About every five years or so, usually when I'm cleaning up, I find my copy of this cursed game. Its single solitary upside is that, back in the day, I got paid to review it.

I should have held out for more money on reflection. The PTSD is real.

Naruto Path of the Ninja with Merrilee O’neil (Fear Coded)

By the mid-2000s, Naruto had pulled off something most manga-to-anime properties never manage: it wasn’t just popular, it was everywhere, spinning off a small army of video games across nearly every system with a screen, like Naruto himself used Shadow Clone Jutsu on the entire games industry and nobody thought to stop him. Somewhere in that flood of Ninja Councils and Clash of Ninjas sits Naruto: Path of the Ninja, the entry that decided the best way to honor Kishimoto’s story wasn’t just punching (though there’s plenty of that too) but actually letting you live through the Land of Waves and the Chūnin Exams one turn-based battle at a time.

Path of the Ninja debuted on the Game Boy Advance in Japan back in 2004, then took a leisurely three years to reach American shelves in 2007, arriving on the Nintendo DS instead, because by the time they got around to localizing it, the GBA already felt like last decade’s news. You pick from six familiar faces, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Shikamaru, Neji, and Rock Lee, pair them into formations for bonus combo attacks, and work through more than 90 jutsu, some of which you cast on the DS touchscreen by frantically scribbling a shape with the stylus, which is either a clever nod to hand seals or just a fun way to give yourself a cramp. The story runs all the way to the Chunin Exam invasion and a face-off with Shukaku, and if you’re wondering whether you can also fight Itachi as a secret bonus boss, the answer is: only if you own the Japanese version. The English release quietly deleted that fight but somehow forgot to scrub his name from the end credits, which is the video game equivalent of hiding a body and leaving the shovel leaning against the wall.

Making another through the Play Comics dojo is Merrilee O’Neil of Fear Coded, last seen on the show trying to keep pace with the Flash. This time she’s trading super speed for shadow clones, hand seals, and a Konoha headband, so at least the running is a little more sustainable.

So form your hand seals, grab your kunai pouch, and let’s find out if Path of the Ninja earned its headband as a worthy trip through early Naruto, or if it should’ve stayed back at the Academy with the rest of the genin.

Learn such things as:

• Isn’t the world today better, with games coming out worldwide at basically the same time?
• How can you use a console’s gimmick to really lean into the gameplay?
• Can a game stick to the established story a bit too well?
• And so much more!

You can find Merrilee being the main driver of the Fear Coded account on BlueSky @fearcodedpod.bsky.social on her podcast Fear Coded.

Older consoles just where built differently. Booted up my 3ds again (after well over a year of laying around): still full battery charge.

My switch after like 5 minutes of being "off": deep-discharged and wont even show me any sign of life until I charge it for hours.

A DS dev cart said to hold the self-deleting PokePark Fishing Contest DS sold for about 9,505.00 (~$9,100) on eBay. The game was download-only, made to delete itself after 12 hours or power-off, and no ROM is known to exist. https://pocg.net/news/pokepark-fishing-contest-ds-ebay-2026/ #RetroGaming #NintendoDS #LostMedia #Preservation

Spider-Man 3 with Harry Steele (Games On Film)

Let’s talk about Spider-Man 3, the movie where Sam Raimi looked at “menacing single antagonist” and said no thank you, I would like three, please, and also I would like Peter Parker to dance down the street like he’s auditioning for a jazz-hands cult. It’s a movie that tried to do everything, mostly succeeded at doing too much, and somehow still made enough money that Activision looked at it and thought: yes, this deserves not one video game, but two, spread across seven different consoles, so that literally nobody in 2007 could escape it. Ambitious! Chaotic! Extremely on brand for the source material!

See, there’s the fancy version, built by Treyarch for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, where you get a whole open Manhattan to swing around in and the black suit shows up only when the story deems you emotionally ready for it, very mature, very earned. And then there’s the completely different budget cousin, built by Vicarious Visions for PS2, Wii, PSP, GBA, and DS, where you can slap the black suit on whenever you feel like being a jerk, the Wii Remote gets to pretend it’s a web-shooter, and the DS throws the D-pad in the trash entirely so you can beat up Sandman by poking a touchscreen like it owes you money. Same cover art. Same villains. Practically strangers.

Swinging in to help me sort out how many wildly different versions of one questionable movie a single franchise can generate is Harry Steele, co-host of Games on Film, the podcast where he and his brother Rory spend their days grading movies based on video games! Which means Harry has built an entire professional skillset around asking “did Hollywood mess this up,” and today, for one glorious episode, we get to point that same energy directly back at a video game and ask if it managed to mess up the movie right back. Poetic justice! Content symmetry! Whatever you want to call it, it’s happening!

So grab whichever suit you’re feeling today, pick a console, any console, apparently they all made their own decisions, and let’s find out if the Spider-Man 3 games handled three villains and seven platforms with any more finesse than the movie handled three villains and one dance number.

Learn such things as:

• How similar do games have to be in order to have the same title?
• Do movie tie in games really need to care about what happened in the movie?
• Isn’t Spidey supposed to have friends?
• And so much more!

You can find Harry on BlueSky @onlymanwhocan and of course his podcast Games on Film.

So what I wanted to post earlier was that the updated version of Official Nintendo Magazine 63 - Christmas 2010 (UK) is now online and includes the Super Mario Sticker Album supplement which I found yesterday.

Sadly, not all stickers are present, but it's a nice relic anyway.

I also replaced the cover with a brand new one. This supplement came with an issue in perfect condition, so the big crease on the left side of the cover is now completely gone.

You can download this new issue 63 here:

Preview for Animal Crossing Wild World on Nintendo DS.
Taken from Nintendo Official Magazine 162 - February 2006 (UK)

I loved the GameCube game and actually imported a PAL copy from Australia as it looked like it would never release in Europe at the time.
But the DS game is the one which overtook my life for a long time.
Played this one for years. 😄
