System 3 created the platform action-adventure title Putty Squad way back in 1994. This summer, an updated version of the game will be released on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii U, 3DS, and PS Vita.

Putty Squad’s re-release will feature overhauled visuals and free downloadable levels. System 3 also claims that the game “Plays even better now than it did originally”.

Wow, there really has been a lot of news about Ace Attorney 5 making the rounds lately. Just yesterday we we reporting about the game’s localisation and earlier today the game’s Tokyo Game Show demo was made playable online (only in Japanese, naturally). Now a rather legitimate-looking Famitsu scan is showing off a couple of familiar faces that are set to make a return appearance. Unless you want to surprise yourself when the game releases later this year, head on over the break to check it out.


These are the only assets sent out by D3Publisher for Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW! and Regular Show: Mordecai and Rigby In 8-Bit Land. We’ll have to wait a bit longer for screenshots.

I’m calling it: Amazon has lost its mind.

After originally listing “New Super Luigi” for the 3DS, Amazon updated its product page with screenshots from the New Super Luigi U DLC in New Super Mario Bros. U. It has been updated once more, and while it now properly lists the product for Wii U, the page now contains a $60 price tag.

There’s absolutely no way that content will be set at $60. And I’m still wondering why there’s even a listing for the New Super Luigi DLC given how Wii U DLC hasn’t typically been sold through Amazon.

Ah well… probably nothing to stress about.
