Angry Birds Trilogy heading to 3DS
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Rovio’s Executive Vice President of Games Petri Järvilehto has revealed Angry Birds Trilogy for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and 3DS. Järvilehto says that the experience has been “built from the ground up”.
Angry Birds Trilogy features three games in one: Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds Rio. The package offers support for PlayStation Move, Kinect, and StreetPass. Additionally, individual leaderboards will be available for each level.
According to Järvilehto:
“You can think of the game as the ultimate collector’s edition. There are new cinematics, extras and other entertaining content. In addition all of the existing material has been uprezzed and re-treated for the high-resolution and big screen.”
“The backgrounds have been animated, we’ve added lighting modes, reactive backgrounds, the list goes on and on. We believe that there are a lot of people on the consoles who appreciate a great casual game play experience. This is a game that resonates across a wide audience on many platforms.”
“There have been so many fans asking to be able to play the game on their home console with their friends and family, and so far we haven’t been able to offer anything to them. Now we’re finally able to have a great high quality experience on those platforms.”
Angry Birds Trilogy will be released this holiday.

Harada talks Namco Bandai involvement in next Smash Bros., characters
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
The next Smash Bros. is “a big priority” for Namco Bandai, says Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada. He also indicated that his Tekken Tag Tournament 2 team will likely he assisting in the Wii U and 3DS projects even though they’re currently occupied with their own title.
Harada said:
“Obviously it’s a big priority for the company, so company-wide there are a lot of people involved with that particular project. Not just from Tekken but a lot of our franchises. Although our main core staff is busy with Tekken Tag tournament 2 and trying to finish that up, I do think we’ll support the initiative in some kind of capacity.”
As far as characters in the new Smash Bros. games are concerned, Harada noted:
“That question was one of the most frequently asked questions we got when we announced the project. Especially from abroad. The fans, rather than asking about Tales or Gundam, or some of our other franchises, the fans abroad saw Tekken as one of the key words and took off on that. We’re not really sure at this moment but when thinking of the playerbase who is playing Smash Bros, maybe Tekken characters is something they wouldn’t want, so I’ve been pulling back on that a bit. But I don’t know.”
Now that there’s an actual Smash Bros. team being assembled, we’ll start to hear about the Wii U/3DS games on a more regular basis. If we’re lucky, maybe Nintendo will have something to show at next year’s E3.
