Pokemon White/Black 2 Coming Soon

Posted Feb 27, 2012 at 2:05PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo DS Tags: Nintendo, pokemon black, pokemon black 2, pokemon white, pokemon white 2

Nintendo has an official launch window for fans of the series.

Pokémon White and Black were the closest thing to a refresh the Pokémon series has received in a long time. While Game Freak didn’t make too many changes to the “throw Pokéball, commence fighting” mechanics of the game, new graphics and streamlined maps made the games seem almost new and innovative.

If you enjoyed Pokémon Black and White, you probably caught wind of the news that a sequel to each is headed your way. And thanks to an official confirmation from Nintendo, we now have some idea of exactly when that will occur. As we noted in the announcement article, the Japan release is set for June. If you live in the U.S. or in Europe, you can expect to be battling away again this fall.

The two games are direct sequels to Black and White, and this announcement marks the first time in the history of the primary series that a title has been given a number in lieu of new colors. Black/White 2 are being released on the Nintendo DS, which indicates that a 3DS-specific Pokémon title is still a ways away. Still, 3DS and DSi owners will have access to special functions (unrevealed, at the moment).

Beyond that basic info, we don’t have many details on Pokémon White/Black 2. We’ll keep you updated as information slips out.

Are you ready to catch ‘em all, again?

Resident Evil Revelations Price Lower than Expected

Posted Jan 30, 2012 at 3:27PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: Capcom, nintendo 3ds, resident evil revelations

Capcom revises its initial price point for the upcoming Nintendo 3DS title.

Resident Evil Revelations is due out for the Nintendo 3DS in just a couple of weeks, and up until now we were fully expecting to pay $49.99 for the game. This price, a bit higher than normal for 3DS titles, was apparently the result of the game being installed on a 4GB card instead of the usual 2GB.

While Capcom noted that it was confident the game’s quality was well worth the extra cash, they didn’t seem happy about the higher price point. And, according to a statement on their official site, they’ve been looking for weeks to find ways to eliminate the discrepancy. It looks like they figured it out.

As of now, Resident Evil Revelations is priced at the normal rate of $39.99. It’s worth noting that the price change only applies to United States version of the game – if you live somewhere else, you’ll need to stay tuned to Capcom for further updates.

What do you think of the pricing change? Is Capcom really fighting for the wallets of consumers, or just afraid the extra $10 will scare off potential buyers?

Rayman Origins coming to PC DRM Free

Posted Jan 28, 2012 at 7:47AM EST by Harrison E Listed in: Xbox 360, PC Gaming Tags: Digital Rights Management, DRM, drm-free, rayman, rayman origins, Ubisoft

Rayman Origins coming to PC DRM Free

Ubisoft have learnt from their past mistakes and making one of the best platformers and coolest games ever made DRM-free later this year.

Rayman Origins surprised everyone late last year with it's release seemingly from nowhere, it turned out to be one of the most colourful beautiful and friendly games I have ever seen, played or spent money on and if you have a PS3 or 360, I suggest you do the same.

Ubisoft announced that the Platformer will be out on March 30th on PC and in better news, all retail copies of the game will be shipped with no DRM. Digital versions will be saddled with whomever they are distributed through (i.e. Steam). So yes the very same Ubisoft who once said that "always on DRM"and regularly blames piracy for their lack of PC games, are sending a game out in the real world to deal with the pirates and hackers and evil people of the internets.

I think it's a bold move from Ubisoft to show they can make a game, have it be successful and (hopefully) port it successfully to the PC and still make a bundle off it. I think the game would really suit being on the PC, as more and more of my favourite platformers are turning up on there. Also with controller support from classic USB controllers and for those new-gen people who still want to use their 360, go right ahead.

