Players Race Across Time to Prevent the Untimely End of Peter Parker in Activision and Marvel’s Latest Spider-Man Video Game

Santa Monica, CA – October 4, 2011 – Today, Spider-Man™ faces his greatest challenge ever – saving Spider-Man – in Spider-Man™: Edge of Time, available now in North American retail stores from Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI). Created by Beenox – the studio that developed last year’s popular Spider-Man™: Shattered Dimensions – players take the roles of both Peter Parker’s Amazing Spider-Man, and Miguel O’Hara’s Spider-Man 2099 in a harrowing, action-packed adventure, spanning two timelines 100-years apart in order to thwart a cataclysmic future from happening – and the death of Peter Parker.

“Just like with Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, Beenox is bringing a fresh perspective to the series with Spider-Man: Edge of Time,” said David Oxford, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Activision Publishing, Inc. “Dee Brown and the team at Beenox worked closely with Marvel’s own veteran writer and co-creator of Spider-Man 2099, Peter David, on a high-stakes narrative experience where the ultimate challenge is not only to save the world, but also save Spider-Man himself.”


REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo has joined forces with top entertainment companies to provide 3D videos for the portable Nintendo 3DS™ system. The Nintendo Video™ service already delivers fun, entertaining 3D videos, and now that content will be enhanced with additional videos from DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. (Nasdaq: DWA), 3net and Blue Man Group. The videos, like all 3D content on Nintendo 3DS, can be viewed without the need for special glasses.

“Nintendo 3DS is a great canvas for creativity,” said Tony Elison, Nintendo of America’s senior director and general manager of Network Business. “These videos are premium-quality 3D entertainment and provide a unique platform for our partners to showcase their extraordinary work.”


Square Enix has released new footage of Bravely Default: Flying Fairy. The full introduction to the AR demo has been posted, as well as a couple of clips showing other areas in the game. Strangely, the footage doesn’t contain any sound… go figure!


It’s a shame that we’re just now seeing the first images of Spider-Man: Edge of Time on Nintendo platforms. The game is out tomorrow, after all! It would have been nice if Activision shared some direct-feed screenshots of the Wii/3DS/DS versions…

Thanks to Clayton for the tip!


Nintendo has released a new update for Pokedex 3D. The following features are now available:

  • There’s now a pause button on each Pokemon’s main screen which you can normally unlock when you receive each individual species from a friend.
  • The musical note in AR Viewer which is normally unlocked when you have 30 stickers in your sticker book is available.
  • Then there’s the SD Card Background Feature which is unlocked when you have 50 stickers in your sticker book.
  • Then there’s three more AR Viewer features. Real Size Button in AR Viewer would normally be unlocked when you have 100 stickers in your sticker book. Same goes for Scale Slider.
  • You’d normally need 150 stickers to unlock the Stopwatch in AR Viewer but that is also available for everyone now.

Players can receive the update through the application itself. Simply click the “Update” button in the settings menu.
