With all of the preparations being made, Majesco are the latest to step out and announce exactly what they will be bringing to this year’s E3. From the recently announced Hulk Hogan’s Main Event for the Xbox 360 Kinect to a first look at the upcoming Zumba Fitness 2 and a handful of other titles, Majesco have quite a lot to keep an eye on this year.

The full line-up includes:

  • Hulk Hogan’s Main Event (Kinect for Xbox 360): Putting Kapow! in your Kinect!  Get hands on with the first Kinect performance-based wrestling game and train with the one and only Hulk!
  • BloodRayne Betrayal (XBLA): From the award-winning studio, WayForward, don’t miss your first look at one of the most highly anticipated Action-Adventure titles of the summer!
  • Take Shape (Kinect for Xbox 360): Ultimate family game! Twist, stretch and shrink your body into hundreds of shapes, animals and symbols.  Try it solo or team up for multiplayer fun.
  • Mind ‘n Motion (Kinect for Xbox 360): From juggling to dodging shapes, can you keep your entire body moving as fast as your brain can trigger your next move?  Great family game!
  • Zumba Fitness 2 (Wii): Get the first glimpse of the sequel to the best selling Zumba Fitness dance game in an exhilarating sneak peek trailer!
  • Cooking Mama 4 (3DS): Get your hands on the next adventure in the best-selling Mama franchise.  New recipes, kitchen activities, dish combinations and more!
  • Camping Mama (DS):  Expand your skills in the wild island outdoor experience with Mama. 100 different stylus based games that include a broad range of challenges!
  • The Hidden (3DS): Use 3DS camera capabilities to search, capture and destroy supernatural entities as a paranormal investigator.   Watch out for the solid phantoms armed with claws!
  • Nano Assault (3DS):  Save humanity in this fast-paced shooter! Navigate a microscopic Nanite ship, fight off infections and maneuver through alien cell clusters to destroy the virus’ core.
  • Pet Zombies (3DS) – Create, customize, play with and torment your very own zombie pets!
  • Face Racers Photo Finish (3DS): Take photos with your 3DS camera and place them on the face of your custom 3D racer!  An outrageous arcade racing game – it will be a photo finish!

Quite a line-up indeed. I personally am going to be keeping an eye out for The Hidden and Bloodrayne Betrayal as those have been two titles I have been looking forward to since they were announced a few months back. You should also note that many titles on the list have not even received an official trailer as of yet so this will be a week full of first time reveals for Majesco. So, which game are you anticipating from this impressive line-up?

Natsume isn’t going to be pulling any punches this year for E3. If you have a 3DS they are going to be wanting your full attention and your money in the coming months. Natsume announced their E3 floor line-up today and they will be showing off four different titles during each day of E3.

These titles are Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny for the PlayStation 3 and Wii, Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns for the Nintendo 3DS and DS, Gabrielle’s Ghostly Groove for the Nintendo 3DS, and Reel Fishing Paradise 3D for the Nintendo 3DS. Yes, that means that they will be showing off three new 3DS games for the first time at the event, as well as showing off the first Rune Factory title to grace the PlayStation 3.

Natsume’s President and CEO Hiro Maekawa knows what their fans want and had this to say about the games they will be showing off: “We have a lineup of top-notch titles this year! We’ve got dancing, fishing, and
exciting new entries in the Rune Factory and Harvest Moon series. No matter your age or tastes, we have a game for you!” Not entirely sure how the dancing title will work out on the 3DS but we’ll find out next week!

Konami has finally made it official. Today they released information regarding Otomedius Excellent’s release date and the special edition that you can purchase as well as the standard edition. We’ve seen information leaks in the past from retailers, but at least now we know for sure that the title will be released in North America on July 19th.

Players will be given two different options if they are looking to pick up Konami’s shmup title. They can either purchase the normal version for $29.99 or buy the collector’s edition which features the game itself, a soundtrack CD, art book and a double sided pillowcase featuring the games girls. Unfortunately at this time Konami has not shown off what the pillowcase will look like but they have revealed the box art for the title. Thankfully they decided to stick true to the game’s source material and retain the Anime-like girls appearing on the boxart. Also it mentions the fact that the game has influences from Gradius.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution’s E3 trailer released long before E3

E3 may start next week but that doesn’t mean that companies can’t release E3 information ahead of time. Such is the case with Square Enix’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Today they have revealed the E3 trailer for the title, which shows how Adam Jensen used to be a normal guy, and then how he becomes a super human killing machine through the power of augmentation.

The trailer shows plenty of gameplay footage including the first person shooting, cover system, execution system and more. Players can also choose to go the non lethal route by stunning enemies and knocking them unconscious. We’ll learn much more next week when Deus Ex: Human Revolution is shown off at E3, and especially more when the title releases on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC on August 23rd and 25th for North America and Europe respectively.

PlayStation’s E3 website reinforces rumors of PS Vita

It seems like the name PS Vita has a lot more backing behind it than we thought. At first there was just rumors of the new name from a flyer that a few people who would be attending E3 received. Now it appears that that rumor may be less of a rumor, and more like an information leak.

Destructoid has received a few tips that Sony’s official E3 website has a few secrets hidden within it. Not the website itself of course, but within the HTML source code. A quick search through the source code for the page pulls up the name PS Vita a couple of times. Of course Sony isn’t saying anything at the moment, because if you were waiting to pull a big announcement out of your hat, then why admit to what that announcement is beforehand?
