Unseen64 has once again shed new light on THQ’s cancelled first-person Avengers title, which was slated for Wii U at one point. The video below has additional details about the project as well as a bit of prototype footage sprinkled throughout.
Several new games out came out this week on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a peak at the gallery below.
Monster Hunter X launched in Japan earlier today. The series is extremely popular in the country, so as expected, plenty of gamers stood in line in hopes of nabbing a copy. You can get a feel for what some of the crowds were like in the gallery below.
Splatoon’s next North American Splatfest is now confirmed for next weekend. In the new event, the focus is on food. Players can either be on Team Hamburger or Team Pizza.
The new Splatfest will begin at 12 AM ET on December 5 / 9 PM PT on December 24. Per usual, it’ll last for a full day, and the results will be shared soon after.
GameStop has a pre-order bonus available for Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. If you reserve the game, you’ll receive a paper craft character.
The unfortunate thing here is that it seems you’ll only receive one of four characters. GameStop has Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Goomba, but orders will include a random one. In any case, you can pre-order Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam here if interested.
It’s also worth mentioning that Nintendo has something similar up on its Japanese website. You can print out paper characters here. No Yoshi though!
Cube Creator 3D developer Big John Games has informed us that Lionel City Builder 3D: Rise of the Rails is on track for the North American 3DS eShop early next month. Pricing will be set at $7.99.
The studio also put out a new trailer, posted below.
Lionel City Builder 3D: Rise of the Rails comes with two modes: a Creative Mode and Story Mode. The former allows for landscape and city creation where custom trains can be driven through. Meanwhile, Story Mode teaches players about driving trains, repairing tracks, and keeping the rail system alive and well. More details about both modes plus general information can be found after the break.
More extensive gameplay from More Minecraft: Story Mode – Episode 3 is now available. Check out the latest video below.
