Welcome to New Releases for the Week!
Ignition Entertainment today announced that Tornado, a Nintendo DS game developed by Success Corporation, will be available across Europe this Autumn.
Ameblo via VGChartz is reporting that the first day sales estimates in Japan on July 17th, 2008 as follow:
"The only details we got on Order of Ecclesia were in trailer form, showing off a hero whipping and slashing hordes of skeletons, zombies, and Frankenstein's Monster. This looks to be a complete return to traditional Castlevania, with side-scrolling monster hunting galore.
Judging by these new images, the DS's garden looks just as busy and lush as the Xbox 360's. Considering the inherent portability of the handheld console this forthcoming conversion will hopefully lend itself better to the regular maintenance requirements that make for flourishing, piñata-rich vegetation.
According to LucasArts, the game features an exclusive DS story which expands the Clone Wars series. It also enables you to create your own personalised Jedi teams by pairing up Jedi Masters and Padawans. So Anakin Skywalker is able to fight alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano wth Mace Windu.
Looks like Square Enix is staying true to their word to release Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days sometime this year: A new advertisement of the game, found inside Dragon Quest V's case, states the game is "Coming 2008". Perhaps Square Enix will finally reveal the release date during their private event, DKS3713; After all, they did state a demo will be available there.
Consider it "Star Wars III and a Half" - complete with a pivotal plot twist. When LucasArts releases "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" on Sept. 16, the video game will serve as George Lucas' official median between 2005's "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" and 1977's "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope." In the game, players become Darth Vader's secret apprentice and use The Force to hunt the remaining Jedi.
