We have a few details on SEGA’s newly announced 3DS game, Hero Bank.
The battle life RPG features the cyber sport “Hero Battle”. Those who take place in these battles download hero data from racers, baseball players, or anyone else they can think of. They then duke it out in a virtual arena.
Hero Bank is a battle life RPG. After battling in one-on-one fights, players manage the cash they win. Rather than saving the world, your goal is to become a billionaire.
A new game in the Retro Game Challenge series (otherwise known as Game Center CX) is coming to Japan. Namco Bandai will publish the title this winter. G.rev, the studio behind G.rev, is developing.

Activision and Infinity Ward recently held a new viewing of Call of Duty: Ghosts for the press at E3 2013. A couple of demos were previously shown to the public, but a third could only be seen behind-closed doors.
Here’s an overview as to what was shown:
– Takes place in Caracas
– Begins with the Ghosts atop a skyscraper in the Venezuelan capitol
– Helicopters pass overhead dropping crates containing powerful harpoon canons
– Use these to reach a tower in the distance
– As the team attaches and begin their high-altitude zipline ride across the gap, fireworks explode around them as part of an unspecified holiday celebration in the city
– The team opts to repel along the side of the building, stealthily taking out enemies as they move from floor-to-floor
– Player isn’t on rails
– At one point, an enemy moves from one room into another and the player must strafe sideways to get a shot at him or risk being discovered
– The Ghosts soon reach their target level, use a laser cutter to carve a circular hole in the glass, leap backward, and kick through it
– Inside, the team finds a server room and begins to install some form of hacking device
– As it’s running, a patrol approaches, coming close to discovering the player as the hack slowly completes
– The tension comes to a fever pitch as the player moves into cover just in the nick of time
– The squad passes, but the player and his partner take out two stragglers quietly
– New leaning function show: before moving on, the player peaks around a corner to make sure the remaining soldiers are gone
– This is part of a new “contextual leaning” system, which detects a player’s position in relation to an object, adjusting how far they lean accordingly
– The feature basically eliminates a common issue of side stepping while leaning to peak out more or less
– Lean system carries over to all platforms and multiplayer modes
– Animations included when climbing objects
– Can keep firing your weapon with one arm as you jump over obstructions
– New animation known as the knee slide, which lets players slide into a crouching position while running while still maintaining the ability to aim and fire their weapon
– Demo ends as the players return to the exterior, killing the power to the whole building via the hack, and dangling over enemies on a ledge below
– The player pulls out a knife, performs a leaping kill, fading to black as the score strikes up

Nintendo showed a whole bunch of trailers and content during its E3 2013 Nintendo Direct. I tried making an overview-type of video for the E3 2013 Nintendo Direct presentation that covers the material in the span of about 12 minutes. It was nearly impossible fitting everything into a somewhat short video, but hopefully it wasn’t too bad!