The PC specs were also released and are as follows:

Here are the announced system specs:

Minimum configuration

OS: Windows® XP SP3 / Windows Vista® SP2 / Windows® 7 SP1

Processor: Intel Pentium IV 3.00 Ghz or AMD Athlon64 3000+ @ 1.8 Ghz

Memory: 1 GB Windows XP / 1.5 GB Windows Vista – Windows 7

Graphics: 128 MB DirectX®9 / Radeon X600XT or GeForce 6800GT

DirectX®: DirectX 9.0c or higher

Sound: DirectX 9.0-compliant sound card

Recommended configuration

OS: Windows® XP SP3 / Windows Vista® SP2 / Windows® 7 SP1

Processor: Intel Core2Duo E4400 @ 2.00 Ghz or AMD Athlon64X2 3800+ @ 2.00Ghz

Memory: 2 GB Windows XP / Vista / Windows 7

Graphics: 256 MB DirectX®9 / Radeon HD 2600XT or GeForce 8600GT

DirectX®: DirectX 9.0c or higher

Sound: DirectX 9.0-compliant sound card

Rayman Origins was release for the 360, PS3 and Wii last year in November. In addition to the PC, the game is also headed to the Playstation Vita and Nintendo 3DS on February 14 and March 20 respectively. It looks like Ubisoft have all the bases covered and I do hope it pays off for them. More Rayman Origins, less of the Rabbids, I say!

Minecraft Pocket Edition Finally Getting an Update

Posted Jan 9, 2012 at 5:27PM EST by Listed in: iPad Tags: minecraft, minecraft pocket edition, mojang

Mobile Minecrafters, your time has finally come.

Minecraft: Pocket Edition has been a fairly big win for Mojang, but fans of the game have been relatively unhappy with the speed at which the game is progressing. Most downloaders are eagerly awaiting the addition of Survival Mode, one of the most popular ways in which to play the original PC title. Mojang has been quiet on the subject for a while, but released some official news over the weekend.

A new patch will be hitting Minecraft: Pocket Edition on February 8, 2012. This patch makes minor changes to the game and prepares the backend for the eventual addition of the Survival Mode people have been waiting for. It’s not exactly the best news in the world for clamoring fans, but it’s certainly better than nothing.

Additionally, the update will add some new creatures, new blocks and (finally) doors. You can check out the full update from Mojang here: The Plan for Minecraft

As for Survival Mode, it’s still scheduled for “sometime” in the future. This first update lays the groundwork, but full implementation of the game mode is still months away.

Do you have Minecraft: Pocket Edition? What do you think of it?

Mobile Minecrafters, your time has finally come. Sort of.

VVVVVV and Bionic Commando Now on eShop

Posted Dec 30, 2011 at 1:00PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: bionic commando, eshop, Steam, vvvvvv

Two excellent platformers hit the Nintendo 3DS, just in time for your New Year’s hangover.

The week between Christmas and New Year’s is a sort of gaming dead zone, with very few new titles hitting shelves and most gamers busy working on the titles they received over the holiday. But Nintendo is committed to keeping its weekly eShop release schedule, and actually dropped a pretty decent update here at the end of 2011.

Available now for your Nintendo 3DS are two excellent platformers: VVVVVV and Bionic Commando. The first game, released in 2010, is an incredibly challenging and fun platformer steeped in classic tradition, and the 3DS release marks the first time you can play it anywhere beyond your PC. The second game is actually a port of the original Game Boy version of Bionic Commando, in which you take the role of a super-soldier with a mechanical arm.

Bionic Commando will run you $3.99, while VVVVVV is priced at $7.99. Both are worth a look if you have a 3DS and are looking for an old-school game to play, but it’s worth noting that VVVVVV is only $1.24 on Steam – pick it up for PC if you aren’t worried about keeping it in your pocket.

Have you played VVVVVV? Did you find it impossibly difficult?

Nintendo Direct Event Scheduled for Tonight

Posted Dec 26, 2011 at 12:38PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: nintendo 3ds, nintendo direct, wii u

Curious about the future of the Wii and Nintendo 3DS? Tune in tonight for details.

Later this evening, Nintendo will be holding one of their “Nintendo Direct” conferences for investors and other fans of the brand. Tonight’s update will focus largely on the Nintendo 3DS, though there are rumors that some Wii U information may also be forthcoming. There will also be updates regarding the future of the Wii, which has seen a steady decline in titles since Nintendo announced the Wii U.

The event is set to take place on Tuesday morning in Japan, putting it at 10pm EST or 7pm PST here in the States. Like other Nintendo Direct events, tonight’s will be broadcast on the Nintendo Ustream page – in Japanese. So if you want to tune in, you may want to find a translator. That, or wait for a translated version to pop up a few hours later.

