#E3 NEWS! 2nd day recap part 3

And last for the day(?) some Marios and a Sega Adventure/Platformer title.Mario is back!
Twice!

There's a New Super Mario Bros. 2 coming up for the 3DS. And a New Super Mario Bros. U for the, well you guessed it, Wii U. (...now, I kinda wish they'd call it the Nintendo Wuu instead...)

This first high-definition Mario Bros. game is looking pretty nice!
Like the original Super Mario Bros. 2 or Mario Galaxy 2, this one will be a direct sequel of a previous Mario title.
It will feature up to 5-players in co-op.
Check out these lovely pics:

I recognize the usual themes and tropes of Mario levels.
Looking great!

And here's the debut trailer:



I'm glad to see the first big new Mario mainstream game being a sidescroller on this new system!

~

Remember Sega and Double Fine partnership?
Here's a new gameplay trailer for The Cave!



This all-new sidescroller adventure/platformer from the mind of Dave Grossmann is looking pretty nice^^

~

And that is all for this time, I guess~
Oh wel. Back to work...

#E3 NEWS! 2nd day recap part 2

Time to check some more M-Rated titles and other violent stuff~
(yeah, I'm trying to group these by themes the best I can... :P)

Have you checked out all these new Dead or Alive 5 videos?
This new episode in this classic fighting game series is shaping up quite nicely - no pun intended.

The newly reformed Team Ninja is working quite hard on keeping the quality up to the series standards while reimagining the series in both its art direction and gameplay. More relastic visually, new chara design, much more impressive graphics and a new game control optimised for both fans and newcomers.
Check out this kickass trailer featuring new faces...

So.. when will get a proper Virtua Fighter Vs. DOA? (personally, I've always been crossing fingers for a Virtua Fighter Vs. Tekken...wait a second... Virtua Fighter X Tekken X DOA anyone??)

I love the new art style, much better!
The gals look great, the dudes kickass!
I'm glad the girls have finally each different facial aspects/structure instead of the copy/paste doll faces from past games.

Here's some more in-game gameplay:

Besides the clown part, I liked to notice how Kasumi finally looks "Asian" now instead of just her former generic anime-self.

Fans of the modern Castlevania, rejoins and check out this badass looking sequel to the recent episode:



Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2  shown here above in a lil' teaser. But you get the point.
It does imply most of the gameplay. (wave of large group of enemies, etc.)
It seems it will follow the DLC ending which followed itself the game's ending...

And to stay on the subject, here's the trailer for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate:



This spinoff (interquel) will follow the classic "metroidvania" formula of past games.

Though all this business seems to be confusing to follow for the fans. Now the Dracula and Belmont families are officially related and Trevor is Simon's father!

~

Aliens Colonial Marines might be coming later than originally expected or planned...and then delayed...again..and again...and again...
Anyway, things seem to be back on track with now a release date for next February 12 in 2013.

Check out these new pics!

The game will coming up for HD systems as well as upcoming next gen console Wii U!
And, I don't mean to sound strange, but that seems to be the most original version. Having the movement sensor on the controller-screen pad is a genius idea!

The game's looking great!

And they even got copies of what the collector edition will offer at E3:

~

And finally to kick ass this post with style, with - easily for me - the random surprise of this year's E3 of the day.
Star Trek the videogame, apparently.

This would be co-op prequel to the J.J.Abrams Star Trek reboot movie is an upcoming game that will tie up with the new movie coming up in theaters soon.

It does look like a sort of Mass Effect/Uncharted hybrid kind of game, with co-op.
And it's very random.
Oh so random.

So random it will actually feature "The Gorn Hegemony" as enemies. Yes, them!


Chris Pines and Zachary Quinto will reprise their roles from the 2009 film - as Captain James T Kirk and Mr. Spock respectively.

Check this out:



...huh...awesome?

#Gaming NEWS! Amazing Spider-Man trailer

And here's a trailer for the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man game based on the movie of the same name:

Get More: GameTrailers.com, The Amazing Spider-Man - Exclusive Web Rush Trailer, PC Games, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360

This looks like....another one of those bargain bins-games :P

Sure it might look nice, but in the end, it will no doubt be quite dull and repetitive.

Gamin' NEWS! Amazing Spider-man random tidbit

I'm not following much the news regarding the Amazing Spider-man video game adaptation..
Because it just looks like your generic movie tie-in.

But this random news tidbit looked interesting enough to be worth mentioning here.

If you pre-order the game in the US, it looks like you may unlock some random alternate characters/DLC to play with.
Not your usual alternate Spidey costumes, but....

The Rhino looks like a huge naked g...HOLY SHIT!?!?IS THAT STAN LEE??? HOW AWESOME IS THAT?! XD

Anyhow, that's that :P

#SEGA NEWS! Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed announced!

Sega finally officially announced the Sega All-Stars Racing sequel.
Only it's dropping the Sega in the title and will now be titled Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed!
Let's check it out~

First of all, like the more recent Mario Karts (the one on the Gamecube) or some Donkey Kong racing games, it's adding some gimmicks to the gameplay.

I'm not sure how I actually feel about it. I mean, the classic kart formula was perfect to me. They didn't need to add stuff like that... Oh well.
Like the "transformed" part implies, the vehicles will be able to transform depending on the circuit's environment. That is, the "cars" will now transform into planes or boats according to where the road will lead you.

