Not one, but two James Bond games are on the way.

System 3 has first announced James Pond: Codename Robocod – a remake of the original. It’s due out early next year on a whole bunch of platforms, including the Wii U and 3DS.

On consoles and handhelds, Codename Robocod will be a re-imagining of the original. You can expect overhauled visuals and audio “built from the ground up for each format”.

In other news, the promised Kickstarter for a brand new James Pond has launched. You can find it here. The team is looking to raise £100,000, and systems are included as stretch goals.

Scribblenauts Unmasked has been receiving a great deal of attention on Wii U, but it’s easy forget that the game is also in development for the 3DS. Both versions are similar, though there will be a few differences between the two.

On 3DS, Scribblenauts Unmasked supports a special StreetPass feature. Senior producer Caleb Arseneaux revealed to us that players will be able to unlock special costumes, which give Maxwell super powers.

According to Arseneaux:

“3DS has a unique StreetPass feature which allows you to unlock special costumes for Maxwell when you use StreetPass. I won’t give anything away, but these costumes give Maxwell super powers just like the characters in the game.”
