Second HITMAN Elusive Target “The Congressman” due next Friday 27th of May

Following the success of the first Elusive Target, the next unsuspecting Elusive Target is getting ready to meet his fate next Friday 27^th May.

Players will need to locate the elusive “Congressman” on a visit to sunny Sapienza*. Can more than 53% of players succeed this time? How many will be Silent Assassins? Only time will tell.

Elusive Targets are specially crafted, unique targets which are available in game for a limited time only. Together with Escalation Contracts and Featured Contracts, they form part of the regular weekly live content available in HITMAN in-between new episodes.

Five completed Elusive Targets will unlock the Hitman: Absolution suit in game for players, ten will unlock the Hitman: Blood Money suit and additional completions will unlock more suit variations.

Elusive Targets come with particular rules:
·         An Elusive Target is a once in a lifetime experience
·         They are available for a limited time only in game
·         Intel on the target will be limited
·         They will not appear in instinct mode, or the mini map and their locations will not be revealed to you – you’ll have to go and find them
·         Your target can only die once
·         If you die during the mission, that’s it
·         When the time runs out, they are gone for good
·         If you fail, there are no second chances

HITMAN is available on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, and Windows PC.

(* This Elusive Target is only available for a limited period of time and only to players that own the Sapienza location. To be clear, the Sapienza location is not included in the Intro Pack. If you do not own the Sapienza location already, but wish to experience this Elusive Target, you should either unlock all locations by purchasing the Upgrade Pack or purchase the Sapienza location separately. )

Can you imagine your gaming experience in MOBAs like League of Legends, Heroes of the Storm or Smite – or even competitive shooters like Counter Strike: Global Offensive – without the keyboard and mouse?

Thanks to the Nacon GC-400ES Alpha Pad and its Keyboard/Mouse mode, we could see the next LoL champions at Gamergy wielding game pads in their hands.

This gaming revolution will begin May 23rd, when Nacon will launch a worldwide crowdfunding campaign over on INDIEGOGO.COM. Gamers can help to make this project a reality by acquiring the new Nacon GC-400ES at a very special campaign price.

Additionally, backers can participate as campaign ambassadors in our referral program on Indiegogo, earning exclusive gifts by recommending and sharing the crowdfunding campaign with their friends and communities.

Among others, the main Nacon GC-400ES highlights features are:

• Careful ergonomic design, providing comfort and improving speed, facilitating combos.
• Incorporates a customisable weight control, tweaked with six weights ranging from 10-17g.
• An innovative structure to the right stick, increasing performance and gameplay possibilities.
• Exclusive software developed to provide greater accuracy, rivalling a traditional mouse for gamers.
• Compatible with all games, incorporates upgradeable software to follow the evolution of video games, in addition to macro customization.
• Two game modes: Classic PC (D-Input / X-Input) and Pro Gamer mode focused on MOBAs and shooter games.
• Four game profiles: In the eSports mode, you can customize up to four profiles in the internal memory of the game pad without software installation, just Plug and Play.

BRAND NEW BUNDLE FOR NINTENDO 2DS INCLUDES ACCLAIMED MARIO KART 7 FROM MAY 26

Selection of Nintendo 3DS games including Mario Tennis Open and Star Fox 64 3D to join the Nintendo Selects value range 

20^th May 2016 – The entry point to Nintendo 3DS games and franchises welcomes even more value with a new bundle for Nintendo 2DS set to include the acclaimed Mario Kart 7 – pre-installed on the console or via download code*. Releasing May 26, the new bundle will have a suggested retail price of just AU$149.95 (SRP AU$69.95 less than buying the console and Mario Kart 7 game separately).

Ever since it launched in October 2013, Nintendo 2DS has been the go-to system for newcomers to the world of quality Nintendo video games. The system plays nearly the entire library of Nintendo 3DS games in 2D, as well as most Nintendo DS games, and players with Internet access can compete online, or enjoy local multiplayer co-op experiences with other Nintendo 3DS family system owners.

Also on May 26, joining the classic titles already available for Wii and Wii U, the Nintendo Selects value range will welcome five of the most popular Nintendo 3DS titles at a new suggested retail price of AU$29.95. Whether you want to discover a game you may have missed the first time around or have simply been waiting for the best deal, the Nintendo Selects range offers varied gaming experiences at a value offering. The line-up is set to include:

Star Fox 64 3D: The Star Fox team returns for one of its greatest missions, originally released as Lylat Wars for Nintendo 64 in Australia and New Zealand. Blast enemies as you fly through ruined cityscapes and dense meteor fields, and take on friends in local multiplayer in this action-packed 3D shooter.

nintendogs + cats: Have you ever wanted to play with puppies and kittens in the palm of your hand? Look after a range of breeds, teach them tricks, enter them in different challenges and activities, and dress them up in a range of accessories. Different breeds are available to choose at the start of each of the game’s three versions: French Bulldog, Toy Poodle, and Golden Retriever. All breeds can be unlocked in all versions.

Mario Tennis Open: Thrilling tennis action for up to four players, either online or in Local Play. Run your opponent ragged with topspin, backspin, lobs and more, then get in position to pull off a stunning Chance Shot that’s sure to leave them completely bamboozled!

Yoshi’s New Island: Yoshi and Baby Mario are reunited for a free-wheeling platform adventure packed with classic Yoshi gameplay, all wrapped up in a collection of dreamy art styles. Hunt high and low for countless collectibles, and even smash through obstacles with the new Mega Eggdozers.

Mario Party: Island Tour: A content-packed party in your pocket! Dive into 80 hilarious minigames and share the fun with friends via Download Play, where four people can party on together with just one Game Card between them.

Those looking to step into the world of Nintendo 3DS games, and current owners of a handheld system in the Nintendo 3DS family can both look forward to great value and great games when the Nintendo 2DS bundle with Mario Kart 7 and five new additions to the Nintendo Selects value range both launch in Australia and New Zealand on May 26.
