Beard View: Yo-Kai Watch

A look at Japan’s #1 new game series I was worried aboutYo-Kai Watchwhen it was first announced. Putting out a manga, anime and game series all in one fell swoop is no small financial undertaking. Given that Level-5 isn’t a multi-billion dollar outfit, they had a lot to lose ifYo-Kai Watchwere to fail. On top of that, nothing about the series sounded particularly original. ] It’s likePokémonbut instead of catching monsters, you catch ghosts —totallyJapanese ghosts....

Captain Obvious: DS outsold 3DS

The 3DS is having a hard time living up to the success of its predecessor, the Nintendo DS. If you need evidence of that, then look no further than last month’s North American sales numbers. According to those, the DS isstilloutshining Nintendo’s successor. The 3DS sold 143,000 units in June, a number which the DS more than doubled with a sales figure of 386,000. Nintendo, of course, is focusing on the fact that it sold 800,000 systems in total, but when you break the numbers down, it leads to a rather embarrassing conclusion for the lauded “glasses-free 3D” system....

On the ESRB, No More Heroes, and shits I’ve heard a few people say thatpart 1 of our interview with Destructive Creations, the developers ofHatred, was “surprisingly fair”. It’s a shame that some have come to expect that this website, or any other gaming site, would be unfair to game developers, but I understand where the sentiment comes from. Tempers often run high in this new politically charged world of videogames, likely due to how many of us have been made to be afraid of each other....
