Siliconera got hold of Aksys' initial 2008 schedule for MiniCopter: Adventure Flight (Wii), Castle of Shikigami III (Wii), Jake Hunter: Detective Chronicles (DS), and Super Dodgeball Brawlers (NDS).
Below is a trailer for Jake Hunter: Detective Chronicles.
Dabe writes "Here is a top 5 list of the worst video game voice acting work, including a special mentions section at the end for some truly incredulous entries that couldn’t make this list of horrendous proportions. Anyways, without further ado, descend the page and descend into the madness of poorly scripted and translated Japanese imports..."
I agree Resident evil had some bad voice acting, and lets not forget the horrible FMV as an intro, but let's be real here, that was part of the charm of that game, it was for me anyways.
411mania talks about this week's game releases. Highlights include Cross Edge, Yosumin!, Crimson Gem Saga, Zenonia, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Jake Hunter Detective Story: Memories of the Past, Gyakuten Kenji, and Days of Memories 3.
I strongly encourage everyone to at least take a look at..nay pick up Cross-Edge. I would say that the game does give fan service by bringing in some characters many people may know as well as some many may not know; yet it also has an addictive battle system and great music to boot. So again I strongly advise those looking for an RPG to pick this up.
The Laser writes: "Adding a few twists to the classic vertically scrolling shooter genre, Castle of Shikigami III brings solid, arcade-style shooting action to the Wii. With ten unique characters, there's plenty of variety in attack styles, along with challenging gameplay modes. Players can choose to battle the foes alone or in co-operative mode, and play in boss attack and dramatic battle modes as well. The game's unique Tension Bonus system which allows you to build up extra shooting power and score multipliers adds a strategic element to the gameplay. Shikigami's fluid controls allow for screen-filling bullet battles and epic boss battles to create a solidly entertaining title that should please fans of the genre."
