New Retail Releases: Detroit: Become Human, Dark Souls Remastered, Runner 3, More

Posted on May 21, 2018 by John Scalzo

Two big re-releases headline this week’s New Retail Releases, as well as the latest PS4 exclusive from Sony…

David Cage and Quantic Dream have been trying meld the cinematic storytelling of movies with the interactivity of video games for more than two decades now. Their latest experiment, Detroit: Become Human, will be released this week for the PS4. Based on a tech demo from the PS3 era, Detroit asks players to take control of three androids and discover what it feels like to experience human emotions for the first time.

Also available this week are a pair of re-releases that have gamers very excited. Bandai Namco will bring Dark Souks Remastered to the PS4 and Xbox One with upgraded visuals, the Artorias of the Abyss expansion, and dedicated servers.

Switch owners will have to wait a bit longer to play Dark Souls Remastered, but they’ll get their first chance this week to dig into Mega Man Legacy Collection + Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, which contains all 12 games from the “Mega Man Classic” franchise, as well as new Challenges, and multiple graphics filters.

Speaking of side-scrolling platformers and Nintendo’s newest console, Switch owners will also be able to pick up Runner 3 this week. Dozens of new levels await Commander Video as he returns in another rhythm-powered running game from developer Choice Provisions.

Several other new games will also appear on store shelves this week including The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset (PC), the latest expansion to Bethesda’s MMO; Tennis World Tour (PS4 and Xbox One), a tennis simulation from Bigben Interactive; 7’sCarlet (Vita), a visual novel from Aksys Games; and Space Hulk: Deathwing – Enhanced Edition (PS4), a tactical first person shooter based on the popular tabletop game.

Finally, Xbox One owners who skipped the “Ultimate Edition” for State of Decay 2, the zombie survival sim from Microsoft and Undead Labs, can pick up the Standard Edition this week.

That’s all for now, but we’ll be back later this week with a look at all the new additions to the PlayStation Store, Xbox Games Store, and Nintendo eShop.

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, Runner 3, Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 + 2, more coming to Nintendo eShop this week

Posted on May 17, 2018 by John Scalzo

It’s another big week for Switch owners as the Nintendo eShop will see a double-digit addition of new titles to its virtual shelves over the next seven days.

Leading the pack is Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, a Zelda spinoff from the action specialists at Omega Force and Team Ninja. Originally released for the Wii U in 2014, this Definitive Edition adds content from the Legends re-release, as well as several costumes from Breath of the Wild. Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition will be available on May 18.

Also set to launch tomorrow is Bandai Namco’s Little Nightmares: Complete Edition. The dark… yet whimsical… side-scroller asks players to save Six from The Maw, “a mysterious vessel inhabited by corrupted souls looking for their next meal.”

Further out, Choice Provisions will return with Runner 3, the third game in the incredibly popular Bit.Trip sub-series, on Tuesday, May 22. This time out, CommanderVideo will “jump, double-jump, wall-jump, slide-jump, slide, kick, float, drive, fly, and dance” to prevent the destruction of the multiverse. Capcom will also bring the Blue Bomber’s “Classic” period to the Switch this coming Tuesday with the launch of Mega Man Legacy Collection and Mega Man Legacy Collection 2.

And speaking of classic games from the late 80s/early 90s, Hamster Corporation has stepped up to the plate with a re-release of Baseball Stars Professional. It’s available to download today, alongside a Switch launch for Stoic Studio’s Viking RPG, The Banner Saga.

You can learn more about the rest of this week’s additions to the Nintendo eShop (including the Framed Collection and Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles) after the break. (more…)

The Games of May 2018

Posted on May 2, 2018 by Warp Zoned Staff

Game publishers are launching just a handful of “new” games this month, but Switch owners should be pleased with a slew of big re-releases from Nintendo, Capcom, and Nicalis.

You might not agree with all our choices, but the next four weeks are going to be great if you’re looking forward to Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, Mega Man Legacy Collection, Ikaruga, and many others. It’s almost a shame that Dark Souls Remastered‘s Switch launch was pushed out to the Summer, but at least PC, PS4, and Xbox One players will get to stay on theme.

You can find out exactly why the Warp Zoned staff is looking forward to these games, and view the release schedule for all of this month’s new games, after the break. (more…)

Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 + 2 will be released for Switch on May 22

Posted on February 19, 2018 by John Scalzo

Capcom has announced that Mega Man Legacy Collection and Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 will make their way to the Nintendo Switch on May 22.

The two compilations will be available to download separately through the Nintendo eShop ($14.99 for MMLC and $19.99 for MMLC2), but a retail release with the same launch date is also in the works. Unfortunately, only the six NES games from Mega Man Legacy Collection will be included on the Game Card. Players who purchase the retail edition will have to redeem a download code to receive the four games and bonus features from Mega Man Legacy Collection 2.

