Super Street Fighter IV 3DS Edition trailers and info released

Now that the huge 3DS is over Capcom has released two new videos for Super Street Fighter IV 3DS Edition which will release with the launch of the 3DS. One video features gameplay footage while the other is a simple trailer for the game, but both are great to see after the long drought of news regarding SSFIV3DS. Other than that though more information for the game itself has been revealed alongside these videos.

Super Street Fighter IV 3DS Edition will be using everything available in the 3DS regarding online multiplayer when the game launches; in what they are calling the only title to utilize the full capabilities of Nintendo’s online network at launch. StreetPass will use the Figurines that you can collect within the game to battle automatically with other Nintendo 3DS owners and you can even collect your winnings. This means that if you are in a crowded area with your 3DS then you could win countless battles without even knowing it.

The game will be sporting 35 different playable characters from the Street Fighter franchise and also utilize an easy to use Lite mode which gives players the ability to instantly map combination attacks to one button press or even a Pro mode which allows those who know the combinations to make things a bit easier for themselves.

Left 4 Dead achievements fixed and bugs patched

Valve has released an update for Left 4 Dead (the first one, mind you). This update should patch any achievement progress you might have lost when downloading any of the latest DLC, specifically ‘The Sacrifice’. The update also fixes the glitchy ‘Sacrifizzle’ achievement.

Hopefully all progress lost because you picked up ‘The Sacrifice’ will be restored; however, Valve states on its Left 4 Dead Blog that in a few cases, some achievement progress might not be possible to recover.

Below is a full list of the bugs that have been patched.

• In Versus mode Tanks will spawn in stasis until a human player takes over. Tanks in stasis are invisible and invulnerable, and won’t move or attack.
• Tank speed is no longer reduced when on fire.
• Allow players on the Infected team to manually spawn during finales.
• Added a vote option to toggle All-Talk.
• Special Infected that causes a Survivor to stumble into a “ledge hang” situation will receive 50 points.
• Bullets that first pass through an infected character before striking a Survivor are now ignored as friendly fire.
• In Versus mode car alarms will now trigger anytime a Special Infected pulls or stumbles a Survivor into an alarm car.
• Survivor Bots no longer try to melee exploding barrels out of their way.
• Fixed the Sacrifizzle achievement.

Two new videos for Test Drive Unlimited 2

Test Drive Unlimite 2 is only a few more weeks away. Atari and Eden games has some more videos to share. The game is looking quite promissing, and these two most recent videos show of the Mercedes brand within the game, as well as the large customization features.

While the videos may be on the shorter side, I’m sure they are appreciated for the readers out there who just can’t wait to get their hands on this sequel.

Just a few more weeks!

Test Drive Unlimited 2 comes out February 08, 2011 in the United States and February 11, 2011 in Europe.

3DS will have friend codes; but only one per handheld

Did you hate how on previous Nintendo systems there was that horrible friend code system? Well the 3DS will be having a friend code to connect with your different friends through Wi-Fi. But wait don’t let your hopes down quite yet because the friend code, which used to be different for every game you played, will only need one friend code for your 3DS.

Not only have the friend codes been more streamlined but the 3DS will give players the ability to see what games their friends are actually playing so that you will be able to take the guess work out of trying to find a friend to play with. Plus if you are lucky enough to have two 3DSs in your house, or have a friend with one coming by, and you both use the same Wi-Fi connection, then you will be able to play with one another without the use of a friend code at all.

Nintendo 3DS Priced and Dated for the U.S!

As I am writing this, the Nintendo 3DS event is going on with all of the developers sharing some of the awesome features as well as new titles for the handheld, but Nintendo’s twitter is surely the thing to watch at the moment if you are not at the event live, as an official price of $249.99 has just been named for the console (for those who are watching, there is a bit of a delay happening so this is why the date and price came forward first). This price is about what I exactly expected and really isn’t bad at all due to the massive amount of features (which we will get to in a bit) included.

Of course the main news here to go along with this is that the Nintendo 3DS will be hitting the states on March 27, 2011 and the 25th of March in Europe. Just a little over two months away! I know I am ready for this one and be sure to stay tuned as we will be covering even more highlights from this event.

Nintendo 3DS Preview Event – Starting Soon.

In under one hour from now (3PM CET); there will be an event. An online event. A monster online event. A preview!

A preview event for the upcoming 3DS. This is going to be epic.

We can only speculate on the titles and kind of conference being held, but that would be quite moot as seeing it would be the only way to experience the phenomenae.

But speculate we shall, we’re hoping to see some ‘The Legend of Zelda – Ocarina of Time’ footage; ‘Starfox 3DS’ which is a remake of ‘Starfox 64′(LylatWars down here in AUS); The new ‘Kid Icarus’ game; Both the Resident Evil games and hopefully some shots of the device in action!

Grab your popcorn, your beverage of choice and maybe even your DS; and sit back and enjoy the show.

The live stream can be viewed HERE

Clock to show time in CET here

*New Info! It Seems the Video is on a loop of some-kind, though we’re not sure if that will last.

*Video is Amazing!

Minor Xbox Live/Xbox.com updates this week

Today, you should be greeted by a mandatory dashboard update from Microsoft that (re) enables the ‘Boot to Disc’ option in the Xbox 360 dashboard. After receiving the update, you’ll be able to set the option to boot to the Xbox 360 dashboard as normal, or thanks to the update, straight to the game you have in the tray. These settings can be altered in System Settings on the Xbox Guide or Dashboard.

 Additionally, on Thursday January 20th the Xbox.com team have scheduled a further update that will make small tweaks to Gamercards. The changes are minor, with small design changes and the removal gamerzones from each card. Aside from that, they will contain all the same information and it is only really meant to oust the division between the online community that comes with being classed in different zones.
