“We wanted to do things like this, because that kind of 2D arcade shooter feels like it’s perfect for space combat and we get to have loads of Lego bricks flying around and blowing up.”
“Wanted to push the story and show new locations, show new worlds that people haven’t been to before and refine what we can do in the game. I’m a little bit restricted about what we can say. I know we’ve got some fantastic things we’re really excited about showing but with this being the first announcement we’re not revealing it all. In particular the voice acting: there’s some really cool stuff we’re putting in place for that.”
Warner Bros. Interactive has pulled back the curtain on LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. The game will be released this fall on Wii U, 3DS, PS4, PS3, PS Vita, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS Vita, and PC.
Here’s an official overview of the game:
In LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, the Caped Crusader joins forces with the super heroes of the DC Comics Universe and blasts off to outer space to stop the evil Brainiac from destroying Earth. Using the power of the Lantern Rings, Brainiac shrinks worlds to add to his twisted collection of miniature cities from across the universe. Now the greatest super heroes and the most cunning villains must unite and journey to different Lantern Worlds to collect the Lantern Rings and stop Brainiac before it’s too late.
LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham will include over 150 characters from the DC Comics universe, including members of the Justice League and LEGO big figures such as Killer Croc, Solomon Grundy, and more. “Fans of all ages will be able to control their favorite heroes and villains with new gadgets and abilities,” Warner Bros. said in its announcement. “Brainiac’s mind controlling abilities and the power of the Lantern rings bring unexpected twists to the classic characters’ personalities.”
LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham also allows players to visit iconic locations including the Hall of Justice, the Batcave and the Justice League Watchtower. Additionally, it’ll be possible to access Batman’s training modules on the Bat Computer and take part in various challenges, battles and races.
Generally speaking, we shy away from posting classification listings unless they are of some significance. While the OFLC’s rating for Bayonetta 2 doesn’t bring anything new to the table, it does seem to be a sign that the game will be arriving sooner rather than later. We also learn that the game has earned a MA15+ rating – the same classification as its predecessor.
In a new tweet published by Nintendo’s Japanese Twitter account, the company has confirmed plans to create a YouTube affiliate program. Nintendo intends to split advertising proceeds with video creators sometime in the future. We don’t have many details at this time, though we’ll be sure to keep you updated on additional developments.
Nintendo has shared new details about “Super Smash Bros. Smash-Fest @ Best Buy”. For those unaware, the company is teaming up with Best Buy for a special Smash Bros.-related event during E3 week.
