Zombrex Dead Rising Sun

Zombrex Dead Sun Rising
Capcom gave the word that Keiji Inafune’s film about surviving the Japanese side of the zombie apocalypse will be distributed freely in Europe and North America this summer. Zombrex will be released digitally, via a series of eight episodes with English voice-overs – French, Spanish and Italian viewers apparently get subtitles.

I guess a free movie is a free movie, but really, we couldn’t have the original voice tracks as an option?

Anyway, catch the trailer after the break to find out what a new kind of first person action film looks like.

Your Recommended Dose of Aya Brea

The Third Birthday
Famitsu has put a healthy dose of images and screenshots for The Third Birthday online, which you can catch here, and here. It sounds like overdrive – Aya’s ability to inhabit and control other people – is pulling at a more strategic experience than the straightforward body hopping I might expect from any other game. Inhabiting soldiers in order to reposition them, and still being able to attack via them rather than watching events unfold sounds ideal, but at this point what I don’t know about the game could still fill a warehouse.

On the list of things I do know – I need the above image in poster form immediately.

Okamiden’s Japanese Date

Okamiden
Capcom’s updated the Japanese Okamiden site, which you can visit here, adding new details about bonus items, new wallpaper, and most importantly a release date of September 30, 2010 for the spiritual continuation of the series.

It’s definitely worth a visit – you can update your Okamiden art collection and watch some trailers before returning to wondering what portion of 2011 Capcom intends to leave the rest of us waiting for.

Trailer Park – Ni no Kuni

Ni no Kuni
Though I’ve been waving a fan flag since the first day I’d heard of a joint project between Level-5 and Studio Ghibli on the DS, it was hard not to pick at the way early screens for the game showed a sizable distance between the artwork for the title and the actual in-game results.

Recent word that Level-5 would also be bringing the game to the PlayStation 3 was poised to shut my mouth, and catching the trailer from the official site for the game has done the job and more.

The wait for this game has been at times agonizing, but it really does appear that good things come to the patient gamer. Word from overseas is that the PS3 and DS versions aren’t twins at all, but are unique games sporting key differences, with the DS release coming sooner – so there’s also still plenty to wonder about on the Ni no Kuni front.

In the meantime, you can catch the must-see PS3 trailer for yourself after the break.

Sonic’s 19th Anniversary

Sonic the Hedgehog
In the pursuit of finding more reasons to eat cake around here, it seems worth mentioning that Sonic the Hedgehog’s birthday is here, the original game releasing June 23, 1991. Incidentally I believe the Japanese release was June 26, which is worth mentioning even more because it means overseas Sonic has the same birthday as yours truly.

In honor of the occasion, and probably because there’s plenty of Sonic coming our way this year, Sega has a contest on the go for fans, which gives two very lucky winners a chance to head to Tokyo to visit Sega Japan and the Sonic development team.

For the next two weeks Sega is putting the call out for fan videos filled with Sonic love – though you should probably pay the official site a visit so you don’t misinterpret how I phrased that and film something regrettable.

How Would You Change Nintendo’s 3DS?

3DS
As polished as the 3DS presented itself at E3 last week, it’s been floating around lately that Nintendo has gone on the record saying that the 3DS’ design is not 100% final – so the question begs to be asked, what would you, the gamer who ultimately buys the thing, change?

When the original DS was announced under the codename “Nitro” it had a very different look from the final launch design, some say for the better, some for the worst. Nintendo is very good about getting feedback on their consoles and either changing them before launch, or soon after releasing revisions that cater to fan needs and wants.

Sin & Punishment 2 Has TV Spots…?!

Filed under: News Feed — Tags: , , , , — Jamie Love @ 3:33 pm

Sin & Punishment 2
Way back in the dark days when I wondered when Sin & Punishment 2 would release and how much of a push Nintendo would give it, there were a few people who said –

“What do you expect them to do for a niche title? Give it a television ad?”

That was fair game back then too, because there was zero chance of something like that happening. And yet, if you continue on after the break, you can catch the television spot reminding you that the game releases this Sunday.

Incredibly strange amazing days – if I actually see this on tv during the week my head might explode. Has there ever been an ad for a Treasure game on television before?

Also, touche Nintendo, touche – though you should have asked me for a quote for the spot too.
