Mega Man, Rayman and blackjack with a girl
Europe gets a trio of new titles this week including a couple of but goodies. Here's what's up for you EUers this week.
Magical, mystery, more
Forget the woeful Kinect features in launch game Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I — Warner Bros. is taking another stab at the boy wizard's adventures on Kinect.
Gear up for Origins
With a Rayman Origins demo last week and Rayman on 3DS Virtual Console next week — not to mention a proper look at Rayman Legends for Wii U the week after — Ubisoft's hero is working harder than he has done in years.
SEGA's just announced that Dreamcast classic Jet Set Radio is coming to PS Vita this summer.
Top gear
Gearbox Software, the team behind Aliens: Colonial Marines on Wii U, has been a vocal supporter of the machine so far. Comments from chief creative officer Brian Martell sit at the top of our Wii U power thermometer and Randy Pitchford said the Wii U's A:CM will be the best-looking version. Now we can add senior producer Brian Burleson's voice to that chorus, too.
Quite simple really
Dragon Ball Z for Kinect lands in October with an interesting QR feature to add new characters and content to the game.
Well done
This week's Nintendo Download was supposed to come with a demo of Order Up!!, but it didn't.
We were starting to worry
Majesco's blend of sport and music, NBA Baller Beats, asks you to bounce an actual basketball. Not got one handy? That's cool, you get one in the box.
Get down to business
If your GameCube's given up the ghost or there's more nails in your Nintendo 64's coffin than hairs on your head, you might be thinking of recycling it. Etsy store GreenCüb goes one better and upcycles dead consoles and controllers into office equipment.
Stomp
Grab your pad and plug in your Kinect: there's a Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor demo to try out today.
