Join Oliver in the wondrous world of Ni no Kuni.
The last big game development studio owned by the House of Mouse has closed.
Disney has shuttered Junction Point Studios. While it's good news for Disney's bottom line (and for people who don't enjoy games of low quality,) it makes one wonder who is at fault in a time like this. PB & Jason 113 explores that question a little bit, but in the end, the obvious conclusion, Warren Spector, is reached. Aside from that, issue 113 follows-up last week's Wired's Chris Kohler "Nintendo Direct Vaporware" article taking Kohler's follow-up article into consideration. PB & Jason also includes more Ni no Kuni, which admittedly, is shaping up not quite be the game expected, for better and for worse. All this and more in this week's PB & Jason!

A look at the ways to develop a character's abilities, skills, and attributes.
In the great tradition of wonderful trash, Platinum Games nails it again.
If you’ve been asking for more from your games, then Anarchy Reigns might be just what you need. It’s got more racial stereotypes, more campy dialogue, more leotard-clad dominatrixes, and more ridiculous fighting than you could ever need. If you want to groan at the thought of all of these disgusting and tired gaming fallbacks being crammed together, take heart! The entire crazy package is a total goof and it’s pulled off perfectly in one of the greatest send-ups of video game tropes ever made that’s also genuinely fun.
Don’t sleep on Nintendo’s latest strategy game.
The Nintendo 3DS is getting its fair share of great looking games in 2013. With games like Luigi’s Mansion 2, Animal Crossing, and Pokemon X and Y all coming out this year, there will be plenty for 3DS owners to get their hands on. Sooner than all of those comes the niche, but respected strategy game Fire Emblem: Awakening, the latest in a long series of strategy titles exclusive to Nintendo’s consoles. What I can tell you from my hands-on with the game is that not only is there a great game on the horizon, but it might just be one of the best 3DS games yet.
Not everyone on the internet was happy about yesterday's Nintendo Direct.
This week's PB & Jason focuses on two things: Ni no Kuni and Wednesday's Nintendo Direct. Expect to hear my evolving viewpoint on Level 5 and Studio Ghibli's hotly anticipated RPG in the next few weeks. Before I get ahead of myself, plan for an episode where I mostly rant about the media's editorials in response to yesterday's Nintendo Direct. Click through for the listening and download links!
