Koto Battle: Tengai no Moribito will be hitting the Japanese eShop as a Game Boy Color download on May 30 for 600 yen. Screenshots of the game can be found above.
LucasArts is primed to share a title reveal at E3 2012 next month. The company is sending out invitations which mention an “unannounced game in development”.
This could be anything really. EGM asked LucasArts if the project features lightsabers, but it wouldn’t confirm or deny the possibility.
There have been hints of a MMO game for Wii U. Maybe this could be the announcement?
We’ll find out in less than two weeks.
So, what happened to that Order Up!! demo for the eShop? It’s nowhere to be seen on the digital store this week, and it wasn’t included in Nintendo’s update.
Developer SuperVillain Studios had previously confirmed the demo for today’s eShop update.
… Maybe next week?
There’s an obvious reason as to why there has been a lack of significant Wii U news in the last year. Nintendo wanted all developers and publishers to keep quiet about the console until this year’s E3, when the company will finally be ready to blow the lid off everything.
So it really isn’t surprising that Vigil Games creative manager Jeremy Greiner has relayed the message that the studio can’t talk about the Wii U version of Darksiders II yet. He’s been given “a strict gag order”, meaning he can’t say much about the game or the console itself.
Greiner said:
“If I didn’t have a strict gag order on me, I’d love to talk about all the great features that we have, but what I can tell you is that it’s a next generation platform, and you should keep your eyes open. We’ll obviously be using the unique controller that it has to its utmost potential, but speaking to specific features or tech effects… well, that’s in Nintendo’s playground right now. And I know that they have plans for E3.”
Re-posting this since THQ was taking down all versions of this video yesterday. It’s been officially released now.
Tecmo Koei is making Ninja Gaiden’s Ayane available in Dynasty Warriors Vs. through a SpotPass download. Players can download the character as well as a new stage starting today.
You can find screenshots of Ayane in action in the gallery above.
It’s amazing that we’re actually getting a 3DS VC game for the second week in a row. I don’t even remember the last time that happened.
This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following featured content:
