Marvelous Entertainment today showed off the first trailer for the next installment in the No More Heroes saga. It’s called No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle, and features a chick with crazy gun arms, along with Travis Touchdown quips. That’s as far as info goes for now, we don’t even know the platform, but check out the debut trailer straight from the Tokyo Game Show below!
Square-Enix loves their remakes. We’ve already seen Final Fantasy III and IV remade in 3D, and in November Chrono Trigger gets a re-release for the DS with some added features. It’s easy to see how Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen, a remake of an old NES game, might get lost in the shuffle. With it’s old school design, simple battle system, and limited technology use, does DQIV have what it takes to hold up against Square’s juggernauts?
Another big announcement at Nintendo’s press conference today was Sin & Punishment 2 for the Wii. The original N64 on-rails shooter is one of the most popular imports of all time, and was recently released on the Virtual Console. Because of the interest we’ve all shown, the sequel will be coming to North American retail in 2009! First trailer below and screens after the jump! Now, if only Nintendo would release Earthbound on VC so we could all show how much we love it and get some sequels released here…
Nintendo’s hilarious handheld RPG series ‘Mario & Luigi’ will be returning to the DS in 2009! This time Bowser will join the team in their fight against evil. The game (I’m assuming) follows the events of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time on the DS, and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga on the Game Boy Advance. First trailer and screenshots below!
Nintendo today announced that Punch-Out!! will finally be making its return after fifteen years… and it’s going to be a brand new game for the Wii! Details are scarce right now, but we do know that you’ll be Little Mac going through the ranks of the world’s greatest boxers to become a champion. What else do you need to know? The title is currently scheduled for release in the first half of 2009. Check out the debut trailer and screenshots below!
Take a look at the future of Nintendo’s handheld gaming. It’s not a very different future, but a future nonetheless.
This is the DSi. Nintendo’s update to the regular DS hardware which was revealed late last night at Nintendo’s Tokyo media summit. Since I know you’re all anxious to learn more about it, I’ll run down some features.
It’s a little thinner than the DS Lite, largely thanks to the removal of the GBA slot. The screens are 17% bigger. Better speakers. Two cameras, one on the inside and one on the out, both with 0.3 megapixel resolution (ouch!). Internal memory. An SD Card slot, to take pictures onto, and also to transfer downloaded DSi Ware games from the Wii to the DSi. Built-in Opera-based web browser. Price in Japan, 18,900 Yen, or about $180. Available in White and Frosted Black.
Releasing in Japan November 1st (Yes, one month from now), and 2009 everywhere else.
I think that’s about it. It’s not a huge revamping, but there are some pretty cool updates in there.
Now it’s time for some more sexy pictures of this tiny beast… after the jump!
