Sony will be announcing its successor to the PlayStation 3 in just a matter of days. A proper reveal will be taking place this Wednesday.

In order to spread the word, Sony has been publishing various ads across the net – from pre-roll videos on YouTube to traditional block ads on websites.

There have already been a couple of ads spotted that seemingly come off as a bit of an insult to Microsoft and/or Nintendo. Now yet another traditional ad has been discovered that clearly takes a shot at the Big N and the company’s Mario IP. Take a look below:

We can’t verify the ad’s validity since we haven’t come across it ourselves as of yet, but based on a few of previous ones, it looks to be the real deal.

Amid some of the recent negative news surrounding the Wii U, it’s encouraging to see a developer such as Criterion Games going all out with Need for Speed: Most Wanted. We’ve already seen a few lazy efforts when it comes to third-party ports on the console, but Criterion has gone out of its way to make Most Wanted play better and look better on Wii U.

And despite what a few may say about the Wii U’s power, Criterion’s Alex Ward told Kotaku that the system does contain a fair amount of memory. He also spoke about the importance of coming out in a big way in terms of features as this is the team’s first release on the console.

“There’s more memory in the hardware… The draw distance is a little better. It’s not as mip-mapped out. …Well this is our first game on the hardware. We wanted to go back to like we used to be. If you know we’re doing the game, you know we’ve looked at the hardware and said, ‘What’s the best damned thing we can do on that?’ We’re going to support everything we can. We support MiiVerse fully, online play.”

Ward went on to talk about Nintendo in a very positive light, appreciating the “excellent gameplay” the company provides:

“Everyone wants to talk about this and that on the hardware, and it’s not as interesting to me. What’s really important is what we’re doing with the player experience. The games I’m playing on Wii U—Nintendo Land and New Super Mario Bros. U—what Nintendo [does], they just deliver excellent gameplay. It’s probably one of the big problems in the industry at the moment. Everyone—you guys—like to talk about specs and this and that. We’ve got to get back to just playing the game. And that’s what this game is about. It’s about a simple, fun experience. It’s not about 10,000,000 polygons and who does this and who does that.”

Update: Clarified a few details and added in some Decode system information.

Digimon World Re:Digitize is coming to the 3DS. The latest issue of V-Jump reveals that Namco Bandai will be bringing the new game to Nintendo’s handheld sometime this year.

Decode is an enhanced port of the original PSP title. V-Jump says that the game will include two brand new storyline chapters, one of which involves Omegamon X-Antibody as well as new Digimon. Information regarding the added story elements will be included in V-Jump’s May issue.

This new version of the game will possess a new “Decode” system. By raising a Digimon’s level through training, it will become more powerful through improved stats.
