Skulls Of The Shogun: Bona-A-Fide Edition Coming To Steam Next Month

June 18, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Skulls of the Shogun surprised Xbox Live Arcade players earlier this year with a quality dose of turn-based, tactical combat. Developer 17-Bit is officially bringing the game to Steam this July with added content and a new subtitle: Bone-A-Fide Edition.

The Bone-A-Fide Edition includes the full original game with an additional campaign episode. These four new chapters take place after the original game’s ending and are led by a new protagonist. A new unit, the Tanuki, and six multiplayer stages have also been added.

Skulls of the Shogun: Bone-A-Fide Edition will be available for purchase through Stream and the Humble Store this July for $ 14.99. You can pre-order the game now, however, and get immediate access to the game’s multiplayer beta for a discounted price of $ 11.99.

Pac-Man Museum collection coming to digital platforms, includes Pac-Man Battle Royale

June 13, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Ghosts everywhere are quivering in terror, as Namco has made a pair of new Pac-Man announcements. First up is Pac-Man Museum, a collection of games spanning Pac-Man’s history. The publisher hasn’t announced the full line-up of games, though it will include Pac-Man’s “humble beginnings,” Championship Edition and Pac-Man Battle Royale. This marks the first time you’ll be able to play the multiplayer Pac-Man game without visiting your local arcade (apart from an iPad demo, anyway).

Pac-Man Museum is coming to XBLA, PSN, PC and the 3DS and Wii U eShop. The press release also notes that, for whatever reason, Museum will not include Championship Edition on XBLA or PSN.

In other Pac-news, Pac-Man: Championship Edition DX is getting a free update that adds new content, including improved leaderboards, achievements and medals. It also features “access to additional DLC mazes, music and graphics.” These include the ability to play with graphics from other Namco games, including Dig Dug and Rally-X. The update, which officially turns DX into DX+, is headed to Xbox 360, PS3, Steam and Windows 8 this summer.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director’s Cut Coming To PS3, 360 & PC

June 12, 2013 by Leave a Comment

It turns out that Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director's Cut won't be a Wii U exclusive after all.

GameSpot has confirmed that the improved version of the game – featuring better boss battles, improved graphics, AI, and balancing, and more – will be coming to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Similar to the already announced Wii U version (which naturally features exclusive GamePad integration), no release date has been announced. There is also no indication if the Wii U will get the Director's Cut first, or if there will be a simultaneous release.

For more on the Director's Cut, take a look at this trailer for the Wii U edition.

Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare coming in spring, planned for PC

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare is being planned for PC, producer Brian Lindley told Joystiq at E3. The third-person action game was announced for Xbox One and Xbox 360 at EA’s E3 press conference yesterday. Lindley said the game will launch in spring 2014, and that “at the moment we’re not announcing any platforms.” You know, outside of PC.

Garden Warfare was announced with a demo of its four-player cooperative multiplayer action. Lindley confirmed that the game will include competitive multiplayer modes in which players can control zombie characters instead of plants.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut will launch on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC/Mac later this year, Square Enix announced in a press release. The version was initially announced for Wii U in March, and Eidos Montreal said the Director’s Cut improvements were not planned for other platforms as of April.

The touchscreen features seen in the Director’s Cut version developed for the Wii U version will translate to Microsoft’s SmartGlass app and the PlayStation Vita.

Final Fantasy XV And Kingdom Hearts III Coming to Xbox One

June 11, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Square Enix has announced plans to release two of its action/RPGs on Xbox One as well as PlayStation 4.

This news comes after yesterday's announcement that Final Fantasy Versus XIII is now Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III is in development.

When we asked Final Fantasy brand director Shinji Hashimoto if the PS4 and Xbox One versions would release at the same time, the company would neither confirm or deny a simultaneous release date.

This is the first time the Kingdom Hearts franchise has appeared on a Microsoft console. Since this is the third entry, Matsuda was asked how the company plans to catch-up newcomers on Microsoft. As of right now, there's no plans for anything of that sort. But as Matsuda suggested, fans can look online at videos and to get a grasp of the complex history. 

Will you be picking up the games on Xbox One or PlayStation 4?

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced Wii Party U for the Wii U during the company’s Nintendo Direct stream today. This sequel to Wii Party was initially announced at a January Nintendo Direct event, but now has a full title and an October 2013 release date.

A gameplay trailer for the game showed four-player mini-game competitions, including ones in which players race animals around a track and another where four players use one Wii U Game Pad. Wii Party U will include 80 different mini-games.

Super Mario 3D World is coming to Wii U in December

June 11, 2013 by Leave a Comment

We all know that Super Mario 3D Land on the 3DS is way more fun than the two-dimensional New Super Mario Bros. games. Nintendo seems to be on board with that notion as well, as the next Mario game to come out for Wii U will feature a 3D world and be appropriately named Super Mario 3D World.

The big takeaway here is the new power-up being introduced: the cat suit. Mario and friends can climb falls and attack enemies with melee attack while wearing the suit, which looks very fuzzy in the trailer above.

3D World also offers a throwback of sort to Super Mario Bros. 2, as the playable characters in the new game will be the same ones that starred in the 1988 classic. Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Peach will all be playable and all will have unique abilities.

There will be giant bosses to defeat, Yoshi-like sea critters to ride, huge ice skates to frolic in, and probably much more to experience in Super Mario 3D World when it comes out this December on Wii U.

If you want to get your hands on the game before then, note that 3D World is one of four Nintendo titles being made available at select Best Buy stores this month. We’ll have in-depth coverage of the Best Buy games later this week.
