Yesterday, Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes launched for iOS systems. I picked it up only because Capcom didn’t answered any questions I asked. So, here are some things you might like to know.
Sorry, Lions fans. Megatron wins Madden NFL ’13 cover vote.April 25th, 2012 by Fade to Slack
Oh, Detroit, haven’t you had enough pain in recent years? You were on the rise, what with that Chrysler Eminem commercial and… well… the Lions made the playoffs for the first time since 1999. That was something, right? I mean, the job market’s still just… yeah… but… anyway. Now your star wide receiver, Calvin Johnson, is on the cover of Madden after beating Cam Newton 52%-48%. Your dreams of a Super Bowl behind Suh, Johnson, and Stafford went out the window. That picture of Johnson needing a little help to get off the field? That’s the past as prologue. All kidding aside, the Madden curse is really just the law of averages at work.
Just Dance 3 surpasses 5 million sales in North AmericaApril 22nd, 2012 by Fade to Slack
Ubisoft’s Just Dance 3 continues to put up rather gaudy numbers on Nintendo Wii as it sells to the masses. After moving 34,247 units for the week ending April 14th, Just Dance 3 just passed the 5 million milestone (5.03 million units) in North America and has moved 8.89 million units worldwide. Considering it’s not available in Japan, and that’s downright insane. Using information culled from VGChartz, Just Dance 3 for Nintendo Wii ranks as the 57th best-selling game of all time. OF. ALL. TIME. Here are some games it has surprisingly outsold:
New Super Mario Bros. 2 Coming To 3DSApril 21st, 2012 by Mark A. Brooks
The new Mario game previously teased for the 3DS has been now revealed to be New Super Mario Bros. 2, the sequel to the original hit for the DS and Wii. It’s due in August (well, for Japan), and little has been shown from the game save for a handful of screens. Most notable among these is the one above, which shows an airborne Mario with a raccoon tail protruding from his bum. Also worth noting is the “P” gauge at the bottom of the screen, which suggests that the mechanics of raccoon tail flight introduced in Super Mario Bros. 3 will be making a triumphant return. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 comes to iOS on April 25thApril 20th, 2012 by Fade to Slack
Here’s some screens from the iOS build. Notably absent is a controller overlay, so it definitely looks like Capcom’s got something to hide.
IO Interactive launches Hitman: Absolution teaser siteApril 20th, 2012 by Fade to Slack
IO Interactive just launched a new teaser site for Hitman: Absolution, the next game in the Hitman series. IOI’s game takes place in the fictional town of Hope, South Dakota. The teaser page is pitched as the local newspaper and promises a new screen every week for people who just can’t wait to get their grubbies all up on Agent 47 again. Me? I’m not really digging the washed out palette in the screen above. Full press release after the jump.
