Rare showed more of Twelve Tales: Conker 64 in a new video today, including previously-unseen footage. Check it out below.

Yooka-Laylee – new NPC revealed, new art
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Images, Wii U | 24 Comments
Playtonic posted a new Yooka-Laylee update on its website today. You can find it in its entirety here.
One of the notable excerpts from the update is a look at a new NPC, pictured above. Playtonic describes here as follows:
“One new character you may have spied in a recent issue of Edge is the slender lass below. Crayoned by our own Kev Bayliss, this yet-to-be-named NPC will require Yooka and Laylee’s assistance on the very first world of the game. Obviously she’s forgot to turn the iron off or something and they’ll need to go and get the spare keys off her landlord.”
Playtonic also unveiled a new piece of art at EGX last week, which was made by Dean Wilson. We’ve attached it below.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Screenshots | 0 comments
Capcom prepared an official set of screenshots from Monster Hunter X today. The images include the Nyanter Mode which we previously covered as well as Tamamitsune, one of the four main monsters. You can find all of the images below, along with a single shot of Keiryuu (mountain stream area).
Tamamitsune is an agile creature who can use the “Water Breath” attack, which gives players a status ailment. This covers the hunter’s body in foam, causing them to slip and slide on the ground.
