With the World Series still fresh in everyone’s mind, 2K Sports has announced that Major League Baseball 2K12 will be comimg to the DS, PC, PS3, PSP, Wii, and Xbox 360 on March 6, 2012.

“Justin’s amazing performance this season speaks for itself,” said Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. “Between his second career no-hitter and leading the league in virtually every pitching category, I can’t think of anyone else but Justin Verlander to serve as the face of Major League Baseball 2K12.”
“It’s a dream come true to be on the cover of Major League Baseball 2K12,” said Verlander, who pitched the second no-hitter of his career this season. “I’ve worked closely with 2K Sports on the MLB 2K series since 2007, and I couldn’t be more excited to continue my relationship with such a great baseball game.”

BurgerTime Deluxe added to 3DS eShop
Order up! Everyone’s favorite food preparation sim, BurgerTime Deluxe, has been added to the 3DS eShop.
The Game Boy classic will be joined in the 3DS eShop by Pyraminds, a puzzle=platformer set among the great pyramids, and two new DSiWare games: Academy: Checkers, which is pretty self-explanatory, and Halloween: Trick or Treat, an adventure game that’s perfect for the spookiest time of the year.
