As you may already know, we’re pretty big fans of the Pokémon series here. And Pokémon Black and White is shaping up to be another fine entry in what’s already a great series of games.
When the new starters were revealed, many of us began to wonder what they were going to look like. Well, we might have that answer for you. The following images were posted on serebii.net, and are possibly the evolved forms of Tsutarja, Pokabu and Mijumaru.
Alright, folks, this is the REAL DEAL. No fakery here, let me assure you. Looks like the last list I posted was pretty spot on, but missing several tracks. All 83 are here.
I counted.
During E3 of last year, my jaw hit the floor with a resounding thud as Golden Sun: Dark Dawn was announced for the Nintendo DS. I loved both Golden Sun games for the GBA and had been anticipating a sequel for years.
Unfortunately, the actual release was far off, and we’ve had to sit patiently with “Holiday 2010″ as a tentative release date. Until now.
I’m a big fan of Spider-Man and one of my most anticipated titles of the year is Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, featuring a team-up of four different Spider-Men from different dimensions.
Adding to that anticipation is the following trailer, highlightning just what each Spidey is all about; stealth; speed; etc.
Not only that, all the voice actors are finally locked in for their characters. I, for one, can’t wait! Game’s out September 7. Video after the cut.
Oh my. Oh my good golly goodness.
Okamiden is going to be the most adorable game of FOREVER.
Nintendo announced its Gamescom line-up today, which includes The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Will the line for it be just as long as during E3? Probably.
Dear Tetsuya Nomura,
The most of us here at The Gaming Vault (and many others across the immense interwebs) really enjoy spiky-haired, angst-ridden protagonists with very large headphones and very Japanese clothing. We also enjoy awesome DS games that are alone worth getting the handheld system for.
Wait, what’s that, Mr. Nomura? You want to give us more?
Activision has unveiled a UK release date for the latest installment of Guitar Hero, Warriors of Rock. You’ll see it in the UK on September 24th, and as we already know, there’s a US release date of September 28th.
You can still catch’em all, but with a twist!
In the upcoming Pokémon Black and White, players will not be able to find any of the current 493 monsters until they’ve effectively beaten the game, meaning defeated the Elite Four. This piece of news comes courtesy of GameFreak’s Junichi Masuda.
Now here’s a news story in which it’s hard to decide if it’s surprising, or the inevitable. Nintendo has shown a very significant drop in profit and sales for it’s Q1 period, ending June 30. This has seen the company make a loss for the period, a situation which has occurred in years.
It’s Comic-Con! And we love us some Comic-Con. While it might have strayed a little from its pure comic book origins, Comic-Con today is a celebration of all things geekdom. Meaning plenty of video game announcements to boot.
To the surprise of… well… absolutely nobody this isn’t. Red Dead Redemption has been confirmed as being the best selling video game in the US this year, based on combined NPD platform sales figures.
The game sold over 1.5 million copies during its release month in May, at almost another million copies since then. It sounds like Red Dead Redemption is going to repeat the success of Rockstar’s other famous franchise and stick around in the charts for a while to come yet.
In a move surprising absolutely bloody no one Marvel and Sega announced a third person action-adventure game based on the God of Thunder himself, Thor. It probably has nothing to do with the upcoming film adaptation. Oh wait…
“We are proud to be bringing Thor to his first solo video game adventure”, commented Gary Knight, senior VP of marketing at Sega.”
Truly no pun intended in that title there. Nintendo of Europe has released a really, really big list of upcoming DS and Wii games, running to the end of the third quarter.
The full list can be found after the cut, though the sad news is that there are only about 3 games to be excited about in the entire lot.
According to Siliconera., Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has gone on record saying that 3DS will be a “dramatic improvement” for digital distribution by the company, which they will be “expanding” with the launch of the new handheld.
“We are thinking the release of new hardware should be good timing for a dramatic improvement of this situation,” Iwata said at an investor session recently.
