Analyzing No More Heroes 2, part 2: The bosses, part 2 [These posts on No More Heroes 2 are purely speculation. I have no idea what the team at Grasshopper Manufacture intended for the game to mean; I can only speak to what I've taken away from it, s...
Can I get a hand-clap? Blaster Master: Overdrive video We got the news yesterday that a remake/sequel to Blaster Master called Blaster Master:Overdrive would be hitting WiiWare this Monday, but all we had to go on were some small, blurry screenshots...
Here comes the new Pokemon... We've known for a little while that an all new Pokemon game is in the works, but that could mean a million different things. It could be a puzzle game, a Wii spin-off with Nintendo 64 quality gra...
New Blaster Master game coming to WiiWare this Monday?!? Jesus, where the hell did this come from? Did someone at Sunsoft forget to do PR for the past few weeks, or did they think that the less time we have to anticipate a game, the more likely we are ...

Bit.Trip RUNNER pays tribute to Vib Ribbon and Pitfall! IGN just got exclusive video of Bit.Trip RUNNER in action, and I'm totally freaking out. As a huge fan of Sony's now abandoned rhythm platforming series Vib Ribbon, the original Atari 2600 versio...
A better look at the stuff cut fromTatsunoko Vs Capcom A while back, we got an obscured look at this image from Capcom's "Secret File" promotional mini-magazine focusing on Tatsunoko Vs Capcom. It showed blurry images of Ace Attorney's Phoenix Wright...
Reminder: European WiiWare demos end on January 31 The story goes like this -- Nintendo finally adds a few WiiWare demos to the Wii Shop Channel. After that, the five games that are graced with demos see a mild to extreme increase in sales. Peopl...
Review: No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle At the time of this writing, I have just finished No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle after a 16-hour marathon play through, with occasional breaks to nap and go to the bathroom. This is not the...
Get a slighlty darker Pichu for free at Gamestop Jan 30th I'm not one to complain about free stuff, but what the f*ck? Really? A "Pikachu colored Pichu"? That's a thing I can have? Aren't all Pichus pretty much Pikachu colored already? Am I missing some...
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Wii vs PS2 FIGHT! A lot of people I know skipped the Wii version of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and went for the slightly cheaper PS2 port, assuming that the two games would look identical. Turns out that the...
Capcom's talks Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, shiny faces I really wish this video could have been compressed into a podcast, because it's really better to listen to than to watch. Still, there is some good content here for anyone who's still trying to ...
Me against the pros: A Tatsunoko Vs Capcom video I understand that you might be sick of hearing about Tatsunoko vs. Capcom by now, and for that, I'm sorry. Then again, you can just ignore this video if you're that upset about all this event co...
Troma + Capcom = Death Disease Contamination Dead Rising Dead Rising is like a Troma movie you can play, and I mean that in a good way. In case you don't know, Troma is the production company behind such crap-cult, horror/comedy classics as The Toxic ...
Here's what the people think of Tatsunoko Vs Capcom If you read (or scrolled down to the end of) the Dtoid review of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, then you already know what I think of the game. But hey, I'm a (sort of) gaming journalist, right? My life,...
Capcom producer keen on borrowing Mario, Smash Bros In my recent chat with Ryota Niitsuma, the producer behind Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, I was shocked by how sincerely and repeatedly the guy spoke well of Nintendo, and how interested he was in borrowin...
Capcom: 'If you make a good game, people will buy it' A lot of publishers have been having trouble figuring out how to make more money off their Wii games. We've heard from some folks at Capcom say that "hardcore" gamers have moved on from the Wii, ...
Review: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars When I tell one of my fighting game-playing friends that Capcom's releasing a new fighting game called Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, the first thing they ask is, "What's a Tatsunoko?", frequently with an...
Video interview: Capcom's Ryota Niitsuma Here's the first video in a God-knows-how-many video series from last Saturday's Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars launch event. This one focuses on Capcom big-wig Ryota Niitsuma. He's a ...
Phoenix and Ingrid may still come to Tatsunoko Vs Capcom In a recent interview with Ryota Niitsuma, the producer of Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, I learned that Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney) and Ingrid (Capcom Fighting Evolution) still may weasel their way into...