Nintendo likely has a lot to talk about, with 3DS sales suddenly skyrocketing and the brand looking better than ever despite continuing to post financial losses. Tonight’s presentation will probably be designed to instill confidence in the company and let fans and shareholders know that good stuff is coming.

Will you watch the Nintendo Direct event?

3DS Firmware Update Live

Posted Dec 7, 2011 at 3:02PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: 3d videos, 3ds firmware, nintendo 3ds fw, streetpass

Nintendo updates the 3D handheld with 3D video recording and a few other new features.

Nintendo has finally updated their 3DS handheld with all new firmware in an update pushed live across the globe early this morning. So what’s in store for gamers that download the update? For starters, 3D video recording. But the list of changes certainly doesn’t end there.

The 3DS’s new video-recording software allows you to take up to 10 minutes of footage – Nintendo has even included settings that allow you to make stop-motion or time-lapsed 3D films. You’ll also find a new quest for StreetPass, new panels for Puzzle Swap, and a special geographical map that unlocks as you run into new Miis around your neighborhood and the world.

They’ve even added achievements, though they’re calling them “Accomplishments.” Plus, the eShop now allows for continued downloads in sleep mode, and features support for the addition of demos. All in all, it’s a pretty meaty update for the 3DS. The 3D video thing is cool, but all of the other features are handy as well.

What do you think of the new 3DS firmware? Are you more likely to buy a 3DS now that you can record videos?

Xfinity and Verizon Services Miss Xbox Metro Launch

Posted Dec 5, 2011 at 2:10PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: HBO, metro, UFC, Verizon, xbox dashboard, xfinity

The new dashboard for the Xbox 360 launches this week, but it may be missing a few of its most anticipated features.

If you were excited about bringing your favorite television shows to your Xbox dashboard, you may be in for a bit of bad news this morning, as it looks like some of the bigger partners for Microsoft’ big re-launch aren’t quite ready to send their services to the console. Xfinity, Verizon, HBO and the UFC are all reporting that their services will unfortunately be unavailable at launch, with a planned “early 2012” release.

It’s definitely a bummer for anyone that was expecting to merge their two services together, but for the most part this delay probably doesn’t affect most Xbox users. It does cause one to wonder whether Microsoft is actually ready to push the update live, or if they’re just rushing it out so they can meet the goal they set for themselves.

Here’s a full list of what to expect on the dashboard, and when, courtesy of Joystiq:

Angry Birds Seasons Update Now Available

Posted Dec 1, 2011 at 5:15PM EST by Listed in: iPad Tags: android market, angry birds, rovio, seasons

If you love playing the same game in different settings, head to the Android Market/iTunes Store and buy Angry Birds, again.

Angry Birds has long had a lock on the mobile gaming market, though it was recently dethroned by Scribblenauts. Still, no game has sold quite as well as the bird-flinging puzzler, possibly due to its simple but incredibly addictive gameplay. Sure, we’ve seen games like Angry Birds before, but Rovio seems to have distilled the experience into a fine solution that’s easy to drink and tasty to boot.

The game is ubiquitous, penetrating all layers of pop culture to the point where even your non-gaming parents have probably heard of it.

Christmas is almost here, which means it’s time for our obligatory Angry Birds update. Angry Birds Seasons: Wreck the Halls is now available for download on the Android Market and iTunes Store, boasting 25 new levels, with each one being made available day-by-day until the 25th. The final level promises a showdown with Big Pig, which I can only assume is the primary bad guy in the franchise (I never finished the original).

If Angry Birds is your game of choice, you may as well download Seasons. If you’ve never played the game and want to give it a shot, it’s better to stick with the original and then move on to the more niched versions. It’s the same game all around, but the seasonal versions feel pretty cheap compared to the much more robust original.

What do you think of seasonal Angry Birds updates? Fun way to celebrate, or sneaky way to cash in?

More 3DS Games Coming to eShop

Posted Nov 24, 2011 at 3:21PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: 3ds games, mario kart 7, metroid ii

What, like you’re actually going to spend time with your family this week?

A couple of interesting updates are headed to the Nintendo eShop over the next few weeks. As of the 24th, you’ll be able to download Metroid II: Return of Samus directly to your Nintendo 3DS, Pushmo is scheduled for December and Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword is aimed at January.

