I had only been on staff here at Dtoid for two days when the inimitable Nick Chester unshackled me from the hazing pole and aimed the full force of his piercing, lazy-eyed glare in my direction, grinning with the sadistic glee that can only come from giving a green editor his first assignment. "Look kid, […]

Few developers in the gaming industry have such a carefully crafted image as Tomonobu Itagaki, head of Team Ninja and creator of the Dead or Alive franchise and Ninja Gaiden’s next-gen evolution.

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
A few days back we heard that Best Buy is dropping the 80GB PS3 model in their stores. That kicked off all kinds of wild speculation, and an analyst even chimed in, but now some new rumors point to two new models of PS3 in the works.

Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom was barely out the door before developer Blueside talked of a sequel, and it’s hardly surprising — by all accounts, Circle of Doom was a complete failure, so who can blame Blueside for reminding us that the next one would go back to the tactical roots that they’d eschewed […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Though parts three, four, and five lack the creepy stalker talk that made part two such a delightful read, these latest installments in a series of ongoing interviews between Nintendo of Japan President Satoru Iwata and Super Smash Bros Masahiro Sakurai still yield some interesting information.
Though it’s old news now, part three revealed that Kazushige […]
