E3 Expo 2012
With Nintendo's conference behind us, see what the crew thinks of the presentation.
Nintendo revealed some of their Wii U plans and gave us an idea of where they're looking to take their business in the coming months, but they were seemingly holding back. Find out what Nick, Chessa, and Jason thought of the conference, E3 thus far, and the potential challenges of Nintendo's new system when it launches later this year.
Square Enix shows us their next-gen graphics engine in this stunning realtime tech demo of a Final Fantasy world.
Whether it's fighting or RPG gaming, Atlus has you covered.
The Persona series continues to please and delight fans all over the world, and even though there is still no word on a new iteration on the popular RPG series, rabid Persona otaku can get their hands on not one, but two Persona games this year. First up is Persona 4 Arena, a 2D hand-drawn fighting game featuring popular characters battling it out with their own moves as well as their individual Personas.
This includes WiiWare and Virtual Console games, as well as saves.
Tonight's developer roundtable has brought to light that players will be able to transfer all of their Wii data to their Wii U. Purchased goods from the Wii Shop Channel, namely WiiWare and Virtual Console games, as well as saves can all be brought over.
A Wii U version is also in development.
Another Just Dance game is in development and it's coming to Wii, Xbox 360 Kinect, and PlayStation 3 Move this October. A Wii U version is also being made and will be released during the Wii U's launch window. Just Dance 4 will have more than 40 new songs to dance to, including Pop, Hip-Hop, R&B, Rock, Country and Funk.
Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed III and more impressed.
Ubisoft's E3 2012 press conference showcased many games and although there weren't too many new games announced, what was shown was impressive. Trailers for Splinter Cell: Blacklist, ZombiU, and Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth were shown and a video quickly announcing Rabbids Land, Your Shape (an exercise title), and Sports Connection (a collection of mini-games) all for the Wii U was also shown.
THQ San Diego closes its doors as part of the transaction.
During the EA press conference, the massive publisher/developer casually dropped a bomb: EA had reached a multi-year deal with the UFC to develop games based on the wildly popular MMA franchise. That’s a lot of acronyms flying around, but in all the glitz and glamor of the EA press conference it was easy for even the most astute follower of the video game industry to not ask a very important question: What happened to THQ and the Undisputed franchise?
