Pre-E3 06: Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

DS News | Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

Today, we got a much deeper look at the new Castlevania game than we'd ever gotten before. Though it was announced before the show, all we really knew was that it would feature two characters. We now know that these two can work together in various different ways, and that the game features a slight departure from the castle-based design of the last several titles. The "tactical soul system" from Dawn of Sorrow (DS) and Aria of Sorrow (GBA) has been scrapped in favor of more traditional ...

DS News | Nintendo DS

At the Nintendo press conference, Nintendo showcased a huge number of new Wii games. We've broken them out and given short descriptions so you'll be as up to speed as anyone who actually got the chance to go. Super Mario Galaxy A new Wii adventure for the legendary plumber (below). The gameplay showed Mario flying through space and performing all new attacks, and even walking upside down on the underside of the level. He also hit a boss' bullets back at him - and the clear idea was that you do ...

Star Fox DS info and shots

DS News | Star Fox Command

Tuesday 9 May 2006 The existence of Star Fox DS was revealed at Nintendo's E3 press conference earlier today and our tractor beam has successfully pulled in the first shots and details about the game. Still a working title and pencilled in for release on 28 August in the US, Star Fox DS promises to introduce a new element of strategy to the space shooter by giving players a commander's view of the 3D rendered missions, as Fox McCloud and friends battle to protect the Lylat ...

Tuesday 9 May 2006 Nintendo has today confirmed that three of its biggest name games are due to appear on Wii in the shape of Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and a special Wii version of Zelda: Twilight Princess. But it has also refused to say anything on the cost of the new machine, its launch line-up or the release date, except that it would be "more fun for less money" and appear before the end of 2006.

Pre-E3 06: Lego Star Wars II news blast

DS News | Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy

Microsoft's Xbox 360 has become the latest name added to an almost endless list of machines that Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy is set to be released for. We could give you the full roster, but it's easier to say that, come September, the only ones missing out will be the PS3, Wii and Gizmondo. And to coincide with the September release of the Game Boy Advance, Gamecube, Nintendo DS, PC, PS2, PSP, Xbox and now Xbox 360 versions, LucasArts is planning all manner of marketing ...

Pre-E3 06: Square Enix Nintendo Blow-out

DS News | Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates

Square Enix announced today that they're planning to help give the Nintendo Wii a little boost for its launch with the wildly physical Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors. Imagine using the Wii controller as the hilt of a genuine sword with every slash perfectly mirrored on the screen in a first-person format. We only got the slightest of glimpses at a mock-up of the game in action, but the promise of a more immersive experience than the Sony EyeToy has all the hairs ...

Pre-E3 06: Spyro returns once again

DS News | The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning

Spyro, the much-travelled purple dragon, will be returning this autumn for all present generation consoles, GBA and DS in Vivendi's The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning. The game apparently "uncovers the true origin of Spyro the Dragon as he evolves into a living, breathing weapon of explosive destruction," which suggests that the action will be more dynamic than we've come to expect from the aging platform hero. Spyro will be able to unleash ground-to-air melee combos and other furious ...

Monday 8 May 2006 Those captains at Bethesda have logged a selection of new screens from both the DS and PSP versions of Star Trek Tactical Assault. This handheld title will mix shooting with strategy as players take on the whole Trek world as part of a 30-mission-long campaign mode, playing as either the Federation or the Klingons.
