Game Usagi - The Fluffy Side of Gaming

Roller Town Cast

Miyamoto — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 04:39:34 +0000

You may not have heard of Picnicface, but you’ve definitely heard FROM them. Various members of Picnicface with various levels of cooperation are the masterful smiths who have brought us some of the finest examples of both Canadian and internet humour including Powerthirst 1-3, Super Bingo, Julie Bender, Mall Employee, and The Boardroom (and funny sketches too numerous to link to).

Anyways, they’re “selling themselves” for “money” to make a “full length movie” of “awesomeness”. It’s like internet humour in movie-based coolness form. Check out the trailer for their movie entitled Roller Town and see what magical things you can get by donating to them here.

New Anime Movie Guide Domain

Miyamoto — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 19:39:03 +0000

Howdy everyone, just letting you know that I’ve made it easier to get to our popular Anime Movie Guide. Now instead of bookmarking or remembering the number 238 all the time, you can just hit up animemovieguide.com and it’ll take you straight to our guide. In the near future we’ll be adding a few more movies to the guide and in the semi-near future we’ll be adding HTML anchors to the page to allow you to easily jump between studios instead of scrolling forever and perhaps even give the guide a proper site of its own.

3DS Graphics: What We Know [update]

Miyamoto — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 06:59:36 +0000

[update: The 3DS' graphics chip was officially unveiled today and it is called the DMP PICA200. The tech demo video for this graphics chip has been added to the article]

So, this year’s E3 has come and gone and we have managed to glean quite a few details about all manner of aspects of the upcoming 3DS system from Nintendo. One of the most impressive and unfortunately obscured aspects of the 3DS are its graphical powers. Pretty much all Nintendo showed to us at home was the trailer for Kid Icarus, which while awesome did not do too much to diversify our knowledge of everything the system can do. So, I have accumulated for you all of the currently available samples of 3DS graphics available in both photo and video form so that you can perhaps be just as excited as we are at Game Usagi. All of the awesomeness after the jump starting with the videos.

Nintendo 3DS Revealed! [update]

Miyamoto — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 20:10:43 +0000

[update: added more pics]

Well, the 3DS has been revealed. The FCC leaked board turned out to be real, as the top screen is wider than the bottom and the system does have a control nub like the PSPs. One trailer of actual gameplay was shown for a new Kid Icarus game called Kid Icarus Uprising. The graphics are essentially GCN/Wii graphics, looking very complex and well-shaded. Here are are couple early product shots and a fact sheet, I’ll try to get a hold of Kid Icarus footage for you too:
