Battlefield Hardline + Pushmo World + Swords & Soldiers 2 + Yaddas

Battlefield Hardline? Lets hope it works without the need for multiple updates to fix problems! 

Bad boys... bad boys... whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they come for youuuuuuuu? Who am I talking about? I'm talking about SWAT in the upcoming Battlefield Hardline game, this game (coming in Fall 2014) will be centered around Swat & Criminals. I want this game to be successful, and if they've built an even more stable game with BFH, then props will be given (if the game is good)... other than that... paranoia is still in play. I hope that EA has learned from BF4, but i'm just not that confident that they have, we will just have to wait and see. The game will be available on PC, PS4, PS3, XB360, and XB1 (don't hold your breath when it comes to a Wii U version).

Remember this comment from EA Games Label Executive Vice President Patrick Söderlund:

“Electronic Arts released Mass Effect 3 and FIFA 13 for the Wii U, but currently we’re focusing our resources on Xbox One and PS4, so it’s a fact that the priority (of the Wii U) is slightly lower. However making Frostbite 3 work on the Wii U is not impossible. Where there are gamers, we’ll be there as well. This is the true meaning of “omnidirectional”

Speaking of the Wii U, there are some happy and not so happy gamers talking about Wii U's sales surpassing the PS4's in Japan. As long as both of these companies are able to keep themselves running and doing well in the name of their customers... we don't really give a crap, but increased Wii U sales isn't a bad thing and Mario Kart 8 is likely the reason behind the increased console sales. We know people excited about the game and they only game on PC, you may have some additional house guests

One of those great 3DS exclusives are finally coming to the Wii U

 I felt that Pushmo should've been on both systems anyway with the ability to share puzzles cross-platform. Pushmo World's title makes me feel that this game is going to be a lot bigger, but we need to see it before that can be confirmed. Nintendo is usually good at increasing the size of a console title versus its handheld version, and one of the titles reviewed (Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword) would be a game i'd love to see on the Wii U. I think that the world would be stunning, in addition to the gaming being amazing. The towns could be bigger, the story could be played out with a lot more depth, and we could be given the ability to do a lot more with the character. This Wii U game gets me excited about the possibilities.

From Harvest Moon... to Story of Seasons

Xseed contacted us yesterday to give us the scoop on this continuation of Harvest Moon with this new beginning in the Bokujo Monogatari franchise.

Head of development (Yoshifumi Hashimoto) said "We are creating a new experience that will carry on the spirit of Bokujo Monogatari, and in doing so, will fulfill our loyal fans' expectations and desires while ushering in a new generation of games to come."

So it sounds like they plan to please fans instead of just changing things all together like some unfortunately do to their franchises leaving some fans pissed off. In this game you will have the option of fully customizing your character (lets just see how "fully" customizable they'll truly be) beyond gender, hairstyle, and facial features. You should also be able to customize and expand your farm with total freedom to shape it as you wish.

There will also be multiplayer and StreetPass connectivity, allowing you tour farms, exchange gifts, etc. You will also have the ability to use decorative items from Super Mario Bros like... Super Mushroom, Super Star, and the Fire Flower. It would be cool if you could grow these things, and it may be a possibility, but we have no idea. XSeed will be located at the West Hall booth #5436 at E3 2014... so feel free to inquire (if you're going).

Story of Seasons will be released exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS this coming Winter.

Swords & Soldiers 2's reveal trailer looks great!

The 1st game is currently available on the 3DS & Wii U eShops, and it appears that Ronimo has gone back in the lab to produce another hand drawn axe-fest full of fun. In this version they've appeared to have gone even further off the road of normal with the non-human enemies, and I expect various new challenges to overcome. CHARRRRRGE!
