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.

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?

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Trailer Revealed by Konami

We knew it was coming due to the recent issue of Nintendo Power, but now Lords of Shadow 2 is set in stone. During their pre-E3 conference, Konami revealed the first official trailer for the sequel, which looks to star Gabriel Belmont, much like it’s predecessor. This clip is purely cinematic for the most part, and shows our hero taking on a large golem, as well as sucking the life out of a human in order to battle what looked to be a smokey dragon. At the end, we also see a mysterious figure that could very well be another member of the Belmont family.

It’s a pretty awesome debut, and definitely a title that will be one to watch as the year moves along. Lords of Shadow 2 will also only be for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, despite the recent rumors of a Wii U appearance. Of course this news could change down the line, so stay tuned and watch the beautiful trailer down below, courtesy of Gametrailers.
