Upcoming Games

This page is a work in progress and will be continuously revised. Please note that some titles are expected for release through 2011 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, Xbox 360, and/or Wii)

Box	Title	Genre	Description	Release date	Coming out on
	Anarchy Reigns	Fighting/Multiplayer	JACK IS BACK (in full color)! A spiritual sequel to MadWorld on Wii, there's both multi- and single-player. Tag Team, Battle Royal, and other online modes and challenges are MP. SP has Jack in a mission/sandbox story, and in a world that's a literal dystopia. The world has "landforms and gimmicks", but will "change in real time" with collapsing structures, rampaging vehicles, and natural disasters(!). It will have a MadWorld-like soundtrack, with the MCs returning to rock the mike. The characters shown are playable in multiplayer, but will be Jack's rivals in single-player. More characters and videos at Platinum's site.	July 2012	360, PS3
	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. Edit: Michael Ancel now says BGE2 will be on future hardware. http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/08/michel-ancel-on-beyond-good-and-evil-2-im-waiting-for-it-as-much/	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.	2012	PC, PS3, 360
	Borderlands 2	RPG/FPS	Direct Sequel to the 2009 game Borderlands. Only recently announced, so very little is known except that it will feature different characters and still take place on Pandora, the planet from the first game.	2012	PC, PS3, 360
	Dead or Alive 5	Fighting	New entry to the DoA series, but this time without the lead of Tomonobu Itagaki. Not much is known yet, but is said that the environment will be lot a more interactive. Some gameplay could be seen in this pre-alpha gameplay teaser. A playable demo will come with the launch copies of Ninja Gaiden III.	2012	360, PS3
	Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People Die	Visual Novel/Mystery	Fans of 999 asked Uchikochi, writer for Ever17 and, of course, 999, if there will ever be a sequel. He gave a vague answer saying "maybe". And out of nowhere, here it is! Looks more interesting than the DS game before it. Trailer here. Not on the big 3 consoles+PC, but multi-console for 3DS and Vita.	TBA	3DS, Vita
	Final Fantasy XIII-2	JRPG	Direct sequel to FFXIII, and features Lightning returning in super awesome/sexy armor. Will be more item and town-centric, with nice rewards to find for exploration, factors which were lacking in the first. E32011 confirmed Mass Effect-like dialogue choices which will alter the storyline (the extent is unknown). Serah, Noel, Alyssa, and Mog, a Moogle, seem to compose one party, while Lightning is super leveled and seems to do her own thing, as she was shown fighting Chaos Bahamut with Odin as an ally. Also, there's Chocobo Racing.	January 31, 2011	PS3, 360
	Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning	Action RPG	Looks to be damn cool. What's really neat is the tasty triple sundae of creativity behind it. Ken Rolston (Morrowind and Oblivion) is lead designer. R.A. Salvatore (The DemonWars Saga and Forgotten Realms novels) does the game universe and lore. Todd McFarlane (Spawn universe and other art) rounds it up with artwork and art design. Top it off with 38 Studios and Big Huge Games (Rise of Nations) doing the game development, and this seems mighty delicious. being funded by Curt Schilling. EA has no influence on the design. They're just marketing and publishing. You are an asshole if you pirate it.	Early 2012	PS3, 360, PC
	Mass Effect 3	Dating Sim/Action RPG	The third and final installment of the Mass Effect series, one of the most anticipated games of 2011.	March 6, 2012	PS3, 360, PC
	Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance	Hack and Slash	Ignoring the goofy name, this game seems like it'll be absolutely glorious. It's made 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 MGS 4 and follows Raiden on his CRAZY cyborg ninja adventures.	2012?	PS3, 360 and has a rumored PC release
	Persona 4: The Ultimate	Fighting	Persona 4 fightan gaem with some P3 characters (Aegis, Mitsuru and Akihiko confirmed). Will be a joint project with Arc System, you know there's no way they're going to screw this one up (don't think we forgot what you did, Cave). Sadly no other characters from other SMT titles will appear. Sorry fans of the main series	TBA	PS3, 360
	Shank 2	Beat 'Em Up/Run 'N Gun/Platformer	Not satisfied with Shank, mercenaries have come after his community. As expected, Shank aims to take it personal and, as always, aims to kill. What's the edge over Shank 1, though? Stages? Better, bigger, longer, and now have citizens to save, for a Shinobi/Ninja Five-O edge. Shank's moveset? New moves, weapons, and snatch-able enemy weapons (even mid-fight!) for NEW movesets! The engine? ENTIRELY REMADE FROM SCRATCH to be way better: 360 degree gun aiming, reconstructed hit frames, and much more responsive. Co-Op story's scrapped for the new Co-Op Survival Mode. Team up with Shank's old Danny Trejo-esque buddy, Falcone, or a new female character. That mode even has a real-time (in-game money) store to restock on goods like turrets and air-strikes. To top all this off, there's twice the amount of animation from the first.	Early 2012, but will be confirmed on the blog.	PS3 confirmed, 360 and Steam/PC likely?
	Silent Hill: Downpour	Survival horror, psychological horror	The eighth main installment (seventh excluding the Silent Hill: Shattered Memories reimagining) into the popular survival horror franchise. Series veteran composer Akira Yamaoka will not return to provide the soundtrack for this title. Daniel Licht, better known for composing the television series Dexter, will replace him this time around. Side missions will be available depending on the player's actions.	2011	PS3, 360
	Spec Ops: The Line	Third-person shooter	The ninth installment in the Spec Ops franchise and the latest release in the series in nearly nine years. This third-person shooter places an emphasize on squad-based tactics and features a randomized sandstorm system which dynamically alters the terrain.	2012	PS3, 360, PC
	Soul Calibur V	3D Fighting	The Soul Calibur series skips to the next generation, taking place 17 years after IV. Not everyone has been confirmed, and while some fan-faves return, some have been by replaced their sons, daughters, and pupils (though they play very much like the characters you knew and love). A few absentees also return. The newest guest star dropped everyone's jaw. Also, DamPierre confirmed. Prepare to laugh and/or rage hard in the future. For technical players, learn more about mechanics and create-a-soul here.	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.	2012	360, PS3, PC
	XCOM	FPS	A reboot of the original X-COM series, you are an FBI agent whose job is to destroy an unknown extraterrestrial threat.	March 6, 2012	PS3, 360, PC

Nintendo DS

Sadly, these are the last two major DS-exclusive release worth giving a shit about. Everything else is multi-console, and it is HIGHLY unlikely we will see Fabstyle or Metal Max 2 ReLoaded outside of Japan, along with nothing else that isn't casual shovelware. Good bye, DS. You served us well. DS confirmed for being on life-support.

