Changes: Upcoming Games

Revision as of 16:04, 6 March 2013

This page is a work in progress and will be continuously revised. Please note that some titles are expected for release through 2013 and beyond. F.Y.I.: After a game comes out, then please do one of the following: 1) If we can agree a game was good, add to the appropriate system page. 2) If the consensus is that "shit sucks", well, just delete it.

Multiplatform (PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Wii, Wii U and/or Portables)

Title	Genre	Description	Release date
Beyond Good & Evil 2	Action-adventure	The long awaited sequel to one of the best titles last generation. In June 2010, designer Michel Ancel suggested that development will still take "a while" and a small development team has been tasked with the project. Apparently Ubisoft is still considering the likelihood of releasing the title given the poor sales of the original. Michael Ancel now says BGE2 will be on future hardware.	TBA PS3, 360, Next-Gen Consoles/PCs
BioShock Infinite	FPS	The next installment in the BioShock series, though not a sequel or prequel to the other two (it's unclear at this point if it's even set in the same "universe"). You play as a former Pinkerton agent trying to rescue a woman with powers in an ultra-xenophobic crumbling "sky city", as in, a city, complete with sky scrapers, floating in the sky on hot air balloons, in 1912. Plasmids, or something like plasmids, will be prevalent. Very bright and vibrant outside setting as opposed to dark and bleak like the other two.	US: March 26, 2013 EU: ?? PC, PS3, 360
Dark Souls II	Action RPG	New hero, story, ~~artificial difficulty~~ and an unfamiliar world. Do you have the intestinal fortitude to embark on this journey?	TBA PC, PS3, 360
Dead Space 3	Third Person ~~Horror~~ Shooter	All we know about this so far is that it IS happening and it will take place on an ice planet, using blinding snow effects to replace the darkness in the last two games. Will have co-op, and seems to focus more on shooting and less on horror.	February 2013
Destiny	FPS	Bungie's next title, an "always online" FPS with MMO elements. Has potential.	TBA PS3, PS4, Xbox 360
Earth Defense Force 2025	TPS	EDF is back with a new installment! Sandlot is back as the developer as well. Seems to be more like 2017 which is a good thing. Trailer	2013 PS3, Xbox 360
Grand Theft Auto V	Open World Action Adventure	Think Grand Theft Auto IV but in Los Santos and injected with a giant load of awesome. What else is there to say?. Lots of information has been leaked for GTAV, read about it here (possible spoilers)	TBA Spring 2013: PS3 & 360, delayed PC release can be assumed)
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Flash	JRPG	The latest addition to the Legend of Heroes series comes to the PS3 and Vita. Takes place in the same world and time period as in Trails in the Sky. Improvements include full 3D graphics, more voice acting and an updated battle system.	JP: 2013 PS3, Vita
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance	Hack and Slash	Ignoring the goofy name, this game seems like it'll be absolutely glorious. It's being co-developed by Platinum Games, who have never made a bad game, and the writing is still made by Kojima Productions, meaning it'll have the incredible gameplay of a P* game and the brilliant writing of Kojima. It's set a few years after MGS4, or an alternate universe, and follows Raiden on his CRAZY cyborg ninja adventures.	Feb 19 2013 PS3, 360 and has a rumored PC release
Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes	Stealth/Being a badass	Recently announced by Kojima. Takes place some time after Peace Walker.	'Soon' PS3/360, PC? Possibly next-gen.
Phantasy Star Online 2	MMORPG	The sequel to the much beloved Phantasy Star Online. PC, and recently also confirmed for a PSVita release, iOS, and tablet release, with shared servers between the two consoles and is going to be ~~free to play~~ pay to win. Gameplay looks promising, for an MMO.	2013
Prey 2	FPS	People who liked Prey might be confused if you tell them that Prey 2 will revolve around alien bounty hunting in a dystopic, futuristic sci-fi city with open world gameplay. But it sounds extremely exciting and after the hidden gem that Prey was it's definitely worth keeping an eye on if you like sci-fi shooters. Update August 2012: Rumoured to be cancelled. Was also recently removed from the products page on Bethesda's homepage, making the future for this game look even more grim.	TBA PC, PS3, 360
Project Versus J	Fighting	Spiritual successor to Jump Ultimate Stars on the DS. Fighting game akin to Smash Brothers featuring characters from the Shonen Jump magazine roster. Fans will be able to vote on which characters they wish to see in the game.	JP: TBA PS3, Vita
Shenmue 1 & 2 HD	Adventure	Everyone's favorite forkliftin', soft drink drinking and sailor searching sim is coming to the PSN and XBLA! This is a perfect chance to show SEGA that there's still interest in the brand and for those of you who missed out on these great games. Update March 2012:insane amounts of layoffs and restructuring at Sega make chances for this actually getting released in the West look bleak.	TBA PS3, 360
Tomb Raider	Action/Adventure	Yay! Another reboot to the good and old Tomb Raider series. Anyway, this time Lara will be trying to survive on island, said to have survival-ish features (like looking out for water, food, creating tools from various items, etc). It will include some skill upgrading system to enable players to get further on the island. People over Crystal Dynamics said puzzles will be a lot more complex, and I really hope so. Overall, the game design seems to be a lot more darker than previous entries.	03/2013 360, PS3, PC
Watch Dogs	Action/Adventure TPS	Ubisoft's E3 surprise. Play as some violent guy in a trenchcoat with 1337 hacking skills, using modern technology to his advantage in order to kill people. Jam everyone's smart phones and sneak past them while they're trying to reconnect to Facebook, disable traffic lights and cause traffic accidents, hack cameras and scan people to find out if they're HIV positive. Seemed to have some multiplayer/multiple playable characters during the end of the E3 presentation. Gameplay here	TBA PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Wii U, PC

