Information Update - Nintendo 3DS


1.- You may remember a rumour which came from the Paul Gale Network that claimed Batman Arkham Asylum, and Arkham City developer were working on a mature Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game for Wii U, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.

More After the Break...

Well, it turns out that the rumour was completely untrue, as the developers have explained to Kotaku that they’re doing no such thing.

Mesut from Nintendomination has rather kindly uploaded the first sixty minutes of Rhythm Heaven Fever for your viewing pleasure. Rhythm Heaven Fever is developed by Nintendo and is the third game in the Rhythm Heaven series. The game is coming to North America on February 13th and is due to be released in Europe sometime in the Spring.


Epic Games vice president Mark Rein has told journalists and developers at this years DICE summit that the company’s next generation Unreal Engine is currently running on “systems we can’t name yet”. We already know that Epic were behind the Japanese garden Wii U demo, so it wouldn’t be surprising if the engine is up and running on Wii U.

2.- Unsurprisingly Activision has confirmed that there will be a brand new Call of Duty game released later this year, and have declared that the game is looking “fantastic”. Activision also mentioned that the next instalment of the immensely popular Call of Duty will feature ”meaningful innovations.” The publisher has yet to announce what platforms that game is appearing on, but hopefully we can expect Wii U, Wii and 3DS versions.

“This year we expect to further expand our presence with the launch of an all-new epic first-person shooter title under the Call of Duty brand. From what we’ve seen to date, the game already looks fantastic and will bring meaningful innovations to the franchise.”

Crash Time 3D has been announced for the 3DS. The Burnout-like racing game is set in “a completely open world environment” and has “fully interactive and destructible surroundings”. There is an ongoing storyline throughout the game and five different modes:

• Campaign
• Single Mission
• Time Attack
• Crash Haste – Stop the criminals.
• Rush Hour – Race through the traffic.

According to the listing at Play.com, the game is set for release on the 6th of April.

3.- The latest issue of Jump magazine has revealed that the plot in Fire Emblem Kakusei revolves around two dragons: one to protect humanity and the other meant to destroy it. Both dragons awaken when two heroes (each with the mark of a dragon) meet. This sets the end of the world in motion.

The game has two main characters. One of them is the Krom. He is the Prince of the Kingdom of Iris. The other main character is of your own creation, with choices in regards to gender, their face etc.

There’s also mention of the Free Maps feature. This lets you roam the map freely to do such things as battle or buy goods. One new feature allows you to enter into battle with a ally which not only gives you the added benefit of having his or her attack your disposal, but will also net you increased abilities. You can check after the break for a scan of the article.

There are new screenshots from Guild 01, a compilation of small games from Japanese developers.

There are more screenshots from CRUSH3D that show the “Theme Park” world, the hint function, and the unlockable bathrobe feature in the game.
