Inafune teases future Mega Man announcements
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 5 Comments
Last week, Capcom unveiled Mega Man Universe for the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. But apparently that isn’t the only important news about the series this year. Keiji Inafune, speaking at a Comic-Con panel a short while ago, stated that there are more Mega Man revelations on the way. According to Inafune, additional announcements are imminent, one of which was described as “an oft-requested thing.” If any of these announcements happen to be Nintendo-related, we’ll certainly let you know.

New Pokemon revealed
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
The pink Pokemon in the image above is called Mamanb?. There’s some speculation that it could be an evolution of Luvdisc, but that has yet to be confirmed. Also, the Pokemon to the left of Mamanb? is Gigaiasu.
– Tank battle and classic videogame levels are featured
– New stealth tactics
– Daniel Craig and Judi Dench are in the game
– Tank mission: Behind the cannon, move with d-pad, face buttons aim artillery, tap the touch screen to switch button-controlled machine guns/cannon, tap to recharge shield
– Health/shields for tank: Two curved bars, too much damage will deplete your shield and you will start to lose health
– Helicopters, armed troops, tanks are enemies in the tank level
– Point of view doesn’t change what the tank controls define as forward
– Has an Archives level: Bond has been taken hostage, Bond girl being carried off, Bond gets on his feet, takes out the guards in combat (tap the screen when the proximity icon shows up), Bond then gets a handgun and ducks/runs through the level, finally pops out of an air duct and creeps up on a bad guy for a stealth kill
– Move Bond with the d-pad, rotate point of view with the touchscreen
– Touchscreen has a radar, shows level layout and where enemies are
– Mini-game: Looking at keypad, swipe a card before entering a code
– Kick a door by swiping the stylus
– Around 90% of the cutscenes are in first-person
– Local and online multiplayer
EA is a big fan of the 3DS
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
“I think it’s a great E3 for the industry. Normally, you come here and there’s one hardware surprise, and I can’t think of another E3 where everyone’s surprising in a positive way. And they’re positive surprises. It’s not like, ‘Yeah, they did that but I don’t know about that.’ Every one of [these new technologies] is cool. The 3DS is just incredibly cool. The 3DS is magical. You put that in your hand, you look down, and all of a sudden it’s in 3D without glasses. That’s an amazing experience. I’m a huge fan. I think that device is going to sell like hot cakes. I think it’s going to do incredibly well, and in typical Nintendo fashion they have re-energized the industry, yet again. I give them nothing but credit and we are excited to be supporting that platform with Madden, FIFA, and The Sims that we announced.” – EA’s John Schappert
I have to agree with Mr. Schappert when he said that the 3DS “is going to sell like hot cakes.” The DS has sold extremely well, and considering that the 3DS improves on Nintendo’s current handheld in numerous ways – as well as including glasses-less 3D technology – I can only imagine the sales that it’ll achieve.
