5th April 2011 – All aboard the submarine, as we’re going diving on 6th May 2011, when Steel Diver launches across Europe for the newly released Nintendo 3DS system. This naval strategy action game will have you hooked from the start, with immersive glasses-free 3D graphics and creative use of the Nintendo 3DS gyro sensor during gameplay.
Submerge yourself into this watery world by taking the controls of your very own submarine, guiding it safely past obstacles and dodging attacks from enemy ships out to get you. Enjoy three different game modes in Steel Diver, each offering varied, fun submarine action in full glasses-free 3D.
I wasn’t going to post this, but I figured I might as well. Ubisoft is already bringing its “Petz” line to the 3DS. I suppose this counts as one of the many games they have in the works for the system. I’m not interested, but perhaps one of you guys out there are… or maybe not.

SEGA has previously stated that the company has numerous plans for Sonic’s 20th anniversary. It looks like we’ll be finding out what one of those surprises is later this week. According to SEGA’s Twitter page, an announcement of sorts will be taking place on Thursday.
“Sonic’s 20th Anniversary is this year, but SEGA start celebrating on 7th April and you’ll only find out how on the Sonic Facebook page!”
Capcom’s Captivate 2011 event is officially underway. The press will be experiencing already-announced titles for the next couple of days, but there is likely to be a surprise or two as well. Unfortunately, we won’t see anything from Captivate until next week. That’s because an embargo is in effect for all material until next Tuesday at 8 AM PST. Of course, that encompasses previews, screenshots, and trailers. We’ll be sure to bring you all assets once Capcom releases them online.
Update: Added higher-quality video.
Tales of the Abyss 3DS will no longer hit Japanese store shelves on May 19. Namco Bandai announced a delay for the game and have yet to provide a new release date. No reason was given for the delay.
