[Wii U] Animal Crossing Plaza available for free on Wii U right now

[Wii U] Animal Crossing Plaza available for free on Wii U right now

Nintendo has released a new application for the Wii U called Animal Crossing Plaza, it is a free service available for download right now and will operate through until the end of 2014.

Using this service Animal Crossing fans from around the world will be able to "meet, interact and exchange information through the Animal Crossing Miiverse community." You'll also be able to import images that you've taken on Animal Crossing: New Leaf and custom QR code patterns you've created and organise them neatly into albums, from here you'll be able to post them to the message board directly (I guess this will suffice until the Miiverse comes to the 3DS). Additionally, players can select their favourite animals in Animal Crossing Plaza to post about those specific animals or view posts only about them.

If players want to see more posts then Nintendo reminds wants to remind you that you can jump over to the full Animal Crossing Miiverse community.

I'm not sure what the goal is here, but that didn't stop me from firing up my Wii U in order to download this free application. I was just starting to quit my Animal Crossing: New Leaf addiction as well, Nintendo.

StreetPass Relay Now Available at Nintendo Zones

Last night, an update to the Nintendo 3DS firmware went live that enabled StreetPass Relays. What does this mean? Essentially, when a person connects to a Nintendo Zone, they will pass along their StreetPass data. The next person who connects will get a StreetPass from that person. Similarly, they will also pass along their StreetPass data for the next person. The idea behind this is to increase StreetPasses, especially in places that are less populated.

Below is a bit more information straight from Nintendo:

Now you can get StreetPass™ data from other players at Nintendo Zone locations all across North America. When a Nintendo 3DS™ user gets near a StreetPass Relay Point and has the StreetPass feature enabled, it will automatically store his/her StreetPass data temporarily and then send it on to the next Nintendo 3DS user to visit that same location who has the same game(s). 1, 2

This new service will make it much easier to get special content for StreetPass-enabled games such as Fire Emblem Awakening and Animal Crossing™: New Leaf. And, if you’ve activated StreetPass Mii Plaza, you’ll also be able to collect puzzle pieces and play new games such as Mii Force and Monster Manor, which are available for purchase in StreetPass Mii Plaza.

Carry your Nintendo 3DS system with you in Sleep Mode while you’re out and about and see what happens! Try it out today at a Nintendo Zone near you.

For additional information, please visit our support page.

You must have your 3DS updated to system version 6.2.0-xU or higher to take advantage of the StreetPass Relay Point service.You will not receive any StreetPass data from the relay station if you are the first person to pass it with whatever game you currently have inserted or if the relay station currently has your StreetPass data.Your wireless home network cannot be set up as a StreetPass Relay Point.

Another PES 2013 demo, available next week on XBLM and PSN

by Sinan Kubba on Aug 23rd 2012 9:00PM

Konami will release a second demo of Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 next week, crashing into the nets of Xbox Live on August 28 and PlayStation Network on August 29. Yes, a second demo within a month of the first one. It may seem a bit crazy to release two demos, let alone so close together, but Konami did the exact same thing last year.

PES Productions have been hard at work tweaking the game since the first demo, presumably based on feedback. The second demo will offer a more equal balance between attack and defence, improved control for manual passes, and a number of other refinements – including improved refereeing. If only they could do that with the actual sport.

The game is scheduled to release around late September on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC, and then later on in the year for PSP, 3DS, Wii, and PS2.
23 August 2012
Second PES 2013 demo rolls out next week
KONAMI shows the constant evolution of eagerly-awaited football title with second, more exhaustive demo
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH today revealed the second playable demo for its stunning PES 2013 title will be released for, Xbox 360® on August 28th and on PlayStation®3 on August 29th, with a Windows PCto follow later in September. The new demo showcases the continued evolution of the game, and offers a truly immersive on-pitch experience.

The demo will be available via Xbox®LIVE Marketplace and PlayStation®Network. The free demo will offer 11 fully-licensed teams, and benefits from a raft of subtle but important gameplay improvements since the first demo was released in July.

