All Articles: Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends
Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends, Puzzle Bobble, Donkey Kong Jr., more coming to Nintendo eShop this week
Nintendo never sleeps… and that definitely applies to this week’s regularly scheduled Nintendo eShop update.
This week, Switch owners new and old will get the chance to download Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends – Definitive Edition, a fully-updated port of the eighth addition to Koei Tecmo’s hack-and-slash franchise, as well as the original arcade renditions of Puzzle Bobble (better known in North America as Bust-A-Move), and Donkey Kong Jr.
You can read more about these three games, and the rest of the new releases now available to download through the Nintendo eShop, after the break. (more…)
Fez, Deception IV, The Witch and the Hundred Knight, more added to PS Store
One of the greatest puzzle platformers of the previous generation, Fez, is now available to download from the PlayStation Store. And it doesn’t even matter which PlayStation platform you own. Fez has been released as a Cross-Buy title on the PS3, PS4, and Vita, so you can play it wherever you are. Several other multiplatform releases are available this week, but sadly, they’re not Cross-Buy purchases.
Tecmo Koei will bring the hack and slash gameplay of Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends back to the PS3 and Vita. For its PS4 release, the standalone expansion will be bundled with the original Dynasty Warriors 8 as Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends – Complete Edition. The publisher will also release the latest game in their popular trap-setting series, Deception IV: Blood Ties, for the PS3 and Vita this week. In non-multiplatform release news, NIS America also added The Witch and The Hundred Knight to the PlayStation Store yesterday.
Finally, a new Call of Duty: Ghosts bundle that include the original game and the Onslaught Map Pack is available to download on both the PS3 and PS4.
More information about all of these games (as well as a few others) can be found after the break. And a full rundown of this week’s new game add-ons can be found at the PlayStation Blog. (more…)
Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends will launch on March 25
Tecmo Koei has announced that the latest in their long-running series, Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition, will be releasing on March 25 for PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation Vita. Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends will also release that day for the PlayStation 3.
What’s the difference, you ask? Well, Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends is a standalone expansion for Dynasty Warriors 8, which came out on PS3 back in July of last year. Not only will it have new episodes, it will also add five new characters, bringing the total number of warriors to 82. It “will also feature multiple hypothetical scenarios that alter the plotlines of various episodes throughout the ‘Romance of the Three Kingdoms’ story, an expanded Ambition Mode and the popular Challenge Mode.” There have also been enhancements to the Free Mode.
The Complete Edition, on the other hand, is all of the content of the original Dynasty Warriors 8, coupled with Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends. This is fantastic news for players who want to change over from PS3 to PS4 or Vita, or who haven’t had a chance to pick the game up yet and want choices. You can also transfer your save data across all three platforms, making it easy to play your game anywhere.
Both Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition and Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends will be out on March 25 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita.