Nintendo 3DS

The 3DS is picking up quite a storm in the game department, as well as a huge legion of fans behind it. It's a very nice system and not a lot of people would blame you if you abandoned your DS for this motherfucker.

Screenshot	Title	Genre	Description	Release Date
	Animal Crossing: New Leaf	Sims	Same old Animal Crossing, but this time instead of being a typical neighbor you're the FUCKING MAYOR. That's right! Hopefully, you can boot out that damn Tom Nook for all the shit he's put you through. New features this time around include customizable furniture, wall specific items, and outdoor specific items like benches, lamp posts, etc. Also, QR codes for downloadable outfits, and possibly your own QR codes to share with others. You decide what shops to build, change store hours, etc. Add, remove, and adjust things in town like bridges and shops and shit. As always, you can change your character's clothes and textures. More to find out after the JP release.	JP: Out now Worldwide: 2013
	Ace Attorney 5	OBJECTING!	Phoenix is back! Now with some new assistant chick in yellow and looking manlier than ever. The game's visuals will be switched from 2D to 3D, and the plot is set one year after Apollo Justice. Winston Payne's brother will apparently be taking the stand as a prosecutor.	Japan: TBA 2013 Worldwide: TBA
	Bravely Default Flying Fairy	RPG	Remember Final Fantasy 4 Heroes of Light on DS? This basically fixes a lot of the issues with that and instead of being based off FF3, it's based off of FF5 and FFT, taking the best parts of both and mashing them together for a kickass job system. Lots more customization options and more equipment slots mean you're less limited in combat options. If you don't like turn-based stuff, then pass on this. Everyone else is in for a real treat. There's also streetpass confirmed which will also slightly boost your characters, assuming you go outside.	JP: now All others: ?
	Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate	Action-adventure		NA: March 5, 2013 EU: March 8, 2013
	Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D	2D Platformer	A 'remake' of the fantastic Wii game. Let's hope for no wagglan. Has a trailer on the eShop, watch it and enjoy the amazing 3D.	TBA 2013
	Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan	RPG/1st Person Dungeon Crawler	"F.O.E.!" The DS smash hit dungeon crawler is back! We don't know too much yet. Seven classes are revealed so far: Swordsman, Medic, Fortress, Rune Master, Nightseeker, Sniper, and Dancer. There's also two difficulty options, and you can even change from one to the other at any time in the game (although it isn't mandatory). In news of aesthetics, artist Nizo Yamamoto, who worked on Princess Mononoke, is creating background art. Expect your eyes to explode from the awesome world design. The original Etrian vets also return (Yuji Himukai, Shin Nagasawa, Yuzu Koshiro, and Daisuke Kaneda).	JP: Out now NA: Feb 26 2013 EU:??
	Fantasy Life	RPG		JP: Out now Worldwide: TBA
image	Fluidity/Hydroventure: Spin Cycle	Puzzle-Platformer?	Sequel to the Wii original. Like that one, you spin the level around, but now using your 3DS gyrosensor. Later on you can freeze the water into block of ice or turn it into a steam cloud. Has a curious storybook aesthetic, and evidently levels transcend time, as you go from "lost world full of dinosaurs to the modern world and beyond". Will likely be rather lengthy like the original and more than likely also have "a fantastically chill soundtrack" as someone noted on the Wii page.	Out now
	KAIO: King of Pirates	Action RPG	The first of a pirate-theme planned TRILOGY, and This is an effort between Keiji Inafune’s Intercept/Comcept studio and Marvelous AQL. Re-tells Romance of the Three Kingdoms in a sea-faring epic with all types of animals, designed after characters and their descendants like Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Cao Cao, and more. Inafune promises “I will not disappoint you” in the official website, which has BOTH Japanese and English text choices. Update: It's all but official that this game is coming overseas. Maybe? I still wanna believe...	JP: ? US: ?
	Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon	Adventure/Survival "Horror"	Luigi slips back on the ghost-busting scene. "Far along in development" thanks to development by Next Level Games, though Shiggy is "personally responsible". The map is on the touch screen and will have Gyro-sensor support. Supposedly, there's alot of secrets to find. Different mansions will be traversed, including an ice mansion and a mummy-filled tomb. Will be a mix of action and puzzles, the latter of which have been expanded on greatly, mostly to find secrets. Luigi gets a new DS over his old Game Boy Horror, and his Flashlight and Vacuum may be upgraded as well; but he'll still go chickenshit as always.	EU: March 2013 NA: Spring 2013
	Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate	Jaggies Everywhere	The one game NOBODY expected. Essentially a BOOSTED version of 3G (200 quests, touch-screen inventory and map functionality, and a "guild card" that can be swapped with other players) which was already a step up from MH3 to begin with. Cross-play and cross-save compatibility is the biggest addition. Play on one version and continue on another. Although the 3DS version is local-multiplayer only, the Wii U version can play online like MH3 on Wii could, but whether a 3DS can cross-play and join an online session via a sort of ad-hoc is unknown (and perhaps unlikely). Either way, both will release simultaneously in NA and Europe, so you can pal it up with the PALs and uh... play with Americans. Touch-screen and Circle Pad Pro you already know of Other NEW extras past 3G are unknown.	March 2013
