New Adventure Game Allows Players to Bring Your Toys to Life™ Across Consoles, Windows PC, Web, Handheld and Mobile Devices
Santa Monica, CA – June 6, 2011 – Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) revealed today that Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure, an entertainment breakthrough for the video game and toy industries, will deliver the first-ever cross-platform gameplay experience across the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Wii™, Nintendo 3DS™, a variety of mobile devices, Windows PC and the web. Using the game’s Portal of Power™, players will bring their Skylanders interaction figures to life inside the game on any platform. During console and handheld gameplay, each Skylander remembers skill advancements and level-ups, allowing players to take their leveled-up Skylanders to play on any of the other platforms.

Be warned: 3DS update can cause Ridge Racer 3D to freeze
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
The first major 3DS update will be live in about 24 hours from now. However, you should be aware of the fact that the update can cause Ridge Racer 3D to freeze.
The bug may pop up before starting a Single Play or Grand Prix race. But it can be avoided if you simply abstain from pressing the “B” button on the Machine Select and Race Select screens.
Another firmware update will be offered in mid-June to patch the issue.

The image below has been circulated around the net as a “leaked” off-screen shot of Super Mario 3DS from a Spanish magazine. However, the rumor has already been debunked. As you can see below, the first image was “recreated” using a photo from a different title.

3DS/Wii release lists – Super Mario Wii 2?
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
For the most part, I don’t put too much stock into release lists. You guys probably shouldn’t either, since it may just lead to disappointment! But I do admit that it is interesting to see Super Mario Wii 2 on there…
