Just in CASE you need a new CASE, Nintendo has you covered. The highly popular 3DS cases with interchangeable covers are coming back on December 19th, as announced on Nintendo’s Facebook page today.
Yeah, we seen these come and go, but the stock is always limited due to how handy and awesome this little accessory is. The 3DS game card case will only be around for a short time, so bookmark this page STAT and get your refreshing finger ready for the 19th.
Monster Hunter 3: Ultimate may not be hitting shelves for the Wii U until March, but that doesn’t mean we can’t begin to get excited. Today, Capcom released three new videos, displaying what makes this version of the game superior and worthy of ownership. These clips feature our hero battling with the new Lagombi, powerful Zinogre and flagship foe, the Brachydios.
The Wii U version will also be able to sync with the 3DS version, allowing players to transfer save files between their copies of the game. I am pretty pumped myself, and these trailers should be enough to get Wii U owners (and 3DS owners as well) thinking about the future.
Total War: Rome II may be set around the time period, but not necessarily only around Rome itself as Creative Assembly has begun to reveal the different factions that players will be able to choose from. While the first faction to be revealed was probably the most obvious, being Rome and all, the second starts to show the depth of the game when it was revealed as the North African Carthage.
So far only those two have been revealed, but there will be more to come in the upcoming weeks as the factions give players a nice diversity of play. Not only from different starting positions, but in different political systems and agents to utilize, even having varied styles of armies. Even further some of the factions will have multiple families, such as Rome, adding more complexity to how they play.
Until more of the factions for Total War: Rome II are revealed players can check out and compare the two factions already announced in the gallery below and see how the stack up to each other.
As a cross promotion with upcoming film Zero Dark Thiry, directed by Academy Award winning director Kathryn Bigelow, EA’s Medal of Honor Warfighter is releasing a map pack that utilizes international hot spots known for combat. The map pack, titled “Zero Dark Thirty” in North America or “The Hunt” everywhere else, adds two maps as well as 14 weapon camos ranging from designs like LBT and Neptune, to solid colors like Tactical Pink, to the names of the development team.
While the map pack was set to release on PC on December 17th through Origin, then December 18th to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in North America and then finally December 19th on PlayStation 3 in Europe, the Origin release has been temporary delayed, so the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 may end up getting it first. Players with the Limited Edition version of Medal of Honor Warfighter or pre-ordered version of the Digital Deluxe can expect the map pack for free, while those with the standard edition can purchase it themselves for $9.99 or 800 MS Points.

Ah, the holidays. Time to spend time with family, take off from work, and build that fortress in Minecraft. You know, the game that destroys sales on Xbox Live every week? Yeah. Minecraft hitting consoles was the best thing since sliced oranges, and now gamers can see how it all began with The Story of Mojang.
This documentary will follow the rise of a phenomenon, detailing Mojang and Notch’s humble beginnings, their present day success, and outlook on the future. It should be some gripping stuff, and luckily can be watched from the comfort of your living room as Xbox Live will be showing the doc on December 22nd at 8PM EST. Mark your calenders, brick builders, as this should be something worth watching. For those new to the franchise, check out our review here.
Retro lovers, your new toy has arrived. After much hype and promotion, the Neo Geo X Gold Limited Edition has hit store shelves, allowing fans to legitimately own a piece of one of the most loved brands in history. This set comes with a NEOGEO X Arcade Stick and the NEOGEO X Station – a replica of the NEOGEO AES console that allows memorable NEOGEO titles to be played on a big screen or monitor via HDMI or composite cable, and has 20 games already on the platform, ready to enjoy.
Those titles are as follows:
I am personally still on the fence for this device myself. Yes, it’s a beautiful piece of hardware, but that $199.99 price-tag is still a bit much considering the age of these ports. Collectors however will find this is the BEST way to obtain a NEO GEO device, and well worth the investment for nostalgia purposes alone. You can find the NEO GEO X Gold in stores today (as well as throughout many online retailers), and check out the drool-worthy launch trailer down below.
