Some disappointing news for gamers who planned on picking up LittleBigPlanet 2 this year. Media Molecule have announced that the highly anticipated title will be getting pushed back a few months and into January of 2011.
Here is the official statement from the Official Little Big Planet website:
23/09/2010
Important news regarding the release date of LittleBigPlanet™2
LittleBigPlanet 2 is a crazy dream, a dream to allow players to make whatever kind of game they want, but also to play though a great adventure of drama and excitement, power-ups, and cinematics. But like all of the most ambitious ideas, it can be a considerable challenge to turn these dreams in to fun games. We’ve all been working like powered-up space ninjas and we’re almost there, but because we love what we’ve made, and we love our little sack-friends, and most of all we love all our fans out there, we couldn’t let you all get together until we knew we were giving you the best experience imaginable. Which is why we’ve taken the hard decision to delay the worldwide release of LittleBigPlanet 2, originally slated for later this year to January 2011.
We know this will come as disappointing news for all you LittleBigPlanet fans, and believe us, we are disappointed too. We are a tight-knit team and we take enormous pride in our work, so to raise the bar we’ve set with the original LittleBigPlanet, a game that has been so embraced by all, we’ve agreed to allow ourselves a bit more time to deliver the experience that our great fans and community deserve. We are truly sorry, but hope you understand that we have to build the best possible game, as it is the foundation of our community.
On the upside, we are going to find a way to give more of you a taste of LBP2 prior to launch, so stay tuned.
Thanks for your continued love and support, it won’t be long – we promise.
While this is sad to hear that the sackboy creations can’t start this year it sounds like quality is the main reason for the delay and Media Molecule seem very sincere that the finished product will be even better than before. I for one would rather have a perfect game than a nearly perfect one and as dedicated as the developer is to the project and the fans of the title, it looks like this may be a bit more of good news rather than bad in the longrun and LittleBigPlanet 2 is sure to be a worthy sequel of waiting for when it launches early next year.
One of the most popular Iphone apps and Playstation Minis titles, Spot the Differences, is now slated to release on the Wiiware download service. Packed with 150 scenes, 3 levels of difficulty and 1,500 differences to find, ‘Spot the Differences’ looks to be the most complete difference game on the platform. Aimed at all audiences, it offers a journey through odd and attractive scenes on various themes: Landscapes, Pets, Playtime and Yummy.
3 single-player game modes are available: Arcade, Select Pictures and Time Attack. The game also features a Wii-exclusive multiplayer mode, where up to 4 friends or family members can compete against each other and see who finds more differences!
To me, this title looks to be perfect for any Wii owner to download and sharpen the brain and have some fun addictive gameplay at the same time while also using the new multi-player to get everyone in on the action. 150 is also a HUGE amount of content that will be sure to add to hours of intense searching for games young and old. There isn’t a solid release date as of yet but I would expect one very soon to be announced from Sanuk Games.
It wouldn’t be a true Donkey Kong Country title without Donkey Kong and Diddy for sure but a new trailer reveals one of the most memorable animals in the series that will be making his comeback in Donkey Kong Country Returns, Rambi The Rhino. Rambi was always known for assisting Donkey Kong and Diddy get through some of the toughest of areas, charging through enemies and walls, even at times discovering hidden areas. In the latest trailer from Nintendo, Rambi is featured and the first announced returning “animal buddy” that the duo will be able to ride in the game at certain areas to plow through thorns and hoards of enemies in just seconds. By the look of the trailer, he doesn’t miss a beat either. My hope now is to see Expresso the Ostrich, Winky the Frog, and all the others from the first title will be showing up soon in some new trailers.
You can check out the new trailer posted below and we will keep you updated as soon as we hear any more news on Donkey Kong Country Returns which hits the Wii in November.

The public days at Tokyo Game Show is famous for its Cos Play Characters. (Saturday & Sunday) Some of the most dedicated fans come dressed as their favourite anime and video game characters. Let me tell you it’s something you have to experience at least once in your life. The amount of time and effort that some of these fans go through is totally amazing. This year I must say was one of the best I’ve ever seen. My Personal favourite was E.Honda and Ryu from Capcom’s Street Fighter series. Initially E.Honda was walking around taking pictures of other Cos Play characters. Approaching the big SUMO, I asked him to pose for a photo, he agreed and proceeded to take off his robe, at that time Ryu had made his way through the crowd and I asked him to pose with E.Honda. What happened next was a pure brilliance E.Honda and Ryu created some fantastic posses and by doing so crowds of fans and photographers mobbed the two cos players taking photos and cheering.
This is what cos play is all about. Rewarding the dedicated fans with praise for all their hard work they put in to transform themselves into video game and anime characters they love.
Check out this years Cos Play action at TGS 2010 below. Let us know who you liked the most and we’ll pick a winner from the comments below to win something cool
Ladies & Gentlemen Tokyo Game Show 2010 was EPIC. A lot of new titles were shown from many of the game publishers, Microsoft Kinect was fantastic, Sony’s Move was awesome, some of the upcoming titles from all the publishers had us drooling.
We’ve compiled all the highlights of Tokyo Game Show 2010 in the photo album below. It covers two days of the show floor plus other media locations.
Games to keep an eye on in the coming months ahead are :
I’m sure that anyone who has played Halo: Reach already maybe has unlocked a few of Noble Team’s helmets to go on your avatar. But doesn’t that helmet look a bit out of place? Well not anymore it won’t. Too bad though that the only way to get the matching armor for your avatar character will require that you spend a bit of money on it in the way of MSP. Too bad they weren’t extra Waypoint awards or even Halo: Reach multiplayer rank awards huh?
First though we have the leader of Noble Team, Noble One: Carter’s armor: male , female
Secondly we have the tech specialist of Noble Team, Noble Two: Kat’s armor: male , female
Then we have the sniper Noble Three: Jun’s Armor:male , female
The tough and grizzled fighter of the team; Noble Four: Emile’s Armor:male , female
And last but definitely not the least we have the gatling gun carrying Noble Five: Jorge’s Armor:male , female
All of these armors will cost 400 MSP ($5). This isn’t too bad considering if you are a major fan of a certain Noble Six member then you can make your own avatar appear as them. Though it’s also interesting their are both male and female suits for everyone on the team, but does keep the options open for everyone.