Screenshot	Title	Genre	Description	Release Date
	Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2	Strategy / RPG	Devil Survivor 2 boasts an entirely new cast, now in blue flavor with GRAVITY TITS! Instead of being confined to a single area you can travel to the many cities of Japan in an attempt to repel the invading demons. Decide which characters join your side and build bonds with them with a Social Link-like system since "forming strong friendships increases battle effectiveness". Certain choices lead to permadeath of characters. Also, multiple endings confirmed.	JP: Out now, US: February 2012
	Inazuma Eleven 2: Firestorm / Blizzard	Soccer / RPG	Sequel to the first Inazuma Eleven. Europe's finally getting it soon, the plot is kids from a Jr. High in space are taking over Japan with Soccer. Raimon won't let this go down, so they tour Japan to build up their team and save the country. Comes in two versions, Firestorm, and Blizzard, each with a different final enemy and potential team members. Adds Wi-Fi matches and another five hundred potential team members, so you can play against your bros over the internet and see who's team is better. If it's anything like the first, it'll add a ton of little tweaks from the third game like the first did with the second when it was localized.	JP: Already out. EU: Q1 2012
	Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition	Tactics SRPG	Yeah, this exists. An official crossover by Nintendo, Pokemon Company, and Tecmo Koei. Gameplay shows a turn-based tactics RPG with Pokemon fighting in place of warlords and generals. Various environmental hazards, tricks, traps, and gimmicks are present in addition to the various attacks and attack types of typical Pokemon RPGs. Will it be good? Hard to say because nobody saw this coming, but it looks interesting. Will it come overseas? No official word has been given. Still, both Tecmo Koei and Pokemon games tend to come over, and it'd be a smart business move for both to bring it over.	JP: 2012 Others: ???

