Despite being a long time supporter of the Xbox 360 in Japan, often releasing their titles exclusively for the console in the region, 5pb. has announced that they will be bringing Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds to the PlayStation Vita this Winter in Japan.

The side-scrolling chibi brawler was released worldwide back in March, my review of the game can be found here, but it appears that this Vita version of the game also feature a new gameplay mode and a guest character, likely making it at least partially superior to the original. As for the original Phantom Breaker game… at this rate the enhanced version of the fighting game will likely be released overseas before that one.

While far from an announcement, it looks like the Vita may be getting a dose of Duke sometime in the future. Over on Twitter Devolver Digital teased fans with an image showing Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition running on the PlayStation Vita. They followed up by simply saying “That is all.” so it remains to be seen whether or not this current PC exclusive is going to be making its way to the Vita in the future.

For those who don’t know, Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition contains an enhanced version of Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition and three unique expansion packs as well as the original version of the game.

WWE 2K14 to feature a ’30 Years of Wrestlemania’ mode

Today 2K Games revealed that they will be including a new gameplay mode in WWE 2K14 to commemorate WrestleMania 30 and the mode will simply be called ’30 Years of WrestleMania.’ In this mode players will take part in a campaign as they play through numerous iconic WrestleMania matches spanning the three decade long history of the event.

There will be more than 45 matches available and while not all of the matches have been announced so far, it will include the Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant match at WrestleMania 3, The Rock vs Hogan at WrestleMania 18 and the WrestleMania 28 main event of The Rock against John Cena, the first time, not the second time.

These matches will be played through as a campaign with authentically recreated arenas, Superstar entrances and ring attires and they will even be presented in the television quality of that era, meaning some screen filters will be added to older matches to recreate the feeling from that era. The full roster for 30 Years of Wrestlemania will be revealed during WWE SummerSlam Axxess this Sunday.

Xbox One controller highlighted in latest video

While we were given a look at the Xbox One controller back when the company showed it off during their console reveal, they never went too in-depth with the various changes that they have made to the controller and what makes it different from the Xbox 360 controller.

In fact, not too much has been changed on the surface level, but according to the General Manager of the Xbox accessories group at Microsoft, Zulfi Alam, there are over forty improvements to be found in the Xbox One controller. The biggest change includes the way that the d-pad is now designed, since one of the few complaints gamers had about the 360 controller was the way the D-pad was designed. Anyways, check out the video below to see a full look at the relatively pricey controller.

Paramount have given us our first look still (seen above) from the upcoming Jason Reitman-directed film, Labor Day – which started principal photography back in June – starring Academy Award-winner Kate Winslet (Revolutionary Road, The Reader) and the Academy Award-nominated Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men, True Grit).

Here is the official synopsis for the film:

Labor Day is based on Joyce Maynard’s novel of the same name, centering on 13-year-old Henry Wheeler (Gattlin Griffith), who struggles to be the man of his house and care for his reclusive mother Adele (Winslet) while confronting all the pangs of adolescence. On a back-to-school shopping trip, Henry and his mother encounter Frank Chambers (Brolin), a man both intimidating and clearly in need of help, who convinces them to take him into their home and later is revealed to be an escaped convict. The events of this long Labor Day weekend will shape them for the rest of their lives.

Labor Day will have its world premiere at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival in September, with an Australian release scheduled for February 6th, 2014.
