Game Usagi has just gotten easier to share with your friends in the online community! Now, at the bottom of every post is a handy “digg it” link that will enable you to dig any story on Game Usagi with a simple click. If you think the button is too small, and would rather have the larger digg icon in the top right-hand corner of every post (I think that that’d be annoying), then send an email to admin@gameusagi.com
Thanks,

As you well can see, Nintendo’s still on top with both of their systems, as they have been for the past little while with few exceptions.
Wiimote Gun Shell for Ghost Squad?
Friday, May 11th, 2007
When SEGA was questioned earlier on the possibility of a shell for the wiimote to add more rumble/extra buttons to ensure the purest possible experience of Ghost Squad on the Wii, they said “Watch this space” implying that something of the sort is in the works. Game Usagi will keep you updated with any additional news as it arises.
Sumotori: Best Free PC Game Ever
Friday, May 11th, 2007
This very simple, free, 96k (very, very small) game is one of the funnest that I have ever played. The mechanics are simple, one button to move forward, one button to push with one hand, and one button to push with two hands. The point is to not be the first one knocked down, but that it easier said than done. Your character moves like someone on the verge of dying of alcohol poisoning, and there really isn’t a sure-fire way of staying vertical. The most fun of the game comes from either watching the characters stumble around trying to stay standing for long enough to bow to one another or playing the super-secret hidden mode (started by breaking the corner of the wall that is visible in the right-most gap between the bars on the title screen) in which you put the beatdown on a single character by throwing boxes at him (and sometimes pushing him off the edge to oblivion).

Rygar RPG Announced for Wii
Friday, May 11th, 2007
At Tecmo’s recent press event, they announced a new, exclusive RPG for the Wii that is a spin-off of the Rygar: Legendary Warrior “platformers” for the NES and PS2. The character art (pictured above) already looks very impressive. The only info we have on the game thus far is the tagline that it has temporarily been given:
New Hero, New Enemies, Swing Action
