New Releases this week | Sept 16th – 22nd 2013
Finally! GTAV is mere hours away from releasing worldwide. Are you excited? Are you one of the lucky few who got it early? Needless to say, it's my most anticipated game since.. well since GTAIV I suppose. Still though, let's not forget all those other releases this week too. Hot Wheels, PES 2014 and Zelda HD are just some of the games brave enough to release this week.
Pokemon Direct Announcements Round-Up
Iwata-san, Masuda-san and Ishihara-san, the hosts of Nintendo’s second Pokemon Direct broadcast, took some time to shed some light on a couple of new features in Pokemon X and Y.
New Releases this week | Sept 2nd – Sept 8th 2013
Bit of an average week for releases. The featured game this week is none other than Diablo III. Will console gamers welcome it with open arms or will it be largely ignored? Only time will tell. Other releases this week includes Mickey Mouse making a comeback, a couple rhythm games, a farmer's dream game and a return to Helghan.
Nintendo Disable YouTube Comments/Ratings on 2DS Reveal
It's fair to say that the 2DS reveal has garnered mixed reactions. Some love the idea and are especially excited at the potential this has for their children, others see it as ugly and not cheap enough. Nowhere will this have got more out of hand than on YouTube, and that's only evidenced by the fact Nintendo have disabled comments and rating on the 2DS reveal trailer.
Nintendo Announce 2DS
This is the sort of headline I'd feel more comfortable writing if it was April 1st, but there you are. Nintendo have announced a brand new handheld: the 2DS. The 2DS is a 3DS without the 3D support and with a few physical changes (such as being in a single unit, as opposed to two hinged sides).
New Releases this week | Aug 26th – Sep 1st 2013
A great week for releases with something for everyone. The featured game for this week is none other than Final Fantasy XIV Online. Will the MMO impress or will we be choking the Chocobo this time next week in a fit of rage? Only time will tell.
New Releases this week | Aug 12th – Aug 18th 2013
Not a great week for releases but a week which brings much variety and contrast. two Disney games, two horror games, a couple HD remakes and of course Payday 2 are just some of what you will find coming out in the next 7 days.
New Link for A Link Between Worlds
The upcoming 3DS title A Link Between Worlds may be set in the same world as A Link to the Past, but it's not set in the same time period. In today's Nintendo Direct, Iwata revealed that a lot of time has past between A Link to the Past and A Link Between Worlds, and that the Link we've seen in the videos so far isn't the same link from the 1991 Legend of Zelda SNES classic.
Professor Layton Vs Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Coming 2014
Professor Layton Vs Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney was one of the games that convinced me a 3DS was worth buying. It was originally announced in 2010 and was released in Japan at the end of last year. It didn't look like it was ever going to see a Western Release. As a last minute surprise in today's Nintendo Direct, however, it was revealed that Professor Layton, Luke, Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey will be coming to western 3DS consoles early next year.
New Nintendo Direct Tomorrow
Nintendo have announced that they'll hold a new Nintendo Direct tomorrow. You'll be able to tune into the official Nintendo website for the latest Wii U and 3DS news at 7AM PDT, 3PM GMT. Don't get too excited though, they have already confirmed that this will be related to games releasing this year.
