Project Café/Wii 2/Wii HD/Stream Mockups [update]

April 21st, 2011 by

Project Cafe Logo

Nintendo Project Cafe

[update:  Café seemingly confirmed as the working title for Nintendo’s next console as evidenced by the above Wario-laden banner from Nintendo’s support site for developers: warioworld.com]

Current mock-up count: 167

While there are some other very good mock-up archives for Nintendo’s next home console, we found that they weren’t updated often or in a thorough enough manner to satisfy our excitement for the system.  Since 4cr isn’t compiling one of their famous mockup archives this time ’round, we took it upon ourselves to build upon what’s already out there and try to make this the most comprehensive compilation of Project Café mockups available.

The first 47 of these can be attributed to David Turnbull (of Nintendo3DSBlog.com fame) and his mock-up archive that you should certainly check out and the rest are ones we have found and added ourselves.  Enjoy!

If you have any mock-ups of your own creation or ones you have found but aren’t in our list, please feel free to link to them in our comments sections or submit them to: tips@gameusagi.com

While we normally review games for all of our brave G.I.s both at home and overseas, I thought that today we should take some time to do a review of good old Uncle Sam.

24 Hours with the Nintendo 3DS

March 28th, 2011 by

usagi-3ds

It’s been 24 hours (give or take) since we first got our hands on the 3DS and with a whole day’s worth of experience under my belt, I thought I’d give you the benefit of this experience and give you some info on some nuances of 3DS ownership that are not always addressed in similar guides.

WR: Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)

March 24th, 2011 by

Developer: Polyphony Digital
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Genre: Racing
Players: 1-2, 16 (online)
Console: PS3
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
Hours Played: 60
Progress: Completed all A-spec events aside from the endurance races

Gran Turismo 5 has been out for over three months, yet sometimes waiting a while to post your review is a good thing. You see, there have been a number of patches to tweak the game since its initial launch that are very telling about the latest installment of this venerable racing franchise. Having played the game for many hours spread over several weeks has given us great perspective on this important PS3 release and, hey…considering Gran Turismo 5 was first announced in 2006 and has been in development for over four years you’ll have to forgive us for taking a few months in finalizing our opinion on it.

WR: Killzone 3 (PS3)

March 16th, 2011 by

Developer: Guerrilla Games
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Genre: First-Person Shooter
Players: 1  (2-24 online)
Console: PS3
ESRB Rating: M (Mature)
Hours Played: 15
Progress: Finished the campaign on hard

The original Killzone (released for PlayStation 2) was a good concept but the franchise really didn’t take its place amongst the upper echelons of FPS games until the sequel arrived on the PS3. With stunning visuals, intense shooter combat and a comprehensive multiplayer mode it became a flagship title for Sony’s console. Two years later lo and behold, the third iteration is finally here! With new environments, 3D-compatible graphics and PlayStation Move support can Killzone 3 best its predecessor? Read on to find out…

Indie Game Hopeless 2 Beta Nearing Full Release

March 15th, 2011 by

hopeless2

This is a guest post from one of Game Usagi’s supporters.

Necromanthus, an independent gaming design company out of Romania, took the idea of a browser-based first-person shooter to new heights in 2008 with their release of Stryke Mercenary Camp. Stryke wasn?t the only free-to-join browser-based FPS on the market, not by a long shot, but it was the only shooter on the entire market to be highly optimized for basic computers and basic Internet connections.

Many popular shooters, like Country Strike, Orange and others, not only require gamers to have a hefty gaming rig capable of high FPS (Frames Per Second) rates, but they also require gamers to have low ping values (around 80ms on the high end) and superb connection quality. Stryke didn?t. Anyone could play and school noobs, whether they had a top-of-the-line PC or a low-powered laptop.

Anime Movie Guide Incoming [update]

March 11th, 2011 by

[Update: The site is now live! Check out http://animemovieguide.com!]

We apologize for the lack of updates over the past week or so. We’ve been hard at work developing an all-new site to host our growing Anime Movie Guide. The site is nearing completion and will soon feature OVA and TV Series Movie guides in addition to the classic Movie Guide that you’ve come to know and love. We’re also working on our seemingly arbitrary organization of the movies so that it’s a much cleaner and simpler browsing experience.  We’ll be unveiling the site in the next day or two, so get ready to experience a new way to find great anime movies.  To tide you over, there’s a sneak peek at the logo from the new site above and a preview image of an early beta version of the site on Anime Movie Guide’s Twitter feed here: http://twitter.com/animemovieguide
