With just 66,000 in sales MadWorld could serve as a warning to developers to stay away from hardcore games for the Wii, but Capcom’s Masachika Kawata, says that’s not the case for Resident Evil.

I moved into my new place on Monday — and have been unpacking since. Don’t think we’ll be fully settled anytime some — mounds and mounds of stuff to unpack.
This is regarding a conversation I was having with someone over the weekend: Why do people press buttons on elevators twice? Sure, they’re impatient. But don’t buttons respond the first time? And wouldn’t pressing the same button twice even possibly make the elevator move slower?
Then again, maybe the people who design elevators know …

File this under “insightful”: EA Sports boss and part-time tattoo aficionado Peter Moore has told Eurogamer that his brand is under-performing on Nintendo’s dominant home console.
I think we need to continue to work on the Wii. When I look at the attach rate on the Wii of our software to where I think we should be, we’re under-performing still, we need to do much better

Sure do. Know a good place to start, Pete? Quit introducing cartoony graphics and take a look at Konami’s Pro Evo. While the shinier versions of …

There’s nothing especially remarkable about a side-scrolling kung-fu fighting game – unless it’s in stereoscopic 3D.
Invincible Tiger is going for a more immersive gaming experience by including various 3D formats as gameplay options along with the traditional 2D mode. The plot of the game and the basic combat action are a throwback to the kung-fu films of the 70s; but the fancy art style the local/online co-op modes are a definite nod to more modern gaming sensibilities.
What Is It? Invincible Tiger is an Xbox Live Arcade/PlayStation Network 2D brawler that …

This is the year of “all things weird and wonderful” for Namco Bandai, according to Todd Thorson, Director of Marketing and Public Relations – and Katamari Forever on the PlayStation 3 proves it.
To reintroduce gamers to the wacky puzzle/action/adventure/weird thing Japan created to ensnare gamers in mindless fun, Namco Bandai has given the original game a graphics makeover, a new story, a “handful” of new levels and some remixed music from the original Katamari Damacy.

Instead, the birthday bundle packs in two limited edition stickers, one featuring the GTA IV logo, the other featuring the Liberty City Swingers team …
