F-Zero X
 
Here’s the update straight from Nintendo:

You’ll speed to the finish line on tracks that twist and turn through the air, doing your best to avoid the other 29 cars on the track. If you’re in a competitive mood, try to win a Grand Prix Cup, get the fastest lap time in a Time Trial or destroy the competition in a Death Race. You can also challenge three friends in the Versus mode. With five separate play modes, hidden vehicles and courses, and an excellent soundtrack, F-Zero X still represents one of the best racing titles to date.

Street Fighter® II Turbo: Hyper Fighting (Super NES®, 1-2 players, Rated T for Teen ?Violence, 800 Wii Points): Street Fighter II defined gaming in the 1990s by revolutionizing the fighting-game genre. Regarded as one of the greatest games of all time, Street Fighter II’ Turbo: Hyper Fighting was the third and final release in the original series. Featuring the eight original World Warriors (including Ryu, Chun Li and Guile) along with playable boss characters (Balrog, Sagat and M. Bison), this classic title offered enhanced playing speed and improved character balancing.

China Warrior (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older ?Violence, 600 Wii Points): China Warrior is a side-scrolling action game that was released around the same time as the TurboGrafx16 in Japan. It’s up to the kung fu master Wang to defeat the Dark Emperor, who stands atop the kung fu world in China. Punch, kick and jump-kick enemies along the path that lies between you and the three bosses of each stage. Skillfully fight your way through all four stages, and be sure not to miss recovery items while dodging enemy attacks. China Warrior boasts character size and detail that rivaled all other games at the time of its release. Exciting one-on-one fights against the game’s realistic bosses will make you feel like you’re in the middle of a kung fu movie.

Kawaii!

 

I have been neglecting this site as of late and would like to apologize for the lack of updates. Essentially Nintendo is to blame ^_^. One of the problems of having a news site run by a dedicated gamer is that they’ll definitely make playing cool new games a priority over posting news updates on the site. This is exactly what has happened with me. Below is a list of all of the games that I am currently concentrating on playing (so it does not include any of the many games that I am intermittently playing):

Wii

Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition

Mario Party 8

Super Paper Mario

Trauma Center

DS

Pokemon Diamond

Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (good game, even in Japanese!)

360

Ring of Death’d 🙁

PSP

Me & My Katamari

Loco Roco

Lumines II

Game Cube

Metroid Prime 2

Pikmin 2

Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes

So, you can see that my time is amply occupied with this, not to mention my job selling video games most days. ^_^

Anyways, E3 is swiftly approaching and I wanted to assure you that Game Usagi will do our best to give you top-notch coverage of everything interesting that goes down.

-Miyamoto

P.S. We’re hiring!

UPDATE: Add these to the list, thanks to my 3.40 OE-A firmware PSP (and Lumines):

PSP

Illusion of Gaia (SNES)

Megaman Battle Network 6: Cybeast Gregar (GBA)

Final Fantasy VII (PS1)