Nintendo 3DS

Screenshot	Title	Genre	Description	Release Date
	Animal Crossing	Sims	The same old Animal Crossing you have known since the Gamecube (N64 if you're an importer). This time instead of being a typical neighbor you're the FUCKING MAYOR THIS TIME. That's right! The art style is different as well. Hopefully, you can have the authority to boot out that damn Tom Nook for all the shit he's put you through.	TBA
	Class of Heroes 3D	RPG	Maybe not quite like that to the left. If you haven't heard of this series yet, it's an official unoffical Wizardry spin-off. Officially. As such, expect lots of huge dungeons, traps, and mobs of monsters attacking you. Of course, with multiple fantasy races, classes, customization, skills, spells, synthesis, and so much more, the odds may be evenly matched. Sadly, unless Atlus or XSeed give us the magic word, it's unlikely we'll see it localized.	JP: Already out. Rest of the world: TBA
	Chocobo Racing 3D	Racing	A new Chocobo racing game akin to the PS1 game. Seems different from the old one, but still looks fun. Look forward to it if you liked the previous one. Hopefully this will also have DEM GLORIOUS MUSICAL REMIXES. Update: Recent screenshots have shown a curious item-based system. Not sure how this will affect races though. However, it also seems that the Chocobo Racing proper will be done with characters on the backs of our feathery friends.	TBA
	Colors 3D	Application/Art-makin'	The original Colors began as a freeware app way back when. It first gained fame among the flash-card crowd on DS. Now it's to be officially available on the eShop with added features! If you've never messed with a version of it before, it's pretty damn cool, allowing lots of creative options thanks to the user-friendly setup. New to this version are "3D painting" (which should be interesting), a fully integrated gallery, and collaborative painting for up to 4 players (assuming you all have a 3DS with the app, but maybe different, dunno yet). Price has yet to be announced, but given how it's free or cheap in other mediums, don't expect anything too high. Worth it anyways.	Q1 2012 (all regions)
	Crush 3D	Puzzle/Platforming	A remixed revision of the PSP underdog, Crush. It's been revised to be a bit more clearer and cartoon-like versus the twisted sinister feel of the original, but the concept remains the same: change your viewpoint and -CRUSH- the world from 3D to 2D to 3D to 2D and so on as puzzles require. It "sounds" simple, but there's a great number of obstacles you must contend with as well with more thrown your way with each and every world you encounter. One thing's for sure, it's a great game concept to put on 3DS if nothing more.	January 10th 2012 (NA), 13 January 2012 (EU)
	Dillon's Rolling Western	Adventure/RTS/Defense	THE OL' WEST. This seems to be a very interesting integration of strategy, beat 'em up, and adventure, since you rolls around venturing for materials and items, build and upgrade traps and machines to protect your town with, and take on enemies and bosses with Sonic/Goron-like spin dashes and close-combat. The trailer makes the world seem quite expansive and the aesthetics seem rather Zelda-like with similar fonts and cel-shaded looks. Will be an eShop title.	US and EU: Q1 2012
	Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights	Puzzle/Adventure/RPG?	A LOT of people ragged on this for being a Layton rip-off and weren't too keen on it, but it did seem a bit interesting for some reason. Turns out, outside of a some full-screen type puzzles, it's much more of an adventure game than anything. Maybe Konami was just trying to get attention? One thing's for sure, it's definitely something else. Of particular interest is how the Paris of the past is reflected in curious ways. Could be cool. Nintendo Power has mentioned the game is okay. Good and solid in some parts, but needs work in others.	US: December 2011
	Dragon Quest Heroes: Slime Morimori 3/Rocket Slime 2	Action-Adventure/Giant Vehicle Battlan	Rocket Slime returns, and slips over to 3DS. This time, instead of tanks, you fight pirates with gigantic battleships. Looks to offer more customization to your vehicle, much more areas to explore, and a less GBA look to it. Also, WI-FI BATTLAN. Show the world online that you're master of the seas.	Q4 2011
	Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry's Wonderland 3D	RPG/Monster/Nostalgia	A remake of the first DQM. Has ALL the monsters from DQMJ2Pro plus new ones (tallying at 500). Will have new story aspects, too. The randomized roguelike-style dungeons return, yet have a 3D oriented Joker-like exploration. Like Joker, you also use Scouting instead of meat (although meat-like items were available in DQMJ2, thus likely here, too). Will have 4-on-4 battles, which means teams of 4 normal mons (4 slots), 2 big ones (2+2), or a giant one and a normal one (3+1). You can also use Terry's scouting skills in battle. Online and multiplayer have yet to be fully detailed. More info and screens to come at Jump Festa.	JP 2012
	Dynasty Warriors Vs.	Beat 'Em Up/Strategy	Unlike Samurai Warriors, it will attempt to better keep the more 1 vs 100 scale of the consoles. Also, "This installment has 3D graphics and a four person multiplayer mode." Local-only, online? No info yet. What a pain. Until then, stare at the horrible crop job to the right (made from separate pictures of the same screen, but that's how it came, sorry), and get... excited? It'd help if we knew more, but... we don't.	JP: February 2012
	Fractured Souls: Deep Void	Platformer/Shooter	Amazing looking dual screen platformer from Australia! It's essentially a game where you play two Metroid-esque platformers at the same time, switching from the top to bottom screen to avoid traps and pitfalls hence "fractured soul". Check out early footage from the game here. Coming to Nintendo 3DS as it has been moved from DS. Should be interesting to see how it's grown since then. Also features horizontal shmup sections it seems.	Early 2012
	KAIO: King of Pirates	Action RPG	The first of a pirate-theme planned TRILOGY, and strangely has an OFFICIALLY subtitled trailer, despite not even being out in Japan. 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.	JP: Next Year. US: ?
	Kid Icarus: Uprising	TPS	A new entry in the series meant as a love letter to the damn patient fans. The main action is a rail shooter / 3rd person shooter hybrid, but it seems dungeons are still present. Medusa is reborn and Pit is given wings to fly and shoot his enemies as well as ground-combat. Recently, a fuck ton of weapons have been revealed, both projectile and melee based. Also, there's some new dude who's like Guts with a bigass sword, but Greek. Multiplayer will have 3-on-3 Centurion fights, also with a redesign. Also, an AR cards, which aren't a real game, but fun to look at. A left-handed contol option will also be available.	US: March 23rd 2012 EU: March 2012
	Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance	Action RPG	Happens after KHII, and leads into III. Newly-costumed Sora and Riku, each with unique skills, both are in another world, so no Goofy and Donald for the most part. Instead you tame Dream Eaters (dream world heartless equivalent) of several types, each having different stats and skills. Has a battle system very much like Birth by Sleep. Notre Dame, Three Musketeers, Tron (Legacy) and Pleasure Island are confirmed, and Nomura has said outside of a few KH-specific worlds, ALL Disney worlds will be new akin to efforts seen in a main title. Also, characters from The World Ends with You play important roles. What that exactly means is yet to be confirmed.	TBA
	Luigi's Mansion 2	Adventure/Survival "Horror"	Unexpectedly, 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.	January 3rd, 2012
	Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater 3D	Stealth Action	Metal Gear returns to Nintendo with a remix of one of their finest. Looks good as far as the gameplay goes and graphics look neat as well. Lots of environments have been graphically 3D'd to get you in the game. The gyro sensor will be used as you help Snake balance on easy-to-fall-from surfaces. ‘Photo Camo’ lets you snap a photo IRL, and use the same image as a camouflage pattern in-game. You can swap weapons and items on the fly with the touch screen. Kojima notes you can duck and walk at the same time. Impressions have been mixed, as this one seems oddly inferior to the PS2 versions. Hopefully Kojima will slap his staff's shit and they'll perfect it before launch.	US: Delayed to March 13th, 2012
	Mighty Switch Force	Platformer/Puzzle	Law-enforcer Patricia Wagon stars in WayForward's newest "Mighty" series entry. It's her job to take down Space Hooligans. Unlike previous "Mighty" heroines, Officer Wagon prefers a direct gun-based means of dealing with enemies. The game has Metroid-like stages seamlessly mixing action and puzzle, with a "switch" mechanic meant to utilize blocks via 3D with surprising results. Like past games, Matt Bozon teases that timed boss fights will play an neat role with the mechanic. This is meant to recapture the "repeat appeal" of NES run n' guns. "The team is made up entirely of Contra 4 veterans, so expect ample fiery explosions and crunchy sound effects."	December 2011 in EU, AU, and US!
	Monster Hunter Tri G	Action/Adventure/HUNTAN	A remixed port of the Wii's MH entry. Has Circle Pad Pro support, tapping the touch screen will let you auto-turn towards a monster, though not auto-aim. Probably won't come out overseas, but here's hoping. Some monsters from MHP3 will be in, so this isn't a straight port. No online, local wireless only, however there will be downloadable missions. These will probably replace the online missions or just be them in a DLC form. You can also send Streetpass'd hunters you've met to repeat quests you've finished before and you can buy the rewards off of them. Kinda cool to grind up gear, but without grinding. Japan is getting a downloadable demo. 2 quests and the basics in everything else. Supposedly the demo stops working after 30 times played.	JP: Out now
	Mutant Mudds	Platformer	Started as a 3D platformer DS(i), and is now a (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EgFvaGm-lY "12-bit" 2D platformer]) by Renegade Kid, known for the DS FPS games Dementium 1+2 and Moon. You control Max with his water blaster and jetpack as he combats the Mudds. There will be a Virtual Boy Wario Land-esque swapping between THREE platforming planes in levels! Impressions have been quite positive, and the devs stated this will be quite the challenge and have "very well hidden" secrets and secret levels. Will be in the eShop for a planned $9.99. Official Site	US: Delayed to Q1 2012.
	Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword	Action-Adventure/Beat 'Em Up?	A.K.A. "Hirari Sakura Samurai". A samurai game with Wind Waker/Okami aesthetics and Goemon-like world and shop setup. A dude gets his sword blessed by a Kappa's magic cherry blossom, and he's out to kick evil asses with quick-draw swordplay. Dodge attacks with the slide pad and counter-attack with buttons. Like Punch-out, you wait/dodge until an opening appears, then strike to make foes bleed petals and money. However, you have to deal with multiple foes, and shit like bombs and arrows, so it ain't all tea and onigiri. You can also fill a gauge to unleash a super attack. Not related to "Riddle of Murasame Castle", but more of a spiritual cousin.	US: January 2012, EU: ???
	Paper Mario 3DS	RPG	The 3D effects will work with puzzles and Mario may have temporary partners like a Chain Chomp buddy (though it seems he'll do most of the fighting alone against larger numbers of foes)! Stickers will be used in gameplay kind of like badges, and in the overworld slightly like Little Big Planet. Battle Chance is a new feature. "Paper" aspects are also remixed, with a new scissor item, fans which blow away enemies, enemies who roll up into spiked forms, and so on. The world is much more like a mix of the original and second games over the hi-fi sugar bomb stuff of the 3rd and parts of the second.	TBA (STILL!)
	Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle	Puzzle	Professor Layton, except that the 2D sprites are replaced with 3D models and obviously the puzzles will utilize the 3D effects. Storywise, it's the second prequel game in the Professor Layton series. It might take a while to get over here since there's alot to translate. Tentatively announced as Professor Layton 5 in Europe.	EU: "2012"
	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. Proof here 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.	TBA
	Resident Evil: Revelations	TPS	The next Resident Evil game for the 3DS. The graphics look sexy on it and it will have the same kind of gameplay as Resident Evil 4/5. Looks really promising. Reports have said that you have to beat the main story to unlock online mode. Damnit, Capcom. Will also have Circle Pad Pro support and be released in Europe alongside this (although a bundle pack is unknown for now).	US: Feb 7th, EU: 27th January 2012
	Rhythm Thief & the Emperor’s Treasure	Rhythm / Music	Your MC, Raphael/Phantom Thief, is basically a fusion of Michael Jackson and Lupin the 3rd, which is entirely honest. A rhythm game using the 3DS' different functions in various ways as you steal art in Paris, France. Not as easy as it sounds, as there's many different forces against you. SEGA is also "teaming up with famous artists for the game’s music". Have a theme song and get hyped. TGS trailer now available, which looks and sounds fucking rad. Even more gameplay footage is out, now showing that Raphael/Phantom Thief isn't the only character you play as either! English voices are a little soft, but at least we're getting it.	US and EU: 2012 ("Early 2012")
	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: ? 2012
	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.	Unknown
	Tales of the Abyss	RPG	Tales of the FREAKIN' Abyss. A huge PS2 RPG game ported to the 3DS. Hopefully comes with wireless multiplayer (probably not, though). Already confirmed by Europe to be a damn good rearrangement of a pretty damn good game. Also, load times have been significantly cut down from the PS2 version, which is great.	February 14th, 2012, winter for Europe
	Tekken 3D	Fighting	Tekken pops back on Nintendo after a long absence. Over 40 characters on one card ready to brawl. Runs at a full 60 FPS in 2D OR 3D mode, unlike some other games which go to 30 FPS with 3D on. Namco will try for a "more realistic and dynamic Tekken" thanks to 3D, so that could be cool. Will supposedly be released with "a few surprises". One of them is a 90-minute 3D movie right in the card, which actually looks pretty damn good and takes place between 5 and 6.	EU: Q1 2012 , US: February 2012
picture?	Zone of the Enders 3DS	Action	Barely confirmed by Kojima's tweets, but definitely happening. Not much is known about the game at the moment, all we know is that it is happening and it will be FUCKING GLORIOUS.	TBA

