Review: JU-ON: The Grudge

It's almost Halloween, and if you're anything like me, you're going to try to make the most of it. Playing survival horror games can be one way of doing that, but the way the genre has evolved (o...
Sorry Canada, no Half-Minute Hero for you

Apparently, if your game doesn't have French in it, Quebec won't let you sell it. This is probably something our millions of Quebec readers already knew, but one of them, Destructoid reader Mike,...

XSEED Games has announced that they'll be bringing over KORG DS-10 Plus over to America in early 2010. KORG DS-10, in case you're an idiot and haven't been following, is a music-creation program ...
Two minutes of The Grudge Wii is right proper creepy

Half-Minute Hero rocking the PSP's face off October 13

HALF-MINUTE HERO! Yes, the game deserves an all-caps introduction because I am that excited for its release. The game's looked hot ever since it was first announced, and the PSN demo sealed the d...
Trick or Treat: Ju-On hits shelves October 13th

I really want XSEED's Ju-On: The Grudge, even though I'm pretty sure it's the type of game I'm going to play for thirty minutes and then only put on for Halloween parties. Whatever though, I'm a ...
Preview: Half Minute Hero

People like to tell me that I don't have a very strong attention span. Like it's my fault that chickens are consistently funny and that the socio-political situation of 17th century English Renai...
XSEED says Fragile will retain its Japanese voice track

Playing Muramasa: The Demon Blade recently, I've noticed that the lack of English voiceover actually seems to add to the game rather than subtract from it -- the spoken Japanese actually goes wel...

Review: Little King's Story

Little King's Story is a new game from the creative minds behind Super Mario RPG, Final Fantasy VII, and Harvest Moon. A superstar collaboration of this nature would be the stuff of non-stop disc...
Preview: Little King's Story

Rumortoid: RIZ-ZOAWD coming to NA, losing anagram fun

What the heck is RIZ-ZOAWD? If you're like me and rely on Destructoid for most of your gaming news, then you may have never heard of it, as it appears we've never mentioned it. Those of you who h...

Little King's Story goes gold, also new videos

Alright, so after Dale's preview of Little King's Story at E3, you might have gotten the impression that he didn't like it so much ... or at least, that he was too tired to talk about it. Having ...
Want Retro Game Challenge 2 localized? Open up that wallet

In a recent Siliconera interview with Xseed's President Jun Iwasaki and Director of Publishing Ken Berry, there's a tad bit of tit for tat over what would need to happen in order for Retro Game C...
Xseed: Losing Muramasa opened the door for Fragile

Like many games developed by small Japanese studios, Vanillaware's Muramasa: The Demon Blade has something of a shaky history. Questions about whether or not it would be imported, and by whom, cr...
E3 09: XSEED shows off more of Fragile

Fragile: Sayonara Tsuki no Haikyo was easily one of my most wanted games the moment screens and info started to pop up for it last year. After Dale got time for a hands on at last year's Tokyo Ga...

Oh happy day! XSEED brings Ju-On:The Grudge to the US

Some days, the seemingly eternally cynical attitude of some gamers really gets me down, but today is not to be one of those days. I don't care what people have to say about this game, because I a...

Muramasa: The Demon Blade ships off to a new publisher

I've been waiting patiently for the US release of Oboro Muramasa Youtouden, known here as Muramasa: The Demon Blade. Japanese-literate friends who have imported it are already raving about it, an...
New Muramasa: The Demon Blade trailer earns my respect

Good god, this game looks incredible. I know I've said it before, but I have to say it again. The closer we come to seeing a US release, the more excited I find myself about it. It comes out in J...
XSEED announces Drill Sergeant Mindstrong for WiiWare

This is a weird one, but it's coming from XSEED so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Drill Sergeant Mindstrong is a title coming to WiiWare next month. With a militaristic theme, players have to ...
XSEED brings Drill Sergeant Mindstrong! to WiiWare

I normally don't really care for minigames (Rhythm Tengoku and Wario Ware being two of the only exceptions), but it sounds like XSEED could be bringing something really interesting with their fir...

XSEED games sent us this trailer for the next installment in the Harvest Moon spin-off series, Rune Factory. This is the first in the series to be developed for console (the previous titles were ...
XSEED launches the official Web site for Avalon Code, also trailer

Of course, the DS has its fair share of RPGs (and I am totally fine with that, no matter how many appear on the little handheld), but Avalon Code wins points with me simply because it was made by...
XSEED says Little King's Story will likely be late

Considering that Little King's Story has already been delayed from the supposed Winter 2008 release date, another little shove doesn't come as much as a surprise, but when you are looking forward...

Fatal Frame IV, the latest in the popular survival horror series, has been in a questionable place regarding a North American release, with Nintendo of America being typical NoA and seeming unlik...
TGS 08: Suda51's Flower, Sun and Rain coming to DS in 2009

If Suda51 is involved with a project, I tend to like it quite a bit. While I rest assured that the majority of fan attention is resting on the announcement of No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle...
Muramasa: The Demon Blade confirmed for Wii-exclusive release

I may feel a little dejected about the recent news of Muramasa's release delay (we won't see it until 2009), but it's sincerely difficult to get too blue when you see art and screenshots like the...
Sad! Muramasa: The Demon Blade pushed back to 2009

Do I want Muramasa: The Demon Blade? Oh yeah, you bet I do. I loved every color-drenched moment of Odin's Sphere, and when I heard that Muramasa (also known by it's Japanese title, Oboro Muramasa...
These Valhalla Knights 2 videos are just ... no

[video]105340:435[/video] I've never played Valhalla Knights, and if these videos for the sequel are indicative of the series, I think it's very understandable. Why was the above video even relea...
