Your Recommended Dose of 3DS Resident Evil

Resident Evil 3DS
Capcom dispatched North American updates on their two 3DS Resident Evil projects, perhaps to spare some of us translation woes over the info coming from Japan this week, or perhaps to make extra sure we all hear that – “hey kids, you can run and shoot and chew gum at the same time in a Resident Evil game!”

It’s probably worth mentioning a few times that this startling ability only appears attached to talk about the Mercenaries 3DS project, which brings back stages from Resident Evil 4 and 5 along with currently listed characters Chris Redfield, Hunk, Krauser and Claire Redfield for some run and gun fun – visit the Japanese site here.

The other and more tradition title, Revelations, has something I don’t see very often associated with a Resident Evil game – concept art, which of course gives a glimpse into another of Chris and Jill’s mutation filled vacations.

Catch it after the break.

More Costume Quest – Grubbins on Ice

Costume Quest Grubbins on Ice
An extended dose of Double Fine’s Costume Quest releases for some, with Grubbins on Ice releasing for Xbox LIVE Arcade today at 400 Pts – sorry PSN fans, you have to wait until December 21 when it releases for $4.99.

While PlayStation owners sharpen their knives over that, the 360 crowd can visit the universe of Repugia, complete with new costumes like the ziplining pirate, eyeball, and Yeti, as well as eight new battle stamps and eighteen new creepy treat cards.

Dead Space 2 Demo Coming

Dead Space 2 Demo
EA sent word that we’ll be able to get a taste of Isaac Clarke’s trip through The Sprawl before the release on January 25, 2011, with a demo of Dead Space 2 hitting Xbox Live worldwide and the PlayStation Network in North America on December 21, 2010 – European PS3 owners have to wait one more day for a December 22nd release.

Additional word is that said demo offers a walk through the Church of Unitology, so maybe remember to say your prayers before playing, anything with religion involved is apt to be frightening.

I admit to digging that WiiWare now has fireplace gaming, though I don’t know if that counts as gaming? You can alternate between automatic and manual modes though, and switch themes to suit both festive and romantic occasions – finally a legitimate reason to make love by the light of the Wii!*

Catch a whole lot of log burning after the break.

Okabu

Okabu
I just got handed a trailer for Okabu, which is in development exclusively for the PlayStation Network by Rolando developer HandCircus.

The release sees two characters, Kumulo and Nimbe, ride clouds to save their world from industrialization, and perhaps more importantly gives the impression of offering gamers a landscape filled with weird and wonderful ideas, the sorta stuff Sony Japan used to offer more of.

Okabu is due to hit PSN in 2011, and you can catch the trailer after the break.

Images Worth A Few Words – Aya Brea Edition

The Third Birthday
I’ve tuned out on The 3rd Birthday over the last few months, mostly in order to skip Square-Enix’s strange new desire to twitter every last detail away during the lead up to the Japanese release of Aya’s PSP debut.

It’s hard to ignore this image of Aya in her now bloodstained wedding dress however, gracing the cover of Dengeki PlayStation, so I suppose Squeenix still knows how to grab my attention when push comes to shove.

NeoGeo Station for PlayStation Network

NeoGeo
SNK Playmore is all nostalgic about the 20th anniversary of the NeoGeo, and the PlayStation Network has been designated the celebration spot as of December 21, 2010, when NeoGeo Station starts extending the NeoGeo library to the PlayStation Network, with titles releasing for the PS3 at $8.99 and the PSP at $6.99.

Players can expect classic NeoGeo with a touch of the modern in the way of network play over PSN and Ad-Hoc compatibility for PSP.

Ten games will be available for PS3 when Station launches on December 21, with only Fatal Fury and Metal Slug available for PSP that day, though SNK Playmore plans to offer PSP versions of the entire launch list along with more releases during 2011.

The full list for the 21st includes Fatal Fury, Alpha Mission II, The King of Fighters ’94, Samurai Shodown, Baseball Stars Professional, Magician Lord, Metal Slug, League Bowling, Super Sidekicks, and Art of Fighting.
