Turn Ghost Tricks online with Flash demo →
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective doesn’t come out here until January 11th, but thanks to Capcom and GameSpot, you can play a free Flash demo of the game online now!
Though I didn’t play through the entire thing, it seemed like a tutorial and introduction to the story, which you could probably figure out from most of the videos we’ve posted. Still, it’s a chance to see the...

More Cave Story for DSi owners, Europeans
Cave Story DSiWare is out! It doesn’t have the option to play with updated graphics and music like the WiiWare version, but this is portable, uses the second screen for map/weapons, offers a modified Sanctuary Time Attack mode, and has the new unlockable music player. Also, this is 200 points cheaper than its console counterpart.
From the early impressions I’ve read, Cave Story...

I’m sure both you and your wallet are experiencing severe fatigue right now due to a long weekend (and week, even) of sale announcements. So here’s another one! There’s no way I can pass up alerting you to the first Cyber Monday sale — first sale of any kind, in fact — at Attract Mode. Here’s what’s available (still no e-boning):
1-Up MegaZine Issue 3:...

Cyber Monday: Game deals, no online sex →
It’s bad enough that retailers have people literally buying into the idea of Cyber Monday, a scheme to extend the shopping-filled Thanksgiving weekend; they had to go and call it Cyber Monday, as if it were actually a date devoted to people having virtual sex and/or bangin’ a website.
But no, some dudes thought it brilliant to associate this day of online sales with the word Cyber,...

Reformat the Planet available from Amazon and... →
In the event you want to buy Reformat the Planet, 2 Player Productions’ awesome NYC chiptune/Blip Festival documentary, but don’t want to get it from Fangamer and get cool t-shirts and buttons and stuff, well, you can preorder it now from Amazon, to ship out December 7. That’s when the DVD set will be released to the wider world of retail — it was released exclusively...

Hella cheap PSP bundle and other deals →
We tend to focus on Nintendo deals here, particularly of the DSi and XL variety lately, but for those of you looking to expand your handheld horizons, Amazon has a great sale for a PSP-3000 bundle that’s as cheap as a DS Lite.
For $129, you can get a PSP-3000, a copy of Little Big Planet PSP, a Karate Kid remake UMD (lol), a 1GB memory stick, and a $15 game credit for Amazon. Free...

Old Golden Sun commercial finally makes sense...
Back in 2001 when Nintendo released the first Golden Sun for GBA, the company produced this neat commercial that seemingly had nothing to do with the game.
Check out some of the insane explanations Youtube commenters came up with to justify the commercial:
“It’s just showing the maestro controlling the orchestra in a epic battle like we control the players in the game thus...

Inazuma 11 for Europe, Ni no Kuni's tome
More than two years since Level-5’se soccer/RPG series debuted in Japan, Nintendo has announced plans to publish the first Inazuma Eleven game in Europe on January 28. It makes sense considering the franchise’s anime tie-in has been playing in that region for several months now — the U.K. won’t get the title until the anime begins airing there.
This is no guarantee the...

$25 credit with new Orange, Green DSis →
Though they’re not as nice as slick as the Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary DSi XL (IMO), Amazon has sweetened the deal for the limited edition Orange and Green DSis by throwing in a $25 game credit if you buy the bundles!
So, even if you don’t like the pack-in game, Mario Party DS, you’ll have enough credit to purchase something extra to enjoy with your new handheld —...

Zombie BBQ's unused European covers
Remember all that unused artwork (many of it NSFW) that Gammick and EnjoyUp didn’t include in Little Red Riding Hood’s Zombie BBQ final release? Well, here’s more of it!
Since this was originally supposed to hit stores in Europe, design company Ikari Studio created a couple boxart options for the region. Since it later turned into a DSiWare release — it will hit U.S....

Donkey Kong Country Returns reviewed: this is what... →
If my Tiny Cartridge output has been limited, terse, and kind of angry lately, it’s because I’ve been having my ass kicked by Donkey Kong Country Returns over the last few days. You can see the results here — and, to be clear, I mean the resulting Joystiq review, not my bruised ass.
The review seems to have been received better than I expected, because most of the comments...
