Kenichi Nishi emailed this morning to ask if I would ‘advertise’ his new game, Newtonica. Of course I will, Ken!
Nishi has revealed very little about the game other than the fact that it will be exclusive to the iPhone and will utilise minimal graphics and sound. While Nishi has planned and designed the whole concept [...]

I should have reported this ages ago but I’ve been super busy with work all week.
If you happen to be in Tokyo this weekend then get yourself over to the Tokyo Big Site where the Design Festa convention is taking place. Kenichi Nishi will be there once again demoing ArchimeDS and selling copies at a [...]

Kenichi Nishi has updated his blog with a post that appears to suggest a new game may be in development. Babelish isn’t helping too much with the text but the accompanying photograph appears to be taken from inside the offices of Sarugakucho.

Destructoid is reporting that Archime DS will be released in the U.S.A this May under the new name of L.O.L. But is it a new name at all?

I sent an email to Kenichi Nishi at Route24, yesterday. You know, just to let him know that this blog existed. He was kind enough to mention the blog on his own site and traffic has increased as a consequence. Thanks Kenichi!
But that’s not all. Nishi-san was also good enough to email me. He thanked [...]

It might take me months to get around to telling you why Archime DS is one of the best games ever made. In the meantime, why not try this review? It’s very informative and has some great pictures too.
