Ubisoft announce ‘Eeerz’ Invasion Tour, commences in London


Created by Ubisoft, the Rabbids have been transformed into amazing Vinyl Figures known simply as ‘Eeerz’ and there’s an invasion coming. Ubisoft have teamed up with artists from around the world to bring a European Custom Tour to celebrate the launch of the 28cm DIY Eeerz series.


They’re now offering everyone the chance to visit Forbidden Planet in London on the 25th of November from 5pm until late, to see with your own eyes some crazy custom Eeerz on the first stop of the European Tour! If you going along, you’ll see DIY Eeerz that have been transformed into works of art by renowned artists including Pete Fowler, Lunartik, The Felt Mistress, Phil Corbett and more. You also get the chance to customise your own Eeerz in an art workshop by Lunartik and play the newly-released Raving Rabbids: Alive & Kicking for Kinect. There are prizes up for grabs.

The Eeerz Invasion Tour is open to all ages and completely free to attend. I wonder what part of Europe those crazy Rabbids will invade next.

Mario and Sonic have returned to face off in their Olympic rivalry as of yesterday in North America. To celebrate the release, Sega have now graced us with a launch trailer to show just what fans of both series can expect. As well as the standard Olympic games, this entry features over 50 party games, with the likes of shell launching, treasure hunting, and ring collecting, where players can play as several the famed characters from both franchises. Knuckles, Wario, Peach, yep…they’re all here.

I still don’t see Mario beating Sonic in…well anything aside from a high jump competition (or a pasta eating contest), but this romp is still looking pretty entertaining and you can now find it in stores everywhere for the Nintendo Wii and 3DS.

Have Some Curry In This Ni No Kuni Video

Level-5 has a brand new video for Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. Instead of showing some gameplay footage or exploring the locations, the scene below shows the young hero Oliver and a couple of his friends deciding to have some beef curry. That’s right, beef curry.

So, why is Oliver and co having beef curry? Well, the appearance of beef curry may be the result of a partnership between Level-5 and House Foods in Japan. House Foods are promoting both the game and their own curry as they release Ni No Kuni branded curry. I guess it’s a great way to give the partnership a nod within the game.

Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch will be release on November 17 (which is today in Australia, in fact) in Japan and 2012 in North America and Europe.
