Take a look back at Engadget's favorite Game Boy Advance games
On the 20th anniversary of the Game Boy Advance, the Engadget staff looks back at some of its favorite GBA titles.
Lunar Knights intro video
If you haven't picked up Lunar Knights yet, you can kick back and watch this video instead to get your fix. It's better than sitting around snacking on the Valentine's Day chocolate you're supposed to be saving for that special someone on Wednesday. It's us, right? We know. We like you, too.If the GameTrailers video (embedded after the jump) doesn't work, there is a lower quality version here at YouTube. We were so determined to make you watch the intro that we found it twice!
Friday Video: Long Lunar Knights trailer
Most of the trailers we've seen from Lunar Knights have been in Japanese, so we figured it was a good week to show off an English version. The video weighs in at nearly three and a half minutes of world-saving, vampire-crushing hotness, and manages to show off just about everything a gamer needs to decide whether or not this one is a must-have. Now that's what we call a trailer.
Metareview: Lunar Knights
We've approached Lunar Knights with enthusiastic abandon because, from the beginning, it's looked good enough to warrant screaming fanboyism. Everything looked good. Everything looked right. But there's always a chance that the best-looking games can turn out to be not at all what's expected, so we awaited reviews of Lunar Knights with bated breath. From the looks of things, however, there's nothing to worry about. 1UP -- 90%: "Lunar Knights ... is refined and improved over that of the GBA games. Elements that didn't work, such as the solar sensor, have been abandoned; the annoying coffin-dragging sections have been traded for fast-paced space shooter sequences. Meanwhile, character-building features have been expanded; the graphics have been improved, with full-motion anime clips sprinkled throughout the entirety of the quest; the music is superb."GameBrink -- 88%: "... a fun little ARPG presented in pretty much the same fashion as the previous GBA games but, with the introduction of the new weather and team system, the game has added depth to it. Excluding the side quests, the main scenario should give you several hours of fun!"Keep an eye out; we'll update later in the week as more reviews come in.
Lunar Knights on the air in Japan
What's with all the great ads from and for Nintendo lately? Even without knowing Japanese, these new Lunar Knights ads have us ready to kick a little vampire ass. Everything we've seen so far from Django and Sabata (er, Aaron and Lucian) has been so uniformly good that we're starting to worry that the game itself will be a disappointment. We're keeping some fingers crossed.We've embedded both the short and long commercials after the jump. Enjoy!
Lunar Knights conquer evil through site update, Wi-Fi confirmed
A media explosion just occurred over at the Japanese site for Lunar Knights: Vampire Hunters. While we suspected the game would make use of Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connect service, we may now report that the final boxart shown for the title features the logo, bringing much joy to our hearts. The site has received a ton of new content in the way of movies and screenshots, so anyone looking to hunt down vampires (even in space) should be especially excited for this title. Wi-Fi details have not been confirmed, but current speculation points to online co-op.See also: Between the darkness and the light: Lunar Knights Lunar Knights: a little action, a lot of fun
Lunar Knights: a little action, a lot of fun
Sometimes we get a little sulky and insist that Japan gets all the really fun stuff. The Japanese trailer for the forthcoming Lunar Knights makes the game look like a lighthearted romp with, y'know vampires. Light-hearted, killer vampires. Even the names in the Japanese version are more exciting. We get Aaron and Lucian -- they get Django and Sabata. How do you replace a name like Django? Can you really pull off a full-throated, primal roar with a name like "Aaron" or "Lucian?" No. But you sure can with Django. Go ahead, give it a try.Now isn't that better?The new site is open, and check after the jump for the spicy new trailer.
