Sharpshooters, look out
Ubisoft has lifted the veil on its special editions that will accompany Assassin's Creed III when it launches later this year.
No concessions necessary
Vigil Games, the team behind Darksiders II on Wii U, has told GameReactor that Nintendo's new console isn't a huge technical leap over the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Game Gear is here!
Originally we were told SEGA's Game Gear would reach Europe in mid-March, but after a minor delay the portable is coming to the continent this Thursday. The GG games aren't the only Virtual Console goodness as Wii gets a long-awaited 8-bit blaster too.
Eagle vision
Assassin's Creed III is coming to Wii U, and Nintendo Gamer magazine (via NintenGen) has revealed some fresh details about how the game will use Wii U's new controller.
Not a weak port
The not-at-all shocking announcement of Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two came with the even less surprising revelation the game's heading to PS3 and Xbox 360 too, leading some to worry Wii owners would get a weak port of the HD versions. Thankfully that's not the case. Junction Point supremo Warren Spector has confirmed his team is building the game on Wii, while UK studio Blitz Games creates its HD counterparts. Hopefully that means a technically impressive follow-up for the mouse; 2010's Disney Epic Mickey had its moments, but we're hoping for an altogether more accomplished title this Christmas.
For $5.99
Didn't pre-order Kid Icarus: Uprising to get your free code for 3D Classics: Kid Icarus, and worried you've missed out on the downloadable game for good? Not to worry, as GameStop will sell redeem codes for the game online.
Bit of a must-have for me - Even at 10% Complete, PSO 2 Vita Looks Good - Push Square http://t.co/ezLBr4QB via @pushsquare
Energy shots
We only recently found out SEGA's Phantasy Star Online 2 is coming to Vita, although the publisher deflated our hopes of playing it this year by saying it's only 10% complete. Still, to say it's got a gruelling 90% of development ahead, it looks pretty good already.