The new releases are likely intended to cement the 3DS as a system worth owning, although Pushmo and Sakura Samurai are pretty obscure titles. That being said, Metroid II was one of the best games that ever showed up on the original GameBoy, and it’s certainly worth a look.

Nintendo is making an effort to bring more content to the Nintendo 3DS in the hopes of making it more desirable - the primary complaint with the device (besides the lack of a second analog stick) is that there simply aren’t enough good games currently available.

While most 3DS owners would probably prefer to see some new games released, ports of old classics will just have to do for now – Mario Kart 7 is the last big release of the year.

Is Metroid II enough to sell you a 3DS? I doubt it.

Rumor Mill: Green 3DS Planned for Luigi’s Mansion?

Posted Oct 26, 2011 at 1:15PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo DS Tags: monster hunter, nintendo 3ds

Nintendo has been on a roll with announcements for the 3DS and is likely hoping to recoup some of the big losses they’re expecting to post this quarter. Could yet another 3DS color variation be in the works?

A couple of weeks ago, we received confirmation from Nintendo that there were two new 3DS units heading to shelves in the next few months. Both Ice White and Misty Pink are slated for North American release, and fan reaction seems to have been mostly positive. But a leaked flyer from a Japanese games retailer hints at one more possible color variation that remains unannounced: Leaf Green.

The flyer, which included the now-confirmed 3DS Monster Hunter bundle, seems to indicate that the 2012 release of Luigi’s Mansion 2 will be marked with a brand new 3DS color, bringing the total color variations up to five – Cosmos Black, Aqua Blue, Misty Pink, Ice White and Leafy Green.

We know that there are plenty of colors in the works, as Nintendo showcased gold, purple and orange versions of the handheld back at E3 2010. While no official release dates have been provided and updates on new colors have been rare, it’s safe to assume that some of those colors will eventually make it to the States. Nintendo is expected to post large losses for this financial quarter and it wouldn’t be surprising if they chose to scale back their 3DS production until the numbers lined up a little better.

Luigi’s Mansion 2 hasn’t been given an official date of release, so we’re just going to have to wait and see what Nintendo chooses to do. This new 3DS is still in rumor-only status, and could turn out to be one game shop’s strategy for earning a little attention and driving some business to their shop.

Would you be interested in a green 3DS? Personally, I’m waiting for 3DS Lite, or whatever the next iteration is.

Pokemon Heading to 3DS?

Posted Oct 24, 2011 at 4:13PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo DS Tags: 3D, Nintendo, pokemon gray

The recent registration of the Pokémon Gray domain and persistent rumors indicate that your favorite collectable creatures may be preparing for their 3D debut.

This year saw the launch of Pokémon White and Pokémon Black for the Nintendo DS. Both games were about as successful as Pokémon games usually are, and received about the same response from critics and fans as usual. Nintendo is the one company in gaming that seems to understand the maxim of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” and Pokémon is the crown jewel of their empire. Before the latest round of Pokémon games were announced and long before they hit our handhelds, Nintendo purchased the Pokemonblackwhite.com domain through Melbourne IT Digital Brand Services.

Now it looks like fans of the Pokémon brand have something new to look forward to, as the very same company has recently put a lock on Pokemongray.com. It could be some savvy web user looking to extort a few thousand dollars out of Nintendo, but it’s more likely that Nintendo is once again using Melbourne IT DBS to set up a domain for its next big property.

The site is pretty bland and states only:

“This Internet address is being managed by Melbourne IT DBS for one of the world's top brands. At the present time there is no active Web Site for the address. It may be under construction, or the owner may have reserved the address for future needs. “

So before we get all excited and start arguing about our favorite Pokémon, it’s probably best to wait for an official announcement. One can’t help but think this might be the first Pokémon title to grace the Nintendo DS; it’s pretty much the only major Nintendo franchise that hasn’t made an appearance on the device. Of course, if history is any indicator, the game is more likely headed to the regular Nintendo DS, with remastered or brand new games hitting the 3DS a little while later. That’s what we saw with Pokémon Silver and Soul Silver, for example.

What do you think is going to happen? 3D Pokémon or DS Black/White mash-up? Do you think Pokémon’s simplistic gameplay will transfer well into 3D?

