Konami’s Pre-E3 Show Report began with an interesting insight into a huge step for the company: a brand new studio based in San Francisco.

The segment began with John S. Coligan, the director of operations for social and social mobile portfolio at Konami, as he revealed they decided to set up a studio in the Bay so they could work closer with Google, Facebook, Apple and other First-Party partners. After briefly mentioning social games they’ve been working on such as Facebook games Twilight Carnival, Frogger Pinball which is also on iOS and Frogger Classic on Google Chrome. Next up Coligan revealed a new title in the works: Frogger Frenzy.

Before bringing the segement to a close, Coligan announced a major move for the company: they have sealed a deal with Zynga to publish Konami social titles across the network of over 240 million active users. Apparently a bunch more exciting things are in the works too, but Konami is keeping that on the down low for now.

If you’ll remember, I quite enjoyed my time with KOTOMON, although I had some nagging issues with it. However, MONSTARS INC has released an update to KOTOMON that improves the entire game a lot.  In the iTunes game menu, you will find the following patch notes provided by the developers, which explain what was fixed in the game:

  • Our monsters learned that lava is dangerous and now they will not fall into the lava themselves so easily.
  • You can now drop off your monsters by also removing your finger and tapping and holding the screen for a second.
  • There is now a circle effect at the Main Camp screen which indicates the area of which monsters to take to battle.
  • Drago became a bit courageous! He now does not faint anymore when out of gas.

The developers also promise that, “There are still other things we are working on our update and we hope to enhance the experience as we go along.”

Check out the trailer below to get a taste of what you are missing if you haven’t played KOTOMON yet!

From the developers of Scribblenauts comes Hybrid, an FPS set in the future with jetpacks.  Although that hardly sounds original, it appears that 5th Cell will actually be able to make Hybrid stand out in the shooter genre.  Some features of the game include:

  • Massive Online World War
  • Intense 3v3 Air and Ground Combat
  • 60FPS @ 720p
  • 10 Different Maps & Modes
  • Tons of Weapon and Abilities

Hybrid will be releasing on XBLA.

The story of Hybrid is:

“In 2032 a newly built Hadron Supercollider imploded, obliterating Australia. The world was sent into turmoil as an alternate reality collided with our own and from it emerged a species known as the Variant. Chaos ensued and world war broke out between the Variants and a group of rebel humans known as the Paladins.”

During Konami’s pre-E3 press conference they showed off a few snippets of the newly created opening animation for the Zone of the Enders HD Collection however at that time they stated that the full video would be viewable on their website.

Unfortunately the video wasn’t made immediately available, but Konami has just now uploaded the opening animation in its entirety in the below video. The company behind the animation, Sunrise, has delivered quite an outstanding performance and the animation is accompanied by a rather nice piece of music, which fans may remember as the opening song to Zone of Enders 2, which is called Beyond the Bounds. What do you think about this anime styled opening for this beloved franchise?

Rayman, Metal Slug 3, and 99 Seconds Arrive on Nintendo Download

As promised, this week’s big arrival on the eShop is none other than Rayman. This Game Boy Color port has arrived for the 3DS’ Virtual Console, and lets players strap on the gloves of Rayman as he sets out on his first Nintendo handheld journey. As expected, the price on this classic is $4.99.

Next up is a sequel for a game many of you probably still need to check out. 99Seconds is the successor to EnjoyUp’s 99Bullets, but uses a mechanic based around time control to fight enemies, rather than the bullets. This title is also on the cheap for the DSiWare, as it’s only $1.99. Also on the same service is Kakuro by Nikoli, which is a interesting little puzzler where deduction is key if you want to solve the 50 problems within. Much like Rayman, this romp is also $4.99.

On the Wii front, Metal Slug 3 is now available for 900 Nintendo points, and if you’re craving a demo, Order-Up! for the 3DS has a nice little appetizer in store for anyone who wants to get a first look at the game that is slated to hit the eShop on June 21st.

So there you have it. What’s on the menu for your Nintendo platforms this week?

You know how you make people excited for a video game release? You make trailers like the one seen below.

Check it out in the trailer below and be sure to pick it up when it is released on October 9th on the PC, PS3 and 360.
