Warner Bros. recently held a media event for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. New previews outlining the title’s gameplay went live today, and we have a bunch of details rounded up below.

The information is as follows:

– One sequence in the game: a gigantic, marauding Sand Man made up of thousands of swirling Lego blocks, each coming together to form skyscraper-sized arms and hands used to cinematically pummel Spider-Man and friends.
– Over 100 unlockable characters
– The Hulk is one of the game’s “BIG-fig” characters
– TT wants the BIG-fig characters to feel different and be fun to play
– Hulk can pick up cars twice his size, smash through petrol tankers and walls, and pull chunks of Lego out of the ground for lobbing
– Hulk eventually runs into Abomination
– Game will offer a “whole raft” of similarly built powerhouses from the various Marvel families
– Giant open-world NYC
– Character switching gameplay and unique abilities for the cast
– Can switch at any time to Iron Man while Hulk is inside the Grand Central Station
– When you play as Iron Man, gameplay is almost like a third-person shooter
– On-screen reticule appears that lets Iron Man shoot enemies with a barrage of missiles
– Can also use Iron Man’s hover boots to skim across the sandy floor
– Hulk can transform into his Bruce Banner form
– Doing so lets you take advantage of his scientific skill to make advanced machinery and generally pick up things the lime goon’s mitts can’t grasp without crushing
– A wall of sand will block the pair’s path, but Hulk shrinks down to Banner form to build and fire a water cannon at the obstacle, solidifying it enough for his larger form to smash through
– Another sequence set on the rooftops of the city features Spider-Man
– Spider-Man can scale some walls, make ropes to out-of-reach areas, and pull away scenery
– Players will see clouds of blue particles in the environment showing where the spider sense can be used
– This highlights significant aspects of the scenery which can be interacted with in order to advance
– All three characters used to reach and defeat the Sand Man
– Iron Man shoots up a generator, Spider-Man creates a web rope for Banner, who can then construct and fire a water cannon at the boss, who’s finally left venerable for a bit of Hulk Smashing
– Fully voiced characters
– Drop-in and drop-out co-op

Nothing too major this time around, but it’s great to see that Nintendo is still changing and improving upon Miiverse.

NIS America is a US-centric company, but it has brought over games to Europe before. It will be doing so once again with Etrian Odyssey IV. NIS America announced the title for release in the continent earlier tonight.

Good news: the European launch isn’t far off at all. Etrian Odyssey IV should be out sometime this summer.

Ever since Bravely Default: Flying Fairy was announced for Japan, RPG gamers overseas have been praying for a localization announcement. Thus far, Square Enix hasn’t followed through. But Siliconera’s “trusted sources” say that the 3DS title will, in fact, make it to the west.

No word on when an announcement could be made or when the title would release in North America and Europe. Let’s hope this rumor isn’t inaccurate!
