JPN – Phoenix Wright the Musical
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zYapmRsNZE[/youtube] The video is entirely in Japanese, however, how can you not enjoy a few clips from Phoenix Wright the Musical? Also, Edgeworth can dance like a freak! The musical was put on by the all female musical troupe Takarazuka, the only thing that could make this more amazing is if it had english subtitles.

Virtua Tennis 2009 confirmed for Wii, might have MotionPlus controls
After being conspicuously absent from Sega’s big reveal earlier this month, a Wii version of Virtua Tennis 2009 was confirmed Saturday for the Wii. It will reportedly feature all the same modes and games as its beefy cousins on the Xbox 360 and PS3, as well as some lighter fare that was probably shoe-horned in at the last second the capitalize on the non-existent, but nevertheless pandered t...
No EarthBound for VC, ESRB rating a Mistake
STARMEN.NET is reporting that EarthBound is being indefinitely held from Virtual Console release, possibly due to copyright concerns from NoA’s legal staff. Earthbound fans have suffered numerous false starts, but between from Iwata’s namedrop and the ESRB rating, fans refused to give up hope – but apparently the rating was a mistake. From what we’ve learned, Nintendo nev...
Bob’s Game coming to iPhone, Android, ..DS?
Following his rejection for Nintendo DS developer status, Robert Pelloni plans to release his one-man DS project on the iPhone, Andriod, OpenPandora, and into the DS homebrew community. Months of questionable behavior seems to have left Pelloni with few options outside of open source platforms, and his aggressive streak remains. “bob’s game” will be available for EVERY MAJOR NI...

NYCC: Marble Saga: Kororinpa
February Sixth, I entered New York Comic Con but a small fan of labyrinth style games. February Eighth, I left Comic Con a huge fan of marble based games. Marble Saga: Kororinpa is the sequel to a small and slightly unknown gem known as Marble Manaia: Kororinpa; it was released amongst the masses of great good games in 2007 and quickly fell to obscurity (as well as price gouging on e-bay). Enough ...
MadCatz makes mad money thanks to Wii Fit, Rock Band
Landfills that don’t even exist yet were all hot and bothered this morning following the impressive sales data out of gaming accessory manufacterer MadCatz. The company ended the quarter down slightly, but was still heavy on cash, thanks in part to Wii Fit accessories that have without a doubt offered their new owners minutes of exercise help before being shoved beneath the TV stand. Rock Ba...
Dead Space, future Wii title, began development on original Xbox
Dead Space, the well-received space horror game developed by EA that’s slated to come Wii-side soon, was initially developed using original Xbox hardware. Since the Internet is the consummate example of fairness and anti-hypocrisy, I fully expect all the people who whined about The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess being originally developed as a GameCube title to come out of the woodwork a...