"We wanted to show our hand early with PES 2013 as, frankly, there is a lot to enjoy," commented Jon Murphy, European PES Team Leader for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. "However, we are constantly refining the game and this second demo will show fans that we are always striving for perfection, and they will notice many additions and enhancements that bring PES 2013 even closer to matching the grace, unpredictability and skill that top-level football displays."

The new demo offers six difficulty settings, and allows the user to play ten-minute matches. Since the first demo, the Tokyo-based PES Productions team has been constantly working to analyse how to improve PES 2013, and the new demo is a perfect example of their quest for football perfection. The game's balance between offense and defence has been equalised, and the targeting of passes using the game's feted manual control system has been improved. Similarly, the trajectory of passes has been refined, as has the blocking by defenders, shot speed, and the ways referees officiate – including the overseeing of offside situations.

Critically, the AI when a team is passing out of a defensive situation into a potential attacking one has been fine-tuned – an essential part of a game like PES 2013, where passing and movement are central to build up play. Lobs and looping shots have also been made harder to effect, following feedback from the initial demo. Anthems for the starting line-ups have also been implemented.

With the focus of PES 2013 firmly on the field, the new demo also invites players to tackle a selected number of training trials. The full version of the game offers an exhaustive training roster wherein users can familiarise themselves with quick one-twos, tackling manual shooting and passing and dynamic first-touch moves to gain space on a closing defender. The demo will feature a number of these tests so users can experience the sheer level of control PES 2013 offers.

Product Information:
Formats: PlayStation®3, Xbox 360®, Windows PC, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable), Nintendo 3DS™, Wii™, PlayStation®2.
Release Date: End September (PlayStation®3, Xbox 360®, Windows PC); October-November (PSP® (PlayStation®Portable), Nintendo 3DS™, Wii™, PlayStation®2)

[PS3, X360] PSA: Final Fantasy XIII-2 demo is available now, kupo

[PS3, X360] PSA: Final Fantasy XIII-2 demo is available now, kupo
Just in case you haven't checked the local digital marketplace on your PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, here's a reminder that the demo is now available for Square Enix's sequel to 2009's installment in the Final Fantasy franchise.

The demo sees you take control of Serah and Noel (plus a moogle, who is a bow... uh, yeah...) and try to take down a powerful enemy known as Atlas. The demo shows off the combat, some sidequest features, the ability to use monsters, and thankfully a less linear pathway to your objectives. Oh, you can also jump. Yes!

The demo kind of feels like a love letter from that shallow ex-spouse (in this case the spouse was Final Fantasy XIII) who just wants you to give them another chance. Will you?

Final Fantasy XIII-2 is slated to hit PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on the 31st of January in America, 2nd of February in Australia and the 3rd of February in Europe.

Partial Retro City Rampage soundtrack available online, for free

by David Hinkle on Nov 5th 2011 5:00AM

Waiting for a game is probably the worst thing in the world. But if you're waiting for Retro City Rampage, you can at least ease that burden a bit by checking out select tracks from the game's soundtrack right now, free of charge.

This Soundcloud page has a few of the game's tracks for streaming or download, as well as some remixes that were the product of a recent contest. We're not sure how long it'll be available, but said page says to look for the full soundtrack in January or February 2012. We've contacted Brian Provinciano, the game's creator, who told us that these tracks will be available indefinitely. The full soundtrack is being printed right now, but you'll have to (obviously) pay money for it.

[PC, PS3, X360] PSA - Fallout: New Vegas Old World Blues now available!
Are you aching for some more Fallout: New Vegas content? Well, luckily for you the newest downloadable content has just been made available for download on Valve Steam, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live.

The inhabitants of the Mojave Wasteland have long assumed that the trackless wastes of the 'Big Empty' were a no-man's-land and thus believed no living thing could survive there. In Old World Blues, the courier (ie. your character) will venture there to discover that is far from the truth.

The DLC will set you back 800 MSP or $9.99 on the PSN and Steam.

What are you waiting for?