December 2011

	Natural Selection 2	FPS	The sequel to the Half Life 1 mod, Natural Selection. In Natural Selection 2, marines battle aliens in an intense and action-packed struggle for survival. Natural Selection 2 may become THE multiplayer PC game - it supports dedicated servers, mods and uses a scalable, new engine for stunning lighting effects.	TBA

PlayStation 3

Box	Title	Genre	Description	Release date
	Atelier Meruru	RPG/Alchemizing	Get fucking hyped. Damn near right after Totori is released, we have this kickass announcement. This is arguably the "best" of the three Arland games, so if you're new, it may be the one you want to get over the others. For those familiar with this franchise, this is a welcome surprise. More expansive, refined, and with more stuff to do than the last game. Until release, watch some Japanese version gameplay footage and get your fapping hand wallet ready.	Spring 2012
	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. “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."	TBA
	Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2	RPG	Opinions were mixed about the first, but this one is all around improved. So much so that it's good enough for even Neptunia newcomers to enjoy. You don't need to play the first one to enjoy this. Combat is all new and much better, and there's now item synthesis and usable items in battle. One, uh... "interesting" factor is the Lily System, an ally-relationship system which affects allies, battle performance, events, and endings. There's pretty much something for everyone to enjoy. If you just flat out hate it for no reason, well...	Spring 2012
	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. Many thematics from their previous titles are expected to return in this latest installment.	2012
	Ni no kuni	RPG/Adventure	Level-5 and Studio Ghibli collaborating to make an RPG. Go check it out, it looks amazing. Supposedly, this will have optional (?) PSMove support to emulate the DS method of drawing out for runic-spellcasting.	March 2012
	Sly 4: Thieves In Time	Stealthy Racoons being stealthy	FUCK YEAR NEW SLY GAME! Not being made by Sucker Punch sadly, but by Sanzaru Games, the people who made the fucking awesome Sly Collection on the PS3. There are some videos and images on the project, but not too much more has been revealed since E3 2011. We do know that you meet up with some of Sly's ancestors.	2012
	Starhawk	Probably like Warhawk	Another new cool sequel shown at E3 2011, Starhawk is a sort of follow up to the awesome PS3 launch game Warhawk. Expect some awesome shit going on, broskis.	February 1st, 2012
	Tales of Graces F	Action RPG	One of the few Team Destiny games to make it over since Tales of Eternia. A lot different than most other Tales games. Offers an over the shoulder view. Localization effort actually spawned by numerous fan requests. When devs were asked whether it was coming out on PS3 or Wii, they simply responded "We are looking into it". As one can guess, there's a number of improvements over the original.	2012
image	Twisted Metal (2012)	Vehicular Combat	Fast paced gameplay guaranteed to kick your ass. Did I mention it has helicopters?	Feb 14 2012
	Yakuza: Dead Souls	Action/Adventure	Yakuza with zombies. No, really.	March 2012