	Monster Hunter 4	Action RPG		JP: Summer 2013 Worldwide:??
	Nano Assault EX	Shoot 'em up	Sequel to the 3DS original, but may or may not be related to the Wii U sequel. Shit just got Snake's Revenge, yo. Will be released on the eShop instead of retail.	unknown, but soon?
	Pokemon X and Y	RPG	Probably(?) not the same old game you played a hundred times before. Now moved to all 3D models, including glorious, beautiful pokemon battles that look Stadium-esque, to actual 3D player characters. Not much else is known, but your bodies ain't ready.	Worldwide: October 2013
	Professor Layton 6	Puzzle	Roughly translated as: "Professor Layton and the Ruins of an Advanced Civilization". The last of the prequel trilogy. Takes place a year after Miracle Mask, and may or may not lead into Curious Village (Layton 1). Obviously has to do with some kind of Civilization, which seems to have been loosely inspired by Laputa: Castle in the Sky. According to creator Akihiro Hino, this will be the "last" Layton game. Whether that means the last game with Layton in it or the last game period is yet to be determined.Trailer Layton... had a puzzling life.	JP: 2013
	Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney	Adventure/puzzle?	I am dead fucking serious. Not much is known about it at this point except that it's coming and it features Phoenix, Maya, Layton and Luke trying to figure out the mystery behind a book that makes everything come true that's written in it. Supposedly de-confirmed for overseas release, but who knows? They may change their minds. Level 5 has shown interest, it's just a matter of getting all the copyright bullshit cleared, most likely. It's finishing completion in JP development, so look forward to news.	JP: Out now Worldwide: TBA
	Project X Zone	Crossover clusterfuck	A role playing tactics game with characters from Capcom, Sega, and Namco franchises. Has tactics-based tile maps, but battles play out similar to Namco x Capcom, along with enhancements from Super Robot Wars Endless Frontier on DS. ~~Damn near guaranteed to never make it out of Japan (maybe)~~ CONFIRMED FOR EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, NORTH AMERICA AND LATIN AMERICA. Go buy some Tekken to thank Harada.	JP: Now US/EU: Summer 2013
	Rhythm Hunter: HarmoKnight	Platformer/Rhythm	After 7 years, Game Freak finally got to make another game that isn't Pokemon. Seems similar to Bit Trip Runner and that one Rayman Legends level. Boss stages/battles seem almost Parappa-style as you get a prompt and then must copy it with your movements within a tempo. eShop exclusive, so rev up those points/credit cards. Gameplay demo footage More Info Has english voices, so it may come over soon.	US/EU: 2013 JP: now
	Rune Factory 4	Action-RPG/Sim	Not too much known as of yet, other than not coming out in 2011. New features include choosing your hero and sex/gender, going on dates with boy/girls instead of flat-out going from friends to marriage, and also talking to dragons (a big part of the game). There's a little more worth mentioning, but the big details aren't too well known yet. There's still farming (also with giant crops like giant turnips), combat, woolies, and taming monsters.	JP: now US/EU: ?
	Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner - Soul Hackers	First Person RPG	Remake of Megaten classic where you play as a cyberpunk ~~Lupin the THIRRRD~~ hacker. The world is connected via a colossal cyber network and some fags want to steal everyone's souls with computers. You and your gang, the Spookies, aim to stop this. Although translations on older versions are still worked on, this one has "animated battle sprites, a new intro, improved controls, smoother animation, new artwork, and quicker loading times." Also, "fully voiced dialogue." ~~While it hasn't been announced for overseas, Atlus has been on a good roll lately and signs seem to point to a likely localization~~ Atlus has recently announced that Soul Hackers with be released in the US by Spring 2013. More like old SMT and not Persona, so don't expect happy-go-lovey shit.	JP: now US: Spring 2013 EU: TBA
	Shin Megami Tensei IV	RPG/Dungeon Crawler	[1]	TBA
	Smash Bros. 3DS	Fighting (Casual/Party)	Nothing solid is known yet, but it will have relations to the Smash Bros. on Wii U. Rumors say that this game may return to the roots of Smash and be more party and casual-fun friendly than the Wii U game. Now that Kid Icarus Uprising is over with, he's said that he'll re-study past Smash games some before cracking at the newest ones. Update! Sakurai and Bandai Namco have joined forces for BOTH new Smashes. Prepare your wallets, because who knows what might happen this time around.	JP/US/EU: TBA
	Umihara Kawase Sayonara	Platformer	Incoming GOTY. Pray that either the 3DS' region lock gets broken by hackers when it drops or that it by some miracle it gets a US release because you're not gonna want to miss this.	JP: Summer 2013

