Following in the footsteps of Skylanders, Disney and PDP have unveiled the very first figurines for their upcoming NFC-based game Disney Infinity, shown above. There are four figures displayed (two from Monsters Inc., two from Cars) and a showcasing stand for them, but PDP says the stand will be able to house multiple toys, the power discs (to get them into the game) and other accessories as well.

Capcom’s PAX East lineup includes two unannounced games

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments

Capcom will be announcing two games at PAX East next month. The company plans to reveal both projects during the “World of Capcom” Panel.

A description of the event reads:

“Moderator Francis Mao (CAPCOM) leads a panel of Capcom’s producers and product managers to share the latest details on all the upcoming Capcom games such as Remember Me, Lost Planet 3, Resident Evil: Revelations, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, two NEW product announcements, and more! Up to 1,000 fans will walk away with a free gift, so this is a panel you definitely do not want to miss!”

Capcom will host its panel on March 22 at 12 PM ET. As far as the expo itself is concerned, this will be taking place between March 22 and March 24.

I do wonder if either (or both) of these games are Wii U-related. Capcom recently teased news for the console that would be coming “in the not-so-distant future.”

Below is a listing of Capcom’s PAX East lineup:

Remember Me
Lost Planet 3
Resident Evil: Revelations
Darkstalkers Resurrection
Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Capcom Arcade Cabinet
Two new unannounced titles

Namco Bandai comments on Naruto Powerful Shippuden packaging error

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment

Namco Bandai will be moving ahead with the error found on Naruto Powerful Shippuden’s boxart. First print copies will feature the title “Nartuo Powerful Shippuden” on the spine – the game’s incorrect spelling.

If you’re one of the unlucky (or should we say lucky?) few with packaging blunder, you’ll be able to swap out the cover with a replacement through an online “printable replacement label”.

Namco Bandai has also confirmed that it will rectify the error for future pressings.

In a statement provided to Nintendo Everything, a Namco Bandai representative said:

“NAMCO BANDAI is aware of the labeling error for Naruto Powerful Shippuden. The spelling will be corrected for additional pressings of the game and we are currently working on an online solution to provide a printable replacement label for all our customers who would like to replace their box covers.”

Sakurai says his arm pains are worse than originally thought, and it’s impacting work on Smash Bros.

Posted on 12 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments

Last month we reported on some unfortunate muscle pains that were plaguing Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai, but this month we have some even worse news: Doctors say the issue is more severe than originally thought, and he’ll have to cease using his right arm almost entirely in the coming weeks. Don’t take my word for it, though, here’s Sakurai himself explaining the issue in a weekly blog he writes for Famitsu:

“I think the one word I’ve said the most this year, by far, is ‘Ow!’. Not only am I getting calcific tendonitis, but they’ve also found what are apparently several ruptures in the muscles. There’s no instant cure for it, so all I can do is either block the pain with injections or put my arm in a cast to keep the ruptures from spreading. I was told that the important thing was to keep my arm as rested as possible.”

“If this disorder lingers, or if it never gets fixed, there’s no telling what impact that would have on the project. I’ve had to control two characters at once in a lot of game projects up to now, so as long as I keep it to simple moves, this works well enough. It doesn’t go that easy with the Nintendo 3DS version, though, and the debug camera is pretty hard to control. Still, now I realize how important it is to have your health. I’m glad I’m still in good enough shape to work.”

– Kirby, Smash Bros. Creator Masahiro Sakurai

Well… at least we know the 3DS version has a debug camera now! Best of luck to Sakurai, and I think I speak for a lot of folk when I say I hope he gets better both for Smash Bros. and for his own sake!