Playstation Move

Box Art	Title	Genre	Description	Release Date
	Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD	First/Third Person Shooter	HOLY SHIT YES! According to Eurogamer.net: "it enhances the original Xbox game with 720p visuals, more detailed characters, normal mapping and self-shadowing, re-mastered dialogue, support for PlayStation Move and additional bonus material yet to be revealed." Also: PSN EXCLUSIVE, YO. Here is a summary of the original description from our Xbox page: You are Stranger, a bounty hunter saving his money for a mysterious operation. The gameplay is a blend of first and third person shooting, and adventure. Hunts down bounties using a crossbow loaded with literally LIVE ammo, each type of ammo-critter having a different set of abilities. Will supposedly be compatible with the PSVita, along with some other Oddworld games which may show up on it.	Worldwide: December 27

PlayStation Portable

Box Art	Title	Genre	Description	Release Date
	7th Dragon 2020	RPG	Sequel to the DS game. Dragon Quest meets Etrian Odyssey, this time set in an apocalyptic near future. Create a party of 3 people between five classes (Samurai, Trickster, Destroyer, Psychic and Hacker) and set out to kill dragons before the entire human race is wiped from existence. This time though, you pick from a set of 10 characters and then choose their classes and voice actors. Confirmed to have a DIVA soundtrack mode, which is the OST (by Yuzo Koshiro) sung by Hatsune Miku. The original didn't leave Japan because of low sales so this one may not either, but there's still hope of it.	JP: November 23rd 2011
	Cardboard Senki	RPG	A game all about a model-robot fighting in a cardboard environment. You are able to buy models, parts, and upgrades as well in a JRPG made by Level 5.	TBA
	Grand Knights Story	SRPG	Odin Sphere and Muramasa developer Vanillaware is working on this PSP fantasy RPG game with network support.	JP: Summer, 2011
	Gungnir: Inferno of the Demon Lance and the War of Heroes	SRPG	Episode IX of the Dept. Heaven series (Riviera, Yggdra Union and Knights in the Nightmare). An "easy to learn" SRPG contrasted to the complicated mess of KitN. Basic run down of the story: There's an empire where two races live: Daltania and the accursed Leonica who are mistreated by the nobility. Julio Raguel forms part of the resistance and nearly dies in a battle until he finds the lance Gungnir and leads everyone to victory and changes his destiny forever. Of course, this is a Sting game; expect people dying and sad endings.	Out in Japan. TBA for everywhere else
picture?	Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky - Second Chapter & The 3rd	RPG	The second and third games of the Trails trilogy. Xseed Games is bringing the entire trilogy in English, with First Chapter already out. Second Chapter has been said to be out on 2012 by Xseed due to the huge amount of text in it. Our guesses is that The 3rd will be out sometime in 2013.	Second Chapter sometime 2012
	Monster Hunter Freedom 3	RPG	A new entry in the Freedom line, which includes new armor that sports a very samurai feel, some new weapons, and supposedly the ability to have up to 2 felynes/cats (obligatory "Dem dorfs, man") as companions. Update: It's already out in Japan and there are some guys working on a translation patch. It's perfectly playable for a veteran player, since most - if not all - of the materials are translated and there's always www.mhf3.com. Some say it's easier compared to MHFU. Will be ported to PS3 in GLORIOUS HD, yet your save data can transfer between both versions.	TBA
	Resident Evil Portable	Survival horror	Although announced during Sony's E3 2009 conference, nothing has surfaced from Capcom regarding the title. It has been specified that Resident Evil Portable will not be a remake and a UMD version is planned, despite it being designed with the PSP Go in mind (a big laugh in hindsight).	TBA

Playstation Vita

• Note: "Hardware Launch Date" is planned December 17th 2011 for JP and February 22nd 2012 for the US and EU, and do note that some game release dates may be altered in the future as well. (And you know, there might be some natural disaster like that Smash Bros. Brawl snowstorm, but let's seriously hope not.)