PC

Box	Title	Genre	Description	Release date
	DOTA 2	Action RTS	Sequel to the Warcraft III mod, Defense of the Ancients.	Q4 2012 (Valve Time)
	Dragon Commander	Turn-based/Real-time Strategy/RPG	Continuing Larian's trend of games with terrible names, Dragon Commander lets you be the dragon that Hawke never could be. The premise is that you're the commander of an army, and you're a Dragon Knight (which means you have a dragon and a human form), and the game switches between the RPG-style conversations and equipment, the TBS-style campaign map, and the action-RTS style battles. (And yes, there's a tactical view.) It's also the company's first game after going independently funded (though they're still a big studio.) Whether the game works or it crashes and burns, it'll probably be interesting to watch either way.	TBA
	Freedom Planet	Girlie Sonic Action	A Sonic-like game with Original Characters. By which i mean it has the level design, physics, glorious graphics and music you'd expect from the Genesis games, plus some different gameplay mechanics and Treasure-like boss battles. A demo will be out on SAGE 2012.	TBA

	Hawken	Mech FPS	You love mechs? What a stupid question, of course you do. We all love mechs. The lack of current gen mech combat games saddens you? Fear not, Hawken is here! Put together by a very small and talented team it promises to bring back everything we love about mech combat. There are plenty of gameplay videos on youtube, the developers are eager to share their progress and updates with the fans, the signups for the yet undated closed beta are open and it was announced that console versions are a developer wish that might become reality if time and money allow it.	12.12.12
	Monaco	Heist	A downloadable 4-player co-op (both online & offline) where you and your crew run around Monaco pulling off badass heists stealing diamonds, important documents, etc. Multiple different classes with different abilities: one of you can hack security systems while the other knocks out guards with chloroform.

	Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm/Legacy of the Void	RTS	Confirmed expansion packs for Starcraft II. Oh joy.	HotS Q1 2013
	The Showdown Effect	Sidescrolling Shooter	This is what happens when the developers of Magicka make a game after watching too many action movies from the 80s and 90s. You know a game is gonna be awesome when the trailer shows you battling a knight in the subway of Tokyo in the future.	TBA
	Wildstar	MMORPG	While it doesn't carry a hard hitting name like Star Wars or Guild Wars and the graphics look corny as fuck, this game seems like it'll have very interesting profession/class choices and may be worth looking into. You can sign up for the beta on the official website.	Beta coming soon (?)
image	Magical Drop V	Fast-paced arcade puzzle	A new entry to the unbalanced but fun as fuck arcade puzzle series from the 90's. It's supposed to come out on steam this summer, but who the fuck knows. Beta versions was approved in June and their other current project, a Toki remix is near completion. I WANT TO BELIEVE.	Summer 2012

PlayStation 3

Title	Genre	Description	Release date
Atelier Ayesha	JRPG	Leaving Arland behind we get to know Ayesha living in a world where alchemy is being forgotten. Ayesha runs a herbalist's workshop with her sister Mio, but one day Mio disappears while out looking for herbs. Being the good onee-chan you are you go out looking for her. Atelier Ayesha is a first in the series that tries to vastly improve the various event scenes with 3D graphics and animations instead of 2D portraits like the Arland series, but miserably fails with the lip-synching. Trailer Warning, no dual audio (thanks Temco Koei).	JP: Out now EU/US: March 2013
Beyond: Two Souls	Interactive movie	David Cage and Quantic Dreams latest PS3 exclusive ~~game~~ movie.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII	Action RPG	The next installment in the Fabula Nova Crystallis compilation of Final Fantasy games, described as an "action role-playing game". Confirmed to have an overworld map and airships that you can pilot, and alleged to be substantially darker and grittier than any of the previous FF titles. Aside of taking place in the same "universe", it will have absolutely nothing to do with Final Fantasy XIII. Has been in development hell for years. “We have no release date information to update," says Kitase. "Unfortunately we can’t say anything about that. We can’t commit ourselves to 2011 either." Development seems to have some overlap with the Kingdom Hearts teams, though. Recent rumours of the game being cancelled have been denied by Square-Enix, who maintain that the game is alive and well. Speculation abound whether it will bear the same title when it finally comes out though.	Never
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle	3D Fighting	The legendary manga series is getting the fighting game treatment once again. It's being developed by CyberConnect2 so expect it to play more like the Naruto games than the Bizarre Adventure we know and love. ~~Will feature characters from the first seven arcs (obviously because the eight one is still being serialized)~~JOJOLION CONFIRMED Gameplay trailer.

The Last Guardian	Action-adventure, puzzle	Another action-adventure experience from developer Team Ico, better known for Ico and Shadow of the Colossus on the PS2.

Fumito Ueda, the guy behind Ico/SotC, left Sony in November 2011; no word on if that has effected development.	"When it's finished"
The Last of Us	Survival Action-adventure	Naughty Dog brings you yet another zombie game.

E3 Demo gameplay	June 14, 2013
The Guided Fate Paradox	SRPG	You are god because you won the lottery or something and must now save the world or something. Kind of a spiritual sequel to Zettai Hero Project.	JP: Out now EU/US: Fall 2013

JP: Feb 28 2013
One Piece Pirate Warriors 2	Action	First game was a hit in Japan and sold enough in Europe to warrant another localization. New playable characters, more parts of the manga/anime story and hopefully less quicktime events this time. Vita version also confirmed for Japan only at the moment.	EU/JP: 2013 US: TBA
Project Diva F	Rhythm	PS3 version of the vita exclusive Project Diva f. Contains 6 new songs, new modules, customization items and an uppercase F in the title. Save data from the vita version will be compatible.	JP: March 7 2013

PlayStation 4

599 US- oh wait. The supposed "future" of gaming is coming soon. You can catch some videos of early game footage HERE. The system is set to release Holiday 2013, but no price or exact date have been set.

