Bayonetta 2‘s Sales Are Depressing

Oh dear. Bayonetta 2 is out in Japan, and it looks like a terrific game. The early buzz on it is super positive. Shame that not many people are buying it. Blame the Wii U for that? As My Game News Flash points out, when the first Bayonetta game was released on the Xbox 360…

In Japan, Order a Hamburger with Strawberry Sauce

Because, really, why the hell not? I’d do it in a heartbeat. Bring it on. Lotteria is once again releasing a truly unusual burger. This time, it’s high-grade Japanese beef with a strawberry cream sauce slathered on. Um, yum! The type of the strawberry is called “tochiotome” (とちおとめ), and it’s variety of strawberry grown in…

The Xbox One Is Doing Truly Awful in Japan

If you thought the Xbox One had a terrible Japanese launch, then, well, you’re right. But as bad as those launch numbers are, they’re freaking amazing when compared to how the Xbox One is doing now In its first four days on sale, Microsoft sold 25,674 Xbox Ones in Japan.

“Dog Noodles” Are Now Available in Japan

What’s wrong with dog food? Can’t we just feed our four-legged friends dog food? No, it seems, we cannot. Enter “Dog Noodles.” These are noodles for dogs. These are udon noodles made for dogs. On the packaging it actually says that! “Inu senyou” (犬専用) or “especially for dogs.” According to My Navi, this is actually…

There’s Gonna Be A Duck Dynasty Console Game For Some Reason

I mean, of course there is. I’m not actually surprised—or at least, I really shouldn’t be. You can watch a trailer of the newly announced Duck Dynasty console game on the show’s Facebook page Duck Dynasty is, of course, the massively popular “non-fiction” show about a family that runs a duck-hunting equipment based empire. There’s…

Chill out with Fallout. Creative YouTube person Ben MacB has been modding Fallout: New Vegas to look absolutely glorious and then showing off the dilapidated world’s wonders with delicious slow pans and soothing post-rock. I, um, really like watching these. They’re so pleasant. Here’s the rest of his series (so far): If you want to…

Someone Modded Their 3DS To Play Smash Bros. With A Controller

Before you ask: yes, it’s a Gamecube controller. Of course it is. What else would it be? Not content to play Smash Bros. with the 3DS, だいこん went ahead and modded their system so they could play using a controller. Honestly, when people are destroying their circlepads while playing Smash, can you blame them? It’s…

This Cartoon Is As Close To A New Jet Set Radio As We’re Gonna Get

Remember Jet Grind Radio/Jet Set Radio Future? The games that practically bled cool with rocket-powered roller blades, gorgeous graffiti, and hulking boomboxes far as the eye could see? Upcoming animated series Urbance claims them as big influences, and it looks stylish as fuck Urbance‘s plot—which centers around a city in which sex is illegal because…

We Sure Do Keep Watching Bruce Wayne’s Parents Get Murdered

Had you heard that Bruce Wayne’s parents were murdered in an alley behind a movie theater? And that trauma drove him to eventually don the mantle of The Batman? I’m worried you might not have heard. Maybe you should watch it again. This very cool supercut, made by Abraham Riesman for Vulture, cuts together a…

I Wish More Shooters Looked Like This

I’m tired of gritty, grumbly first-person shooters. A game that mixes Tron‘s synth-y style and Bulletstorm‘s focus on creative kills, though? Now this I can get behind. The game in question is called Desync, and I can’t say I’ve seen another shooter that looks quite like it. The world is clean and easy on the…

The Bronze Statue Raccoon-Obsessed Sly Cooper Fans Deserve

He may not be the most popular video game mascot, but his fans love Sly Cooper with the force of a thousand lesser fans, more than enough to warrant a $210 12-inch statue with a gleaming bronze finish. I was impressed enough with the$200 normal edition of Gaming Heads’ Sly Cooper statue, the fourth piece…
