The Nintendo 3DS has been on the market for a little while not garnering positive reception pretty much across the board. While there are many different titles currently on the market the console’s library is sure to expand with high quality games as time goes on.
One title gamers have been earning for information on is the 3DS’ Harvest Moon. Dubbed Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Tales, this new addition to the game will allow gamers to do all of the things they’ve come to know and love in previous games including tending to a farm and interactive with members of society.
Another important thing to make note of is the fact that regardless of if you have a Nintendo 3DS or DS you will be able to get down on this game the reason being that Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Tales will see a simultaneous release on both consoles. Expect the game to be out sometime this summer and we’ll keep you posted as more information is made available.
3D displays are getting quite a bit of buzz lately thanks to their inclusion in just about every piece of technology that sees fit. In the gaming world the Nintendo 3DS has largely popularized the technology thanks to its glasses-free 3D display and if you’ve played with one you’ll know that the results are quite stunning. But, wouldn’t it be nice if you could just whip up a peripheral that would give any display glasses-free 3D capabilities? It seems that perhaps there has as Big Head Games has just announced a clear film that, when applied to a device like an iPad or iPhone, makes for a glasses-free 3D effect.
Unfortunately there isn’t more information about this peripheral but here’s to hoping it isn’t an April Fool’s Joke.
The Nintendo 3DS‘ March 22nd North American launch is just over the corner with gamers everywhere highly anticipating the glasses-free 3D display touting handheld. While previous console launches have skimped on launch titles, Nintendo is pulling out all the stops with the 3DS. One of the biggest launch titles for the 3DS is none other than Capcom’s Street Fighter IV 3D. If you couldn’t tell by the title, this game is a port of the SF4 we’ve all come to know and love with built-in 3D functionality.
While we don’t ahve any new information to tell you about the game tha twe havne’t already told you, Nintendo has released a commercial for the game today which you can check out above. This commercial does a nice job showing off classic Street Fighter gameplay while putting an emphasis on the 3D capabilities of the 3DS.
Check it out and tell us what you think about SF43D and the Nintendo 3DS.
As we’ve told you many times in the past Nintendo has their fare share of hard hitting exclusives – one of them being the Zelda franchise. Originally launching during the days of the NES, Zelda has made it onto just about every one of Nintendo’s consoles and is ready to make the jump to 3D, as well.
Of course, the Nintendo 3DS title won’t be a completely new game instead a 3D port of the ever-so-popular N64 title The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time. However, there is something that you should know regarding the release if you’ve only played the original version of Ocarina of Time for the N64.
The Nintendo 3DS version will also include the Master Quest version of the game which increases the level of difficulty associated with some dungeons along with adding some new game content – all in 3D.
Sounds good to us, anyone grabbing a Nintendo 3DS?
While there are several different tennis simulators currently on the market, SEGA is looking to bring yet another in the form of Virtua Tennis 4. What is known about this game is that Wii MotionPlus, Xbox 360 Kinect and PlayStation Move will all be supported along with a new dynamic camera feature. This dynamic camera will look like a normal tennis game when the ball is on the other side of the court. However, when it’s your turn to smack the ball the camera will switch into first person mode allowing you to precisely return the ball even allowing for special spin maneuver that stay true to the real sport. Seeing how 3D display technology is also gaining a bit of momentum, SEGA has also let us know that they will be giving Virtua Tennis 4 the ability to display gameplay in 3D.
If you were wondering when the game will be released, SEGA has just come forth to announce that Virtua Tennis 4 will be out for the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii on May 10th. No word on a European release but we’ll keep you posted.
Crytek’s Crysis has long been regarded as one of the most graphically advanced games on the market. In fact, at the time of its release it was hard to find a PC that could run it in all of its glory. Flash forward some time and now Crysis 2‘s development is underway with a release date of March 2011. Quite obviously the game will feature superb visuals that will match if not eclipse the first title. However, Crysis 2 will also feature support for 3D – something that original game did not.
While the Crysis 2 3D experience will presumably be a great one, Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli has said the following:
“I’ll even claim it’s the same as Avatar’s status in 3D. James Cameron has seen Crysis 2, and he loved what he saw because his eyes are trained for 3D more than anyone else’s, and that makes me confident that we have a super-high-end 3D experience on all formats.”
As you’re sure to know Avatar was one of the highest grossing movies of all time being applauded again and again for it’s amazing 3D visuals. If Crytek is able to capture the same experience and replicate it into a game they may have quite the winner on their hands. That is, if anyone can actually afford a 3DTV.
Fans of the Dynasty Warriors series will be happy to hear that the latest installment, Dynasty Warriors 7, has just been officially pegged with a March 22nd, 2011 release date for the Xbox 360 and PS3. While March 22 is the North American release date, European gamers will only have to wait until March 25th to get their hands on the game.
Other than the sure-to-be amazing gameplay, some innovative points regarding Dynasty Warriors 7 to make note of is the fact that it comes with support for PlayStation Move and 3D displays.
Sounds pretty good to me. Anyone looking to pick this game up next March?
We previously reported that most 3D games on the PS3 will be in 720p, and not it turns out that all games on the PS3 which feature 3D tech will be limited to 720p. It’s understandable, as on a technical level, 3D requires twice the amount of frames, so you end up with two 720p images, one for each eye. However, it seems silly to limit 3D games to 720p, as we’re sure some developers out there would be able to squeeze two, 1080p images out of the PS3. The PS3 is already capable of displaying 1080p 3D images, as 3D Blu-ray films will be watchable on the console later this year.
Sony has announced that the upcoming PS3 3D update has been delayed a bit and will instead be released this September. Furthermore, Sony revealed that it will also support YouTube’s 3D implementation, which should be available within the next 12 months. Yep, 3D is coming hard. At least according to Sony.
Sony has announced that a PS3 update scheduled for today will bring Stereoscopic 3D to the console. The games supported so far are WipEout HD, PAIN, Super Stardust HD and MotorStorm: Pacific Rift. Of course, you’ll need a 3D ready TV and some goggles to experience the new dimension.
