Resident Evil Revelations washes ashore this week on 360, PS3, PC, and WiiU

Capcom has confirmed today that the port of the 3DS adventure, Resident Evil Revelations, will be launching tomorrow across North America and May 24th across Europe, for the 360, PS3, PC, and WiiU. Revelations will be available as a retail package AND as a digital download title, so even lazy peeps who stay in the house can get it!

Praised by critics as being a return to the series’ horror roots (especially due to the limited ammo and guns), Resident Evil Revelations takes place between RE4 and RE5, and features fan favorites Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine as they battle horrific mutations on a boat and in the damaged city of Terragrigia. Revelations now contains HD graphics, enhanced lighting and sound, a new enemy called the Wall Blister (who hopefully spews out pus for extra grossness), an Infernal Mode difficulty level (which, based on its name, is probably filled with enemies that throw fuzzy kittens at you), and extra characters Hunk and Rachael have been added to the game’s Raid Mode.

Add-on DLC is also planned for Revelations (SURPRISE): the Resistance Set and Enhancement Set contain six upgrades each for various weapons and will be available June 4th for 160 Microsoft Points or $ 1.99 / €1.99 each. Another weapon pack will be ready for Jill, Parker, and Jessica on June 18th for 80 Microsoft Points or $ 0.99/€0.99 (no name for this pack yet, but I hope it will be called the JPJ Hotness Pack). Last but not least, two more characters will be available to purchase for Raid Mode June 11th: an infected mutation of Rachael named Rachael Ooze and a lady version of Hunk simply called Lady Hunk. These characters will set you back 240 Microsoft Points or $ 2.99 / €2.99 each.

Check out the REVEALING launch trailer below, as well as sexy, SEXY pics of Lady Hunk and Rachael Ooze (DOSE LEGS ON HUNK AND DAT FACE ON RACHAEL, MMM!).

Metro: Last Light shines in this week’s UK charts

It’s another familiar week of UK cha-… oh wait, it isn’t.

After Dead Island: Riptide sliced through its competition for three weeks, this time it’s dethroned by another follow-up in the form of Metro: Last Light. By debuting in top spot, it does what Metro 2033 failed to do when it placed fifth in 2010.

Chart-Track says Metro 2033 sold stronger than Last Light in its launch week. Back then, Metro 2033 was fighting March megatons like Final Fantasy 13, God of War 3, and Battlefield Bad Company 2. In contrast, May 2013 has been dead quiet – emphasis on dead.

Having said that, this week sees another new release in the top ten via Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity. The spinoff charts fourth this week. We expect the next 3DS Poke-game to do slightly better.

In other movers and shakers, Last Light only nudged Riptide into second place, making this week a 1-2 for Deep Silver and Koch Media. Tomb Raider drops out of the top five for the first time in its 11th week, slipping down to sixth. Meanwhile, Injustice: Gods Among Us and The Walking Dead (packaged retail edition) shuffle into eighth and seventh.

Twin-stick shooter ‘Narco Terror’ smokes some fools this summer



In what appears to be a modern take on late-80s arcade game Narc, Deep Silver’s Narco Terror is a twin-stick blast-everything shooter of one man (or two in local or online co-op) versus the cartels. The game is listed for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

Watch this morning’s summery Nintendo Direct right here

We’re not sure today’s Nintendo Direct will announce much in the way of new Wii U games. Well, it’ unlikely to reveal any new EA ones, anyway. What we do know is that the North American broadcast covers Wii U and 3DS games coming in the summer.

As ever, the North American stream intertwines with simultaneous ones from Europe and Japan. Ninty’s Euro division says its stream is about spring and summer Wii U games. Should you prefer, you can find both those streams after the break.

We hope you’re ready to rumble, because this summer party gets started at 10AM ET (7AM PT, 3PM UK) right here on this post, right here on this Joystiq. We’ll have all the news for you as it’s revealed, like lots of little suns peeking out from behind an Iwata-shaped cloud.

Atomic Ninjas brings multiplayer mayhem to PS3, Vita this summer

Atomic Ninjas brings multiplayer mayhem to PS3 and Vita this summer

Foosball 2012 and One Epic Game developer Grip Games announced the upcoming PlayStation Network release of Atomic Ninjas, a multiplayer action game for the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita.

Atomic Ninjas is a competitive 2.5D platformer in which up to four players compete in trap-filled arenas to be the last ninja standing. The twist is that players aren’t able to harm each other directly; instead, you’ll need to make clever use of environmental hazards, hiding spots, and item pick-ups in order to lead competing players to their doom. The game offers seven arenas and multiple gameplay modes, including a selection of team-based competitions.

Creator Grip Games describes Atomic Ninjas as the theoretical love child of Fat Princess and Crash Commando — a worrisome mental image, for sure, but potentially a worthwhile gameplay mix. Atomic Ninjas is set to launch this summer.

Putty Squad bounces onto pretty much everything this summer



British publisher/developer System 3 has announced an enhanced remake of its blue-blob-based action platformer Putty Squad, available sometime this summer on Xbox 360, Wii U, PlayStation 3, Vita, 3DS and Windows 8.

The original Putty Squad was initially released on Super NES back in 1994, as a sequel to 1992′s Putty for the Amiga. A demo was also released for Amiga and DOS systems, but the full game never dropped for either of those platforms. This new version, beyond offering obvious graphical improvements, will also include free downloadable levels and “location-based services used for extra content.”
