There was a pretty fantastic cut-scene inthe preview buildthat had a weary and angry looking Volf commanding an army of werewolves to terrorize Venice....

A Japanese gamer that got the 3DS Slide Pad early cracked open the manual to find that it promises 480 hours of play time from one AAA battery. That’s a crazy number, but I’m guessing that this single control doesn’t need much juice. Hell, I’m surprised that it can’t just draw power from the 3DS. It’s a good thing that the battery lasts that long. A photo onAndriasangshows that the battery compartment for the Slide Pad is sealed with a screw....

If there’s one thing I know squat about, it’s theNarutouniverse. It’s not because I don’t like anime — I love it, but the boy in the orange track suit and all his ninja buddies never really appealed to me. Maybe it’s because I grew up in aDragonball Zera and felt likeNarutowas trying to be the equivalent for a new generation, or perhaps my taste in Japanese animation had evolved away from the epic fighting formula that filled my teen years....