Well executed, it might work enough. But one or two gameplay problems and it might give the game sluggish controls...

The game is supposedly coming out this year on almost all platforms, PS3, 360, PC, Vita, 3DS,etc...
Sumo Digital is still on this one.
This new title will offer 16 brand new races, from Sonic levels to Panzer Dragoon and even Shibuya (Jet Set Radio!).
New characters will count at least  Vyse from Skies of Arcadia and Gilius Thunderhead from Golden Axe!
The game will also feature a Story mode of some sorts.

Here's some pics:

And a trailer already!



No Wii? Probably for Wii-U then, a launch title no doubt.

I'm a big Sega fan at heart, so I'm a lot more interested in this new Sega crossover than, say, a Sony or Nintendo one.

Honestly? Not feeling much the new transformable vehicles. At best it might be passable, at worst it will be just plain annoying and gimmicky. Making this new game more easier forgettable than the previous one...

Well, let's hope they'll use some ideas from that Art Jam I organized some years ago! :P

#Gaming News! shooters, beat 'em all, whatnot!

Here's a little bunch of diverse gaming-related news from today and this past weekend :P
First up, Crysis 3 in video!
The debut trailer for this big expected sequel - which honestly I still need to catch up from the beginning! But I will, mark my words, I will!

Get More: GameTrailers.com, Crysis 3 - Debut Teaser, PC Games, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360

Lookiing great. A return to form to Crysis 1's universe over the bland futuristic city of C2.
Another trailer's expected for tomorrow.

And I'm guess this will be out on HD systems (360+PS3) as well as PC.
Good news is that the original team's still on the series, Crytek Frankfurt - not EA! And this one's for 2013.

Lollipop Chainsaw gets a new trailer! Check it out, it's about "Sisters" 'n' stuff:

Additional characters? Sign me in!
I'm getting more and more hyped for this one, a title I wasn't honestly that much interested in to begin with! (even though I love Suda and No More Heroes...)

Out on June 12 as the trailer indicates.

~

Warner seems to hint at some upcoming new DLC for Batman: Arkham City.

As it was announced, it looked like we would be getting some all-new Robin story chapters...but from the looks of it, either Harley Queen's gonna be playable instead or she's the villain in this new content...?

~

Nintendo announced a new Mario again!

It seems that a New Super Mario Bros. 2 will coming to 3DS this August!

Personally, I think I'll wait for the eventual re-release on Wii (Wii-U?), like the previous NSMB..which reminds me, another one I wanted to get...

Here's some pics!

~

And finally, on the macho/testosterone-side of video games, here's a new pic of the upcoming Halo 4 - which has already a release date as early as this November 6(!!!).

You can see these and much more at this following link!

I got to say, generic science fiction or same ol' FPS again, I have to admit these pictures do look nice. I'm glad to see a modern next gen FPS with this wide range of warm colors, not just the usual dull grey-sh tones.

It's gonna be the first one not developed by series creator Bungie, but by the all-new 343 Industries studio.
Let's see if they can make a more interesting and exciting story and not just a yearly re-release of their famous multiplayer shooter.

~

And that's all for the day!
Ta~ta!-

#Ad - Joel McHale Goes Viral for Nintendo

Here's a pretty fun random Nintendo commercial my bro just showed me :P

It features Communiy's Joel McHale doing what he does best, just to sell some 3DS:

DC News! Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes trailer

Speaking of DC, here's the newly released first look at the upcoming Traveller's Tales videogame Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes.

Which looks like it will be a Justice League themed sequel to the previous Lego Batman game...



It will be released on almost every single system - PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Vita, Wii, DS, 3DS  - this summer.

this looks like it might be a pretty fun title!
Why didn't they simply make a Lego JLA, though?

Gamin' NEWS! Lego Batman 2 DC Super Heroes in development

People loved those Lego games by Traveler's Tales?
Well, there's more!

After all the Lego Star Wars, Lego Harry Potter, Lego Indiana Jones and Lego Batman comes... Lego Batman 2 DC Super Heroes!

Just in time for fhe new Batman movie next year!

Well, I guess technically they could have called this one Lego Justice League...
It will in fact be based around the new batch of Lego Toys DC Comics-inspired.
(So, why not call 'em Lego DC Super Heroes??)

Anyway, what d'you think of that? Waiting to play as Lego Green Lantern, Lego Wonder Woman & co?

Gamin' NEWS! Sonic and Mario at the lympics,

Here's a bunch of video game news fo' the day.
First of all, did you see it in store already? :P
Here's the launch trailer for Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games on the Wii system.


MARIO & SONIC AUX JEUX OLYMPIQUES DE LONDRES... par SEGA

It's looking nice, like an improvement over the last ones (the 1st one looked so rushed...) but I'm kinda getting tired and bored of these minigames compilations..
Might pick this up at bargain's price.


Continuing with Sega, here's the announcement/trailer for Puyo Puyo !! 20th Anniversary.



This title promise to be very special, for fans and newcomers alike.
Like the best the series have seen so far in one Wii/PSP/3DS. Available on December 15.


Finally "Master the Max Cancel" trailer, a video for the upcoming return of the king of the genre, namely King of Fighters XIII!

I'm glad to see the KOF mechanics back in due form.
Cancels are back! and properly!
