Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids is coming to the 3DS and PlayStation Vita, Warner Bros. announced today. A release is planned for the summer.
Here’s an official overview of the game:
LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids players will face their greatest challenge as they work to protect New Ninjago City from the Overlord’s Nindroid army. Infiltrate Borg Tower, fly the Kai Fighter and face off against the evil Tech Wu. Take to the streets in Cole’s Earth Mech and Jay’s Thunder Raider, defend the skies in Zane’s Ninjacopter, escape Pythor on Lloyd’s Golden Cycle, and enter the Digiverse for an epic final battle. Story mode features additional favorite characters like Nya, Sensei Garmadon, Samurai X, and PIXAL.
Hellbent Games is working on Nindroids as an action-focused sequel to 2011’s LEGO Battles: Ninjago for DS. It’ll feature 30 levels and a story that follows key plot points from the “LEGO Ninjago Rebooted” animated series.
Players will need to use special movies and combo attacks to progress. LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids also offers secret weapons such as Technoblades to hack into computers to solve puzzles and defend the city.

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 8 Comments
We’re almost three years removed since Capcom cancelled Mega Man Legends 3. However, Keiji Inafune is still dying to make that game, even though it’ll probably never happen.
Inafune, speaking with USGamer, noted how Legends 3 is the game he wants to create the most. It’s his ultimate wish. “I put so much effort into that game, so much passion into that game, but it didn’t happen,” he said. “It’s always a regret in my mind.”
If Capcom were to approach Inafune about bringing Mega Man Legends 3 back to life, he believes he could gather most of the original team members are make the title.
