2K Sports announced MLB 2K13 a short while ago. But the company is mixing things up in a rather big way.
MLB 2K13 will only land on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Unlike last year, there isn’t anything in the works for the Wii or DS. There isn’t a Wii U edition either.
No baseball on Nintendo platforms this year, then.

Felynes play a big role in Monster Hunter 4. As explained in Famitsu, two companions will join players on their adventures, one of which is customizable. You’ll be able to choose from different eyes, ears, and fur.
A sub Felyne will accompany users during quests. These creatures can change the type of union attack that is executed. Also of note: Felynes are capable of clinging to enemies, holding them in place or taking them out of the air.
Along with the Felyne details, Famitsu has a first look at a few new monsters. Rathian, a fire-breathing female, Gendrome, and Congalala are revealed in the magazine.
