We've been getting tipped today that Nintendo will end it's current implementation of the "Friend Code" system, one that requires players to have a unique code for every Wi-Fi Connection game they want to play with people they know. According to a number of sites, Nintendo of Europe has "confirmed" that the Wii will have a single unique identifier and that you'll be able to join online games with friends in a simpler fashion.

Zone of the Enders 3 For PlayStation 3?

Hideo Kojima's other PlayStation 2 franchise, Zone of the Enders, last saw an entry back in March of 2003. While the first was a commercial success, mostly due to the included Metal Gear Solid 2 demo, it was largely panned by critics. ZOE2: The Second Runner was its evil twin, a limited release that became a coveted, well reviewed title, bordering on collector's item. (That reminds me, ZOE2 is now available for purchase at Game Quest Direct, if you're looking for it.) More »

This Day in Gaming, September 30th

1998: LucasArts releases Grim Fandango for PC in the US. It's an acclaimed game based upon the Aztec mythology of the afterlife, but it failed commercially. I actually feel bad for having never played it and contributing to this game's failure. More »

Pac-Man Dunny T-Shirt Hotness

Let's get you up to speed. Pac-Man is a video game character created by Namco. Dunny is a series of soft vinyl toys from Kid Robot. A t-shirt is a short sleeved garment you put on your torso, usually made of cotton. Put all these things together and you have the above—a semi-sweet tee that will get you "props" from the urban vinyl and video gaming crossover market. More »

Space Invaders Indie Flick Freaks Me Out

Courtesy of Destructoid, comes this mind-blowingly strange indie Space Invaders flick. Three letters come to mind watching it: W, T and yes a big, fat, F. I might even throw in a couple of fancy exclamation points.

What the hell is with the voice over? What the hell is with the hair? What the hell is with the kitchen gloves? And just what the hell is with that sock puppet invader in the beggining of this six-minute voyage into bad acting, no plot and, yes, bad lip syncing to an ABBA song.

How can one song attack so many things I love at the same time?

Famitsu Polls Japanese Retail, Says Wii Wins Xmas

Cash-for-game-reviews sham Famitsu asked Japanese retailers (we assume places like Sofmap, Yodobashi Camera, Laox, etc.) how they thought the next generation of consoles would fare this holiday season. They asked about the ones that matter anyway—PlayStation 3 and Wii. Sure, they threw Microsoft a pity mention, but we can only assume that Takashi Sensui slipped 'em a 5000 yen note to get it.

Halo Wars: It's For the Germans

Germany is a fine country that makes fine products and has fine people. Though, we would be hesitant to say what would make them happy. (Pictures of Crecente?) Same for Northern Europe. Or heck, even Eastern Europe. We don't know what they want! A chatty Microsoft exec, though, does. At a post-X06 party, an Xbox Europe bigwig let it slip that the console needs a boost in certain countries. Thus, enter Halo Wars, from the Age of Empires developer. The exec stated: More »
