If you're one who collects videogame paraphernalia, then you might want to check out Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii) for the DS - as Sega is giving away a limited-edition collector's pin with every pre-order. Check out the whole scoop in the full article.

Square Enix has announced that the upcoming Nintendo DS title Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker has gone gold. This title is the latest installment in the Dragon Quest Monsters series and is the first to feature online play.

The company has also dropped a reminder about their special pre-order promo. Those who pre-order a copy of Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker from participating outlets will get a free Green Bays Screen Wipe.

The freebie item acts as both a screen wiper and navigational map, so you guys might want to check it out. Participating outlets are Amazon.com, EBGames/GameStop, EBGames Canada and GameCrazy.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker was released in Japan late last year and is currently on schedule to meet its November 6 North American release date.

 

Although cropped images always serve as poor evidence in support of a rumor, the topic of the mentioned rumor is compelling enough to warrant notice. The images below supposedly show that Capcom's Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations is set to arrive September 25 later this year. Observe:

The images first appeared over at the Court Records Forums (a Phoenix Wright fan-forums), in a post by Scorch. Supposedly he works at a GameCrazy store, and their computers get automatically updated with publisher release info and such. While this is far from official, a lot of fans are already taking this as a good sign.

Reason to be hopeful? Yes. Yes it is.

Here's a surprise. Someone managed to sneak out what appears to be a training video for game store franchise "Game Crazy."

It's meant to be words like "hip," and "cool," maybe even "1337" if that language were commonly used, but it's doing quite the opposite. We should only be so lucky to not have to go through that kind of training. Maybe we'll be a lot nicer when we see what store employees in general have to go through with videos like these.

Thanks to eshock and youtube for letting us see this, and our deepest condolences for those who have to go through something like that.