Title	Genre	Description	Release Date
Knack	Platformer/Action-Adventure?	A game about a robot-looking critter made of different parts. It seems it can be composed of anything from a small handful of bits to a huge pile of junk, which allows for what looks like small-size stealth to giant-size slugfests. Considered by many to be Pixar-like in appearance, but with a plot about defending humans from an army of goblins. Amusingly, it was the first game revealed for the PS4. Can also be controlled in remote play with Vita.	?
Killzone: Shadow Fall	FPS	Another Killzone game, another handful of unlikely odds at playing as the Helghast. At least this one looks pretty cool; although, it seems some fans feel this entry to be a bit strange, given that they feel the story was nicely wrapped-up with KZ3.	?
Driveclub	Driving/Racing	From Evolution Studios, the devs of World Rally Championship and MotorStorm, is a car-racing game that's said to be 10 years in the making. From a visual standpoint, it's definitely quite impressive, boasting some nifty graphics both of the cars and the racing environments. Looks to be something of a mix to "racing" and "driving", like a franken-combo of Gran Turismo and OutRun. You can challenge other players via in-game invites or with an app made for the game. Settings mentioned were time of day, weather, track, numbers of participants, and types of challenges. The first person view is shown from in the car proper, versus the camera being on the front hood.	?
Infamous: Second Son	Action-Sandbox	Sucker Punch's newest super-human game. 7 years after the events with Cole McGrath, society and government have taken a turn for the worse, especially regarding individuals possessing super powers. Those considered "bio-terrorists" are hunted down and detained by the government. You play as a new protagonist, Delsin Rowe, who's recently awoken his powers to direct, manipulate and transform into smoke (and fragmented particles, it seems). Powers shown so far include a sort of teleporting (scattering into particles, quickly moving, and reforming) "fire-balls" (which look more like clusters of sparks), and a familiar looking whirlwind (though non-electrical). SP has noted that you'll be searching for other superhumans and trying to protect your loved ones. As before, choices made will influence not only Delsin, but those around him as well.	?
deep down	RPG?	From fucking Capcom, a new IP with a game that has aspects of Dragon's Dogma. <ade with theirnew ~~panty raid~~ Panta Rhei engine. Expect medieval swords and sorcery, dragons, and all that good shit. It seems this may have some "social" aspects, as a sort of fake S.O.S. message was shown of Blanka asking Ono for help.	?
unnamed Final Fantasy title	RPG?	"HURR DURR, more info at E3, guize." Will supposedly be a "new" game.	?

Playstation Vita

So the Vita is out, if you're interested in DA FOOTURE OF GAYMING then pick this up, there's already some neat ports and original titles for it.

Title	Genre	Description	Release Date
Atelier Totori Plus	RPG	Updated port of the PS3 game. Has "Additional costumes, illustrations, and alchemy recipes" and apparently "downloadable characters from the PS3 game will be enabled in Atelier Totori Plus". No mention of cross-game saves was noted, so don't get too excited for that. If you've never played it, it's "arguably" the most well-rounded of the Arland Trilogy of Atelier games, though opinions are a bit split on that. Evidently, a Special edition will include a Vita decal and a... paperweight? Yeah, I'm lost, too.	JP: Out Now US: Hopefully soon has they have localised their other games
Dead or Alive 5 Plus	Jiggle simu- SERIOUS fightan gaem	"fans began to express interest in having it on the go" "We do not want the Vita port be seen by players as being inferior to the console versions, so we want to keep the game’s high-quality visuals and have it run silky smooth." For once, we have a reason for a port. Thankfully, it has new features, too, such as advanced training modes/details, a first person mode for fighting, and "touch-screen interaction" with characters. Will also use Vita’s ad-hoc and infrastructure network features.	JP: Soon US: March 19th EU: 22nd March
Dragon's Crown	Beat 'Em Up	Similar to olden medieval beat 'em ups, like Golden Axe and Dungeons and Dragons arcade, hell, it's even led by a member who was a part of the Shadows over Mysteria team! 6 character types, each with different builds, strengths, and weaknesses. It seems you may be able to ride creatures, but the in-depth aspects are for the most part unknown. What we do know is that you can take on lots of quests, 4 player co-op between both PS3 and PSVita, the claim of a "nearly endless online adventure”, and you can even build up your own character in some way. Vanillaware is developing and doing art, and it looks sexy as fuck.	Spring 2013
Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable	TPS	Giant bugs are invading the earth! Are you a bad enough dude to save the earth? Has a some extra content over the original console version (more missions. etc.), and some once-removed features coming back, like the Palewing (pictured; a flying "jet hero"-esque fighter who uses an electric laser), along with local and online multiplayer. Quietly confirmed for overseas. Also, a new one is coming out as well, but very little is known about that.	JP: now US: 02/12/13
Final Fantasy X	RPG	Remake or graphics update of the PS2 classic. That's all we know. HA HA HA HA HA. Hopefully comes with a free desktop.	TBA
Legend of Heroes: Zero No Kiseki Evolution	RPG	Probably never leaving Japan, but what the hell. Upgraded remake of the PSP RPG, let the music tell you why it's good.	JP: Now
Malicious Rebirth	Hack N Slash	Port of the japanese PSN game for PS3. Slash through huge hordes of enemies, punch giant monsters like motherfucking Fist of the North Star or even impale them with your lance while flying around like a Super Saiyan. Has some stylish visuals and looks rather interesting. No release dates yet nor localization announcements but keep your fingers crossed. Gameplay Sample (it's the PS3 version shown but the Vita version won't be any different)	JP: Now US/JP: ?
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus	Jiggle simu- SERIOUS ninjan gaem	An enhanced port, much like the first Sigma Plus. Looks much better than the first (which was an XBOX game) and has transitioned quite well to the Vita. The ninja gals have new costumes and new mission, and "Hero" difficulty (auto guard at low HP) comes back for the casual in you. Like the first, optional front and rear touch and motion control options can be used. New features are "Tag Mission mode" (control 2 ninjas, swap control on the fly, while the other is AI-controlled) and "Ninja Race", where you race enemies to a goal, cutting shit down and and picking up goods to go faster and hit harder. While all content from PS3 NGS2 is here, will motion-jiggle make the cut?	JP: Soon US: Feb 26th EU: 1st March
Oboro Muramasa (Vita)	Platformer w/ RPG elements	A port of the Wii game. Not much else is known, other than it will have everything from Wii, but it will also have new DLC, which will have voice-overs and voice-acting for the characters. Though this video is low quality (360p, what the fuck man?) You can get a rough idea of what to expect IN THE FUTURE.Confirmed to be brought to US by aksys with the name Muramasa Rebirth.	JP: Soon
Soul Sacrifice	Action RPG	Keiji Inafune's baby. Sacrifice your organs to build weapons and use magic, abuse it and you'll turn into a monster. Awesome concept and neat gameplay from the looks of it, very promising. You can also ghost it up if you die and your allies can revive you via pricey means.	JP: Q3 2012, US: 03/13/13
Tokushu Houdoubu	Adventure	Nippon Ichi's 20th Anniversary game for Vita. You are a reporter and investigate cases about UFOs and ghosts and other paranormal stuff. True story.	JP: Now
Ys: Memories of Celceta	Action RPG	New entry for the best Action RPG series almost no one played. Reimagination of Ys IV, the same way Oath In Felghana did for Ys III. Uses the Ys Seven engine, will have better storytelling, rearranged music and of course visuals updated to 3D polygons. Adds new moves to Adol's repertoire like Flash Step and Fatal Blow. In addition, skills will be learned in a Romancing SaGa style, i.e. seemingly-randomly and in mid-battle, but with greater odds the more skilled your weapon usage is. Localization confirmed by XSEED. Newest trailer	NA: Fall 2013

