You know the hero in Lufia II is going to be badass.

If you’re an RPG fan, then you may have observed that the DS is in dire need of more action RPGs. Notice that for every Lunar Knights, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, Phantasy Star 0, The World Ends With You, and Mario & Luigi, there are months (or even years) of waiting between them. And beyond these games, there aren’t that many options in the subgenre worthy of your hard-earned money.

The next action RPG you should be looking forward to is coming, but again, you’re going to have to wait. Lufia II, as revealed in the new trailer, is coming to Japan on February 25, 2010.

Can the Super Nintoaster toast bread? Nope.

Can the Super Nintoaster toast bread? Nope.

Thought the Nintendo purse was awesome sauce? Yes, we think so too. There’s just one problem– only women can use it. Great news! We found a new Nintendo mod/gadget that’s a bit more gender-friendly. Sounds too good to be true? Perhaps, especially since you can’t really lug around a toaster. Presenting, the Super Nintoaster!

No, not this fossil!

No, not THIS fossil!

The financial recession can truly make or break people. In Christopher Locke’s case, it’s the former. With a little bit of creativity and concrete, Chris was able to fashion a few “modern” fossils in the form of gadgets. Ever thought what a Nintendo controller would look like several million years into the future? Now’s your chance.
