Not going to E3 2013 this year? No worries! Twitch has you covered.
A ton of games will be demonstrated through live-stream broadcasts during each day of the show. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are filled with tons of demos, including Watch_Dogs, Batman: Arkham Origins, DuckTales Remastered, Rayman Legends, and Scribblenauts Unmasked.
The full schedule can be found below.
Square Enix has filed a trademark in Europe for something called “Deadman’s Cross”. A corresponding domain name was registered back in April.
To be clear, Deadman’s Cross is coming from Square Enix’s main division – subsidiary Eidos does not appear to be involved.
What Deadman’s Cross actually is remains a mystery for now…
Zelda’s first original outing on the 3DS will run at 60 frames-per-secondd in both 2D and 3D.
In an interview with EDGE, Eiji Aonuma said that implementing 60 FPS as opposed to 30 FPS helps to maintain the 3D effect.
He said:
“The game runs at 60FPS, while all the 3D games up till now have run at 30fps. The faster the framerate, the more stable the 3D effect, so 60FPS is a big deal.”
Aonuma also mentioned that players won’t be forced to play in 3D if this is something they aren’t interested in:
“Well, there are players who don’t like 3D and always keep it switched off, so there’s nothing in the game that absolutely requires 3D, like puzzles that can’t be solved without it.”
Downtown Nekketsu Koushinkyoku: Soreyuke Daiundoukai will be hitting the Japanese eShop as a Famicom download on June 12 for 500 yen. Screenshots of the game can be found above.
Japanese gamers will be able to purchase an enhanced version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms XII later this year. In September, Tecmo Koei will release “Romance of the Three Kingdoms XII with Power Up Kit” for the Wii U, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita.
Exact details haven’t been confirmed at this time. However, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XII with Power Up Kit will likely offer enhanced AI, natural disasters, and the option to upgrade all unit types.
Nintendo 3DS owners will now be able to access free Wi-Fi through O2 hotspots throughout the UK
3rd June 2013 – Nintendo has today announced a partnership with O2 to provide further Wi-Fi internet access to users of its Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 3DS XL consoles across thousands of locations in the UK.
Nintendo 3DS owners will now be able to automatically connect to the internet for free whenever they enter locations or venues covered by the O2 Wifi service. These include highstreet locations such as McDonalds, Debenhams, Pizza Hut, Costa Coffee, House of Fraser, Toby Carvery as well as public venues such as The O2, Twickenham, Bluewater and the Central London boroughs of Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea.
There’s no need to worry about any complicated setup on your Nintendo 3DS as just being in range of an O2 Wifi hotspot is enough to go online, providing you have the latest system update. When you are near to a compatible area – all of which can be found using Nintendo’s handy Hotspot finder – the Nintendo Zone icon will blink to notify you that free Wi-Fi internet access is available. Nintendo 3DS owners will then be able to access a multitude of online features, allowing a seamless online user experience whether at home or on the move.