Xbox 360

As you can see, Microsoft is giving less of a fuck about their Xbox less and less every year. Little to no games or any of that shit here folks, just dangling on the multiplatform crowd, sadly.

	Gears of War : Judgement	Third Person Shooter	"Gears of War: Judgment" takes you back before events of the original "Gears of War" trilogy to the immediate aftermath of Emergence Day - the defining event of the "Gears of War" universe. Follow Kilo Squad, led by Damon Baird and Augustus "The Cole Train" Cole, as they fight to save the city of Halvo Bay from an unstoppable enemy in the most intense 'Gears' game yet.	March 2013

Kinect

Remember when we made fun of Kinect at E3. Good times! But now Microsoft stepped it up a bit with some pretty impressive titles that actually made us want to get the Kinect surprisingly, during Tokyo Game Show 2010. If you do consider getting a Kinect, be on the look out for these titles.

	Ryse	?	A 360 (possibly PC too) exclusive from Crytek, the creators of Crysis. Set in ancient Rome. (Probably a slasher). Kinect support.	TBA

	Crimson Dragon	Racing???	Riders on a bunch of furries and dragons. Not much is known, so we're praying that it's gonna be more along the lines of the Panzer Dragoon series.	TBA

Box	Title	Genre	Description	Release date
	Dragon Quest X	RPG w/ MMO aspects	The big wait for fans is over, as DQ10 has been revealed. Quite a bit has been modified over traditional norms, making it something like a suped-up version of 9, but even more expanded and expansive. The game requires you to be online to play, yet lets you give and receive help from others. There's still quite a bit to reveal, but we do know that the main game will be significantly longer than 9's, and more huge than 8, which was massive. Check here for all the currently known details. The Wii U version will have extra graphical power over the Wii version. However, it seems you can send your save data over to the Wii U and continue right from where you left off in the Wii version. This game may or may not come over, especially with the Wii U version out and all.	JP: Out now. World: ?

