Super Street Fighter IV

 

Aahh... Street Fighter.
You have probably played at least one Street Fighter game in your life. Maybe even the latest entries in the series? If not, then now is your chance!

Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition  

If you didn't play Super Street Fighter IV on one of the home consoles, don't. Wait for this version. Why? Because it's portable, so you can kick your friends' butts from everywhere. And it's IN 3D!

Oh yeah! Prepare to waste some serious ass in Super Street Fighter IV on the 3DS.
Thanks to the power of the 3DS, you can safely compare this game to its older brothers. Play as Ryu, Ken, Blanka, Honda, Chun-Li, M. Bison and many more in the upcoming entry to the already shining series.

"I never really liked you, anyway!" - In Blanka's face.
Super Street Fighter 4: 3D Edition will be available at launch of the 3DS console.

How much are you willing to pay?


Oh hi, Internet.

The 3DS has its price tag for quite some time now, so I wondered how much you would/wanted to pay at most?

Personally, I had hoped for a price at around $200 to $220 (= €200 to €220 which is bullcrap in itself). But $250 is not bad at all. I mean, it's a new technology and stuff.

I will pick up mine right at launch day. What about you?

Kid Icarus: Uprising

 
After all those years of wait and a more than small cameo in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Pit will return for yet another adventure.

Kid Icarus: Uprising

You can not imagine the volume of my screams during Nintendo's 3DS revealing trailer at E3 2010. I was like: "Dude, what's that blue medusa doing there? Give me Mario or Kirby or- WHAT THE FUC- KID ICARUS! WHOOOHOOO!" Yeah, that was pretty intense. I loved the old games. I think I even played a Game Boy version.

Pit is back in Kid Icarus: Uprising, coming exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS.
The aforementioned "medusa" will be the villain in this game. She apparently has done some reaaally bad things so it's your job to put an end to her. From the looks of several gameplay trailers, the game will (for the most part) be played as a third person-flying-grinding-shooting-bullet hell-action adventure game. Sounds good to me. Basically, you dodge stuff, shoot stuff and ultimately kill stuff. IN 3D!

The game looks great, runs smoothly and looks really sharp around the edges. You can already see that this game has had a huge amount of work put into. Nintendo probably wants to make this one count. After some disappointments in the home console department, they try to dish out as much fan service as possible. And I love it. Just watch that trailer. Pit even says "Sorry to keep you waiting!".

This will be awesome. Battling a gigantic cerberus while constantly having fireballs being shot right in your face. Not sure about the red 3DS, though.
Kid Icarus: Uprising has yet to receive a definite release date.

Pokemon Black and White Versions


Finally, they're here. Yet again!

Pokémon Black and White Versions

Pokémon Black has Reshiram ...
... and White has Zekrom as legendary Pokémon

Really now, who has never ever played one of them Pokémon games? After the incredible success of the first four generations, sixteen individual games (including remakes and special editions) and several spin-off games, the new versions are about to emerge. Pokémon Black and White will hit stores on March 6 2011. The two new games will introduce 156 new Pokémon



that you will want to catch. That's a total of 649 Pokémon overall. Go ahead. Pick your favorites. I dare you.
The games' concept is conceivably easy. Fight, catch new Pokémon, level them up, get even stronger, beat the crap out of the Elite Four at the end of the game, gain access to new areas and try to be the Pokémon Master.



A Pokémon Master is someone who caught all the Pokémon and bought every single piece of merchandise. So they say in the anime series.

Anyway, you're gonna love this game if you're into those catch-this-catch-that-and-make-it-stronger-games. And it's not that hard. Even a child could  pick up and play it!

The new starters. From left to right: Snivy, Tepig and Oshawott.

The graphics have been dramatically changed since the last games Diamond and Pearl. It's even more 3D (not the 3DS-3D) and the battle system has been upgraded as well. Sprites now don't just stand around all day waiting to be slaughtered. Now they jump while doing so.

Explore all new cities in Pokémon Black and White ...
... to wreak havoc in!
Look forward to playing the latest editions of the incredible Pokémon games. They're popular for a reason.
