Author ArchiveVideo Game Publisher and Developer Namco Bandai issued a recall in Japan today on the much-awaited game Tales of Graces. While the game has been out since Decemeber 10th in Japan, Namco apologized today to its fans and offered to replace the buggy copies. The replacements wil be handled by a mail-in system in Japan. People who imported this hit game are pretty much screwed, though.
Those looking forward to a Stateside release (like myself) will rejoice to know that we’ll be receiving the fixed version of the game which features smooth coding and far fewer issues when completing extra play-throughs.
Sadly, there is no word of when the American release date will be, and this recall has probably put any such plans for a near-term release on the back burner until the problems are fixed.
Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril, the first new Nintendo Entertainment System game in almost a decade and a half, was released by Retrozone and sold out instantly. Unlike many “new” NES games, Battle Kid is made with all new parts instead of gutted old ones.
The game features:
- Items that will allow progress to new locations of the fortress and grant you new abilities.
- Over 550 rooms, more than 30 enemy types, and 8 bosses stand between you and victory.
- Also featured are 5 difficulty settings and a password system.

Today 505 Games, best known for the Cooking Momma and Armored Core Franchises, announced the developers of the upcoming Wii and DS video game iterations of the 1978 Paramount classic, Grease. According to 505, Zoë Mode will develop for Wii, and Big Head Games will develop the DS version.
For those who have their fears regarding their translation from film to game, UK-based developer Zoë Mode has several hits among their accomplishments, including Guitar Hero 5, Singstar Pop Hits, and Chime. They’re known for making games that are fun and easily accessible by a wide audience but that also challenge the hardened gamer.
Big Head Games, another UK developer, was founded by the ex-directors of 8-Bit Games and have so far made several titles for the Apple App store such as Terminator and Hollywood Hotel.
Look forward to more information on both iterations of the Grease video game as they come out on Terminal Gamer.
Playtainment, the family game label of publisher RLT Interactive GmbH Games Publishing, released the fast-paced, touch-enabled game Fire Panic for the iPhone and iPod Touch today. RLT active has seen great success in the Apps store with its release of RLT Poll position, an app that tracks live standings in the Formula 1 race circuit.
Fire Panic features retro graphics and a “touch & play” mechanic. This gameplay mechanic is used by the players to plan routes from the fire station to the fire using a city map. The challenge may seem simple on paper, but it evolves over time as players have to account for other hazards such as traffic.
Playtainment also announced that there will be a DSi release sometime in the next couple of months.