Box Art	Title	Genre	Description	Release Date
	Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention	RPG/Strategy	D3 on your Vita and includes all of the PS3 downloadable content. While D3PS3 had some mixed responses, enough people liked it for NIS to give it a nice boost to several aspects and a new start. Tera-level spells summon characters like in D4. Characters now have "awakening techniques", unique skills for each one only usable when at low HP. There are also new skills for generic non-character units as well. There are 2 new characters now, along with story explanations for them. Some Vita features are used like touchscreen. In addition, walk around in real life, and you gain Mana. If you skipped on D3 before, but kinda wanted to play it, then get the best version here!	JPL 12/17/11 US/EU: Q2 2012
	DJ Max Technika (working title)	Rhythm	Only announced, no trailers or screens have been released yet. A rhythm game based on a touchscreen where you touch buttons when a timeline passes over it. Confirmed to make use of both the front and back touchpads.	TBA
	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 2012
	Dynasty Warriors Next	Strategy/Beat 'Em Up	If you like DW, then here ya go. Will supposedly use the device’s touchscreen for combat, or at least a mode using it. Also, a horse riding mini-game, which will use the Vita's functions as well. In addition, you can use the Vita camera to take pictures of/with the warlords/generals in-game. Speaking of which, you can also make your own, with alot of customization. Could be cool. Nothing like snapping shots of yourself with Guan Yu or Lu Bu. Gameplay looks pretty sweet, and takes advantage of the system's power with gusto.	JP: Launch/US: Unknown?
	Gravity Rush	Action-Adventure/Mindfuck	Previously known as Gravity Daze, this game uses the tilt functions to alter gravity along with helping you use your powers. There will also be a Graphic Novel visual style. There seem to be missions across several open worlds, according to Sony. In addition, you can use the touch screens (front and back) to react to shifting surroundings and enemy attacks. Several people have high hopes for this. It is quite an attraction to say the least, and probably worth checking out.	"Hardware Launch"
	Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational	Action-Adventure/Mindfuck	New entry in the Hot Shots Golf A.K.A. Everybody's Golf series. Fun and cheery like before. Will use some functions of the Vita for better ball placement, angle-setting, aiming, etc. If you're a fan, you may want to wait until you get really enticed, but if you've never played this series before, give it a shot. It's one of the better sports franchises around, and a great way to look up digital women's skirts enjoy a whimsical little round of golf.	"Hardware Launch"
	Touch my Katamari	Puzzle/Stackan everything	Remember "Me and My Katamari" on PSP? Yeah, forget that, because the true Katamari portable game has come, if only due to Vita's twin sticks. Nigh-on-scale with console releases and there's no UMD, so less loading times as a result. Now you can stretch or squish you Katamari for narrow or wide rolling. There will be downloadable maps among other DLC. Also, in Japan, the DL version is cheaper than the game-card, so here's hoping they do that for all regions. Also an opening video with The King of All Cosmos getting his groove on around the end. IT AIN'T GONNA TOUCH ITSELF.	JP: 12/17 Others: Unknown
	Little Big Planet(working title)	Platformer	LBP blasts back into your orbit with traditional gameplay you love, along with new Touch (paint, drag, fling, tap), Rear-Touch, Camera control options and new "Create" tools. The editing tools from LBP1 and LBP2, along with Pop-It tools and costumes are also available in here. In addition, there's new game modes and mini-games, online support and co-op. It seems you can even make small mini-games in addition to level editing and creation from before. You can also access PS3 content as well. Has been confirmed by the crew to be bigger than LBP1 or LBP2 (possibly both?!)	TBA/Near Hardware Launch?
	Little Deviants	Arcade/Puzzle/Mini-game/Party	Quirky little mini-game fest that shows off Vita's features and capabilities; although, it's best to see in motion. The Liveboard sounds like something of an online leaderboard. You can play with up to 8 players in "pass around" multiplayer mode. May not be too enticing for a more "hardcore" crowd, but anyone who prefers arcade style games and wants to explore the Vita's functions would do well to check it out, even if you aren't the one who buys it.	"Hardware Launch"
	Lumines: Electronic Symphony	Puzzle/Rhythm	Lumines returns to Sony handhelds! Will have an "all-new 3D graphics engine", used to create a visual feast, and "some of the most significant names in electronic music history" to provide some funky fresh beats. Keeps that classic Lumines flair that fans loved, but will also have new block mechanics, like chain block (clears connecting like-color blocks) and shuffle block (which randomizes touching blocks for better/worse). Uses both touchscreens (front for block placement, back for charging Avatar, who pops out a chain block) Check the JP trailer and demo video for more insight.	TBA
	ModNation Racers: Roadtrip	Racing	Immediate access to the PS3 content already online, which is a fucking lot. There's also new career mode tracks, new dual analog stick racing, and three new weapon classes. Using the touch controls, you can draw a new track with the touch screen and sculpt it with the rear-touch. The new ModTraveler and ModMiles modes involve photographing your Mods in locations and racing MNR tracks away from home and both unlock "rare and unique items".	"Hardware Launch"
	Persona 4 The Golden	RPG	Yeah. It's real. Unlike P3P, the entire game has been ported true to it's original form (for better or worse), but not without extras! The resolution and graphics are boosted a bit, there's a new unknown character named Marie added, 1.5 times the voice-work of the original, Wireless rescue support (in dungeons when you're near death), a new animated opening with a new song by Shoji Meguro, new animation cutscenes as well as what looks to be new events in-game. No female protagonist, though. There are "Other elements that fans of the original have heavily requested". Whatever the hell that means, we'll learn soon enough.	JP: Spring 2012
	Rayman Origins	Platformer	Rayman's platforming return, which has damn near unanimous praise and approval, now on the Vita. So far, Vita-centric details are sparse. The only thing truly confirmed is that this will have the option to zoom in and out of the action with either touch-screen. Multiplayer and cross-platform options are currently unknown. Still, if you know you won't often play with a pal, and will often be on the go, this is probably the ideal port for you to pick up. At least unless the 3DS has some extremely kickass function or bonus that this won't. Looks great, plays great, is great.	TBA
	Reality Fighters (working title)	Fighting	Looks like a more advanced and crazier version of Nintendo's own Photo Dojo. Using PS Vita's camera, you take pictures of yourself, others, and scenery, then use them in this customizable fighting game. Like Photo Dojo, you assign your character fighting styles like Wrestling, Muay Thai, Boxer, Ballet, Zombie, etc. You can also customize the fighters' physique and looks with costume pieces and evidently choose to give them weapons. Will have single player and head-to-head versus modes, even online. Could rock or suck, but it'll at least be worth a laugh either way.	"Hardware Launch"
	Sound Shapes (working title)	Platformer/Rhythm	Best check the video first. Use a touch screen interface to create musical sidescrolling platformer levels. The types of design and elements created seem to depend on tempo, instrument, and layering. Best of all, it you can upload and download levels from others, so even if you aren't too musically inclined, you can still enjoy the levels of others. Sounds like it's shaping up to be pretty fun.	"Hardware Launch"
	Street Fighter X Tekken	Fighting	One of the strangest crossover ideas, that somehow turned out fucking rad. Not to be confused with Tekken X Street Fighter, which is Tekken based. This one plays like the Street Fighter series. Both sides feature several fan faves both new and old. Tag-team gameplay is heavily utilized with swapping out, along with support and combo attacks. Another important factor is the "Gem system", which provides bonuses to characters (ex: auto-block), but each bonus must be activated or maintained via certain conditions (ex: needing to fight to refill auto-block's meter). Curiously, there WON'T be a no-gem mode (for now), but supposedly, gems won't mean shit versus skilled players anyways. PS3 and Vita versions also get exclusive characters in Cole from Infamous and Toro and Kuro, the cartoony Playstation mascot cats.	US: 03/06/12 EU: 03/09/12
	Super Stardust Delta (working title)	Shoot 'Em Up	Super Stardust returns! Get ready for twin stick-ing space shmup action. There's no reason to not get into this if you haven't already. This includes ALL modes from Super Stardust HD and Super Stardust Portable along with new modes and challenges for Vita. In addition to new Vita-centric controls and mechanics (likely only in certain modes), there will also be new enemies as well.	"Hardware Launch"
	Tales of Innocence R	Action-RPG	Shortly after fans translate the original ToR on DS, Bamco trolls everyone with this remake. However! This will feature improved combat, new characters, Vita-features like touch-commands for allies (ex: use XYZ spell/item), and "an overall increase in content". Has a "Style Board" similar to Final Fantasy 10's Sphere Grid, but each character has their own unique layout. Also relevant to combat is the Rave Gauge, which affects somehow attacks. The game looks pretty fucking good, so learn more here and hope for an overseas release. The key word being HOPE, in Bamco's case.	JP: 01/26/12 Everywhere else: ??? (read: Probably not)
	The King, Demon King, and the Seven Princesses: New King Story	Real-Time-Strategy	A.K.A. New Little King's Story. This cult hit sequel of "Little King's Story" has you once more take control of King Corobo, now 14-years old. Corobo's kingdom was snatched by some assholes collectively named "The Nightmare", so he raises hell and rallies his army to kick ass once again. Vita features include touchscreen recruit commands, which is especially helpful since they come in many unit-types. although entire details are unknown. Day-Night cycles will play a factor along with a "changing landscape". One cool feature is that the princesses you save can support you and your army in battle. Fuck yeah, Android Princess.	JP and EU: "2012"
	Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3	Fighting	Essentially a port of the console version, even with DLC and characters being nigh identical. In March, you may be able to get it all for 20 bucks. DLC MAY be cross-platform between PS3 and Vita (i.e. buy it on one and also get it on the other), but has not been set in stone (yet?). Heroes and Heralds mode may come with it on start-up. For those not in the know, this mode lets you customize characters with 100 different cards that grant abilities like super armor and invisibility, among many other tweaks and boosts. If you find yourself away from your PS3 often, this may be the UMvC for you, or possibly a nice companion to your PS3 version. Your call.	"Hardware Launch"
	WipEout 2048	Racing	The futuristic racing series turns the clock back to the not-so-near future. As such, the futuristic tracks and locales are made closer, but still ahead of our contemporary day, but with the fast and furious racing of the future. Will use the Vita's features for control and weapons, even using the microphone to fire at other racers. You can race others on the Vita tracks, BUT! you can also race PS3 players on Wipeout HD Fury tracks. Online multiplayer will also have "a campaign structure" option, with missions/tasks that each player must undertake, such as sticking to the top tier of the course or finishing in the top half of the leaderboard; these missions will also unlock new content. The future is now.	JP: 1/19/12 US: 02/22/12 EU: TBA
	Uncharted: Golden Abyss	Adventure	Vita's "golden boy" and poster child for showing its power. Drake is back, and already exploring once more. Now he seeks to solve the 400-year-old mystery of a Spanish expedition IN Central America. Searching for a legendary lost city, he may find himself entering the titular Golden Abyss. Allows for traditional (Dualstick Analog/button) or interactive (Vita features) control schemes. The latter has steering and tilting the Vita, using front and back touch, and even using the motion sensor.	"Hardware Launch"
	Ys: Forest of Celceta	Action RPG	Reimagination of Ys IV in the same vein as Oath In Felghana, meaning that it's getting upgraded to the Ys Seven engine, better storytelling, rearranged music and of course visuals updated to 3D polygons. Adds new moves to Adol's repertoire like Flash Guard and Fatal Blow. Trailer	TBA

