Wii U

Bandai Namco and Slightly Mad Studios prepared one final trailer for Project CARS. You can watch it below.

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart! Fire Emblem If has maintained its position at the third spot.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between April 16 and April 22.

During Level-5’s “Vision” event in March, a few new 3DS games were announced. One of these was Yo-Kai Sangokushi, which is a new collaboration title in partnership with Koei Tecmo.

This week’s issue of Famitsu has an interview with Koei Tecmo Games head Hisashi Koinuma. As expected, Yo-Kai Sangokushi was one of the things the magazine asked about.

Famitsu starts off by mentioning that he surprised by the fact that Yo-Kai Sangokushi is a collaborative title between Yo-Kai Watch and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This led Koinuma to say:

Romance of the Three Kingdoms has its 30th anniversary in 2015, so everyone in the company is excited. I think Yo-Kai Sangokushi is a fitting title to adorn the 30th anniversary. I’m especially happy that Level-5 president Akihiro Hino likes Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Epic Mickey director Warren Spector held a Reddit AMA a few days back. Spector shared plenty of insight about the original game and its sequel, and tackled some very interesting questions. He was asked about topics like Epic Mickey’s dark concept art that never seemed to be realized, how he tried pitching a film based on the series to Disney, and the one thing about Mickey he couldn’t show.

You can find a full roundup of Spector’s comments below. They’re certainly worth checking out!

Comcept and Deep Silver released a few screenshots from Mighty No. 9. We’ve attached them below.

Update (5/1): Pre-orders open at Best Buy.


Pre-orders are now live for Mighty No. 9’s physical version. You can reserve the game on Amazon here or GameStop here. Note that there is not a 3DS option at present, which makes sense given how the portable versions are arriving later.

It’s also worth mentioning that Amazon and GameStop are listing the same price point. Mighty No. 9’s physical release appears to be priced at $30.

Nintendo released a short promo video for Splatoon’s Turf War mode. View it below.

Digital Foundry has cooked up another technical video that examines the frame rate of Mario Kart 8. All of the game’s new tracks have been tested, and it should come as no surprise that the DLC seems to maintain a stable 59-60 FPS. Check out the video below.
