Pet Zombie 3D
Majesco has upped the zombie quota coming to Nintendo’s 3DS with the announcement of Pet Zombies in 3D this morning. The release will offer players a chance to raise and care for their own human zombie pets, with attention paid to dietary preferences, bodily maintenance and morbid activities. The undead pet simulator will offer various customizable backgrounds as well as the opportunity to customize your growing horde.

The 1st Playable Productions developed title was announced for a Fall release on the 3DS, alongside Majesco’s other 3DS entry, The Renegade Kid developed, Face Kart: Photo Finish – if you guessed the game lets you put your face in the driver’s seat, you win!

The countdown for tomorrow’s North American and European Nintendo 3DS blowout begins.

Nintendo 3DS World Event Japan
I’m going to make an effort to get back to games that are coming out over the next few weeks today, but there’s no avoiding a video round-up as Nintendo’s 3DS Event fills YouTube with the off-screen joys of Star Fox and Paper Mario while presentation video involving Mii’s and AR Cards threaten to shatter your fragile grip on reality.

Enjoy!

The Resident Evil Factor

Resident Evil 3DS
I couldn’t help remembering over the weekend that it was pretty well ten years ago that Resident Evil played a major factor in my purchase of a GameCube – zombie exclusivity was a harsh mistress back then.

And even though zombies can be had by the bucketful today, watching Jill Valentine slowly move through the tight corridors of Revelations’ ship at sea brings back plenty of warm memories – the more things change, the more they stay the same I suppose.

Anyway, stir your own memories with an overdose of Resident Evil video from both the 3DS titles and let me know what you think.

Nintendo 3DS World Event Videos
Tecmo-Koei offers up over five minutes of video trailer-ing Dead or Alive: Dimensions for the 3DS, possibly confirming that bullets and daggers will fly out of the screen with lethal efficiency – the video also shows a list of moves players can apparently activate by tapping with the stylus.

Additional “all things 3DS” video offers up a different five minute ride, running through an overview of the hardware powering this brave new portable 3D future.

Good Morning 3DS

Nintendo World 3DS Event
Nintendo’s Japanese 3DS event kicked off this weekend and Internet headlines erupted, particularly with the additional specs on the battery life – 3-5 hours when using the 3D in 3DS, and 5-8 hours when gaming the old fashioned way.

What’s interesting while slurping my coffee this morning is the list of titles slated for Spring and Summer 2011 via Nintendo’s 3DS page, which despite all the buzz Capcom has captured over the past few months show the biggest early contributors to the 3DS library so far as Ubisoft, Namco and Konami.

Ubisoft has 5 games listed – Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs 3D as a February 26th launch title, and Spring 2011 showing Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars, Splinter Cell 3D, Driver Renegade, and Rabbits Time Travel.

Another interesting tidbit is the initial launch pricing presently attached to February titles – Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle launches alongside the system for 5,980 Yen ($72 USD) while Ridge Racer 3D runs 6,090 Yen ($73.3 USD) – assuredly making Nintendogs + Cats a steal at 4,800 Yen ($58 USD) – keep in mind those are just USD conversions and not final US pricing.

Plenty more bits of info litter Nintendo’s Japanese 3DS Site, so check it out.

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.

How Would You Change Nintendo’s 3DS?

Filed under: News Feed — Tags: , , — Sam Scott Given @ 10:15 am

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.
