Nintendo are pulling out their proud parent card for the 3DS, and have now released two new commercials displaying the newly slashed price and the current and upcoming first party line-up that new users can expect. Yes, it seems that a whole new marketing campaign is being launched for the handheld, which is a good thing considering all of the massive changes as of late.
You can check out both new trailers below, but don’t expect a whole lot of new footage, as these clips mainly show off reviews for the system as well as clips from Star Fox 64 3D, Super Mario 3D Land, and Mario Kart 7.

Panty shots, bouncing bosoms and paper clothing will make their return in the upcoming Ikkitousen OVA series. The new OVA is to be titled Ikkitousen Shuugaku Toushi Keppuuroku and will feature all the fan-service you’d expect from a Ikkitousen anime.
Along side the announcement of the OVA which will make it’s debut this Fall 2011 anime season, was a very NSFW trailer.
If you were worried that the Ikkitousen OVA may not be able to keep up with it’s standard of extreme fan-service that it has set, give the trailer a quick playthrough. Needless to say, there is more animated flesh on show then the hentai section of your local Gametraders store.

And Lightning Strikes twice. After having their main website hacked back in June, Bethesda have now sent out a new email to all forum users, informing of a security breach. No guilty parties were mentioned this time around, and as of now it doesn’t seem that many out there are confessing either.
The full email from Bethesda reads:
Dear Bethesda Forum User,
We have identified a potential breach of our forum user database that occurred Friday morning, Aug 12. We have reset your forum password as a precaution, in the event that any encrypted forum user passwords were compromised.
When you next try to login to the forums, your old password will not work. Click the “I’ve forgotten my password link” underneath the login boxes, and follow the steps to setup a new password for your account.
We recommend you do not use your old password or a password you have used for other sites. Further, if your old forum password was used for any other online purposes, we recommend changing the password on those accounts as well.

As bad as this sounds, it is at least comforting to know that Bethesda seem to be on top of things and have already reset the entire community’s passwords. I do hope that this is just a precautionary measure though and no true damage was done, as the last thing that we need is yet another hacking spree in the gaming industry.
If one man in the videogame industry knows how to tease gamers, it’s Hideo Kojima. Recently, Kojima posted the image you see above on his twitter stream, with this message concerning the release of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.
“MGS HD series. These are the trophy(result) icons for MGS2 and MGS3!”
So as the tweet states, this is in fact the first glimpse into the trophies that Metal Gear Solid HD Collection will offer. I would imagine that these icons would also be used for the Xbox 360 achievements for the collection as well, but Kojima didn’t quite elaborate on that. For all of you MGS vetrans out there, can you tell what feats any of these images might pertain to in either game?
Guilty Crown is set to make it’s debut in this upcoming Fall 2011 anime season. Ahead of it’s premiere it has been announced that a PC game adaptation of the series is already in the works.

Red Dead Redemption has had quite a few DLC packs released since it came out. At least one more piece of DLC is also scheduled to come out soon. According to a BBFC listing (since pulled down), Rockstar is planning to re-release the game. A “Game of the Year” edition is listed for September 16. So far, only the Undead Nightmare pack is confirmed to be a part of the GOTY game, but hopefully every piece of the downloadable will be included. With any luck, Legends and Killers, Liars and Cheats, and Hunting and Trading will all be included into a $40 package like many other GOTY editions that have been released.
Funimation over this past year has been releasing their remastered version of anime classic Yu Yu Hakusho onto the Blu-Ray format. They are set to continue that trend with Yu Yu Hakusho Season 3 Collection for Blu-Ray, which is to be released on the 27th of September, 2011.
