Like every year, a bunch of announcements are expected to be unleashed at this year’s E3. But the pre-E3 episode of GameTrailers TV will have “a ton of never-before-seen world exclusives” before the the trade show officially kicks off. Gamers interested in checking out the exclusives should tune in to GTTV on June 11. Most revelations will most likely be saved for E3, though the show may be worth watching nonetheless.

“E3 is almost here! GTTV starts E3 first with Spike’s All-Access to the show, before it opens. With a ton of never-before-seen world exclusives, outrageous surprise guests and debut announcements that will send the industry buzzing all the way to E3, GTTV starts the biggest video game convention before anyone else.”

Believe it or not, Pac-Man turned the big 3-0 on Saturday. And to honor the video game character’s anniversary, Google replaced their logo with a fully-functional version of the arcade classic late last week. Fortunately, even though Google has reverted back to its normal self, Pac-Man is playable on a newly dedicated page.

The game contains 255 levels, along with the well-known glitch in the 256th level. Additionally, a second player can control Ms. Pac-Man with the “WASD” keys.

Today’s Pac-Man’s thirtieth anniversary, so you know what that means, right? An homage on the Google homepage! Not only is the game playable, but a second player can also join in on the fun. Simply press “Insert Coin” twice, and Ms. Pac-Man will pop up on the screen. Pretty neat, don’t you think?

“I was art director on Xenosaga Episode 1, which was also my first project at Monolith Soft. I was director and art director on Baten Kaitos and Baten Kaitos II. For the soon-to-be released Xenoblade, I made concept art. Outside of these, when we get graphics work from other companies, I do direction inside the company. By the way, I’m currently…I’m doing secret work (laughs).” – Baten Kaitos series director Yasuyuki Honne

Man, I can’t even begin to tell you guys how much I love Baten Kaitos. I’d be absolutely thrilled if Baten Kaitos III was announced for Wii. Unfortunately, the sales of the first two games might prevent that from happening.

This information comes from GameFly editorial director Garnett Lee, who was speaking about Capcom outsourcing existing franchises to western developers on the latest Weekend Confirmed podcast…

“Boy, their E3 bombshell puts that to test. I’m not going to spill it because I don’t want to make anyone mad, but boy their E3 bombshell puts that to test.”

There are definitely several possibilities this game could be about. I just hope it ends up on a Nintendo platform!

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The American Heart Association and Nintendo of America today announced a first-of-its-kind, multifaceted strategic relationship aimed at helping people create healthy lifestyles through physically active play. The two organizations will work together on multiple fronts to help consumers discover how active-play video games contribute to healthy living. Their joint efforts will arm consumers with information, provide people with hands-on experiences and arrange a summit of representatives from different backgrounds to discuss the benefits of active-play video games.

“Our two organizations come from different worlds, but we share a common goal,” said Clyde Yancy, M.D., president of the American Heart Association. “Showing people accessible ways to stay active has been a part of our mission for decades, but our research tells us nearly 70 percent of Americans are getting no regular physical activity. As an organization we are looking for ways to change this. Nintendo has demonstrated clear leadership in active-play video games with the popularity of the Wii system, and I’m confident that together we can encourage Americans to become more physically active.”