Wii U

Off to an fairly neat start so far. Recent demo reel of games

Box Art	Title	Genre	Description	Release Date
	Bayonetta 2	Action-Adventure/Being fabulous	Bayonetta is back, and still looking good. Or so they say. Exclusively on the Wii U, but who knows if that'll change. (Sony and MS are being dicks, so not likely.)Trailer	TBA 2013

Also, you can use the Tablet controller for off-screen play, keyboard, and possibly other stuff.	JP: March 2013 Worldwide: Unknown
	Lego City: Undercover	Freeroaming/Sandbox	Basically Lego GTA, will be awesome.	March 18, 2013
	The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD	Action/Adventure	That's it. Everyone's favorite Zelda (ok, not really) is getting a complete remake in HD! Will feature Off TV Play, Miiverse and a rebalanced gameplay. Based in current screenshots, it seems that cel-shadding is gone in favor of more dynamic lightning and shading, but it may change in the final game.	TBA 2013
Wait for E3.	Mario Kart Wii U	Racing	Iwata has stated in a Nintendo Direct that the next Mario Kart is being developed ~~wow, how surprising~~ and that there'll be a playable demo at E3 2013. That's all.	TBA
	Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate	Jaggies Everywhere	The one game NOBODY expected. Essentially a BOOSTED version of 3G (200 quests, touch-screen inventory and map functionality, and a "guild card" that can be swapped with other players) which was already a step up from MH3 to begin with. Cross-play and cross-save compatibility is the biggest addition. Play on one version and continue on another. Although the 3DS version is local-multiplayer only, the Wii U version can play online like MH3 on Wii could, but whether a 3DS can cross-play and join an online session via a sort of ad-hoc is unknown (and perhaps unlikely). Either way, both will release simultaneously in NA and Europe, so you can pal it up with the PALs and uh... play with Americans. Touch-screen via tablet is almost a given and Classic Pro Controller U support is in. Graffix are also touched up. just look at them cleaner textures for the boxes and shit.	JP: Out now NA: March 19 2013 EU: March 22 2013
	PIKMIN THREE	RTS	Do you know what this is? IT'S PIKMIN 3. All the adventuring, collecting, and combat you love (and by combat I mean swarming enemies and letting pikmin clusterfuck it to death) in 'AYTCH DEE! THIS MAKES ME HARDER THAN THOSE NEW ROCK PIKMIN.	JP, NA: Spring 2013 EU: TBA 2013
	Rayman Legends	Platformer	Sequel to Origins. Pretty much revamped all the way for the better, especially in the graphics department. Will have online multiplayer (though that may be limited to mini-games) with Ghost Races (time-trials) and challenges between players, new characters, and supposedly Wii-U touch pad support for obstacles in the game, along with using figurines on the touch pad for unlocking, uh, stuff. At least we know you can punch Rabbids in the junk. An Ezio figure was hinted, but who knows what it does. Demo is out on eShop.	US: Feb 26 2013 EU: Feb 28 2013
	Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem	Probably a RPG	Aw shit, nigga. The only information available is that it's being made by Atlus and Intelligent Systems, so expect it to be a turn based RPG. And no Purse Owner for you.	TBA
	Smash Bros. Wii U	Fighting	Apparently You-Know-Who has got pretty neat plans. Nothing solid is known yet, but it will have relations to Smash Bros. 3DS. Rumors are that this one will be more fighting and tourney-ish over the 3DS game though, so Melee fans may want to be prepared. Update! Sakurai and Bandai Namco have joined forces for BOTH new Smashes. Prepare your wallets, because who knows what might happen this time around. ~~Will probably be featured in E3 2013~~ Confirmed to be at E3 2013.	It doesn't matter, will be delayed anyawys.
Wait for E3, faggot.	~~Super Mario Universe~~ Your average Super Mario 3D platforming game	Platform	Iwata has stated in a Nintendo Direct that the next Mario 3D is being developed ~~wow, how surprising~~ and that there'll be a playable demo at E3 2013. That's all.	TBA
	The Wonderful 101	Strategy/Beat 'em up	Previously known as "Project P-100", it's Viewtiful Joe meets Pikmin and it's being made by Platinum Games? Doesn't have that over the top feeling of their other games, but might be cool. You use your powers to help fend off an alien invasion, recruit other citizens and turn THEM into superheroes as well. You can combine into various forms, such as gathering together to form giant fists, swords, guns, and sometimes other things like chains and ladders to get to places everyone can't reach normally. Gameplay trailer The extra "1"? That is YOU.	TBA 2013
	X (project name)	RPG	I can't even describe this. Fuck. Made by the awesome Monolith Soft.	TBA
	Yarn Yoshi (tentative title)	Platform	Yoshi's Island + Kirby's Epic Yarn. Made by KEY's devs as well.	TBA
