Finally! Crackdown 2 has just received an official release date in the UK. The title will be hitting shelves in the country on July 9.
Ruffian’s also released the first ViDoc for the game.
A summer release was originally mentioned a few months ago by Ruffian Games, but this is the first confirmation of an exact release date.
Full press release after the cut.
Another one of the big games being talked about during Nintendo’s Media Summit was Metroid: Other M.
Nintendo could confirm the report from IGN Australia and dated Metroid: Other M for a release date of June 27 in the US. Unfortunately nothing was said of a European release date.
“When you finish playing this, you’re going to feel like you know Samus in a way you’ve never known her before,” said Nintendo’s Cammie Dunaway.
That certainly sounds awesome. So mark your calendars for June 27.
When we received word earlier today that Super Mario Galaxy 2 would be released before Christmas this year, we didn’t think they meant quite this early… Nintendo has just confirmed at its San Francisco media summit that Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be hitting stores in the US on May 23.
The release date was revealed by Nintendo of America executive Cammie Dunaway at the summit mere minutes before this story was posted.
So much for a “summer” release date. Looks like some of us will have a reason to get our Wiis out of the back of the dust closet a little earlier than expected.
Chatting at its media summit in San Francisco today, Nintendo has announced that the DSi XL will being launch in the US on March 28, with a price tag of $189.
The colours available for the DSi XL will be red, black and wine. Yes, strangely, there is no white version.
The DSi XL is a larger version of the DSi, which was a refitted version of the DS Lite, while was a a smaller version of the original DS… which kind of makes the whole act of making the DSi larger a little redundant, don’t you think?
I officially dub today “Nintendo Newsday”.
[UPDATE] Super Mario Galaxy has a confirmed release date of May 23
Well this certainly is surprising. According to a report from IGN Australia, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid Other M are not going to be Christmas releases.
Nintendo Australia’s Greg Arhurton confirmed that both titles were not holiday season releases, but are due for release between June and August of this year.
Keep in mind that this has not yet been confirmed, but more details should surface soon as Nintendo’s holding a press event in the US today.
Valve has joined in on the festivities that is Microsoft’s X10 event and is detailing the first DLC pack for Left 4 Dead 2; “The Passing”. The new campaign is set for a March release.
In “The Passing”, the characters of L4D2 meet up with the original L4D survivors, Francis, Bill, Zoey and Louis. According to Valve’s Chet Fliszek, the original survivors will aid the new characters in finishing the third map in the campaign.
There will also be a new type of infected called the “Fallen Survivor” who will drop health kits and ammo when killed.
Eventually there will also be an add-on to Left 4 Dead 1, which bridges the gap between the original game and “The Passing”. We’ve also got some video footage of the Fallen Survivor after the cut
Splinter Cell: Conviction will be hitting store shelves in April, in the UK (probably Europe as well), North America and Japan.

It might get its own Xbox 360 bundle, but that’s yet to be confirmed by Microsoft

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle has been out in the US for a few weeks now, but us Europeans have to wait a while before being able to experience Travis Touchdown’s second coming.
Make that a long while, because No More Heroes 2 isn’t set to be released in Europe until the end of April 2010. This was confirmed in a press release from Rising Star Games, the game’s European publisher.
“The first No More Heroes game fast built a reputation as a benchmark in the Wii’s capabilities, and was brave and bold enough to stand out from the crowd as an antidote to the glut of party games on the market for the console,” said Martin Defries, managing director of Rising Star Games.
So far the sequel seems to live up to the original’s reputation, receiving 5/5 from GameSpy, 9/10 from GamesRadar and an A- from 1up.
Fallout New Vegas, which was announced nearly a year ago but which we’ve received absolutely no information on since, has just been confirmed for a release this autumn.
Bethesda, being the generous folks that they are, have provided a trailer to go along with the announcement.
The new Fallout tittle is being developed by Obsidian Entertainment, who were involved with the creation first two Fallout game, a fact that is likely to please many long time fans.
Now, if you’ll excuse me… Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone, without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own…

“That’s the date we’ve got and as far as we’re concerned they’ve committed to it,” said one of CVG’s sources.
This is the one everyone has been waiting for. Square Enix has just announced that Final Fantasy XIII will hit US and European shelves March 9, 2010.
In a uniquely inventive twist, Square has stated that it will announce new information on the game on the 13th of every month as part of its “Lucky Number 13″ campaign.
The announcement was made in an official video. I dare you to watch this and not feel at least remotely excited.
Apologies for the terrible pun…
