Pikmin 3 and New Mario to be shown at E3 2012


Nintendo have finally confirmed what many of their more vocal fans have desperately speculated in hope that saying something in mass unison would make it a reality. Low and behold that mass unison of salivation and behaviour likened to that of a common beggar, Nintendo have revealed that there will in fact be a third Pikmin game for the Wii U and they will show it off at E3 2012.

That’s not all though, Nintendo will also be presenting a new Mario game for the Wii U, which is supposedly somehow linked to the New Super Mario Bros. Mii ‘thing’ that you seen at last years E3. So there is that as well, if you are interested in it.

Regardless of the long anticipated announcement of Pikmin 3, fans continue to salivate and desperately speculate, now with their speculations aimed towards both games being launch titles. Who knows? Do you know? Speculate below in the comments section.

Oceanic players of Star Wars The Old Republic will be pleased to know that they are now eligible to submit an application to have their characters transferred to the newly released Oceanic servers across from the US servers. The applications began earlier today and are open until the 24th of April at 2:01PM EST. After that time, players may not submit or edit their applications.

There is also a massive list of disclaimers which we have reproduced below for your perusal –

If you choose to move your character to a new Asia Pacific server, please be aware of the following:

  • If your character name is already taken on the Asia Pacific server, your character will be transferred, but you will be prompted to choose a new name for the character when you log into the new server.
  • You cannot exceed 8 characters (including transferred and non- transferred characters) on any given destination server.
  • If you have unlocked a Legacy name on the Asia Pacific server, any characters transferred to that server will use the Asia Pacific server’s Legacy name.
  • If you have not unlocked a Legacy name on the Asia Pacific server and the transferred character is eligible for a Legacy unlock by completing Chapter One of their class stories, you will be prompted to choose a Legacy name when you log into the new Asia Pacific server.
  • The character will no longer be a part of its guild – Guilds and guild membership will not be transferred to your new server. You will need to create or join a new guild on your new server.
  • Your Friends and Ignore lists will be reset – These lists are server specific, so you will need to repopulate your lists with players from your new server.
  • The Asia Pacific server of your character transfer request does not need to match the server type of your original server.

Before you transfer your character, it is important to ensure the following:

  • The character has no items listed on the Galactic Trade Network (auction house) – active Galactic Trade Network listings will not be transferred to your new server.
  • The character has no items or credits in their mailbox – In-game mail will not be transferred to your new server. Make sure you have removed everything in your mailbox before initiating the transfer. Otherwise, the contents will be lost.

New AU/NZ Anime Distributor ‘Hanabee’ Launches

Over the past weekend news broke of the founding of a new anime distribution company within Australia and New Zealand. That new company formed at this past weekend’s Supanova Melbourne. The company is founded by former CEO of Siren Visual Eric Cherry.

This new anime distribution company is titled Hanabee. At this point in time the company holds the license for two non-anime series, The Guild and Red vs. Blue (which Cherry himself has brought over from Siren Visual). However Cherry has gone on to state that Hanabee will indeed be licensing and distributing anime titles, “Definitely! After being involved in licensing some really interesting stuff while at Siren including Dennou Coil, Kaiba and The Tatami Galaxy it became obvious that there’s a really rewarding challenge in trying to make the anime market down under a more interesting one. I like some of the innovative ways companies like NIS America and Aniplex of America are navigating through the USA market, and Hanabee aims to expand on that down here. ”

Since the companies first appearance at Supanova Melbourne this past weekend, Hanabee has opened both it’s official website and facebook page. They are both however currently scarce in terms of details on the companies future. Cherry did however confirm that title announcements are forthcoming, so definitely keep an eye on those two pages.

It is without a doubt a pleasure to see more companies forming with the intent of bringing anime down under and with the founding of Hanabee, the landscape of the Australian anime industry has been changed dramatically.

What do you think of the emergence of this new anime company? Let us know in the comments section below.

Red vs Blue Remember Halo 4 Release Date

Halo 4’s announcement at E3 last year was no surprise. Also unsurprising is the release date of November 6, 2012, alongside the yearly iterations of the Call of Duty and Assassin’s Creed franchises. This year’s crazy pre-Christmas period will be especially crazy, methinks.

Anyway, Rooster Teeth and Microsoft today announced the release date of the so-called-fourth-but-really-the-seventh entry into the Halo series via a new Red vs Blue short. Even if you don’t care about Halo, the video itself is entertaining enough to warrant a watch. If only all announcements could be this much fun.

Just remember: “Forget about remembering, and focus on not forgetting.”

New Worms Revolution Art

The Worms Facebook page has been a hive of activity lately. All this week, new images of the upcoming game, Worms: Revolution, have been posted, and we gotta say, it’s looking damn pretty.

We already know the new game will feature classic 2D Worms gameplay with 3D-rendered graphics and improved physics, and these images show off how that 3D works. So far, we’ve had looks at the Garden and Beach settings, with images from the Farm and Sewer themes coming later this week.

The game looks nice, but unless there are some gameplay changes, calling it a “Revolution” feels like a bit of a stretch. Perhaps Worms: Tarted Up is a more appropriate title. Either way, I’m still keen.
