Fire Pro-Wrestling Coming to the XBLA With Avatar Support…

One of the most loved wrestling series is now on it’s way to the 360. At TGS, Microsoft announced the new Xbox 360 Arcade title “Fire Pro-Wrestling” which will be coming to systems in 2011. Go ahead and jump up and rejoice, fellow Fire Pro fans out there. There is a catch though, instead of the classic 2D sprites, players will use avatars which will have unlockable attires and moves as you progress through the game.

I loved the Fire Pro series and it is a franchise that is near and dear to me. I am worried however how the avatars seem unfitting for a Fire Pro title though. Seeing the avatars also made me wonder if the jam packed customization and deep gameplay the series has always been known for will be taking a hit which seems unlikely due to Spike! developing (Seeing certain avatars being in land mine matches would be awesome though). I may sound a bit optimistic which I am a tad but Fire Pro has always been the one series that stuck to the heart and soul of what wrestling games should be and I don’t really care to see an avatar as the mascot for a series that clearly stands on it’s own in gaming history. I do like Microsoft’s avatars though on their own and all I can say at the moment is I will be watching this game closely as more news leaks out as it is still very to soon to tell anything at the moment besides the little bit of news coming out of TGS. As I mentioned, since Spike! is developing this could have potential after all to be Fire Pro-Wrestling’s true step into this generation of gaming.

Team ICO Collection Details

It was recently confirmed at TGS that Team ICO will be releasing ICO and Shadow of the Colossus on one disc, in high definition, for Playstation 3. Soon after the confirmation, the team then gave more details as to what the collection will include.

Both games have been revamped to run at a constant 30 frames-per-second, along with a lot of re-texturing so they look as nice a possible. ICO will also have the European ending, which the American and Japanese versions lacked. Both games will also offer 3D support and trophies.

Here’s a trailer for the collection which is to be released Spring 2011. Man, this is looking good.

PS3 Firmware 3.50 Coming Sept. 21

Coming only two weeks after the release of firmware update 3.42, Sony announced that 3.50 is right around the corner. If you don’t have any 3D Blu-ray movies, or more importantly a 3D capable TV, then this update will be of no use for you.

Firmware update 3.50 is adding 3D Blu-ray movie support for your console. Even though the September 21 date was only announced for the Japanese region, other regions can more than likely expect the update to hit on the 21st, or soon after.

Busy day for Capcom today as another brand new trailer and some new character art and screenshots were released for Okamiden. The trailer introduces players to Chibiterasu, the heir to Amaterasu from the first title and shows off a glimpse of the other characters that the young pup will be running into on this new adventure.

The music displayed in the trailer alone is beautiful and is sure to help capture the feel for the first game which was one of Capcom’s most stand-out titles on the PS2 when released. Along with this bit of new footage comes some nice new concept art and screenshots of the game which you can check out along with the trailer below. Players in Japan will be getting their hands on the title at the end of this month and the game will release everywhere else can take control of the Celestial Brush with Chibiterasu in the first quarter of 2011.

Time Sensitive Achievements: Brothers in Arms and Saints Row 2

I don’t know about you guys, but I love collecting achievements in games; the sense of completing a game and putting it away permanently just feels so good. Sadly, there are some games that have time sensitive achievements in them. Achievements that can only be unlocked on a specific day are the most annoying of them, if you miss the day you have to wait another year to get it again. By the time the year is up, you forget about it and miss the day again.

That’s why I’m here to remind you!

If you have “Brothers In Arms” or “Saints Row 2” there are certain days coming up that will enable you to unlock certain achievements.

Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway

Remember September ’44 (50)
While connected to Xbox LIVE, play the game on September 17th.

~~

Saints Row 2

Kingpin (40 )
Earn 30 Multiplayer Badges

(Kin pin requires you to get 30 multiplayer badges, one of them requires you to either play on either September 19th (National Talk Like a Pirate Day) or on December 5th ( the Day of the Ninja). Thus earning you the “ARR…” badge.

Rumor: Muramasa and Odin Sphere Getting HD Ports

Following the confirmation of the HD ports of Shadow of the Colossus and ICO, 1UP claim to have it on good authority that Muramasa and Odin Sphere will be getting the same treatment.

According to the report, sources in Japan are saying Vanillaware is getting ready to release the two games as downloadable titles, rumored for Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network. Seeing Muramasa and Odin Sphere in HD would be a wondrous treat, seeing as how both games look fantastic already. Since this bit of news is only a rumor, you can expect to hear more as soon as we do.

The Tokyo Game Show is in full swing and Capcom have now shown the trailer for the brand new Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth 2 which will be headed to the Nintendo DS. Not much is known at the moment but Capcom did bring an awesome new Japanese trailer showing off the game which looks to be another awesome entry in the Ace Attorney series.

You might even catch some familiar faces such as Will Powers and Shelly De Killer in the new trailer meaning other past characters could very well be making a return as well. Miles Edgeworth 2 at this moment is only confirmed for Japan but I look for a North American/EU release to be announced a bit down the line so check back for more updates. You can check out the trailer below.

Phantasy Star Online 2 Revealed at TGS

Exciting announcements have been spilling out of Tokyo all throughout the day, but this one seemed to have come out of left field. Phantasy Star Online 2 was revealed during Sega’s live stream of their part of the show.

The trailer shows how Phantasy Star has evolved over the many years, ramping up to the announcement of PSO2. The game is said to be out next year on PC.

Lobby races, anyone?

PixelJunk Lifelike Kind-of Demonstrated in Trailer

PixelJunk’s latest trailer for their upcoming project, Lifelike, is certainly cool and unique to watch. Omar Cornut, Q-Games, and Baiyon, musician, take to the first with Playstation Move controllers and pink hats to do weird things. Throughout the trailer the visualization part of Lifelike comes in the play, suggesting you can waggle the Move controller to the music to create different visual effects. Other than that, I have no idea what’s going on.

PixelJunk lifelike does not have a set release date at his point.
