This week we have a special guest named Glenn, who enlightens us on The Sims (and some general EA goofballery) as well as providing some insight into… uh… other things. Or something. The list this week is YOUR top ten Ocarina of Time dungeons, and we also go over news/what we played, just like every week. Enjoy!

Heads up, Nintendo fans in Europe. Retailer ShopTo has discounted the Wii U Basic Pack to £189.85 for 24% savings. The console normally retails for £249.99 on the site. ShopTo also cut pack the Premium Pack‘s price to £279.85, but that’s only 7% in savings.
The latest issue of Germany’s Retro Gamer has revealed that a new Turrican game is in development titled “Turrican Rebirth”. Like its predecessors, Rebirth will feature 2D gameplay, and functionality is in the works so that weapons and stages can be shared with others online.
Platforms are unknown, and Turrican Rebirth is just starting out, so we probably won’t be seeing this one for awhile. Interestingly, Retro Gamer indicates that the project’s right holders have been in touch with Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams maker Black Forest Games.
Yacht Club Games will be at PAX East, as will the studio’s first game – so it seems. The company posted a banner image to its Facebook page indicating that the unannounced title will be present in some form. First details will be revealed in the next issue of Nintendo Force.
Last week, Yacht Club announced the formation of the studio. Various members of WayForward joined Yacht – specifically Sean Velasco, Ian Flood, Lee McDole, Erin Pellon, Nick Wozniak, and David D’Angelo.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
Professor Layton and the Azran Legacies launched in Japan a little more than a week ago. How’d it do? Well, while sales did see an improvement over Miracle Mask, the game’s debut is the second-worst in the series.
A look at Professor Layton’s series sales at a glance:
(2007) Professor Layton and the Curious Village – 136,736
(2007) Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box – 293,897
(2008) Professor Layton and the Unwound Future – 347,360
(2009) Professor Layton and the Last Specter – 306,473
(2011) Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask – 119,591
(2013) Professor Layton and the Azran Legacies – 130,686
Azran Legacies is supposedly the last main Professor Layton game. One has to wonder what Level-5 has in store for the IP going forward.
Let’s get this out of the way: take the rumor below with a huge grain of salt. Now that that’s out of the way, we can proceed!
Rumor has it that a countdown for a new Crash Bandicoot game launched preemptively before being pulled. Someone took a screenshot that is oddly low-quality and off-screen (already raising a red flag), which shows that the project is coming to “PlayStation”, Xbox 360, and Wii U.
Vicarious Visions is supposedly behind the new Crash Bandicoot. In January, a possible redesign for the character was spotted in an official photo from the studio, though there hasn’t been any official news concerning the IP.
Could there actually be a new Crash Bandicoot on the way? Or is this nothing more than a disappointing rumor?
