Yuji Naka's Ivy the Kiwi should be on the DS

A action/puzzle game with touch screen controls and a quirky art style? It's gotta be a DS game, right? Evidently not. Yuji Naka, former Sonic Team lead and now head of Prope, who made the crimi...

Square Enix forms mobile studio, more quality spin-offs headed your way

I think I'm starting to privately hate the Enix half of Square-Enix. Although I can't necessarily prove that they are the problem, I can say that before Square joined forces with them, I liked th...
Guitar Hero coming to cell phones; hopes not be drowned out by riotous laughter

There are multiple levels of ridiculous in all things from film to games. The announcement of Guitar Hero Mobile invents a whole new level of senselessness -- It's the equivalent of trying to mil...

Ghouls 'n Ghosts returns! Capcom releases the classic ... wait, for cell phones?

Hands-on: God of War: Betrayal

Most of the time, we wouldn't dare give up precious Dtoid front-page space to something as casual and, well, crappy as a cell phone game. But, when something is as big and done as well as God...
Keitai attack! Japanese cell phone games we'll never get

Unlike us here in America, the people in Japan actually play cell phone games. While reading the stories on Famitsu, I keep coming across cell phone games that actually look like fun. So tod...

Dyson has already talked a little about N-Gage's new vision, but here it is straight from their mouth in video form. Enjoy. *Props to Husky Hog for the camera and editing work.
GDC 2007: Mobile Games? People play those?

The scary thing about the Mobile Game Industry is that they seem no more sure of its ability to succeed than the gamer who reacts apathetically to it. I was curious about the real deal, so I chec...
LocoRoco coming to cell phones

While we would much rather see it on the PS3 (or DS, haha!) LocoRoco is coming to a cancer stick near you. Before defecating on Kotaku today, Sony announced that the once-exclusive PSP game will...
Glu Mobile signs on for N-Gage platform ... yes, that N-Gage platform

The N-Gage is coming back, baby -- whether you want it or not. And, in Nokia's first step toward mobile cell phone gaming and what not dominance, they've brought Glu Mobile on board to h...
Porn Manager 2 gameplay footage; wait, there was a Porn Manager 1?

You know how much we at Destructoid loves the pron (example one, two, three, four and five ... OK six). In fact, next to gaming, it's the reason we keep on living in this f*cked up world....
Duke Nukem 3D running on a cell phone

Crunk Golf? I need a drink ...

Lil' Jon, the rapper who is more well known for Dave Chapelle's spoof of his mannerisms than his actual musicianship, somehow got it into his head that lending his unfortunate "grill...
Another N-Gage? Nokia is run by hamsters, stupid hamsters [Update]

First, let me say that this news comes from The Register, so take it with a grain of salt, but apparently Nokia, the cellphone giant behind the previous two iterations of the handheld abortion ...
NBA 2K7 launch party: Hung over and cranky

Last night I got the chance to hang with some NBA pros as 2K Sports held a hectic little get together at the New York City club Home to celebrate the launch of NBA 2K7. This morning, I'm feelin...

19 second waste of time - exactly what youtube was made for. I wanna see them remake the 'Hello Moto' commercial now with Mario graphics and a 'Hello Mario' voice instead. Games sure have come ...
Cell games have come a long f*cking way.

The footage is not pre-rendered, it is real time on one of Nokia's new N-gage phones. A possible player customization includes texture mapping to create their own costumes. This is way too damn...

What's the best cell for gamers?

I'm about ready to throw my HelloMoto into oncoming traffic. I really want gaming, a solid camera, and if possible mp3 in there for under $300. I don't ask for much :) So! I was pretty damn e...
