Paying homage to risqué DS game Duel Love, erotic game maker Clock Up raises the anty with Nuntendo bS “game” Disgrace Academy Principal/Slave Club ~Mind Reading Training Transcript~. The girl mind reading/slave quarters training adventure “game” has players rub and blow in a game system that’s reminiscent of Duel Love’s. But in a way more explicit and shameful way. Hit the jump for the game’s “screenshots.” Be warned, they’re TOTALLY NOT SAFE FOR WORK. Beware!
Disgrace Academy Principal/Slave Club is slated for the release October 26, 200008.

Simple premise here. You run down a hallway lifting the skirts of Japanese schoolgirls. Your lifting prowess is assessed according to both your speed and accuracy. Be careful not to touch the grown-up women, though, because touching the women gets you in trouble. Amazing stuff.
The Championship Gaming Series have announced that they’re to establish a “training facility and a dedicated game playing arena” in the Chinese city of Wuhan. Aiming to make the most of a city that has over 1.5 million students - many of whom will be gamers - the main purpose of the facility will be to bring in kids off the street, test them to see if they’ve got the raw skills needed for champ gaming, and if so, train them.

It’s not like Nintendo is completely abandoning American gamers—it sold 432,000 Wiis in February—it may just be allocating stock to its first class customer base.
Microsoft send word that tomorrow, April 1, will see Xbox Live down for maintenance between the hours of 0200-0500 Pacific Time. Anyone hoping for some kind of April Fool’s Day surprise like an XBL update from Microsoft should do less hoping and more facing reality, as the downtime’s for server maintenance, which means “there are no new features…that will appear on your Xbox 360 console or Xbox.com when the service comes back online”.
Not sure whether or not you should pick up THQ’s Battle of the Bands (formerly Band Mashups) for the Wii when it comes out late April? I sure was, but that was before I saw the Feel Good, Inc. by the Gorillaz in Spanish. I might actually like it better than the English language version.

It may be March 31 on the Kotaku Tower desk calendar, but it’s April 1 somewhere in the realms of The Lord of the Rings Online. Turbine has decided to make with the massively-multiplayer hilarity, announcing that a new playable race, the Fowl-People, would join the currently playable Humans, Elves, Dwarves and Hobbits, bringing new epic quests and new housing options (coops, henhouses, etc.).
