WRUP: Complete lack of motivation edition


Maybe this week was extremely tough for us, or perhaps we're just imagining things, but we can't think of anything better to do than to crawl into bed and sleep forever. For some odd reason, we don't even have the desire to play any games. It's like pushing buttons and the like are too much work for us in our current state. Maybe we should just down a pot of coffee or something.

But, just because we're feeling that way doesn't mean you all are. Of course, it's the weekend and that means it's time to rejoice! With games! And, what games would you plan on celebrating another week down the drain with? Any of them going to be new releases?

WRUP: A bot of mega proportions edition


With this week's releases consisting of different games starring a robotic boy, if you're looking for a new game then you best be a fan of Capcom's Mega Man franchise. If you aren't (we'll pretend we didn't hear that), what games will you plan on rocking this weekend? We know if you live in Japan, you'll have plenty to play. Then again, if you live in Japan, you're probably a spoiled jerk.

Sorry, our jealousy gets the best of us sometimes.

WRUP: We're so totally jazzed for Bratz Ponyz edition


As far as this week's releases go, there's only one game we care about: Bratz Ponyz. Who needs puzzles and word problems this week, we want to dress up ponies with all of the latest fashion. Ever since we had to babysit our niece, we've been all kinds of obsessed with those Bratz girls (did you know a movie released today? We already bought our tickets!). Hey, we're not ashamed to say it! And, yes, we ordered the dolls.

So, where we'd normally ask what you're playing, we already know you're going to get your Bratz on with us. Hey, even if our review for Picross DS was favorable doesn't mean you should neglect a pony in need!

WRUP: We want to be the Taiko Drum Master edition


Oh, the reasons why we wish we were Japanese just keep piling on, as Japanese gamers celebrate the release of Taiko Drum Master on the DS this week. Seriously, we're dying to get our hands on this game. Sure, we could import it, but who wants to navigate Japanese menus? Damn our laziness!

Enough about us and our desires. What are you planning on playing this weekend?

WRUP: We wish we were Japanese edition


With the Japanese getting all of the good releases this week, we find ourselves in the same position we're always in: wishing we were Japanese. Like that musical group The Vapors, who found themselves "Turning Japanese," we would welcome the surprise of suddenly finding ourselves within that country's confines, ripped away from our all-too-familiar surroundings and thrust into a land where we do not speak the language. Actually, when we think about it, maybe that isn't such a good thing. We'd at least like to pack some clothes and a dictionary first!

Enough of us and our ridiculous imagination, though. We want to know what you're playing! So, do us a solid and tell us what you'll be playing on your DS this weekend? We swear we aren't selling the information to anybody!

WRUP: Post-E3 playing plans edition

With E3 coming to a close, you've no doubt many things to think about this weekend. Upcoming games and future enjoyment of them is probably on your mind right now, as it is ours. That doesn't mean your, or our, responsibility to enjoy some nice gaming over the weekend can be overlooked, though!

So, we ask: what are you playing? What will you be rocking in your DS this weekend? We've got some Puzzle Quest to play ourselves, having only given the game a few minutes of our time on its initial purchase.

WRUP: Sick of Sudoku edition


This week's releases might not be all that fabulous to those of us outside of Japan, but at least we're still getting something new to play. Even if it is just another Sudoku game. For us, it doesn't matter much, as our backlog just grows larger by the week, so we're already knee-deep in games that need to be played.

What about you? What will you be playing?

WRUP: The usual suspects edition


This week's releases are the usual for the DS: plenty of titles to choose from. For a first, though, there isn't much we're dying to get our hands on. We think we're going to give the old wallet a break this weekend. Who cares about us, though?

What will you be playing? Plan on picking up any of the new releases or will you be chiseling away on an older title

WRUP: So many games, so little time edition

With so many excellent games having released this week, no doubt many of you are having a tough time deciding on what new game (or games) to pick up, if any. As for us, we picked up a certain puzzle game and are considering joining the front lines, but have nothing else really planned for play in our DS Lite.

What about you, fine reader? Are you going to pick up something new or will you be rocking something a bit older? What are you playing?

WRUP: What is there to play edition


Sure, a few different games released this week, but for us in the United States, Zendoku and Time Ace got pushed back to next week. This leaves some game about a fabulous foursome or something. We could care less about that. What we care about is this planetary puzzle league we keep hearing about. We're playing that this weekend, but what about you?

What will you be playing?

WRUP: It's a wide world web out there edition

With the releases arriving this week, many of you U.S. readers are probably trying to get your surf on with your DS Phat or Lite. Other regions have more titles to choose from this week, so if you fall in that category, what do you plan on playing this weekend? For the rest of you in the U.S., will you be surfing the web, or are you looking to get your puzzlin' on?

What are you playing?

WRUP: Battlin' tanks edition

With this week's releases sitting on shelves in a store near you, we imagine if you're interested in any of them, it'll be Tank Beat. Of course, that only pertains to the U.S. as Europe finally gets their hands on Wario: Master of Disguise and Australia gets almost nothing. Japan, of course, gets the most, but we're all used to that round here.

So, what will you be playing this weekend? Will you pick up Tank Beat or Wario: Master of Disguise, or are these titles lacking that "need to buy" factor for you?

WRUP: Pirates vs. ninja edition

With a couple of different titles available this week, gamers will have to choose a side: pirates or ninja? Do you wish to swill rum and sail the high seas, or emerge from the shadows only to kill your enemies and return just as quick? These choices need to be made once in a person's life and now the time has arrived for you.

So, what are you playing this weekend?

WRUP: Touch the Dead edition

This week, we've got a handful of good games up for grabs in the United States, with Japan receiving even more than us (Ouendan 2!) and Europe playing their usual role (see: they got nothing). Sorry to hear that friends from across the pond! But, the question still needs to be asked: what are you playing this weekend?

Are you picking up (or have already picked up) Touch the Dead or Etrian Odyssey? Maybe you're planning on cracking the Code Lyoko? Let us know!

WRUP: Everyone's got Pokemans fever edition


With no new releases this week, we've got a good idea what you're playing. Heck, we're playing it too! Everyone is caught up in this Pokeman fever and for the first time since Pokemon Blue & Red, we're actually excited to boot the game up and level up our Pokemon. Oh, how they grow up so fast!

Not playing Pokemon? Well, what are you playing then?
