Gamertell Review: Naruto Shippuden: Shinobi Rumble for DS
It’s that time again – time for another Naruto video game. It’s Naruto Shippuden: Shinobi Rumble, an entry in Ninja Council series and localization of Naruto Shippuden: Ninjutsu Zenkai! Cha-Crash!!. On the plus side, it finally steps away from the Rescue Gaara Arc from the Naruto series, but it also has a very brief story mode with a limited character roster and no online multiplayer.
Naruto Shippuden: Shinobi Rumble has 16 ninjas ready to fight
Naruto is still an incredibly popular anime and manga series, so it’s not surprising to hear that another Naruto video game is headed to North America. Atlus and Tomy are going to release Naruto Shippuden: Shinobi Rumble, the seventh entry in the Naruto: Ninja Council series, on February 8, 2010. It’s a localization of Naruto Shippuden: Ninjutsu Zenkai! Chakrash!!…

Gamertell Review: Naruto: Clash of the Ninja Revolution 2 for Wii
When an anime is successful, video game publishers waste no time in localizing Japanese games for a worldwide market. Since Naruto is unquestionably one of the most successful series at the moment, this means plenty of Naruto video games.
Naruto: Clash of the Ninja Revolution 2 is one of the latest Wii Naruto games, and one of the best. While it is a straightforward fighting game, it also offers an interesting story mode, a large cast of fighters and interesting “missions” for players to accomplish…

Your DS can help you keep up with My DoItAll
Tomy is almost ready to release a new DS PDA, and it has already gone gold. My DoItAll is designed to be an affordable organizer (it only costs $29.99) for younger gamers, but may just be a good tool for all ages. I suppose the age range will be put to the test once the game’s released on February 10, 2009.
The My DoItAll program comes complete with a number of different activities and abilities that could make life easier. For example, you can exchange Friend Cards with other users that contain all important personal and contact information, you can play mini-games, vote in polls and take quizzes with six friends thanks to the multiplayer options. You can also plan activities with friends using the multiplayer modes. There is also a voice changer, a schedule, an avatar you can create, a world map and calculator. The game is also multilingual, and has English, French and Spanish language options.
What I’d have loved to have seen in My DoItAll, besides space between the words in the title, is…
Important Importables Mini: Save money while playing an LCD game
Brian Ashcraft, of Wired and Kotaku, discovered and wrote about an interesting new Japanese toy for both sites – Tomy’s LCD video game banks. There are three varieties released so far, a virtual life game called Jinsei Ginko, Ikemen Bank and BANKQUEST, and Ashcraft was lucky enough to get to play and invest with all three of them.
The three different banks all represent three different gaming genres, and each one is primarily played by inserting money. Jinsei Ginko is a life simulation, where your thriftiness can help a virtual man find his way to a better life. Ikemen Bank is actually an otome (girl’s dating sim/life sim) style bank, where saving money helps make the guys like you more. BANKQUEST is an RPG where you help the hero advance by contributing cash…
