We’ll just call this game Resident Evil: Revelations… it’ll easier to distinguish it from the 3DS version.

Resident Evil: Revelations is indeed coming to consoles. After weeks of speculation, Capcom has confirmed the title for Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. The new version launches on May 21 in North America and May 24 in Europe. Digital versions of Revelations’ HD port are planned.

Capcom is bringing extra content to the new version of Revelations. In addition to HD visuals, it will feature “a terrifying new enemy, extra difficulty mode and improvements to Raid Mode such as new weapons, skill sets and the opportunity to play as Hunk and other characters from the series.”

Revelations will cost $49.99 / €49.99 on consoles. The PC version will be available for $39.99 / €39.99.

LEGO City: Undercover is a big game. It features a large overworld that is probably bigger than the one included in LEGO Batman 2.

According to executive producer Loz Doyle, it will take players ten minutes just to drive a loop around Undercover’s city. The world is also made up of side roads, a ground level city, and more.

“It would take 10 minutes just to drive a loop of the city. That doesn’t even include exploring all the side roads and other regions. Not only is there the ground level city to explore but you can also get up on the rooftops where there is a whole load of additional gameplay.”

Capcom appears to have some sort of new Wii U game announcement on the way.

During a Monster Hunter Tri stream event yesterday, community manager Brett Elston teased incoming game-related news for the platform. Elston didn’t offer much in the way of hints, but did note that it may “not be too much of a surprise if you’ve been paying attention to the Internet”.

“… we should have more Wii U news in general very soon… for games. I’ll just tease that out there. Might not be too much of a surprise if you’ve been paying attention to the Internet, but probably very soon you’ll hear something else about a game for said platform.”

So what could it be? Well, there’s one significant, unannounced Capcom that has been talked about quite a bit as of late: Resident Evil: Revelations Unveiled Edition. While we’re not sure if the title is coming to Wii U, a port would certainly make sense and could fit in with ONM’s February teaser for a “stunning new game”.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

We are really proud to be partnering with Konami once again to bring the latest instalment in the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow franchise to Nintendo 3DS.”

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate hits Europe on March 8.

But Austin, what am I about to watch!?

This week on TPPGBE4, Austin and Aysha take on the fickle Professor Oak, trying their best to fulfill his devilish requirements for Pokémon photography. They don’t do very good, but they had a lot of fun even though it took them 10 hours to put this episode together.
