Amazon's plethora of cheap games

Posted May 24th 2008 5:00PM by Candace Savino
Filed under: Sales

Amazon's "Deal of the Day" this fine Saturday is Trace Memory, a fun adventure game reminiscent of titles like Hotel Dusk and Phoenix Wright. While not as good as the other two (in this blogger's opinion), it's still a good (albeit short) game that's worth its current $8.99 sale price.

The fine folks at Cheap Ass Gamer also noticed some other low-priced DS software at Amazon, if you're looking for filler. These include:

My Word Coach for $9.99
Lunar Dragon Song for $9.47
Dragon Quest Rocket Slime for $14.99
Magical Starsign for $14.21
Gunpey for $11.99
Wario Master of Disguise for $14.21
Custom Robo Arena for $18.99
SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters for $14.21
Mega Man ZX Advent for $18.99
Sonic Rush Adventure for $21.99
Dungeon Explorer for $14.21

Those are exactly the kind of games that aren't worth buying at their full price (with perhaps a few exceptions), but are much more tempting when on sale. So, let us know if you see anything here that's worth recommending.

Bargain Explorer: Sale Unit

Posted May 5th 2008 10:00PM by Eric Caoili
Filed under: Sales

If Shiren the Wanderer's turn-based system was too slow-paced to satisfy your dungeon crawling needs, you might want to look into Dungeon Explorer: Warriors of Ancient Arts, Hudson's Diablo-esque hack-and-slash follow-up to the original TurboGrafx-16 game. Amazon has Dungeon Explorer discounted to $19.49, a generous price considering the game includes online support for up to four players and even a bit of voice chat.

And if you're neither a fan of dungeon crawling or dungeon exploring -- perhaps you just want to steer clear of dungeons altogether -- Amazon also has LifeSigns: Surgical Unit marked down to $19.49. While the LifeSigns series isn't as popular as that other surgery sim, Trauma Center, apparently a few of our readers are big fans of the game!

DS releases for the week of February 18th

Posted Feb 18th 2008 12:45PM by JC Fletcher
Filed under: News

It's a good week to be a DS gamer in pretty much any region. Europe is a possible exception, but we happen to think Paint by DS is a neat-looking product. Outside of Europe and its possibly compelling coloring game, quality abounds this week, with Capcom's Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney as the flagship release in the U.S. Whenever an Ace Attorney game comes out, it's a Big Deal in DS-land, and this one is especially noteworthy!

Japan is flooded with cool games this week, including Space Invaders Extreme, the remake, J.B. Harold Murder ClubPopulous DS, and even a new Harvest Moon. And Australia gets a shot at both Advance Wars and Cooking Mama 2! There's a pretty good chance you'll have something to buy this week.

DS releases for the week of February 11th [update]

Posted Feb 11th 2008 12:45PM by JC Fletcher
Filed under: News

Of course the biggest news this week for the U.S. is Professor Layton and the Curious Village. Not only was it a hit in Japan, but it's a Nintendo-published game, and that always means news. Many of you are probably getting your Layt on right now.

In case you aren't into Layton or are just curious about the rest of the North American releases, the list also contains, well, one other game: an interesting dungeon hack-and-slash that recalls Hudson's Turbografx-16 days.

The release list is somewhat more populous in other regions. Europe in particular is getting treated to some worthy releases (found after the break).

Dungeon Explorer: Warriors of Ancient Arts
Professor Layton and the Curious Village
Barnyard Blast: Swine of the Night

[Update: Amazon says that Barnyard Blast is out this week as well!]

Hudson bringing Dungeon Explorer Warriors of Ancient Arts to North America

Posted Nov 16th 2007 12:20PM by David Hinkle
Filed under: News, Screens

Originally a TurboGrafx16 title, the Dungeon Explorer franchise is receiving a revitalization on the DS and PSP come February. Being developed internally at Hudson, the differences between the PSP and DS versions should be distinct enough, however the DS will only feature 60 different fighting arts to the PSP's 150. On the plus side, the DS game probably won't take 30 minutes to load a dungeon.

Be sure to hit up our gallery below for some shots from the DS version of the game.

Dungeon Explorer website ready for exploring

Posted Sep 25th 2007 3:50PM by JC Fletcher
Filed under: Screens, Imports

Hudson's Dungeon Explorer: Warrior of the Arts website has been around since late August, but it wasn't until TGS that anyone outside Japan had any reason to care.

The latest updates to the site reveal a "form" system, which gives characters multiple elemental special attacks based on which of eight "schools" you choose to affiliate with. We also get a glance at the status screen, which shows, basically, a ton of upgradeable stats.

It's clear, at least, from the screens that this is going to be much more of a full RPG and less of an action game than the original Dungeon Explorer.

TGS07: An evident U.S. release for Dungeon Explorer

Posted Sep 21st 2007 10:40AM by JC Fletcher
Filed under: News

Dungeon Explorer was a Gauntlet-esque dungeon-crawling RPG that was released on the Turbografx-16 at launch. It's hardly the biggest franchise in the world, but it's one that Hudson has decided to resurrect for the DS and PSP in two different games.

Siliconera's Spencer Yip noticed that some of the demo stations were running an English version of Dungeon Explorer: Warrior of the Arts, which led him to conclude that the game will be released in the U.S. at some point. Being Turbografx-16 nerds, we welcome any future Dungeon Explorer games-- especially if the villain is still named Natas, and if the ending is as satisfying as the original game's secret ending.

We don't actually expect the new game to fulfill either condition. Modern gaming can be so depressing. Gamespot has character art and even a trailer. The trailer mentions Wi-Fi multiplayer and voice chat. Could that be enough to make a big hit of a dungeon crawler?
