Friday Video: Ouendan 2 footage helps us out

Do we need an excuse to put up videos from Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2? Well, it's Friday, and that means videos, which obviously means there's a need for Ouendan footage. Also, we really dig that title.

We don't do a lot of importing around here, but exceptions may have to be made in this case. Check after the jump to see why we're loving Ouendan almost as much as our favorite Ace Attorney.

Friday Video: Just wait 'til we get Jam Sessions ....

This week was such a killer on the news front that we decided it might be a good idea to seek out a kinder, gentler week-ending video. Something ... soothing. And something that makes us all wish we could play the guitar as well as this guy does as he picks out the Mario theme. Check it out after the jump.

Of course, we've got to ask: anyone else playing (or trying to play) game themes on their own?

Friday Video: History and strategy

A combination of sim and strategy plus online multiplayer means that you probably don't care much what Anno 1701 looks like, at least, if you're a strategy fan. It's playable? Great, say the devotees. That's all we need.

The rest of us, however, like a little video action, and we've got this PC-to-DS game on display after the jump. In Anno 1701, your mission is to civilize the wilds of North America; discover appropriate land, stick a flag in it, and build your civilization.

For added giggles, consider that this game is being released for the DS in the UK and Australia, and not in the U.S. (at least, for now). Sounds like a case of art imitating life to us. For all you Brits, this is your chance to get in there and show us colonists who's boss!

Friday Video: Masters of drums

Since Taiko Drum Master was announced this week for the DS, and we also happen to be a little fond of rhythm games, we thought we'd bring you another pair of videos dedicated to getting your drum on. The first makes us yearn for arcades, because there's nothing like huge drums or motorcycles and steering wheels to really get you in the game. We also want that guy's skill, because he really knows how to rock out. The video was originally posted to Chris Kohler's Game|Life blog, so you've probably seen it before, but we felt it was a good finisher for the week.

The second shows off a Taiko Drum Master mini-game featured in Nodame Cantabile, which was recently released in Japan.

Friday Video: Make it a double

In honor of our week of fanboy love, we thought we'd give you not one, but two videos. It's a double shot of wacky Nintendo commercial goodness ... and we hope the fact that they're not new doesn't put you off. After all, the top two DS games aren't exactly new, so we had to take a little trip back in time to grab these two commercials, but it was worth it. Light on the gameplay and heavy on the funny, these two ads make for a good end to the week.

Friday Video: It's raining Pokeballs


Go Nintendo has posted a new commercial for the upcoming Pokemon: Diamond & Pearl games and we have to say it is one of the most epic game commercials we've seen in a while -- which makes it perfect for this week's video spotlight. It really gets us pumped for the new game and if you're a Pokemon fanatic, we imagine you're probably going to pass out after watching it and probably convulse on your floor for a few hours. Do us a favor: grab a popsicle stick or something else to bite down on. We don't want you to swallow your tongue after checking this out.

Head on past the post break for the seizure-inducing commercial.

Friday Video: Ranching, now with monsters

There's something you guys will figure out in the coming months, so you might as well just accept it now: a certain girl-type blogger around these parts loves Monster Rancher. So get ready for random odes to the art of ranching, like today's featured video. Some people call it an ad. We call it art. Someone bring over a countdown timer, please. The time cannot pass quickly enough.

(Someday, someone's going to make a video mashup of Castlevania, Final Fantasy, and Monster Rancher, and I'm simply going to die.)

Friday Video: Everyone's favorite attorney

Since we never cover anything Phoenix Wright-related, we thought we might relent for once and put him in this week's video spotlight. Don't start expecting it. You know we can't stand those silly games. Rubbish, all of them!

We're practicing for April Fools. Did it work? Hit the jump for a special Gyakuten Saiban 4 trailer while you ponder.
