Though it went a bit under the radar for most at E3 thus far, Nintendo are steadily preparing for New Super Mario Bros. 2 for the 3DS. A new trailer was shown off recently, which shows the game in action and for the most part, the gameplay is what you would expect to see from this series.

The Power-ups within however are a completely different story, as there are a good number of new shells, flowers, and boxes to obtain, all giving Mario the power to gain more coinage. Throwing shells with streams of coins being left behind, a coin flower, and a coin block hat of sorts are just a few of these new techniques Mario can acquire, and you can see them all in the new trailer below.

After seeing Ubisoft demo the new Rayman Legends for the Wii U, we were pretty sold from what was shown. Using Murphy on the Gamepad while Rayman and co. performed the heavy lifting seemed to flow smoothly, and if that sneak peak wasn’t enough, Ubisoft have released a new trailer for Legends, displaying some of the many levels and puzzles players will encounter.

Expect to see those stunning environments, a bit of classic puzzle platforming, and Murphy buzzing around as he clears a path for our heroes. Yes, this will be a fantastic launch title for the Wii U, and you can check out the clip below at your own merriment. Not long now, we hope.

Silent Hill: Book of Memories New Release Date and Screenshots

Silent Hill: Book of Memories has been a roller coaster of delays and set backs.  What was meant to release in the same month as Silent Hill Downpour and Silent Hill HD Collection has now been officially announced as releasing October 2012.  The news comes straight from Konami at E3 2012 along with some new screenshots of the game.

Coming exclusively to the PS Vita, Silent Hill: Book of Memories is a different kind of Silent Hill game featuring brand new to any Silent Hill game RPG elements and multiplayer.  The general premise being that you receive a book containing all of your memories, which can actually be altered to change the past.  But, as with anything featuring changing the past it’s not all rainbows and family bonding, as players will have to work together through multiplayer to solve puzzles, defeat monsters, and advance through the nightmares of the book.

Castlevania has had some big success lately with Lords of Shadow and the upcoming Lords of Shadow 2, but to better intervene the two titles Konami announced at E3 2012 that the Nintendo 3DS would be getting the exclusive title Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate this fall.  The conference has a live hands-on demo, but at least those at home can check out the trailer for it down below.

Mirror of Fate takes place 25 years after the first Lords of Shadow and features Trevor Belmont seeking to avenge his mother’s death, who was killed by her husband, his father.  But even more than just Trevor, the game will feature other characters with different abilities and skills across multiple time periods as the story unfolds.  Multiple characters is an interesting direction to take the series with this title, so we’ll see if it helps or hinders Castlevania’s storytelling and exploration.

E3 2012 saw Konami make some big announcements into the new additions they are making for Pro Evolution Soccer 2013.  The game itself is now built around three main cores PES FullControl, Player ID, and Pro-Active AI, which all add something new and interesting to the PES mix.  With these additions Konami is allowing players to fully utilize the ball with multiple, different styles, including recreating how 50 of the world’s soccer stars move themselves and the ball.

Additionally, other modes of the game have received more features such as hiring special coaches to work on team weaknesses or online mode dividing the world into 240 cities for community play.  Overall, Konami seems to be working pretty hard to bring a lot more depth to this next PES, definitely going the extra mile getting in-game athletes to act like themselves, so we’ll see how this goes for them.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 is set for release fall 2012, on PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PSP, Nintendo 3DS, and Wii.  Check out the E3 Trailer below.

Inspired by games like Space Invaders, Tetris and Bubble Bobble, recent Masters of Digital Media graduate from the Center for Digital Media in Vancouver, Steve Pastro set out to make a game similar to those from his youth. This time he sought to add flair and mental challenge. Developed entirely by Steve and published by Ayopa games, Light Byte is a game that will test your mind and reflexes.

Light Byte is a classic arcade-puzzle game with memory recall and colour matching all brought together. Coloured blocks descend from the top of the screen and you will need to clear them by matching colours.

The game features:

  • ▪ Simple tap-to-shoot controls: Shoot the blocks as they descend; chain together blocks of the same color to clear them.
  • ▪ Memory gameplay: Blocks fade quickly so you’ll need to remember their colors!
  • ▪ Frenzy mode: Chain together 8 blocks of the same color to enter Frenzy mode and score even more points.
  • ▪ Five colors: Three starting colors – red, blue, yellow – with green and purple blocks to unlock as you play.
  • ▪ Upgradeable power ups: Use powerups (one for each color) to help you stay alive. Each can be upgraded to a super version if you advance far enough in the game.
  • ▪ Multiple game modes, including Endless Mode, Full Byte Mode, and three versions of Time Attack. Earn them for free as you play the game, or unlock them immediately as in-app purchases.
  • ▪ Endless game mode: In this mode, you start with 3 colors but advance through the levels to unlock new colors (up to 5) as the descending blocks get progressively faster.
  • ▪ Full Byte game mode: Endless mode with all 5 colors available from the beginning.
  • ▪ Time Attack Normal, Challenge, and Extreme: Score as many points as you can in 60-seconds.
  • ▪ Game Center leaderboards and achievements: Compete against friends and yourself

Light Byte is a universal App for iOS devices, and once released on June 14 will cost you a mere $0.99.

One of the world most leading video game peripheral makers, Razer, have announced some details for their upcoming Taipan mouse at this year Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3). The Taipan mouse is a peripheral designed for ambidextrous gamers, which means that it can be used accurately in both the left or right hands.

This is a kind of mouse that many left-handed gamers will find useful, as well as those that would prefer to be doing other things with their right hand while surfing the web or playing some kinds of games. One of the best features of this mouse though, is that it utilises both Laser and Optical tracking, making it much more precise and accurate. It also has liftoff detection for those times where you’re frantically throwing your mouse around.

Here is an interesting quote from Razer –

“We have designed the Razer Taipan with the goal of offering pro gamers the best weapon to achieve victory in the competitive world of e-Sports,” said Robert ‘RazerGuy’ Krakoff, president of Razer USA.  “The Razer Taipan is engineered to deliver an astounding 8200 dpi 4G Dual Sensor System to provide gamers with the fastest mouse tracking, enhanced ambidextrous ergonomics and Razer Synapse 2.0 support. Anything is possible with the Razer Taipan.”

Gamers will be interested in knowing that the mouse is going to be available as early as July and will retail for $79.99US. Be sure to check out the Razer Product site for more info.
