Satoru Iwata (CEO Nintendo) passes away
http://gonintendo.com/stories/238321-satoru-iwata-president-of-nintendo-has-passed-away
Wow. First of all, seems sudden and condolences to his family and co-workers.
On the gaming side, does Miyamoto take over? What does this mean for NX? Are they going to go third party from here?

Thought experiment: surviving stuck in a basement for 10 years
If your game has these words in its title, it's a big red flag
If your game has these words in its title, it's a big red flag that it probably sucks:
Final
Fantasy
Dragon
Quest
Warrior
Sword
Legend
Adventure
Light
Dark(ness)
Demon
God(dess)
Destiny
Crystal(s)
Saga
Hero
Rune
Legacy
Spirit
Chrono
Time
Conquest
Any DBZ, Naruto, or Bleach related jargon (power level, burst limit, zanpaktou, Sharingan, etc)
Revenge
Ultimate
Eternal
If your game has these words in its title, it's a yellow flag. Proceed with caution.
Any title of nobility
Any land or fief designation referring to a title of nobility
Forgotten
Knight
Wing(s)
Lunar
Angel(ic)
Dream
Mana
Fire
Element
Moon
(x) of (y) - Three words in this format are your game's title.
(And yeah, I'm guilty of having a yellow flag game)

Every so often Tim Rogers writes a good article that isn't just tl;dr fare - this is one of them.

Aksys donating 100% of proceeds from game sales to Japanese relief effort
http://www.aksysgames.com/2011/03/16/japan-benefit-sale/ - a list of the games.
It's a good deal. Donate for a good cause, and get some free games in the process.

Square Enix loses all sanity, announces Final Fantasy 13-2

Must be nice to have $10 million or so to burn.

PS3 Hacked Wide Open - Watch PS3 Software sales collapse in 2011
http://psgroove.com/content.php?581-Sony-s-PS3-Security-is-Epic-Fail-Videos-Within&s=26b171031525193d18213f4f5e2e3a26
From what I understand, this lets you sign and run any code you want, meaning you don't even need to hack your PS3 to run pirated games (come on, the number of people running legitimate homebrew is probably infinitesimal) or any dongle/flashcart/etc. And due to the way the exploit works, it doesn't seem like something Sony can ever fix with a firmware update. It'll be interesting to see if PS3 software sales collapse in 2011.

They actually managed to come up with a game I'm looking forward to more than DQ10. Amazing.

Why NIS will be dead this time next year

One of the games they didn't cancel:

Nice knowing you, NIS. Hopefully someone other than Ignition picks up Gust's catalog for the US.
