Nintendo Direct is done in Japan for another quarter. However, the announcements will still continue as Nintendo of Europe will host their own Nintendo Direct conferences to supplement the sleuth of announcements made during Japan’s Nintendo Direct conference. The Nintendo Direct conference divulges into the latest games that will be released for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo 3DS. Games featured include both Nintendo developed and third party games.

Nintendo of Europe will be going first at 1pm Central European Time (9pm AEST for those on the east side of Australia). The content of the announcements are in fact a mystery for the time being. With that said, it will be no surprise if it does follow the content in Japan’s Nintendo Direct conference, confirming a release for Europe and PAL territories. To watch Nintendo of Europe’s Nintendo Direct conference, just click here.

For those in Australia and New Zealand, you can go to Nintendo of Australia’s website after the broadcast to find local information of all the games mentioned in Nintendo Direct.

Give Your Friends a Makeover with Role Play on iOS

Photo manipulation apps are all the rage, from the more professional ways of Instagram, to turning yourself and your friends into zombies with ZombieBooth. Role Play is another photo manipulation app, letting you apply digital makeup and costumes to your chosen photo, with the ability to turn whoever you wish into a pirate or a princess at a few touches to our screen.

You simply have to pick, or take, a photo and then position it correctly to fit the outline on the screen. There are a few makeover options, which are available as in-app purchases, including Cleopatra, Marie Antoinette, and Geisha. Once you have made over a photo you can make it over again and again, without having to reposition it. Plus, when you’re done you can share it on Twitter and Facebook, and isn’t that why it’s so fun?

Role Play is available NOW for FREE on iPhone, iTouch and iPad – Grab it HERE

Razer Hydra Adds Motion Play To FlatOut 3 and Deep Black: Reloaded

Razer has been closely working with Strategy First Inc. to incorporate motion controls into their games. The results of this team-up have lead to the games FlatOut 3: Chaos and Destruction and Deep Black: Reloaded to have implemented working motion controls thanks to the Razer Hydra controller.

In FlatOut 3, players will be controlling their vehicles with the most intentional hand movements thanks to the accuracy of the Hydras motion sensing technologies. By tilting their wrists, players will be able to use the controller much like a steering wheel. The motion controls in Deep Black are much more sensitive and are supposed to respond to your most instinctive hand movements to keep you clear of any danger.

On the controller, Razer and Strategy first had this to say –

“With full integration of the Razer Hydra’s best-in-class motion sensing technology, gamers will be experiencing the explosive action these two games have to offer with much more immersion,” said Robert ‘RazerGuy’ Krakoff, President, Razer USA.

 

“By fully integrating motion sensing support for these two games, gamers will be able to experience these games in a new and exciting manner,” said Emanuel Wall, Director, Strategy First Inc.

So be sure to check out the controller and the games by checking these two videos embedded below.

EA Gets Their Shoes Off for a Day

This week in EA Mobile news we have something with a bit more of a philanthropic twist than the usual game updates and upcoming releases. TOMS, a shoes company with a generous heart, has a ‘One Day Without Shoes’ annual event designed to raise awareness about the millions of children who live without shoes – which leads to injury and disease, as well as not being allowed to go to school. It’s like the footwear version of the Live Below the Line campaign.

This year EA supported the cause by giving Sims Freeplay players the chance to remove their Sim’s virtual footwear within the game and spread awareness. Over 750,000 players participated in the 24 hour time period to shuck off the Sim shoes, which is a truly amazing number. EA employees also joined in on the event in real time, having shoeless meetings and campus events.

For more information on the event and the company behind it, visit their website HERE. Check out the Australian One Day Without Shoes video below!

The Sims Freeplay is an absolutely FREE app, available on iTouch, iPhone and iPad – Grab it HERE

It seems that Capcom is planning a big game announcement of some sort next week in Famitsu as Famitsu.com’s preview of next week’s issue states that it will not only contain coverage for Resident Evil’s 15th anniversary and interviews with developers, but also a new announcement from Capcom.

Currently there are no hints as to what the announcement may be besides that it is an “unexpected” new title from Capcom. The next issue of Famitsu is set for release on April 26th but information will likely be leaked on April 25th. Could this be a brand new Darkstalkers game? Something for the Vita? Or a brand new IP? We shall see.

One new feature in Atelier Meruru, which is briefly shown below, is the ability to develop new areas in the kingdom.
