĀ 999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors, which was one of the my favorite games of last year. Better yet ā€“ it seems the new game has some direct ties toĀ 999, as you can see in the trailer posted above. It appears that the game is similar toĀ 999Ā in that players

Rumor: Disgaea 3 to be PlayStation Vita launch game

Dora Thomas

Thereā€™s a rumor making the rounds thatĀ Disgaea 3Ā may make its way to the PSV. The original claim comes from a list of newly announced games in aĀ Japanese Yahoo article. The article made the claim listed below, but it later removed the listing. Is Sony trying to keep developers quiet until Gamescom or maybe Tokyo Game Show?

Mega Man Legends 3 may or may not be cancelled. Everyone freak out.

Dora Thomas

UPDATE:Ā It seems that I didnā€™t explain what this was about very well and some people think I just made this up for some reason, so letā€™s get this straight. Yes, the Mega Man Legends 3 website is still alive and kicking. You can visit that websiteĀ here. Thatā€™s certainly encouraging, but it still bothers me that Capcom removed theĀ listingĀ of this game (not the website) from their ā€œgamesā€ section on the Capcom website (here). This was the original subject of this article, and it has nothing to do with the actual website for the game. I just wanted to make that clear, and that you should, in fact, not freak out immediately. I am, however, perturbed with how

Lulz Security claims to have hacked Nintendoā€™s website

Dora Thomas

The hacking group Lulz Security has claimed to have hacked Nintendoā€™s website. The group postedĀ evidenceĀ of this attack on Twitter today which shows (through tech stuff I donā€™t understand) that they have found their way around Nintendoā€™s security. Nothing so far has been stolen, and personal information hasnā€™t been stolen, but itā€™s a reminder that Sony is not the only company that has the potential to be hacked.

Nintendo doesnā€™t have an online system like PlayStation Network where users are required to register using a password. However, Nintendo uses Club Nintendo to allow users to register products. This service requires an email and password, so that information could potentially be exposed. Nintendo doesnā€™t store credit card information (you have

Heroes of Ruin features four-player online co-op and voice chat

Dora Thomas0

So here I am, just flipping through this months issue of Nintendo Power when I spot a very familiar piece of artwork. I actually posted this art today thinking that this was a part of the big reveal of Heroes of Ruin, a game resulting from the collaboration of Square Enix and n-Space. n-Space announced the game through their Facebook page. Shortly after announcing it, n-Space deleted the post but the damage was done. Turns out that Nintendo Power actually had the big reveal all along, on page 13 to be specific. And it gets better ā€“ Nintendo Power published details that werenā€™t given on the Facebook page.

The quick description of the game in Nintendo Power actually gives us …

Nintendo Power reveals Mutant Mudds for the Nintendo eShop (first scans)

Dora Thomas0

It seems like itā€™s been all bad news for the Nintendo eShop lately. First Nintendoā€™s May update got a delay to June, and then Capcom announced that Mega Man Legends 3: Prototype Version, previously announced as a launch game for the service, was also receiving a delay. Today Iā€™m happy to report some good news for the eShop from the latest issue of Nintendo Power.

Renegade Kid, comprised of the people that brought you Dementium (I and II) and Moon for the DS, have announced a sort-of-new game for the Nintendo eShop called Mutant Mudds. Donā€™t get me wrong ā€“ the game is comprised completely of original content ā€“ but this isnā€™t the first time weā€™ve seen the game. …

RUMOR: The NGPā€™s final name is ā€œPS Vitaā€

Dora Thomas

Rumors are starting to circulate that the final name for Sonyā€™s next handheld is PS Vita. This rumor comes fromĀ Games PunditĀ who says they heard this from a source. Iā€™ve never heard o the site before, and it looks to be a pretty small site, but the author assures us that he isnā€™t doing this for hits and that he did he hear this for a source and its not made up.

Personally, I think thatā€™s a pretty stupid name. I suppose the acronym will be ā€œPSVā€ which sounds alright, but Iā€™m definitely not a fan of the ā€œVitaā€. ā€œVitaā€ is Italian for ā€œlifeā€, so I suppose Sony is trying to pump some life into their handheld division with

n-Space removes Heroes of Ruin post from their Facebook page

Dora Thomas0

I went back to n-Spaceā€™s Facebook page after seeing the art they posted on their upcoming game Heroes of Ruin, hoping to find more information, but I was a bit surprised at what I found. I think n-Space got a little too excited over their next game and revealed it earlier than Square Enix would have liked because the post has been removed. Now when you got to n-Spaceā€™s Facebook page you are greeted to a status update they did right before the reveal.

I hope Square Enix isnā€™t too peeved!…

n-Space teases Hereos of Ruin for 3DS

Dora Thomas0

I wouldnā€™t expect a collaboration between n-Space and Square Enix, but thatā€™s exactly whatā€™s happening with the new 3DS game Heroes of Ruin. n-Space teased the game today through their Facebook page. The company posted ā€œSquare Enix + 3DSā€ with the image you see above (which you can see a full version of after the break).

Besides the somewhat generic name, image, and developers involved, we didnā€™t get anymore information. Coming from both n-Space and Square Enix I expect a certain level of quality, so Iā€™m excited to see more about the game. It seems like Iā€™m required to say ā€œweā€™ll see more at E3ā€³ for just about every story now, but itā€™s true. A lot of companies tease …