No More Heroes 2 launch vid > Mass Effect 2 launch vid As hypnotic as Naomi's fresh pair of implants may be, that video isn't what this post is about. For the real No More Heroes 2 launch trailer, you'll have to hit the jump (due to NSFW language). ...
Bit.Trip RUNNER looks insane, promises to totally rule Bit.Trip was easily my favorite new IP of 2009. BEAT, CORE, and VOID are all amazing in their own ways, but as great as they are, they couldn't have prepared me for this. Bit.Trip RUNNER, the fou...
New Wii game makes with the battle cries 'n decapitations The game is Zangeki no Reginliev, the first M-rated title (or at least, the Japanese equivalent of that rating) to be published by Nintendo of Japan. It was developed by the creators of the Xbox...
'Welcome to my toilet' No More Heroes 2 video dev diary One of the hardest things about working here is trying to come up with catchy and fun stuff in a matter of seconds after getting a news tip. The process is like a combination of improvisational c...
Muscle March launch trailer imitates greatness I get a real "Mr. Sparkle" vibe from this video, and it's not necessarily a good thing. Maybe that's just because I'm just getting into Muscle March right now after months of anticipation, but I...
Is Jimmy Fallon in Dark Void Zero? I just started in on Dark Void Zero, and it's pretty fun. There's lots of stuff to collect, good level design, multiple weapons, and perhaps most importantly, Captain Jimmy Fallon. From what I ca...
Get your 4-bit artwork in the next Bit.Trip game Art contests can really suck sometimes. They take energy and skill, and who has much of either these days? Easier to enter a contest that only requires you to post a picture of an ugly person, or...
Good news/Bad news: Tatsunoko Vs Capcom NYC event update How about the bad news first? I was wrong and community member The Average Guy was right; Capcom and Nintendo wont be selling Tatsunoko Vs Capcom at the launch party on Jan 23rd at the Nintendo W...
Muscle March coming this Monday for just five bucks Did you know that the initial trailer for Muscle March was one of the most viewed video posts on Destructoid in 2009? It got nearly half a million hits last year. Not bad for a game we all thoug...
Mega Man 10's bosses have interesting personal lives Like Conrad, I'm a little worried about Mega Man 10. Ever since I heard that Capcom wants to make the game as good as Mega Man 4 (my least favorite game in the series), I've had the feeling that ...
No More Heroes 2 vids: Fat Kid Panty Kitty Party Edition MegaStryke and I recently made a bet that on No More Heroes 2's potential sales. I think that if the game gets a 9 or better from Game Informer and other major gaming news outlets, then it could...
Tatsunoko Vs Capcom launch event set for Jan 23rd!! This rules for three reasons -- 1) I get to play Tatsunoko Vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars three days earlier than planned, 2) I don't have to worry about immediately dividing my attention between ...
Why didn't Nintendo name their new Mario Bros characters? New Super Mario Bros. Wii is on the fast track to becoming one of the best-selling games of all time. Less than three months after release, the game has already moved more than nine million copie...
Capcom may be bring back an old series, now with Natal I could give a rat's ass about Natal. I'm yet to see anything for the motion controller that excites me. That's more of a reflection of the thing's current game line-up than anything else. "What ...
People are saying that the guys at Rockstar NYC are jerks People often hate their bosses. That's why I'm not particularly surprised to hear that the team at Rockstar San Diego (responsible for Midnight Club: Los Angeles) had a rough time under the rule ...
Shmupping with Tatsunoko Vs Capcom just got shmuppier The excellent side-game starring Lost Planet's PTX-40A included on the disc is one of the reasons I gave the Japanese build of Tatsunoko Vs Capcom a 9.0. It's a 4-player shmup with three levels, ...
A No More Heroes 2 panty-flash jump-cut bonanza of excite Every time I see that there is a new set of No More Heroes 2 videos on the internet, I expect to be let down. So far, that hasn't happened. Though this latest set of videos doesn't have a whole ...
10 tips and tricks for 3rd parties working on Wii games By December 8, 2006, Nintendo had launched the Wii in the United States, Japan, and Europe. The console effectively ignored or destroyed every notion of what a new videogame console should be. "P...
