"Upon hearing that we were in store for another AR-driven experience, a part of me resisted the idea; which part exactly, I'm not sure, but I guess there's some bitterness over past experiences I didn't even know existed. With all due respect to titles that have pulled this off, it was only after witnessing The Hidden's unsettling execution that I became extra cautious about how this functionality would be used in the future. Consequently, it was as if I was already put off by the very notion of another team using AR as a footstool towards something original." -- Wiiloveit.com
"Just a month ago, Genius Sonority announced that their free-to-play Nintendo 3DS RPG, The Denpa Men RPG Free!, had crossed 500,000 downloads. This morning, they announced that the game has been downloaded over 1 million times.
In commemoration of the event, three in-game Jewels are being offered to players from October 7th – 14th, among other bonuses. In order to avail these, players will need to “check in” to the game. Special in-game decorations are also being sold via an event shop."
If you enjoyed last year’s The Denpa Men: They Came By Wave, you’ll be pleased to hear that the Japanese studio is interested in returning to the franchise – on the condition that the recently-released sequel, Beyond the Waves, sells favourably in the Nintendo eShop.
Three SNES Kirby games hit the Wii U eShop today, plus, get The Denpa Men: They Came by Wave for 20% off ($7.99) through May 30. Also, buy two Kirby games, get the third free; this offer ends on May 30, as well.
good dead on kirby
if I hadn't already bought the dream collection on wii i'd take advantage of this.
It's awesome to see Nintendo do provide value like this, hopefully, they'll do more of it in the future.
i went on to the eshop. and all i can find that got released today was "super ghost n' goblins"
The Nintendo Download press release is released in the morning, but the actual updates don't go live until Thursday afternoon.
I'm surprised Naruto games are still coming over, despite them no longer running new episodes for Ship. Currently, only Naruto is on tv, on toonami. It will take years to get to ship. Hopefully by then, XD's rights will have expired and toonami can snatch it up. Disney XD doesn't air Naruto Ship. anymore. I also hope Toonami doesn't show the filler hell either. I don't want 100 episodes of pure filler. The first filler arc would be ok to show (only 3 episodes IIRC), ties into Ship. with Sakura saying she wants to train with Tsunade, which oddly, she did.

Author says: "To allow for lighting discomfort or just a plain insensitivity to the whole idea of this method of navigation, players who may be more reserved can actually keep this as a strictly virtual simulation by pressing the X Button, giving the space a patterned background that is uninfluenced by real-world images."
In actuality, this has nothing to whatsoever to do with what the author suggests. This is a Japanese game that was originally published for Japanese people. The Japanese hate to be photographed by strangers. The "manner mode" (it is even labelled as such in this game) was designed solely so the Japanese could search for Denpa Men without photographing strangers.
Interesting cultural and gaming issue...
