A couple of weeks ago, Capcom announced plans to host a “blood swimming pool” event in London. The company hoped to promote the new release of Resident Evil: Revelations while hosting an enjoyable happening for fans.

This was set to take place over the weekend, but has since been cancelled due to the tragic events that took place in the UK yesterday.

Capcom said in a statement:

“In light of yesterday’s sad events we’re cancelling our Revelations pool event. Thank you for your understanding.”

This is probably for the best. It just wouldn’t have made sense to host this given what happened.

Nintendo 3DS Version of the Classic Wii Game Features a New Mode, Additional Levels and New 3D Graphics

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Players all over the world fell in love with many memorable, adventure-filled moments in the well-received Donkey Kong Country Returns game for Wii: jumping around the game’s lush and colorful side-scrolling levels; clinging to the side of a swinging platform; riding on a speeding mine cart; and leaping from barrel to barrel between foreground and background. Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, launching May 24 for the Nintendo 3DS system, includes all these great moments, but also offers players a host of new features that were not available in the original Wii game and a beautiful new 3D makeover that makes the graphics look more impressive than ever before.

“Even if you played the original, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is optimized for portable play with new options and new levels,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “The new 3D graphics pop off the screen and add an even greater sense of depth to the layered environments.”
