UK gamers were given the opportunity to play the 3DS in Bristol over the past couple of days, and the hologram demonstration above was available for all to see. Short and sweet video, but very cool nonetheless!

Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure official announcement

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Activision to Unveil Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure(TM) – A Breakthrough New Play Experience That Merges the World of Toys and Video Games – At the 2011 American International Toy Fair
Innovative New Game Lets You ‘Bring Your Toys to Life’
Company Announces Global Marketing Partnership with Toys ‘R’ Us
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) announced today the worldwide debut of Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure, an entertainment breakthrough for the toy and video game industries. Through an innovative use of technology, the game allows players to transport real-world toys into virtual worlds of adventure through the “Portal of Power™.” These “toys with brains” can come to life inside the game in connection with multiple gaming platforms, as well as on handheld gaming devices, mobile devices and on the web, remembering achievements and level-ups wherever they go. This marks a wholesale change in the interaction between toys and video games, opening up new possibilities and revenue streams for both industries.
“These are more than action figures. They are inter-action figures,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. “By pairing world class character design, world class video game design and world class story telling into one entertainment experience, we’ve given players a whole new genre that bridges the gap between the real and virtual worlds. From the first time a kid picked up a stick and pretended it was a sword, toys have unlocked kids’ imaginations. And how often have you wanted to bring those toys to life, to see them become animated and take them on an adventure? Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure does just that.”

Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure announced, Spyro receives a makeover

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Activision has announced a new Spyro the Dragon title, which will feature a makeover of the classic video game character. Although, most fans will probably be displeased with the final design. Here’s what Spyro will look like in Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure:

Activision seems to have big ambitions for the game. The company is preparing over 30 action figures featuring characters from the title, which can be placed on a plastic “portal” or stand. Players will then be able to control the character on-screen.

Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure will be released this fall. Activision has yet to confirm which platforms the game is in development for, though it is likely to end up on at least one Nintendo system. Expect more news on the project shortly.

My life with Nintendo – Part 2

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments

Here I am again with yet another post. This time I’ll be talking about the Nintendo 64!

My discovery of the N64 was a strange one. If I’m remembering correctly, I was at my cousin’s house. He didn’t own many games for it at the time, but he did have Pokemon Stadium in his possession. Now, looking back, I realize how boring of a game this really was. I mean, it was essentially a stripped down version of the Game Boy games. But at the time, I was freaking out that it was on a TV screen and not my tiny handheld.
