Fire Emblem: Awakening coming to North America
After a 3DS software showcase in which no new 3DS software was announced, Nintendo surprised us all by tweeting confirmation of a North American release for Fire Emblem: Awakening, the 3DS iteration of the popular strategy role-playing series. There's no release window, but Nintendo promised "more ...
Epic Mickey 2: Power of Illusion also out November 18
During Nintendo's 3DS showcase, Warren Spector and Dreamrift's Peter Ong showed off Epic Mickey 2: Power of Illusion, and revealed that the 3DS game will join its console counterpart at retail on November 18. ...
Using the power of the people in Wii U's 'Project P-100'
Among the Wii U's minigame collection-heavy E3 lineup was a weird, weird surprise: an original action game by Platinum Games. Project P-100 isn't just an anomaly among Wii U games, it stands out among Platinum's lineup. It's very cartoony and cute, adjectives I won't see applied to Bayonetta or ...
Hatsune Miku not planned for North America, at E3 as 'sneak peek'
Yesterday, when I found Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F for Vita in Sony's E3 booth, I interpreted that as evidence of a North American release. After all, it was a game being shown at E3. However, that isn't actually the case. Today, I went back to the booth and spotted a Sega rep next to the demo. ...
Vita PSOne Classics to be rolled out gradually
PSOne Classics will soon be compatible with PlayStation Vita, finally. However, the launch won't just be flipping a switch on all the PSOne Classics available on PSP and PS3. Instead, Vita PSOne Classics will be rolled out gradually starting this summer, Sony informed Joystiq today. If you've ...
Experience the Wii U in our Nintendo booth video tour
I stormed Nintendo's E3 booth yesterday to try some real Wii U games. Because simply seeing screens is no longer enough -- you have to see screens and the controller, with its screens -- I brought a camera crew with me. Join us for gameplay snippets of Nintendo Land's "Takamaru's Ninja Castle" and ...
Danica Patrick is in Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed
Danica Patrick, NASCAR racing star, is a playable character in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. This is despite being a real human person and not a cartoon hedgehog, confined monkey, or any other kind of Sega all-star. Sega is returning the favor by sponsoring a special Sonic-themed car ...
Wii U's Game and Wario makes me Wario-wary
It seems stubborn to lament a stylistic and gameplay shift for (essentially) the WarioWare series -- one built on hilariously frequent stylistic and gameplay shifts -- but the Wii U's Game & Wario dramatically shifts away from pretty much all the cornerstones of WarioWare, and toward ...
Miyamoto designing a new game, but it'll be a while
Shigeru Miyamoto told me during an E3 interview that he's working on a new game of his own, when his other job of being a very important executive allows it. "One thing I want to clear up," Miyamoto told Joystiq, "people like to ask me if I want to do a small project with a small team. I do like ...
'Hatsune Miku' bringing synthesized vocal music gaming to North American Vita
In Japan, Hatsune Miku Project Diva F is a big enough game to command its own Vita hardware bundle, featuring a special-edition console and everything. In North America, it's something I randomly happened upon in Sony's E3 2012 booth, completely unheralded and unexplained. This difference in status ...
