Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist, the Japanese manga and anime franchise, is getting a game on the 3DS. Namco Bandai opened a teaser site for the title today here.

Details are unknown at present. Keep that site bookmarked for future updates.



In a new Facebook post, eBay Germany points out a few reasons as to why consumers should consider purchasing a Wii U. It mentions: no used games blocking, no mandatory online, and no extra fuss.

The first two elements have been major points of contention when it comes to the Xbox One. Microsoft’s next-gen system will be implementing both items in one form or another, and haven’t sat well with the gaming community.

While not an explicit shot at Microsoft, the post does seem to be down on the Xbox One. Something tells me that Nintendo won’t mind…

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate producer David Cox reflected on MercurySteam’s 3DS game in this month’s issue of GamesTM.

While speaking with the magazine, Cox said that the team is “very proud” of what was accomplished.

He said:

“We’re very proud of it. It is our contribution to the series’ handheld dynasty and has been incredibly well received. It was always intended as a tangential addition to the Lords of Shadow range, however. It is a game that will reward those that plays all three, but will not affect anyone who will just join the fun in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2.”

Mirror of Fate didn’t stack up quite as well as the original Lords of Shadow or the Castlevania DS entries, but it’s not a bad game by any means. It’s already been on sale a few times, so if you happen to see it at a discount and have any interest, you may want to consider picking it up.

Thanks to joclo for the tip.


Splinter Cell: Blacklist was on display at the MCM London Comic Con just a few days ago. Art director Scott Lee hosted a stage demo at the event and shared some information about the game.
