Yeah, you heard that right. The Wii has gotten not one, but two worthy titles this week via Nintendo Download. The first up is the most exciting, with Monster World IV seeing a long awaited translation and release on the Virtual Console. For those curious of what Monster World IV is about, this title puts players in the role of Asha, who sets out on a journey with a monster and a genie to save as well as defeat some Elemental Spirits. This import/translation won’t set back anyone’s wallet by much either, as all can download the Genesis gem for just 900 points.

On the subject of the Wii, monsters, and Sega in general, you also should consider snagging up a game from the same franchise titled Wonder Boy in Monster Land. Yeah, it’s a lot easier to find in the states due to the prior availability on multiple platforms, but for 900 points as well, you can’t go wrong with adding yet another classic to your console.

The 3DS eShop is also seeing a little bit of life this week in the form of Sudoku by Nikoli. Priced at $4.99, players can expect to see 50 puzzles crafted by the genius who created the game and dawned the name. Finally, the DSiWare has also been shown some lovin with Paul’s Shooting Adventure 2, which takes players back to the days of side scrolling shooters as they take on an evil insect race for $1.99.

With the release of Max Payne 3 next week it only makes sense that Rockstar Games choose to release a dramatic and cinematic launch trailer for the game a week ahead of time. This rather artistic trailer fits rather well with the story of Max Payne’s life so far.

You see, the tragedies that stole his loved ones many years ago still haunt Max Payne and because of this, he has lost nearly everything. In an effort to get back on his feet and get off of the pain killers Max travels to São Paulo, Brazil to take care of a family of the wealthy real estate mogul Rodrigo Branco. However when things go south Max finds himself on the streets of Brazil alone and searching for answers. It will be up to you to guide Max Payne on this journey of possible redemption when the game is released next week on May 15th.

All of Lollipop Chainsaw’s unlockable alternate costumes revealed

Some of you may remember a few months ago when it was revealed, much to everyone’s joy, that all of Juliet’s alternate costumes would be available worldwide when Lollipop Chainsaw is released in about a month. At the time however no one knew whether these outfits would simply be included in the game free of charge or would be placed as pre-order bonuses, forcing players to only have one of her many outfits.

Thankfully only a couple of outfits are hidden away, such as the Goth Girl, Foxy Funk, Rockabilly and Evil Dead costumes as pre-order bonuses while every other costume, including anime related ones and risque ones are avaiable for unlocking in the game. The list, revealed today by Warner Brothers, can be seen below with rather humorous descriptions for each.

  • Sexy American Casual – This sexy get-up leaves little to the imagination
  • American Cheerleader Costume – Show ‘em how much you love freedom in this cheer outfit

  • Rosalind’s Costume – Rosalind’s slickest outfit on-lend to Juliet – Dry clean only

  • Mom’s Costume – Sexy MILF clothes straight from Mom’s closet
  • Japanese Maid Costume – Cleaning up a zombie mess has never been more appropriate

Over three dozen clothing items will be included, catering for male, female and young Sims. Joining the brand’s signature denim collection will be household items such as  sofa, coffee tables and a bed, forming a collection of over a dozen objects. Some of these items are also available in the real world, so you and your favourite virtual people can wear the same designer duds.

No release date has been confirmed, but expect to see the pack hit stores and Origin within a few months time.

It was curious that the Nintendo DSi XL still cost the same price as the Nintendo 3DS after the 3DS received its price drop but that curious pricing structure has changed as Nintendo has revealed a set of new prices for their older handhelds. Starting on May 20th the basic DSi will sell for only $100 while the DSi XL will go for $130.

Both of these handhelds will still contain the Flipnote Studio and the XL version will still come with the pre-installed versions of the two Brain Age games. Ironically, this price drop on these older handhelds coincides with the release of the Midnight Purple 3DS on the same day.

First gameplay trailer for Assassin’s Creed 3 unlocked

We’ve seen a few screenshots but never before have we seen any gameplay footage of Assassin’s Creed 3 minus a small teaser last week. However today the community has unlocked the first gameplay trailer for the game which can be seen below.

In the trailer we see Connor, also known as Ratohnhaké:ton, take out many Redcoats in brutal fashion including a number of new assassination animations and tricks. It even looks like you may be fighting against some wild animals as well, or at least a bear if nothing else. Also those who play close attention can catch the chain-blade in use as Connor strings up a Redcoat then proceeds to kill everyone else in the vicinity.

It seems that while the Japanese market for the PlayStation Vita is absolutely terrible, as it is nearly always outperformed by even the PSP, the system has done decently in the rest of the world. In fact, Sony’s Kaz Hairai believes that the handhelds had a good launch and is looking to sell quite a lot more systems by the end of the year.

Speaking with Eurogamer he went on to say that “a game platform, like Vita – the software is the key to success, how good the software is. We have to reinforce the software area in order to improve the business, that is the basic line.” Unfortunately at the moment, Sony has yet to reveal any major games for the handheld besides what was already known. Perhaps if they choose to release the above Hatsune Miku Vita worldwide instead of just Japan then those sales may get a decent boost.