Capcom's Seth Killian squirms about Mega Man 10 rumors Here's a (pretty much) direct transcript of the final moments of my recent conversation with Capcom's Seth Killian- Me-"There are rumors going around that March's Mega Man 10 will have a co-op mo...
Dark Void Zero started as a joke, doesn't play like one One of my most anticipated DS games of 2010 is Dark Void Zero. Why? Because I trust Capcom when it comes to NES-era gaming. Other than a few outliers like Street Fighter 2010, I loved just about ...
Capcom looks back on 2009, teases new stuff for 2010 We're almost a week into the new year, and I'm still not used to it. I'm still writing "09" on stuff on a regular basis. Although 2009 is definitely over, I still feel like 2010 hasn't really sta...
Left 4 Dead de-make festers with ikari quest warriors That Left 4 Dead NES-looking demake is finished, and it's pretty fun. In case you couldn't tell from the headline, the game plays like a triple crossbreed between Left 4 Dead, Fester's Quest, and...
New sexy character revealed in Tatsunoko Vs Capcom It had been rumored for a while, but now it's confirmed; the ironically named female fighter Yatterman 2, is playable in this month's Tatsunoko Vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars. Gamespot got the exc...
Oh, now you tell me! Castlevania ReBirth's stage select A couple of days ago, I posted a review of Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth. I gave the game an 8.5, which means I liked it a lot. I did have a few problems with it, though: it doesn't add anyt...
Sega sad about M-rated games on Wii, blames 13-year-olds Would Arrested Development have been canceled if it were on Comedy Central? Would Joss Whedon's past two shows have survived if they had aired on SyFy? Maybe, maybe not, but either way, you don't...
Review: Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth One of my New Year's resolutions is to cut to the chase, so here goes. If you like traditional Castlevania games, buy Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth right now. You will enjoy it. Contrary to ...
The most wanted DS games of 2010 It's time for a new DS. I don't mean a new iteration of the DS we've been using for six years, I mean a new system; something more powerful than the PSP that can also double as a stun gun or a Fo...
Already? Final Fantasy XIII now #4 on the Japanese charts Do I need to get my eyes checked? Did Final Fantasy XIII, one of the most advertised, hyped games of the past four years, just get outsold by New Super Mario Bros Wii, LoZ: The Spirit Tracks, and...
The most wanted Wii games of 2010 When we did this list last year, one of the best Wii games of 2009 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii) hadn't even been announced yet. That was just one of the surprises that Wii owners had in the last 1...
Review: Pallurikio "Everyone would love to stay with Pallurikio all day long." That's one of the opening lines from the tutorial of Pallurikio, a new puzzle/platforming game on WiiWare. It's also a lie. Everyone wo...
Sega's Holiday gift to Wii owners: Genesis games on sale Just clicked on the Wii Shop channel to see if there were any Christmas surprises, and wadda-ya-know, Sega's putting some of their Genesis games on sale. Sonic 1, 2, and 3, Gunstar Heroes, Street...
Blood and anger: No More Heroes 2's official website No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle is just a little more than a month away from launch, and it seems that Ubisoft is going to do their best to keep the game on our minds. They just launched an ...
Bit.Trip 4 is called Bit.Trip RUNNER, has Non Trotski So, the next game in the (totally amazing) Bit.Trip series officially has a name now. It's called Bit.Trip RUNNER, which has my narcissism-sense tingling like crazy. You see, I worked on a game c...
The definition of sexy: Muscle March flex-a-holic video People often ask me "Jonathan, you own just about every videogame console made in the past twenty years. Why is that you play the Wii so damn much?" I usually just respond with a coy giggle and ...
What are Phoenix Wright and Ingrid doing in TvC? Does anyone tease as mush as Capcom? Seems like they enjoy talking about the games they thought about making just as much as the stuff they actually finish. Take this sample from the Secret File ...

FFCC The Crystal Bearers coming in time for Hanukkah? So I got a text message from Gamestop today telling me that Final Fantasy Crystal Chronciles: The Crystal Bearers should be in the store tomorrow. This came as quite a shock, seeing as the game's...
