NBA Jam: On Fire Edition Launches with a new trailer….

BOOMSHAKALAKA! EA are launching NBA Jam: On Fire Edition this week and along with this digital re-release comes a new trailer….FROM DOWNTOWN!

In this clip, we get a look at all that players can expect to see in this digital version, which honestly looks to be exactly the same amount of content as the disc-based release that came out last year.

Presidents and political figures, stickmen, mascots, tag-mode…yep, it’s all there. Now if you already purchased NBA Jam a year ago for the full retail price, you might be a tad bitter knowing that this XBLA and PSN release will be just $14.99 (or 1200 points). Then again, if you are like myself and held out, this is one of the best values of the year so you now need to prep those points card for Wednesday (or tomorrow for you PSN users) as NBA Jam: On Fire Edition is set to tear up the courts all over again.

As all 3DS owners should now be aware of, there is a Pokedex application for players to enjoy at their leisure. While not all that exctiting in itself, the Pokedex application did expand the capabilities of the 3DS and create an evnironment in which players could collect different Pokemon and trade them with their friends over QR code or Infra-red communications.

The update to the program, can be applied by clicking on the gear icon on the top right and scrolling to the bottom and hitting the update button. This update includes many new features, such as –

The update includes several new buttons that you can use when inside various Pokédex 3D functions. When you’re checking out a Pokémon’s action in its Pokédex entry, you can hit the Pause button to stop the Pokémon mid-motion. You can also use the Stopwatch button to freeze a Pokémon in place in the AR Viewer and the Note button to hear a Pokémon’s cry!

There’s also a new AR Settings menu you can access inside the AR Viewer. With Scale Settings, you can switch between two modes: Model Mode, which lets you scale a Pokémon to make it easier to see, and Actual Mode, which
lets you see how Pokémon look relative to each other. Background Settings let you choose a photo from an SD Card to use as the background of the AR Viewer for use with Pokémon AR Markers. Select any photo you want, and you’ll see a Pokémon on top of it!

So be sure to get your Pokedex application updated at once.

Europe and PAL Gets UC3 Multiplayer Access

In North America, you get the chance to play Uncharted 3 multiplayer by heading to a local Subway and buying a drink. For Europe and PAL territories, there is a simpler, more expensive approach. If you are a Playstation Plus subscriber on October 5, then you get access to the multiplayer content. Cue the celebrations. If not, then you can do one of two things: sign up to Playstation Plus or wait out.

The multiplayer will be open to all of Europe who have the Playstation Network and the following PAL territories: South Africa, The Middle East, Australia and New Zealand. This is a whole month of experiencing multiplayer gameplay since the game doesn’t hit shelves until November 2 (Europe) and November 3 (AU/NZ). Of course, being close to the final retain version, all of the progress you make will carry over to the retail version.

So, I said that you can wait. Why, though? Because the fellows over at the European Playstation Blog has revealed that there may be chances for non-PS+ subscribers to sneak into the multiplayer experience. Just watch out for details at the blog and their community forums.

Oh, Japan! is a weekly feature in which I chronicle the wierd, wacky and just plain crazy goings on in Japan. Because we all know, Japan is prone to doing things that make us Westerners say “Oh, Japan!”.

Now we all know anime is not the usual saturday morning cartoons that we are subjected to in the western world. However, some anime just go above and beyond all logical sense, Dokuro-chan, is one of those series. Check out the short clip from Dokuro-chan below and enjoy the chaos. What more can I say besides, Oh, Japan!

Welcome to the third installment of the Capsule Theater of Vision. I apologise for the hiatus, as I was on holiday/ unable to access the internet. However I am now back, and this marks the return of the featured column.

In this installment we watch what is a recreation of the famous Leeroy Jenkins raid video based within World of Warcraft, as adapted by the cast of the film Year One. I found it to be hilarious, and they cast have done an amazing job in their adaptation of the raid.

I hope everyone enjoys the video. Be sure to leave us a comment below, or on the shoutbox to the side.

New Name For Ni No Kuni in North America

At a Sony Computer Entertainment Asia conference, held during the Tokyo Game Show period, Level-5 president Akihiro Hino announced that Ni No Kuni: Queen of the Holy White Ash would travel across the seas and head to English territories in early 2012. This was met with a positive fanfare from fans of RPGs, Level-5 and Studio Ghibli. Now, it seems that the English release will be re-titled.

A new trademark has been filed by Level-5 in the United States of America: Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Which. It links closely to the original name. To be honest, it looks like a re-wording of the original title. But there was no sight of the DS version, entitled The Jet Black Wizard. However, Level-5 has made no announcement on the DS version and I doubt that will leave Japan.

Expect more Ni No Kuni: Queen of the Holy White Ash news at Level-5 World, which will be conducted on the weekend on October 15 and 16.
