Well excuuuuuse me, princess!
It has been confirmed by Nintendo themselves that Skyward Sword contains a game breaking glitch that will prevent players from progressing through the game. Initially it wasn’t known what was triggering the bug, but now that the exact triggers are known we wanted to inform you how to avoid this game stopping issue.
International figures expected to be even bigger.
Mario is a man of many talents and gamers show up in droves when he’s featured in any of his many ongoing franchises. As we reported earlier, Nintendo had a particularly good Black Friday thanks in part to the portly plumber’s turn in Super Mario 3D Land. Well, it seems that Mario wasn’t finished selling systems as his 3DS kart racing debut is looking to set even more records in the land of the rising sun.
Set to release today, the new Dashboard is now TBD.
Major Nelson sent a tweet earlier this morning at 7 AM in regards to the new Xbox Dashboard update that was scheduled to be released. The tweet goes as follows: "FYI: The timing for Xbox 360 dashboard update has been slightly delayed. I’ll have a status update later today."
An epic game with epic bugs
The creation of the sixth installment of the Heroes of Might & Magic series sent the small turn-based RPG gamer niche through various emotional highs and lows. The two biggest sources of concern was the renaming of the brand to Might & Magic Heroes (which made many think back to the failed 3DO series), plus the “dumbing down” of the unit tiers from the almost double digit tiers to just three. It seemed that the things that made it great would be forsaken in pursuit of the lucrative mainstream market.
YouTube and TV providers missing the update's launch.
The big Xbox 360 fall dashboard update is finally coming out tomorrow and I personally blame my OCD tendencies for being so excited for it. Announced this year at E3 2011, the update includes Bing searching, YouTube, Live TV and EPIX, among other features. A UFC app was also announced but we know that it's been delayed to December 20 instead of its original date of December 1. Now it seems that the dashboard update will be missing a lot of the announced apps, at least at launch.
New enigmatic game to be officially outed at Spike's VGAs.
The Spike TV Video Game Awards is starting to become a hotbed for major reveals. With information on Alan Wake 2, BioWare’s next project and more to be revealed, there is many a video game enthusiast's DV-R scheduled to record the event. But even a week before the show airs we’re starting to get some teasers of what’s going to show, including a PlayStation 3 exclusive called The Last of Us.
While fun with friends, this addition to the Scene It? franchise lacks the substance to make a lasting impression.
Scene It? has been around for a while now and there have been more than a few video game adaptations of the popular DVD/film based trivia game. Now the game based on the premise of useless cinematic know-how has wound up on the PSN and XBLA as a downloadable game. The move to a digital format makes perfect sense for this type of game, but this stripped down version fails to capture the more fleshed out experience we've come to expect from the franchise.
Bad news for those looking to share.
There's been a wave of not so good news concerning the Vita these past few weeks. With the announcement of expensive memory sticks and a UMD Passport launch lineup that is somewhat lacking the Vita is in a position where it could use some good news. Now isn't that time though, as we have no found that the Vita will severly limit your PSN account flexibility.
Why Mario Kart 7 has me down.
Well, it's official, snaking is officially gone from the Mario Kart series. After Mario Kart Wii, it was up in the air if future iterations would provide players with such ability, but it appears Mario Kart 7 solidifies the permanent omission. As an advocate of snaking, this is a sad day.
