High-Octane, Adrenaline-Fueled Adventure Tasks Players with Saving Spider-Man This Fall
Santa Monica, CA – March 31, 2011 – Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) and Marvel Entertainment, LLC today announced Spider-Man™: Edge of Time, where Spider-Man faces one of his greatest challenges ever – saving Spider-Man. Developed by Activision-owned studio Beenox, Spider-Man: Edge of Time challenges the player to take on the roles of both classic Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099 to correct a timestream gone awry and prevent a catastrophic future brought on by the early and untimely death of Peter Parker.
“The first Spider-Man entry by Beenox, Spider-Man™: Shattered Dimensions was touted as one of the wall-crawler’s best Spider-Man games to date from both critics and fans,” said Vicharin Vadakan, Director, Global Brand Management. “Beenox is once again taking a fresh and different approach to bring a fast-paced and high-octane adventure and unexpected story to life in Spider-Man: Edge of Time.”
I believe this trailer was already released in Japan (especially given the Japanese text), but it’s definitely worth watching. The video features some of the impressive locations players can visit on their journey in Xenoblade Chronicles. We’re still waiting on a localization announcement for North America, though the situation is a bit more promising since the game was confirmed for Europe earlier today.
Man, if this doesn’t see a release in North America now, I’m going to be extremely displeased!
XENOBLADE CHRONICLES TO REACH EUROPE
Nintendo of Europe can confirm that it will be bringing the epic RPG, Xenoblade Chronicles to Europe for Wii. The title, already launched in Japan, brings to life a universe where two worlds called Bionis and Mechonis fight a war that knows no end.
Suda51 has made a number of comments in the past regarding a third No More Heroes game. The topic of another sequel was once again brought up during Grasshopper Manufacture’s charity event yesterday.
Suda51 said that “Although it won’t happen soon, I’d like to do it at some point.” Following that remark, he turned to character designer Yusuke Kozaki and mecha designer Shigeto Koyama, saying, “Let’s make it together.”
Kozaki chimed in with a couple of comments as well. Apparently there were so many unused character ideas from the first two titles in the series that two more follow-ups with these axed characters could be made. Kozaki also has interest in making a game in which Shinobu is the star of the show. Nothing is planned at the moment, however.

Ridge Racer 3D really came a long way if you ask me. To be honest, the game looked quite bad at E3, but many folks are really enjoying the game.
Update: A number of folks are speculating that the announcement will be Monster Hunter 3DS. The game was apparently going to be announced at an event on March 13, but was cancelled due to the situation in Japan. Some believe the game will be revealed at Captivate this week, but I’m personally not too sure that will happen…
Yoshinori Ono made an appearance for the launch of the 3DS in Spain and was able to answer a few questions for the press. The Street Fighter producer was once again asked about the possibility of Street Fighter x Tekken coming to the handheld, but only offered the same information that was provided to Eurogamer. So it’s something that Ono would like to see, though nothing is planned at the moment.
Other than that, Ono teased that a big announcement is on the way. It seems likely that the reveal is 3DS related. Perhaps Capcom will share the announcement during Captivate, which will be taking place in less than two weeks.
