WayForward Technologies is remaking the arcade classic on Wii and 3DS with 3D environments and new features. No longer limited by an invisible ceiling like in the original, players can run all around the enclosed arenas with the nunchuk while aiming the Wii remote and blasting away with the B button. Thus far in the game's development, the only other move is a stomp (done with A or C) and the D-Pad is for changing weapons. Whether there will be a jump to aid in dodging or exploration/adventure elements is still undecided at this point. I saw very few mushrooms and destructible barriers; hopefully they'll be added in the next several months of development.
E3 is a busy time, and 2011's conference is no exception. With new information constantly being released, it can be easy to miss big announcements or overlook certain articles. Because of this, PixlBit has compiled all of our E3 articles into separate sections (Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, Wii U, and Vita) for easy viewing, so that none of you miss out on any of our coverage.
With five successful iterations of the PixelJunk series already released, Sony announced a brand new addition, PixelJunk SideScroller.
The Sims. Perhaps you've heard of it. The Sims is a game people play where ordinary, everyday people play as ordinary everyday people. A Sim can raise a family, meet neighbors, or get a job. Basically, Sims do just about everything the people who play them do. Re:coded is, in this sense, a game where the heroes of many worlds play as the heroes of many worlds. The digital characters fight heartless, solve a universe of problems, and try to determine the identity and purpose of mysterious figures. Basically, Kingdom Hearts Re:coded's digital Sora does just about everything Sora does.
My feelings for Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game are honestly a bit complicated. Coming from someone whose opinion isn't clouded by bias since I have never read the comics or seen the movie, I find that in some respects I really like the game and want to ignore its flaws, whereas on the other hand I'd like nothing more than to never play it again. Were the gameplay only a bit more consistent and less unbalanced, I would have nothing but praise for Scott Pilgrim vs.The World: The Game. But as it stands, there are many aspects of the game which provide nothing but a frustrating and tedious gaming experience.
When I picked up FlingSmash, I didn't know much about the game, despite its presence last year. From the name, I knew it had something to do with smashing, and perhaps a flinging motion, but that was about all. I spoke with the man in charge of the demo station, and shortly after, began playing the first stage in the game.
Kirby may be pink in his upcoming title, Kirby's Epic Yarn, but he's anything other than the familiar pink pudgy ball that many of us grew up with.
After Nintendo announced that Retro Studios was reviving the Donkey Kong Country series during their press conference today, there was no question where I was headed to first.
