We’ve had two dates for Sonic Lost World thus far. Over the past couple of days, SEGA revealed that the Wii U and 3DS titles will be out in North America on October 22 and Japan on October 24. What about Europe?

Gamers across the continent will have access to Sonic Lost World first. SEGA has made it official: Sonic Lost World will be available in Europe on October 18. It’s not a huge difference, but every day counts!

The Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney series has been around for quite awhile. But the latest entry, Dual Destinies, is involved with a couple of firsts. It’s the first release on the 3DS. It’s also the first game in the franchise to receive an “M” rating from the ESRB.

Capcom isn’t saying much about the ESRB’s decision to give out that classification. When asked for a comment, the company would only say, “Due to the nature of the various crimes and storylines in this latest title in the series ESRB deemed the title an M.”

Polygon has published a preview for Regular Show: Mordecai and Rigby in 8-Bit Land, which is filled with new details. Check out the summary below for a fresh batch of information.

– Side-scrolling shoot-em up
– Platforming elements
– Top-down exploration
– Dev team working closely with Regular Show creator J. G. Quintel
– Game pays homage to the u-bit era through its music, items, and design
– All of the game’s sounds are made from emulated old Nintendo consoles
– Collect “gold tapes” to purchase games and mullets
– Design merges three popular formats from the 8-bit era)
– Switch between Mordecai and Rigby at any time
– Mordecai can double jump
– Rigby is shorter and fits into nooks and crannies
– “The game has three modes that are intertwined, and players will be able to switch between them to complete levels. So the platforming mode is Mario-like and you can hop on enemies. It’s very familiar. Then there’s side-scrolling shooting, and also top-down shooting like in Fester’s Quest.” – director Jeff Luke
– Switch between the two characters throughout the levels
– Switch between modes as well
– Ex: In one level, Mordecai enters a space-like area, which allows him to transform into a spaceship and play the game as a side-scrolling shoot-em up; upon venturing into an area that was too narrow for him, switch to Rigby, who then played the game in a top-down mode that allowed him to access areas that would have been too high for him to jump
