Having only had experience with dating sim style games in the past and not really a full visual novel like If My Heart Had Wings was a treat I wasn’t expecting. Instead of a choose your own adventure style dating game, players are given more of an episodic anime like feel as they experience the story. Over the course of the many hours the game spans, there are very brief decisions to be made. Think of this more like an extended dialogue session in a Disgaea game or such. You’re watching still characters, with occasional changes to emphasize emotion, with Japanese voice over talents acting out spoken dialogue aside from the main character.Read More

Nintendo 3DS eShop Price Discrepancies [UPDATE 8/27]
Posted on August 27, 2013 by Jason Nason
It has come to our attention that several titles in the Nintendo 3DS eShop (but not all) are coming up at the wrong prices. The prices being charged for the games are anywhere from 10 cents to $1.25 higher than the price listed on Nintendo.com.
I have a few examples of recent releases with the price listed on Nintendo.com and the price being charged in the eShop.
Wakedas – Listed $2.99 – eShop price $3.09
10-in-1: Arcade Collection – Listed $2.99 – eShop price $3.09
Barbie: Groom and Glam Pups – Listed $29.99 – eShop price $31.25
Fish On 3D – Listed $9.99 – eShop price $10.49

Siege of Orgrimmar Coming Soon To WoW
Posted on August 27, 2013 by Les Major
As many of you know, I was a huge fan of the Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War novel by Christie Golden. Unsurprisingly the events in that book and seemingly the following title Vol’jin Shadows of the Horde (I haven’t read it yet but it does seem to fit the current WoW story) fit into actual World of Warcraft lore.
Odds are if you’re reading this, you’re already a big WoW fan anyway, but if you’ve been out of the game for awhile the info below may contain spoilers. Or if nothing else, a good glipse at the future of Azeroth.Read More

Nintendo Dates Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD for Oct 4th
Posted on August 27, 2013 by Jason Nason
Nintendo announced the release date for The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD in a press release this morning. The sly release wasn’t even about the game but moreso about The Legend of Zelda symphony series and added content for the concert in Seattle. That performance takes place on September 12th.
The date announced for the game’s HD re-release is October 4th.
The release stated: “To celebrate the launch of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD for Wii U on Oct. 4, Nintendo is adding some extra magic to the Seattle stop of The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses concert tour. The currently touring concert that features music from The Legend of Zelda series performed by a full orchestra will be performing in Seattle at Benaroya Hall on Sept. 12.”

Microsoft Retires Microsoft Points Today
Posted on August 27, 2013 by Jason Nason
Today is the day. Microsoft has now officially switched from using Microsoft Points for purchasing downloadable games and content to real world currency. The switch will happen across all Xbox Live regions and will automatically convert any existing balance or newly-entered Points card into your local currency.
The Xbox Live Marketplace now lists all prices in local currency instead of points as well, and Microsoft reports on its official site that all Points converted to currency will be valid until June 1, 2015 (but “the currency you purchase and add to your account after the transition will not expire”).
Even after your account transitions, Microsoft will still accept purchased Microsoft Points Cards and codes until further notice. The company will add to your account an amount of local currency equal to or greater than the Marketplace value of those points. When you next redeem a Points card or code, those Points will be retired, and your account will begin using your local currency instead.
