Europe will see the release of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity on May 17. The game’s confirmed North American date is March 24.

For the official announcement regarding Europe’s release, head past the break.



Kotaku has obtained marketing materials for Ubisoft’s new IP, Watch Dogs, which indicates that the game will be released on “all home consoles” this holiday. The thing is, the wording is nebulous. What exactly does “all home consoles” mean?

Watch Dogs has only been confirmed for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC thus far. Could the Wii U be in the mix?

Kotaku also writes today that Watch Dogs started out as a Driver game. We’ve heard rumblings about this before, so it wouldn’t be too surprising.

During yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, Satoru Iwata provided a brief update on Band Brothers DX 3DS.

Iwata said that there are plans to make the game backwards compatible with user-made songs from the DS game. Around 9,000 tracks have been created to date.

Currently, Nintendo is re-entering these songs manually. The conversion process is ongoing, but some songs may not make it out for launch. Nintendo nonetheless hopes to have as many as possible ready when the game releases.

Companies Confirm Plan to Release Angry Birds Trilogy on Wii U™ This Year

Minneapolis, MN – February 15, 2013 – Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), and Rovio Entertainment today announced that Angry Birds™ Trilogy has soared past one million units sold worldwide. Released in September 2012 on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft with Kinect™ for Xbox 360 compatibility, the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system with full PlayStation®Move support, and the Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system, Angry Birds Trilogy won fans over by combining Rovio’s three legendary mobile titles, Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, and Angry Birds Rio, along with new content, levels and features. Building on this success, Activision and Rovio will release Angry Birds Trilogy for Nintendo’s Wii™ and Wii U™ systems in 2013.

“Angry Birds’ proven formula for fun and addicting gameplay translated perfectly to the big screen, and the consumer response has been overwhelming,” said Jennifer Mirabelli, VP of Sales and Marketing for Activision Publishing, Inc.

“It was certainly satisfying to see Angry Birds gameplay adapt so well to other platforms in 2012,” said Petri Järvilehto, EVP of Games for Rovio. “The features specific to the Wii U are very intriguing to us, so we’re excited to release this version to fans.”

Completely recreated in striking HD with refined controls, gamers can play Angry Birds Trilogy with all-new animations and interactive backgrounds through 700+ levels with more than 150 hours of addictive gameplay. Angry Birds Trilogy: Anger Management, the recently released DLC pack, features even more content with 130 fan-favorite puzzles like Wreck the Halls and Birdday Party.
