Clock Tower - Halloween 2015 Let's Play featuring Nubs in Cubes

Not a lot of horror games were played by us this month, especially with big events such as ESGS 2015 just wrapping up but we were able to sneak in a Let's Play with Migs from the Nubs in Cubes. Aside from the Until Dawn let's play thats currently going on. Here's a look at the first Clock Tower game that came out on the Super Famicom way back in 1995. An old point and click style horror mystery during the 16bit era. New episodes of this will go up everyday until Halloween.

Takara Tomy A.R.T.S. Nintendo Controller Keychain Lights

A friend of mine posted a photo of a keychain shaped like a FamiCom controller that just had to have. Takara Tomy released a gashapon set that's part of their Takara Tomy A.R.T.S. line which is usually comprised of miniature figures of various game consoles. These are from the first part of their Nintendo Controller Light series. Featuring the 1-P version of the Japanese FamiCom controller, a Super FamiCom controller, a Nintendo 64 controller and a Wiimote that comes in both white and black version. One of the buttons on the controllers, when pressed, illuminates either a red or orange colored LED.

I initially hard trouble finding gashapon machines that had these and when I did find some, they were already empty. Luckily, there's a machine in the Toys R' Us of Robinsons Galleria. They go for 2 tokens each (120php in total) and from my experience, the most common one is the 1-P FamiCom controller. There's a Part 2 set of Takara Tomy's Nintendo Controller Lights that will feature the 2-P FamiCom controller, a different form of the FamiCom controller that came out with the third body of the FamiCom, an indigo colored Gamecube controller, and Wiimotes that come in white and red.

Samurai Jack: The Amulet of Time

Cartoon licenced games don't tend to be good, mediocre at best, but there are some that when looked at closely and buffed just a little bit turn out to be gems. Samurai Jack: The Amulet of Time is one of them. A GBA (Gameboy Advance) game with a bit of RPG and Metroidvania elements and controls that require you to be cautious with your actions. Samurai Jack: The Amulet of Time is a fun little side scroller that's very true to the show. Watch as I jump into Aku's twisted future and try to find a way back to the past.

A dark secret behind the assist trophy?

Has anyone ever noticed how creepy the assist trophy looks in the new Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and for WiiU?

Assist trophies are an item in the Super Smash Bros. series starting from Brawl and also appearing on Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for WiiU and would summon a random characters from vairous video games. I'm not saying there's a creepy pasta going around about the assist trophy because as we all know, Smash Bros. is played out by a child's imagination using toys and action figures of various Nintendo characters and then some but compared to the assist trophy item design in brawl, the one for SSB4 looks a tad scary.

In Brawl, the assist trophy looked like an action figure in a small glass display case. In SSB4, instead of an action figure of a non-descript toned male in a dynamic stance, they opted for what looks like a ethereal deformed child with blank white eyes. Like something out of the side scrolling puzzle platformer, Limbo.

Could this be a representation of one of the developer's or possibly Sakurai's thoughts, doubts or feelings during the development of Super Smash Bros. 4? Happy halloween, guys.
