RabbidsTV - Samurai Rabbid

Speaking of Rayman, I've been watching some shorts featuring the Rabbids from the Rayman Raving Rabbids games.

Ubisoft sure loves 'em (and I know, we all know, don't need to mention it, they've been stealing Rayman's storm these past couple of years..but now both franchises live perfectly fine and on their own separate side).
They've been making fun CGi videos with 'em since day one.

Here's a pretty funny one from the TGS 2009:

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! "people fighting, someone's wrath and a domain in binary code...."


And here's some more trailers from the TGS 2011.
On today's menu: people fighting, someone's wrath and a domain in binary code....

First let's check out the upcoming new "Project Soul" entry, Soul Calibur V!
It's one of those games, I'm not actually really awaiting for it. But I guess I'll end up trying it at some point later on, nonetheless.



 Newly announced additions: returning Astaroth and newcomer Viola.

Re-skinned characters, be it the newbies or the old faces.
Such a "glowy" game. It's kinda like that modern Star Trek movie...

Kinda tired of this series. Nothing much change, not even graphically.
The shuffle of the cast is "ok".
The games looks decent though.


Now, for something else, here's the latest trailer for the highly anticipated new Capcom (original IP) game Asura's Wrath!



"See Ma, I don't need no arms!!"
XD

This looks like such a fun badass game afterall!


And finally, another upcoming Sega game.
Binary Domain shows us yet another new trailer:



This over the top action game is look great so far!
This Vanquish-inspired title from Yakuza games developers will be released with a mic/headphones set in Japan only, for a 10.000 limited exemplars edition. For the co-op multiplayer mode, on both PS3 and Xbox 360. The game will also be able use Kinect alongside a controller (finally a game that does that!).

And here's some more videos released through its official website:



and



Looking neat! :)

Gamin' NEWS! Good: Segas, Bad: DOAs, Ugly: Payne...


And here's some new news regarding upcoming games, straight from this year's TGS!
Also, other miscellaneous information.
First up, Sega shows some more of its upcoming titles.

Like Sonic Generations.
I already posted lots of stuff regarding this return in form to the Sonic series. But so few info about the handheld 3DS port. Let's check it out!



And it looks fantastic!
A good alternative to the main systems HD version for sure!
And it will even have some bonus content like Sonic 3's Mushroom Hill Zone!
Nice^^


And here's a look at Madworld's pseudo-sequel, Anarchy Reigns!
The solo/storymode to be precise, which will actually really act as a sequel to Madworld:



Cool stuff.
The game will be out in January, next year. And it's nice to see again all these faces back from Madworld, Jack, the Baron, etc...
Though I miss Madworld's creative art style. (in black and white, no colors thank you~)


Meanwhile at the TGS, Tecmo revealed the upcoming new entry in their long-running classic fighting game series, Dead or Alive 5!


This game will mark the first DOA entry without series creator Tomonobu Itagaki on board.
(well, second if you count that PSP port of one of the "minigames party" DOA...hum..)
Good... bad... Only time will tell.
Also,  with fighting games being all popular these last couple of years + finally a multi-console DOA, I'm guessing this game will be the starting point for many newcomers to the series.

Here's the trailer...




Looks cool..as far as early in-game gameplay footage go.
Dynamic cameras, really? Or was it just for show in this video?


Graphically it doesn't look that far from DoA 4... Wait and see!
And here's a teaser poster, worry not the gals will be back too:


The title is planned for a 2012 release on 360 and PS3.


And in case you forgot about Tecmo/Team Ninja's other successful franchise, the Ninja Gaiden series will also be brought back Itagaki-less in the aptly named Ninja Gaiden 3.



And this time no "Sigma" since this game will be simultaneously released on Xbox 360 AND PS3!


Finally, let's have a look at Rockstar ruining another game series I like.
I know, I know...there's lots of R* fans out there...
I already went large in details why I didn't like what they do to games nowadays, specially regarding a little game I liked in the past.
I know lots of kids think they're game are all cool and mature (hint: violence+bllod =/= mature, that's what kids think, not what the reality is for adults). But I'm so tired of their GTA-ization of non-GTA games...

ANYWAYS!
Here's Max Payne 3. A game that looks and feels nothing like both previous Max Panye games co-developed by 3DRealms and Remedy. Which was a noir-esque action movie-like experience.
Turned into a mindless cover-shooter based GTA-like generic mainstream title:



You know what? I could have easily accepted this new game if it was something new and original. And different IP.
Like this it just looks like they're trying to sell their random new product under a familiar and liked name....
Kinda how it would be if their last game, L.A.Noir, had been called, say, "Streets of Rage 4" for example.

Gamin' NEWS! Mario Kart 7

And here's one more trailer of an upcoming Nintendo game.
It's Mario Kart 7, which will be released later this year as well, on Dec. 4 on the 3DS as well.
(they're finally releasing games for that system?.. why didn't they release the system now instead?!)



And it looks like...much of the same.
Which is great for fans, I guess :P
Meh, my favorite Mario Kart was the SNES one. I played the DS one too for, like, 1 week, then completely forgot about it...
Don't mistake me, it is a good looking and fun game. But simply not for me..

Gamin' NEWS! Some Nintendo titles + Bananas!

From this year's 2011 Tokyo Game Show!

It's time for yet another video game update blog post!
This time featuring Nintendo trailers and some familiar Monkey returning yet once again.
First up, let's check out Nintendo's all new trailer for their upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword!


Nintendo doesn't do much CGi trailers usually, so it's always nice to give a look at such video for one of their titles.
I missed a couple Zelda games, so I'll be playing this around 2015 probably (ha! retro gamers don't fear delays in their "planning"!)

And here's a gameplay trailer showcasing some new mechanics and features:


Looks fun!
It will be released the 20 November on the Wii.


And now, here's a look at Nintendo's mascot upcoming title. This one's on the 3DS instead, for November too, Super Mario 3D Land:



This video's from the press conference.
All in all, Super Mario 3D Land looks like a pretty neat entry. I'm more itnerested in playing this than any of the Mario Sunshine/Galaxy/2 that I missed.
I dunno, but the mix of 2D sidescrolling + simpler 3D platformer has really a nice touch to it. Sure, both Mario Galaxy games might be good games but I'd rather go for something simpler without the planetoids gimmick. (yeah, call me old school if you want!)


Meanwhile, Kirby returns in the appropriately named Kirby's Return to Dream Land on the Wii later this year.
This new game will be a return to basics after a more original entry earlier this year.



Awesome!
I haven't played any Kirby game since the (two) original game(s) on the classic Game Boy waaaay back.
Might give it a try!
(plus, I can't get enough of all these recent sidescrollers lately!)


Luigi will be back in his own spinoff, in this sequel to the Gamecube launch title. This time on 3DS as well.
(note to self: might need to end up buying a 3DS at some point...)



Luigi's Mansion 2's looking great so far! :D


And finally, looking at the other side of the fence.
Sega will bring the series Super Monkey Ball back to the scene, with an all-new entry this time for Sony's new handheld system, the PS Vita:



Great recommended hybrid platformer/puzzle series! If you got a system on which there's a Monkey Ball, I can't recommend trying one of these games. The puzzles are often quite interesting and always make you scratch your brain on later levels.


And that is all for this time~
