Nintendo 3DS UK has uploaded a new promotional trailer for the recently releasedResident Evil: Revelations on the Nintendo 3DS. The video features a Jill Valentine look-alike cautiously roaming around a dark and dingy ships hull, which is bound to please some of you. Resident Evil Revelations is available to purchase now throughout the world.

I reported earlier in the week that GAME was cancelling pre-orders for the limited edition version of The Last Story, but now it turns out the troubled retailer is cancelling all pre-orders of the game. Consumers who have pre-ordered the game, which is due out tomorrow, have been notified that their pre-orders have been cancelled.

Hi,
Unfortunately we are no longer stocking The Last Story on Wii. If you return to the store they will be happy to refund your £5.00 deposit.
I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

2.- Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has stated that Kid Icarus: Uprising’s battle mode provokes fond memories of Smash Bros Brawl in terms of richness, volume and all-out chaos. Kid Icarus: Uprising is due for release March 23rd in North America and Europe.




”I was able to play the final version before this interview, and its richness, and an unparalleled sense of volume really came across, just like when I played Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the first time.


“When I saw the battle mode, one of the things I thought was that this was how the Super Smash Bros. games would look like in 3D. In many ways, like the fast pace, for example.”

Monolith Soft, the developer behind the fantastic Xenoblade Chronicles, is currentlyrecruiting staff for a brand new Nintendo 3DS game. The developer is looking for effect designers, motion designers and 3DCG designers. We already know that Monolith Soft is hard at work developing a game for Nintendo’s forthcoming Wii U console.

Nintendo of America has uploaded some spectacular footage of the fast and frantic Kid Icarus: Uprising multiplayer mode for Nintendo 3DS. Kid Icarus: Uprising is due for release in both North America and Europe on March 23rd. The multiplayer functionality for Kid Icarus: Uprising was demonstrated earlier at today’s Nintendo Direct conference.


3.- According to Famitsu, when you change between Sora and Riku in Kingdom Hearts 3D is determined through the “Drop Gauge”. The “Drop Gauge” depletes over time, but it can also be drained manually. Once the “Drop Gauge” is empty, you’ll switch to the opposite character. You are also able to obtain temporary increases in powers for the incoming character, new commands, and items during the switch.

Famitsu also went into detail on the the Dream Eater creation process. Dream Eaters that are created through the recipe process (talked about here) can be made stronger using special items and you’ll even be able to give them names. The new “Ability Link System” will also allow you to use Link Points to unlock new abilities for your Dream Eater and for yourself. There are new screenshots after the break.

SEGA has released the first screenshots of Game Gear games on the 3DS. 

There are lots of new screenshots from Dynasty Warriors VS that you can check out after the break.

There are a few new screenshots from Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People Die that show the puzzle and the novel components of the game.