Xbox 360

Box	Title	Genre	Description	Release date
	Fez	Platformer/Puzzle	A very interesting indie game that makes use of 2D to 3D mechanics. You switch perspectives very similar to the PSP Crush game with puzzles sort of like Echochrome. Was due to be released in 2010, but was pushed back to 2011.	2011
	Ryse	?	A 360 (possibly PC too) exclusive from Crytek, the creators of Crysis. Set in ancient Rome. (Probably a slasher). Kinect support.	TBA
	Halo 4	FPS	Nobody knew this was coming at E3 this year. But apparently 343 studios is continuing on the Halo franchise with this sequel.	TBA

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.

Box	Title	Genre	Description	Release date
	Codename D	Adventure???	Not much is known except of some guy (who we can't see) with a flaming baseball that automatically made people's heads explode! Literally! Made by the same guys who made killer7 and No More Heroes. That's quite promising.	2011
	Haunt	Survival Horror???	A somewhat goofy looking game with goofy looking ghosts, but made by the same guys who made Parappa the Rapper, although this game has nothing to do with music.	2011
	Project Draco	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.	2011
	Rise of Nightmares	Survival Horror	A neat looking survival horror game with some gameplay of exploring spooky areas with undead ghoulies. (The logo looks awfully similar to the Silent Hill 8 logo. Hmmmmmmmmmm.)	2011
	Steel Battalion Heavy Armor	Action	You remember Steel Battalion right? Yeah, me neither (Except for its lulzy kickass $200 controller), but this one looks good. In 2082, the internets has died -gasp- and it's up to you and your bipedal robot to do something about that. Looks promising so far.	2011

