E3 2014 Trailer: Yoshi’s Woolly World (Nintendo Wii U)
Because Kirby’s Epic Yarn wasn’t adorable enough already, we now have Yoshi entering the fray. Titled Yoshi’s Woolly World, it would seem that the gameplay from the Yoshi’s Island series of games have made the leap to the Wii U with new textile visuals. Yoshi can swallow enemies and poop out little yarn balls to…

E3 2014 Trailer: Senran Kagura Bon Apétit! (Sony PlayStation Vita)
I… can’t possibly say anything more meaningful than what the trailer does already. To summarize, this game is a spinoff of Senran Kagura Burst, which was a beat-em-up game that featured female ninja’s that lost clothing after sustaining damage in battle. Bon Apétit! by comparison seems to maintain that same stripping mechanic, but inserts it…

E3 2014 Trailer: Brandish: The Dark Revenant (Sony PlayStation Portable)
Yes, you read that correctly. It is 2014, and XSEED Games continues to keep the PlayStation Portable alive by bringing more niche titles out west.

E3 2014 Trailer: Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus (Sony PlayStation Vita)
Senran Kagura Burst seemed like one of those games that would’ve been a great fit for the PlayStation Vita. And wouldn’t you know it, not only does such a version exist, but it’s releasing in the west by way of XSEED Games. Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus seems to eschew the 2D side-scrolling plane for more…

E3 2014 Impressions: Super Smash Bros. (Nintendo Wii U & 3DS)
While I wasn’t on the Los Angeles Convention Center show floor, I did get a chance to play Super Smash Bros. both on the 3DS and on the Wii U during a Nintendo/Best Buy event that was running concurrently with E3 2014. I felt the need to mention that only because I’m not 100% confident…

E3 2014 Trailer: Story of Seasons (Nintendo 3DS)
Story of Seasons is a Harvest Moon title in everything but name. “But wait!” you exclaim. “Didn’t Natsume just announce a Harvest Moon game not too long ago?” Yes, and since Natsume owns the name, they are the only ones that can brand their game as such. What that means for you is that you…

E3 2014 Trailer: Corpse Party (PC)
Get ready to butter up your pooper once again, because Corpse Party is making the leap from the PSP to your Windows PC. Boasting the voice actors from the original indie release and scenes exclusive to this version, there should be plenty reason to take another trip to Heavenly Host Elementary. It’s likely that the…

Sony’s PlayStation Portable trucks along as Natsume lines up another localization for the aging console. End of Serenity is a JRPG from the folks at Kemco, who you might remember as having developed last year’s Mystic Chronicles. As such, you can expect more turn-based action in the same vein as other RPG’s from the 16-bit…

What do you get when you mix Dynasty Warriors with The Legend of Zelda? If you said “Nothing, because no one is crazy enough to make that game” then you would have been me in the days leading up to this title’s announcement. There is still quite a bit unknown about the game, though a…

Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth combines characters from Persona 3 and Persona 4 into one massive dungeon crawler experience.
