On today's program;
Two rivals team up, a writer is back and a lawyer gets on the silver screen!
First up Sega and Nintendo got a new ad for their upcoming crossover title Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Actually there's two slightly different versions of it currently running, one for Sonic and another one for Mario.





It's due out on the Wii soon, on November 18 for most countries, 15 for the US and December 8 for Asia. And the 3DS will get its version next February only.


Meanwhile, some new Alan Wake material has long been rumored.
Finally, Remedy revealed it was named Alan Wake's Night Springs, and will be a sort of spinoff/DLC episode.
The first picture has been revealed Game Informer's website.

It doesn't show much, but a lot of things can be guessed from this simple pic.
You can see a Night Springs sign on the right. This means it will take place in an actual Night Springs location.
The game will use the same mechanics/physics as you can guess from the tone and lights here.
But Alan is wearing very different clothes and not handling a gun but a nail gun instead.

I can guess it will either take place in Alan Wake's mind, projecting himself into the fictional in-game Twilight Zone TV show spoof. Or it won't even be related to Alan Wake's story in the main game and be simply an Xbox Live Arcade original title reusing familiar faces to tell a Night Springs story.

An actual trailer will be soon released, around Spike TV's VGA Awards event.

Temporary DLC to help fans await until the actual sequel?


And finally, here's a trailer of the upcoming Phoenix Wright movie!



Woah!
It looks even better than what I imagined at first!
Congrats, Takashi Miike, you did it again!

Movie NEWS! First footage of Ace Attorney movie

Here's the first footage of the upcoming Ace Attorney live movie!



Wow! Pretty cool and visually faithful.
It looks to be pretty similar to past Takashi Miike adaptations in tone.

Movie NEWS! Here's your first pic of the live Phoenix Wright movie

First pic of the live action Ace Attorney movie.
And it's looking might badass if you ask me.

This Phoenix Wright movie is being directed by none other than Takashi Miike.
Hiroki Narimiya (Azumi) will star as Phoenix Wright.

Any OBJECTIONS?

Gamin' NEWS! Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney TGS 2011 Trailer

Here's a brand new trailer for "Layton Kyouju VS Gyakuten Saiban", that is Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney  the crossover game nobody expected, coming up for the 3DS starring Capcom's Phoenix Wright and Level-5's Professor Layton.
It is due for a release date somewhen in 2012 (only in Japan for now).
And it's looking mighty epic:



Though I'd personally wish they'd want 2D instead. Phoenix just doesn't look "right" in 3D, look at his perfectly bi-symmetric hair!

I'm guessing this will be a puzzle heavy adventure game with some text-based adventure crossing over mysteries/quests to resolve.
Both series do mix up pretty well esthetically I think.

Gamin' NEWS! Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3

So it happened again.
Capcom just announced a new edition of one of their fighting games. This time it's...

Deadpool's still on the cover!

Meet Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3!!
While SF4 was reedited as the Arcade Edition over a year later, for MVC3 (released this February) it hasn't been even 10 months and the update's already coming up!
First, let's have a look at the reveal trailer:




So, what do we have here?

 

"The epic rematch looms in the distance as Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 prepares to take the battle to all-new heights. With new iconic characters from the Marvel and Capcom universes, 48 characters on disc, a refined fighting system and new modes, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 continues the Capcom fighting game legacy when it releases this November for the low MSRP of $39.99."

A dozen or so new characters, including Strider and Firebrand from the Capcom side and Ghost Rider and Hawkeye from the Marvel universe.

 New modes! New balance!
And that's already a lot more than what SSF4AE got :P
And, even new costumes like these:

And you know what? The rest of the cast even got leaked! Enjoy:

Which will had Doctor Strange, Frank West (Dead Rising), Iron Fist, Nemesis (Resident Evil), Nova, Phoenix Wright, Rocket Raccoon and Vergil!

It's only missing Squirrel Girl and would have been super happy with this update!
Anyway, this is looking far more diverse and better than the actual MVC3, I might finally play it again! (seriously though, it might be the fighting game I've tuned in the less playtime...I even playtime a lot more hours of Fighter's History or Galaxy Fight than this one! talk about a deception..)

If the new characters are fun and the new balanced system more intuitive I might actually go back to Capcom. (the latest Mortal Kombat's been rocking my "fighting" time)

MVC3 - Objection!! vs. Squirrels

Fake, obviously, but we can only hope for it~

This fake-screen has been seen around the interwebs a heckuva lot lately :P