Wii

Box	Title	Genre	Description	Release date
	The Last Story	RPG	A Nintendo published, Mistwalker (Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey) developed Wii-exclusive JRPG, with Final Fantasy creator Sakaguchi giving his full attention to it. The game is supposed to be entirely fantasy, with as little SciFi elements as possible, unlike many other current members of the genre, and is supposed to have a "real-time system". Gameplay can be seem here.	EU: 24th February 2012 US: ?
	Rodea The Sky Soldier	More NiGHTS Goodness	Yuji Naka strikes again! If, you haven't seen it yet - look, it looks gorgeous. If you're fond of NiGHTS and Sonic, well, you found your new god.	TBA
	Pandora's Tower	Hack'n'Slash	God of War An original character action IP for Wii with Japanese settings, cute female protagonist striken with a curse, atoning sins, and everything animu like that. It's dangerous to go alone, take this. Most likely, it won't be translated released in the US. Enjoy your rage. Also, features a badass black cover!	JP: out now EU: Q2 2012 US: ?
	Night of the Sacrifice	Horror	Imagine your generic japanese horror with OH GOD SUDDENLY FUCKING EYELESS BODIES EVERYWHERE, however, with great art style mix and played from first person perspective, and there you have Night of the Sacrifice. Marvelous Entertainment made it, and that says something!	TBA
	The Grinder	FPS	High Voltage Software, the guys behind The Conduit, were playing a bunch of Left 4 Dead and thought to themselves "Hey, why not put a game like this on the Wii?". So they started working. The game is heavily inspired by cheesy 1970's Grindhouse horror movies, and instead of shooting hordes of zombies, you shoot bat-like vampires, werewolves, Jason rip-offs, and so on. Will feature up to 4 person online co-op. "Also" on the PS3 and 360, but the version on those consoles will be a downloadable top-down shooter. Said to come out 2011, but only because a publisher isn't found yet.	TBA
	Earth Seeker	RPG	A strange but completely awesome sounding Wii-exclusive RPG made by Craft & Meisters, a team formed by a bunch of ex-Capcom employees. It's set thousands of years in the future, long after Earth was fucked over by a black hole, and takes place on a distant planet filled with strange creatures called Guardians. You play as an artificial human made by the ship that crashed here, and you need to use the help of the guardians using a neat "Time Stop" battle system, where you can run around real time and stop time to input commands, to fight monsters also made by your ship. No word on whether it's coming to US just yet, but it seems really unique.	TBA
	La-Mulana	Metroidvania/Being a Badass	That badass professor, Lemeza Kosugi and his dungeon raiding antics are remade on WiiWare, and remastered to the max. Expect an alternate system of Laptop usage (better than before), better controls, MUCH smoother animations and action, a rearranged soundtrack, and even some new story additions. If you thought being on Wiiware meant getting an "easy mode", then guess what: YOU'RE DEAD WRONG. Nigoro have personally stated they would add MORE traps and puzzles to test your skills. Hell Temple has been confirmed as DLC... because they made it even harder! Check out some of the videos on their official Youtube page and more info on their site. Time-Attack is also a new mode to fight against all "Room Guarders" or all "Guardians" and do time trials.	JP: Out now US, EU: Q1 2012
	Noitu Love 2: Devolution	Beat 'Em Up	The fast-paced, action-packed, side-scrolling beat 'em up, indie game, Noitu Love 2, supposed to be coming to the WiiWare one day. Should be much more sweet to control due to the wii remote instead of mouse controls.	TBA
	NightSky	Puzzle/Platformer	A physics-based puzzle/platformer with an interesting style developed by Nicalis, the guys who worked on the Cave Story and La Mulana Wii ports. The art style looks really nice, and the gameplay is what one would expect from a physics platformer. Still worth looking out for when it comes around.	TBA
	Rhythm Heaven Fever	Rhythm Game	Fuck yeah, this rocks. If you haven't played the others yet, you know what to do. Is probably going to have localized voices for non-JP versions, not that anyone with a brain gives that big of a shit. Gameplay has been confirmed for being rad, yet simple and sweet as always. For extra fun, try 2 player and for extra challenge, give the remixes a go. To be known in Europe as "Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise", which sounds fucking retarded.	JP: Out Now, US: February 13, EU: "2012"
	Retro City Rampage	Action/Sandbox	A completely awesome, pseudo 8-bit, retro-styled, top-down GTA type game. In this game, you can cause all sorts of havoc all over a huge city. The game also loves that it's in retro style, as is shown by the HUGE amount of references to gaming days gone by. Looking to be an excellent WiiWare game. Will supposedly be released on other consoles as well.	TBA 2011
	River City Ransom 2	Beat-em-up/RPG	Bet you didn't see this coming. Not only is this meant to be a true sequel to the NES classic (instead of those that came close), but it's being made by most of the same crew! Also coming for the PC later. According to the official website, there will be new characters and story instead. The MCs look like Kamiyama (Cromartie) and Kuwabara (YuYu Hakusho), which is kickass if you know how crazy they are.	Summer 2011 for Wii in Japan, 2012 for PC. No American dates yet.
	Fortune Street	Board Game/Party/LODS OF EMONE	Easily the most unexpected localization of E3. Nintendo tried localizing this series years back, but they decided to remix the DS game onto the Wii. Similar to Monopoly, you seek to buy up property and make, well you know. In addition to buying, selling, and trading properties, you can also take on the in-game stock market. There's also mini-games, tricks, and traps, all of which may give it Mario Party aspects. There's also a beginner's mode to ease into the normal play. Up to four players can ramble and gamble as Mushroom Kingdom, Dragon Quest, or Mii characters.	US: Out now; EU: Early January 2012
	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 U version.	2012, and likely before the Wii U version
	Fishing Resort	Sports/Action-Adventure/RPG?	Don't be put off by the cute looks. This game is like Fable, but instead of "you can do anything", YOU CAN FISH ANYWHERE. Even if you aren't big on fishing, there's a fuckton of shit you can do in this game, so much that you might forget about fishing. It's a shame this isn't an MMO. It IS however, very inexpensive. Only $20 for the game and $30 for a combo of the game and a kickass add-on. 2nd video Homepage Besides, who doesn't love to engage in a bit of trolling?	US: November 22nd Europe: Unknown, but Rising Star might bring it over, maybe?

Wii U

• So far, most of these games are just tech demos and theoretical entries, but here's hoping!

Box Art	Title	Genre	Description	Release Date
	The Legend of Zelda Wii U	Adventure	I don't know what the fuck is going on anymore, but DAMN does this look some kind of pretty. The controller will likely play a big part, despite this just being a tech demo video. If the actuality is as cool as the theory, shit is gonna get seven kinds of real.	Unknown
	New Super Mario Bros. Mii	Platformer	Seems to be similar to the Wii version with 4 player co-op, but now you can play as your Mii instead of some half-ass shoveled-in Toad (although those fuckheads are still in and playable anyways). You can even choose different outfit color schemes.	Unknown
	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.	Unknown
	Tekken Wii U	Fighting	The series' first appearance on a Nintendo home console. Supposedly will make "full use" of the Wii U's power, but no specifics are mentioned. It seems like you can draw and edit designs on the fighters. May come out near Tekken 3DS's release date.	Unknown
	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 and seems to be able to continue from the Wii version via data transferal.	Unknown, but likely after the Wii version.
