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!
SEGA has announced a new title for the 3DS called “Hero Bank”. It’s an RPG that will be released in Japan on December 19. SEGA has also confirmed that Hero Bank will be playable at the World Hobby Fair next month. You can find some screenshots and art in the gallery above. Details should be out soon.
At E3 2013 last week, Austin caught up with Platinum Games’ Hideki Kamiya for a brief chat. Kamiya shared an interesting nugget about the Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2 development teams.
According to Kamiya, because The Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2 groups work in the same space, there’s often some (lighthearted) rivalry between the two. He can look over his desk and see what is going on with Bayonetta and feel as though he needs to one-up their intense action scenes, so in an indirect way, the games may bleed over into one another slightly.
