1.- IGN has conducted another survey, this time asking 62,000 readers which console they’re most interested in. The majority of users are looking forward to the next Xbox and PlayStation 4 – both of which are expected towards the end of next year. Surprisingly 34% were interested in the rumoured Steam Box from Steam compared to 40% for Wii U. Obviously this should change once Nintendo lifts the lid on Wii U at next months E3.

The pre-order goodies for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 have shown up on a few select retail sites and they are nothing short of underwhelming. For instance, if you decide to pre-order the game with Amazon what will you actually get? Well, you will receive a free digital wallpaper. Not exactly the best pre-order incentive I’ve ever seen, but then again, does the Call of Duty series really need pre-order incentives?
Amazon - Free Call of Duty: Black Ops II digital wallpaper with your pre-order.
Best Buy - Free Call of Duty: Black Ops II dog tag with your pre-order.
GameStop - Free 2-sided Call of Duty: Black Ops II posters and free Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 prestige token for PUR members (Xbox 360 and PS3 only) with your pre-order.
Ubisoft has reconfirmed that the previously delayed Rayman Origins for Nintendo 3DS will be arriving in North America on June 5th. Ubisoft stated in their press release that Rayman Origins will be available to purchase at retailers and online on June 5th. The interesting thing is that the game comes out the same day as Nintendo’s E3 press conference where they are expected to reveal more information about same day digital and retail releases.
2.- Ubisoft is confident that the next generation of video game consoles, including Wii U, will be profitable for the company. The company believes that initial development costs won’t go up primarily because developers can really leverage the capacity of the hardware and all the new features that come with the console to help bring a new experience to the consumer.
“So you need to invest less on the size of the those games to still give a great experience. So at the beginning of that generation we won’t have an increase – or a very small increase – of the cost of the games that will be launched.
“So that will make this [next] generation a very viable and profitable generation – like last time we had an increases of $10 in the price of different games.”

US retail emporium Best Buy are selling the fairly controversial Metroid: Other M for the ridiculously cheap price of $7.99. Admittedly the game did receive rather mixed reviews from the gaming press. If you were previously sitting on the fence about buying it, then now’s the perfect time to do so.
Monolith Soft, the Nintendo-owned development studio behind the fantastic Xenoblade Chronicles, is helping develop Sega, Namco and Capcom’s Nintendo 3DS exclusiveProject X Zone. The game is a 2D beat-em-up which features famous characters from the three aforementioned game studios. Fan favourites such as Ken, Ryu and Mega Man will all be making an appearance.
3.-, Square Enix has revealed via Twitter that it doesn’t plan to release Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance “Mark of Mastery” edition in Europe. However, Square Enix hasn’t ruled out the possibility that Europeans will get their own special edition version of Kingdom Hearts 3D for Nintendo 3DS.
Nintendo’s slightly lack lustre Wii U is going to have to blow us away with better specs and great 1st party line up.
