Daily Scoop: April 9, 2012 – Post-PAX East edition!
Hello, Daily Scoop followers! I have been absent for quite a while, but today I am back and ready to bring you the best in deals and gaming t-shirts! S get ready your clicking hand and pull out your credit card, because you might not be able to turn these down today.
First and foremost, this weekend was a very exciting one for the Warp Zoned staff. John Scalzo, WZ’s Editor-In-Chief, and I finally got to meet in person at PAX East! We had a blast playing games, conducting interviews, and running around the expo hall. We’re recovering now, but we’ll be posting a lot of articles this week, so be on the lookout! Spoiler alert: we weren’t disappointed by what we saw, and we don’t think you will be, either.
As far as deals go, Amazon’s got some good ones:
- Save $40 on the HORI Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Arcade Stick for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360
- Get Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition for $39.99 on PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360
- Save 40% on this PlayStation 3D display, bringing it down to $299.99
- Get Final Fantasy XIII-2 for $29.99 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360
I also poked around Amazon’s video game clearance sale, but the only game I found worth purchasing was Sushi Go Round for the DS, which is just $9.24. I’m serious when I say you should scoop that one up immediately!
Just one game-related t-shirt today, but it’s certainly a must-buy for me! (more…)
Nintendo Download: Colors, Racers, and Penguins
It’s another mish-mash of titles in this week’s Nintendo Download. Want the scoop? Here’s what’s available…
TNT Racers (WiiWare) – TNT Racers is a fun multiplayer game that combines fast-as-lightning racing action with new features. TNT stands for Tracks N Tricks – cool tracks and snappy gadgets lead to one powerful adrenaline kick.
Colors! 3D (3DS eShop) – Colors! 3D is a simple yet robust painting application that combines ease of use and powerful painting tools. Tailored for touch-screen devices, it caters to everyone from serious artists to aimless doodlers.
Penguin Patrol (DSiWare) – Waddle We Do?! Baby penguins have been stranded on thin ice by the evil (but oddly stylish) Walrus, and it’s up to the Penguin Patrol to rescue them!
Nintendo Download: ARC Style Soccer 3D, 90s Pool
It is Thursday, isn’t it? Nintendo has added two new titles to their various download services today: ARC Style: Soccer 3D on the 3DS eShop and 90s Pool on the DSiWare Shop. How 90s is 90s Pool? Maybe these game descriptions from Nintendo will let us know…
ARC Style: Soccer 3D (3DS eShop) – Enjoy fast-paced matches with the simple controls of this casual soccer game. You can customize your teams’ names and uniforms, or even use a photo of your own face.
90s Pool (DSiWare) – Chalk up a victory with classic 90’s Pool, a fun and realistic pool simulator which will keep you playing for hours!
So… not 90s at all then.
Daily Scoop: March 28, 2012 – Kickstarter hangover
Wow. In just one day, Cipher Prime got the last $11,000 they needed to fund their new game, Auditorium 2: Duet. Thank you, Internet! For being a place that does have some good people left in it.
What else is up today? I’m glad you asked. Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games is Activision’s James Bond 007: GoldenEye. Today only, this Wii game is 50% off at just $14.99. Scoop it up!
Amazon’s also having an amazing buy two games, get one free sale. I kind of want to get Chrono Trigger for the DS, and maybe Dragon Age: Origins and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for the PS3. But I also want Touch My Katamari and Uncharted: Golden Abyss for the Vita, as well as Kirby’s Epic Yarn for the Wii. Whew. That’s a lotta games!!
On the t-shirt tip, I’ve just got one shirt for you… (more…)
New Releases: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13, Warriors Orochi 3, More
The last week of March has hit a rough patch as only a handful of new releases will be available next week:
- EA Sports hit it pretty close to the pin with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 (PS3, Xbox 360).
- Tecmo Koei will surely be a good walk spoiled for a bunch of time-traveling warriors in the crossover brawler Warriors Orochi 3 (Xbox 360).
- And Capcom pulled out a well-worn putter with their Capcom Digital Collection (Xbox 360) of XBLA games.
If you’re like me, you’re probably taking a mulligan on this week. Hopefully, a hole-in-one is in our future, but at least the rest of this week’s new releases can be found after the break. (more…)

Nintendo Download: Zombie Slayer Diox, Blackjack, Carmen Sandiego
In addition to several new 3D music videos, today’s Nintendo Download includes a trio of new titles and a special message from an Oscar-winning dog.
Is the suspense killing you? Here’s all the details on this week’s new releases:
Zombie Slayer Diox (3DS eShop) – Zombie Slayer Diox is a rhythm-action game with a side-scrolling twist. Don the jeans and leather boots of a samurai guitarist living in a future time when zombies have taken over most of the world.

Disney brings Brave to consoles, DS, PC this Summer
Pixar’s next movie, Brave, opens on June 22. As you’d expect for one of the Summer’s biggest blockbusters, it’ll receive a tie-in game published by Disney Interactive.
Brave will be available for the DS, PC, PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360 sometime this Summer (probably in early June). The game asks players to “run, jump and battle their way through the rugged landscape of mythical and mysterious Scotland” as the movie’s main character, Merida:
A third person action-adventure, Brave: The Video Game expands the tale beyond the movie’s storyline. Gamers can play as Merida, an expert archer and heroine, and in the console versions, players can also play as other entertaining characters from the film. In addition, they will be able to go on quests through a magical world and solve puzzles to uncover secrets.
If that doesn’t convince you to give Brave a shot, how about this: the PC, PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360 versions will include a Bear Mode where you, yes, play as a bear.
New Releases: Kid Icarus Uprising, Ninja Gaiden 3, RE Operation Raccoon City, More
It’s taken more than 20 years, but Pit is finally back in Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3DS. Hallelujah! (Cause he’s an angel, get it?).
Also available this week is Team Ninja’s Ninja Gaiden 3 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. It’s the first game in the series without input from former studio head Tomonobu Itagaki and it comes with a sweet Dead or Alive 5 demo.
Rounding out the rest of the new releases is Capcom’s multiplayer shooter, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City (PS3, Xbox 360); From Software’s next Armored Core, Armored Core V (PS3, Xbox 360); and Konami’s compilation of the second and third Silent Hill games, the Silent Hill HD Collection (PS3, Xbox 360).
A complete list of this week’s new releases, including a Kinect game starring Pixar’s greatest characters, can be found after the break. (more…)