The recent registration of the Pokémon Gray domain and persistent rumors indicate that your favorite collectable creatures may be preparing for their 3D debut.

Nintendo 3DS Online Presentation this Friday

Posted Oct 19, 2011 at 3:00PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo DS Tags: Satoru Iwata

Nintendo plans a live, online presentation to talk to fans about the future of their 3D handheld system.

The Nintendo 3DS got off to a rocky start, with far less demand from players than the company expected. After a pretty big price drop (and a few good title releases), the console finally started to get a little traction from the industry – but not much. The 3DS still sits on the edge of failure, with the upcoming holiday season likely deciding the fate of the system.

Hoping to build buzz for the system and address player concerns, Nintendo has scheduled a live online presentation for Friday, October 21st. It will occur at 8pm Japan time – 12-14 hours ahead of North America, depending on your time zone (7am Eastern time).

Satoru Iwata, the president of Nintendo, is currently slated to host the event and viewers can expect to learn about the new 3DS firmware. Also on the table is the upcoming Mario Kart 7, though it’s unclear exactly what will or won’t be discussed. While you can certainly watch clips from the presentation later in the day (while you’re pretending to work), if you want to stream it live you’ll be able to pick it up on Ustream and Nico Nico Live.

The new 3DS firmware update is supposed to feature an updated version of the handheld’s Mii Plaza function in addition to giving gamers access to the 3DS’s 3D camera so they can make their own 3D videos. There will also be some minor tweaks and fixes to the system, but nothing major as the 3DS hasn’t really suffered from hacks and exploits. As always, think twice before upgrading your system if you use a flash card or homebrew software – you never know when it might get patched up.

It’s currently scheduled for November, but we may get an official date this Friday.

Are you still on the fence about the 3DS, or are you ready to take the 3D plunge?

New 3DS Colors Coming, Starting with Misty Pink

Posted Oct 6, 2011 at 3:14PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: 3ds colors, ice white, misty pink, nintendo 3ds

Nintendo continues its trend of multicolored handheld devices by announcing two new colors for the 3DS. Can this update bring new customers to the platform?

The Nintendo 3DS has experienced its fair share of issues since launch. Customers don’t seem to be in any hurry to purchase it, and the lack of demand has already caused Nintendo to drop the price substantially in the hopes of finding more players. Even hardcore Nintendo fans like myself have lamented the overall lack of titles and the sore eyes that accompany long-term 3D play.

Nintendo doesn’t seem to be dissuaded by these minor setbacks and instead has announced two new color additions to the 3DS line-up. Japanese consumers will be able to choose between “Misty Pink,” available on October 20th, and “Ice White,” available on November 3rd. This brings the total number of 3DS color variants to five: Ice White, Misty Pink, Aqua Blue, Cosmos Black and Red Flame.

As of right now, there is no confirmed release date for the color variants here in the States, but it’s safe to assume we’ll be seeing them soon enough.

While new color configurations are certainly one way to pull in new buyers, they don’t really solve any of the primary problems gamers currently experience with the 3DS. The drop in price is certainly agreeable to consumer wallets, but without a killer game, it’s unlikely that new color variants will bring too many more gamers into the 3DS fold.

The 3DS release schedule for the holiday season looks strong through, with “Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns,” “Super Mario 3D Land” and “Mario Kart 7” all set to hit shelves in the next couple of months.

Are you tempted to buy a 3DS when new colors arrive, or are you waiting until better games come along?

Chronoblade confirmed for the 3DS

Posted Aug 6, 2011 at 9:53PM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: chronoblade, corecell

Chronoblade has been confirmed to be coming to the Nintendo 3DS. This news was confirmed by game developer Corecell, who also happens to be one of Nintendo's former subcontractors.

There aren't much details to go around for this new game, but so far, what we do know is that it will be featuring a main character who must fight through bosses through multiple scrolling platfroms.

Another curious bit is that you will be able to literally turn back the hands of time with a little tap on the bottom of the screen. WIth this, your character can retrace back her steps and use previously obtained items to lead her into a new path.

Chronoblade is still very much in the thick of development, but it is posited that in about 10 more months, it should be good to go out in the market. Maybe we'll be hearing and seeing more about this at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show? We'll be sure to update you if in case we do hear anything.
