Report: Square Enix America CEO leaves, joins Amazon

May 23, 2013 by Leave a Comment
hit 1st Report Square Enix America president is out

Square Enix America CEO Mike Fischer left the company this month and is now vice president of digital music and video for Amazon in Japan, Polygon reports. This follows news in April that Square Enix America eliminated “a number of positions” and Fischer was expected to leave in May. Those same reports said the head of marketing should be gone after E3, along with other employees in public relations.

In March, Square Enix President Yoichi Wada stepped down and the company announced widespread restructuring that it expected to cost $ 106 million. Square Enix posted a net loss of $ 134 million for fiscal year 2013, citing “weak” sales of major console games, including Sleeping Dogs, Hitman: Absolution and Tomb Raider, the last of which sold 3.4 million in its first month.

It’s also up for “pre-order notifications” on Amazon, the Microsoft Store, GameStop and Best Buy. Best Buy’s ad lists the Xbox One with a “holiday 2013″ release window, though all we know officially is that it’s coming “later this year.”

Game lists a pre-order holding price of £20 for the Xbox One, while Zavvi’s pre-order down payment is £400. Zavvi also has a lineup of Xbox One games for £50, including Call of Duty: Ghosts and four EA Sports games.

North American retailers GameStop and Amazon are offering up their own pre-order incentives for Watch Dogs, Ubisoft announced today.

Those who commit early through GameStop will receive an additional single-player mission, with a perk that unlocks “exclusive investigation opportunities inside of the network” and bonus cash when hacking into bank accounts, plus an exclusive poster designed by Alex Ross. Amazon pre-orders also get an exclusive mission that, upon completion, unlocks a special biometric assault rifle and an outfit.

Watch Dogs launches on the Xbox 360, PS3, PC and Wii U on November 19. A port is also planned for next-generation consoles.

Deadpool listed for Wii U by Amazon Canada

May 20, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Irreverent Marvel antihero Deadpool may be gracing the Wii U, at least according to a listing by Amazon Canada. Spotted by NeoGAF over the weekend, the retailer has High Moon Studios’ madcap action game pinned for the Nintendo console.

Unlike other platforms listed by the retailer, the release date is apparently a placeholder (December 31 2013) and the listing is minus details and box art. Even if a Wii U version is on the way, given the timing it seems unlikely it’ll launch alongside the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC ones on June 25.

We’ve reached out to Deadpool himself (and Activision) to clear things up.

Dragon’s Crown’s Amazon Has No Need For Armor

May 11, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Not to be confused with the popular online retail website, Dragon's Crown's Amazon is a mighty warrior who is apparently too strong to waste her time with armor, or clothes for that matter. You can check out the Japanese trailer for the Amazon below.

For more on Dragon's Crown, and to see more of the game in action, you can check out trailers showcasing the Wizard, the Elf, the Fighter, and the Sorceress. Dragon's Crown is coming to PlayStation 3 and Vita on August 6.

Dragon’s Crown introduces the Amazon

May 11, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Atlus released the sixth character trailer for Dragon’s Crown today, and it features the Amazon – remember when you saw that word and thought of female warriors rather than online deals? What this Amazon lacks in outerwear (or anywear), she makes up for with brute strength.

Today’s Amazon gaming Gold Box is for grown-ups

April 23, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Today’s gold-coated, quick-fire deals from Amazon seem to have one thing in common: plenty of moider. A good portion of the deals are for games that get a bit angry and violent; we spot a mouth-frothing line-up that hints at Halo 4, Hitman: Absolution, and Dead Space 3 deals among others. Then there’s the not-especially-calm Gears of War: Judgment, which is going for $ 34.99 until 8AM ET (5AM PT), tempestuously fidgeting as it revs its chainsaw.

At least the all-day deal brings peace and serenity in the form of God of War: Ascension. The latest PS3 whimsy starring the gentle, philanthropic demigod Kratos politely requests $ 39.99 for its individual services, or $ 279.99 for its 500GB Garnet Red PS3 bundle, which also includes God of War: Saga and a cuddly Kratos plushie (or at least it should).