Capcom didn’t explain their rationale for this baffling release strategy on the Capcom-Unity blog, but they did unveil a new trailer for both compilations, and its been embedded above.

The publisher also said that that the first Legacy Collection will include a Rewind option to turn back time on a poorly-executed jump and access to a batch of 3DS-exclusive Challenges with a Mega Man Amiibo figure. Legacy Collection 2 will also include a batch of Amiibo-locked Challenges that weren’t available on the PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Mega Man Legacy Collection and Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 will be released for Switch in Spring 2018

Posted on December 4, 2017 by John Scalzo

Capcom had one more announcement to make as part of their “Mega Man 30th Anniversary Celebration” livestream, and it’s one that should make Switch owners very happy. After skipping Nintendo’s Wii U the first time around, the publisher confirmed that Mega Man Legacy Collection and Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 will be released for the Switch in Spring 2018.

Additionally, Capcom said that both games will offer Amiibo support, and the first Mega Man Legacy Collection will receive a new Rewind option “to go back in time following blunders.” The Rewind feature will also be added to the game on the PC, PS4, and Xbox One as a free update.

Nintendo Download: Pokemon Blue/Red/Yellow, Mega Man Legacy Collection, Return to PoPoLoCrois, more

Posted on February 25, 2016 by John Scalzo

It’s time to catch ’em all… again…

The Pokemon franchise is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and Nintendo will add the original trio of Game Boy games (Pokemon Blue, Pokemon Red, and Pokemon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition) to the 3DS eShop on Saturday, February 27. Players will even be able to battle their friends using the handheld’s wireless connection. And fans looking for another dose of Poke-mania should tune in to tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct presentation at 10:00 AM (Eastern Time) to learn more about the future of the franchise.

Another blast from the past is new to the 3DS eShop today as Capcom has added the Mega Man Legacy Collection to the download service. Players will be able to explore the first six Mega Man games, which were originally released on the NES from 1987 through 1994, as well as a brand new Challenge Mode. But if you’re looking for something new on your 3DS, Marvelous and XSEED have teamed up to bring together the RPG stylings of the PoPoLoCrois franchise with the farming simulation of the Story of Seasons franchise in Return to PoPoLoCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale, which will be available on March 1.

Finally, over on the Wii U eShop, 6180: The Moon is now available to download for Nintendo’s home console. The platformer previously appeared on the PC and Xbox One, but its minimalist aesthetic will surely find a lot of fans on the Wii U.

More information on all of these games (and a few other new releases) can be found after the break. (more…)

New Releases: Far Cry Primal, PvZ Garden Warfare 2, Mega Man Legacy Collection, More

Posted on February 21, 2016 by John Scalzo

newreleases022316

A trip back to the Stone Age, anthropomorphic plants with guns, and a compilation of some of the greatest platformers ever sit atop this week’s new release roundup.

Publishers are easily swayed by trends and it’s not hard to slot many of the most popular shooters of the last 15 years into three well-defined eras. After Medal of Honor, everyone rushed to produce a shooter set during World World II. After Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the hardware and tactics of the modern military became the focus. And after Deus Ex: Human Revolution, many shooters have seen shifted to the “not-so-distant future.”

But Ubisoft wants to go back… even further back than the European Theater. And that’s why Far Cry: Primal (PS4, Xbox One) features a battle between warring tribes of Stone Age warriors. Trading machine guns and laser rifles for stone knives and spears, Far Cry: Primal also lets players train a prehistoric tiger to do their dirty work for them.

And on the subject of bizarre shooters, EA and PopCap Games are back this week with another entry in the Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare saga. Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 (PC, PS4, Xbox One) is a time-hopping trip that also adds back in the single-player modes that its predecessor was lacking.

Finally this week, Capcom brought together the first six Mega Man games for the retail release of the Mega Man Legacy Collection (3DS, PS4, Xbox One). If you didn’t play it last year, you should definitely stop putting it off.

A complete list of this week’s new releases can be found after the break. (more…)

Posted on January 19, 2016 by John Scalzo

2016videogames-header

After years and years of publishers packing the September through November “Holiday” season with an unmanageable number of new AAA titles, we might get a much more balanced release calendar in 2016. But can you believe it all happened by accident?

Video game fans have always had to deal with delays, but publishers got even more use out of their erasers than normal in 2015. Aside from the one-two punch of Fallout 4‘s E3 2015 announcement, and its eventual release on November 10th, no game felt safe… and more than a few big titles got pushed into 2016. So now we get to ring in 2016 with a release calendar that just might offer up something exciting all year long.

Are you ready? Because here… we… go… (more…)
