In addition to adding Midnight Blue to the North American DSi XL color wheel, Nintendo may also be making gaming recommendations for the system via a new trailer for Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies – set to release on July 11, 2010.
Admittedly I haven’t been paying very much attention to the title – it’s clear that the multiplayer questing business merits more immediate investigation on my part.
As always, catch a glimpse after the break.
Following on the revelation of three new color flavors for Japanese DSi LL owners, Nintendo of America has only announced one of them as destined for North American shores. What’s probably most interesting about the announcement is that the suggested retail price remains $189.99 for the system, which releases on July 11, 2010 – you may recall that the system is getting a price cut in Japan.
Guess we’ll have to wait it out for more distant 3DS motivated discounts.
The mini-games of No More Heroes 2 have already taught me that managing waste disposal in space is an ordeal of cosmic proportions. And while the DSiWare release of Flametail finds plenty of ways to back up that notion, it also finds space between the planets to create a puzzle game that mixes simple and patient controls with devious designs, lightly crossing two genres to offer up a title worthy of some overdue DSi reviews.
Hidden behind all the growing noise of news and reveals that promises to crush every last one of us under the weight of the hype falling this week and next, Southend Interactive released a hefty dose of Zen for your Monday with a “summer” trailer for their exclusive XBLA title, ilomilo.
I promise you that watching Ilo and Milo navigate and manipulate the obstacles of their 3D space is the best one minute and thirty-two second gift you can give yourself today – I may even be watching it repeatedly between last minute E3 bookings to take the edge off.
Catch it after the break.
Let’s kick off the E3 2010 trailer bombardment right, with another look at a title I’m increasingly interested in, Ninja Theory’s Enslaved. It’s definitely the one title I’m most turned around on this year – now I just need to get my paws on it.
The haunting beauty of future wastelands, robotic monstrosities, and a bit of water surfing await you, after the break.
I’ve just received an early morning email challenging my ratio of coffee to awakeness. Awakeness might not actually be a word, but like I said, it’s early.
Anyway, this morning’s brain teaser asks what you get when you conjure up a fierce windsurfing werewolf, a purple flying fish, a yellow plaid bus and a small zombie riding a polka-dotted hot air balloon.
My first guess was the type of nightmares I have after eating a big sandwich before bed, but the correct answer is in fact Super Scribblenauts – the DS followup promising to bring the magic of adjectives, which allow players to change the color, size, style and behaviors of the objects summoned via the power of the word.
Said image is mildly amusing, but as with the last release I’m looking forward to seeing what scenarios all of you come up with. I’m also incredibly happy to see the word “Super” return to game titles.
From the moment a pack of zombie dogs chase a pixelated S.T.A.R.S. team into Umbrella’s infamous mansion, it’s clear that the merger of two of my favorite game franchises is not only long overdue, but is in fact the greatest thing ever.
MajorNeese’s Youtube channel has been posting the four part series over the past few months, which I have somehow been completely ignorant of. “How have I not seen this?!” is all I have to offer at the moment, and judging from the view count of the videos I’d say I’m not alone, but this will not stand.
You can catch the four part series after the break, and/or pay the videos a visit at Youtube. Whichever you prefer just make sure you don’t miss the greatest mash-up of forever – the chocolate and peanut butter reign is over.
