Nintendo has significant marketing plans Animal Crossing: New Leaf. In the UK, the company plans to launch a “large TV campaign from launch which will run across the summer and we’ll be supporting it via press in both gamer and kids titles.” Promotion through Twitter and Facebook
Nintendo UK product manager Roger Langford told MCV:
“We’re excited to be bringing Animal Crossing New Leaf to the UK. It’s our biggest focus for 3DS this summer. We’re looking forward to exciting both existing fans and introducing new comers to the franchise. We’ll have a large TV campaign from launch which will run across the summer and we’ll be supporting it via press in both gamer and kids titles. The launch of the Facebook and Twitter pages means momentum is already starting to grow.”
Animal Crossing will be returning to the portable space following Animal Crossing: City Folk for Wii. The series is best-suited for handhelds, Langford says.
“Handheld is the natural home for Animal Crossing as it’s very much a game that players want to dip in and out of.”
Resident Evil: Revelations HD is out now in stores, but there’s still plenty to look forward to. Capcom is preparing a number of DLC pieces that are set to launch over the next few months.
The Resistance Set and Enhancement Set, due out on June 4, both include six powerful custom parts. Each is priced at $1.99.
Two new playable characters join Raid Mode on June 11. For $2.99, you can add Rachel Ooze and Lady Hunk to the roster. Regular Rachael and Hunk can be unlocked in Raid Mode without paying extra.
Also on the horizon, Revelations’ pre-order DLC weapons for Jill, Parker and Jessica will go live for all players on June 18. It’s priced at $0.99.

I think, at this point, it’s very difficult to judge a Resident Evil title without comparing it to past entries in the series. It’s almost like Sonic in that respect, constantly trying to reinvent itself with a blend of what people used to like about the franchise and a more modern, trendy aesthetic. With Resident Evil: Revelations on 3DS (2011), Capcom appeared to be making strides towards meshing their two play-styles (survival horror and action-horror) together, and after the critical and commercial success of the game they decided to re-release it in high-definition for Wii U, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360.
And honestly, I’m very happy about that.
Japanese blogs have been “ablaze” with talk about the Wii U version of Yakuza 1 & 2 HD. There is a thought that it suffers from slightly worse visuals compared to its PlayStation 3 counterpart that came out in Japan last year. Based on images released thus far, the Wii U version seems to possess some slightly jaggier edges, and an overall downgrade – though minor – in graphics.
