Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have teamed up for… a parental controls flyer, interestingly enough. The ad above was spotted in a video game store in Sapporo, Japan just recently.
As one would expect, the flyer intends to explain the use of parental controls and increase the awareness of game ratings between consumers. It will be distributed in stores across Japan over the next few weeks.
Dakko Dakko released a new trailer for Scram Kitty and his Buddy on Rails today, posted above. The game’s release date has also been narrowed down to April.
Join two quintessential gentlemen in action on 28th March for an epic adventure – from London to the mysterious city of Labyrinthia
5th February 2014 – Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the world of a legendary academic and puzzle sleuth is set to collide with that of a hot-shot, justice loving attorney from 28th March when Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney launches exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. Whether in the heat of a court case, or out on the streets of London or the mystical medieval city of Labyrinthia, prepare to witness two great minds come face to face with magic, witchcraft, and all manner of contradictions to get to the bottom of!
If you are new to either the Professor Layton or Ace Attorney series, this first crossover adventure for the pair combines the investigative and puzzle-solving game elements of Layton with the intense courtroom-based action of a Phoenix Wright title. Both characters are famed for their quick wits and powers of unearthing the truth, and in this joint outing will need to work together to leave no puzzle or court trial unsolved.
