Get an extra large hands-on with the 3DS XL at San Diego Comic-Con 2012

by Ben Gilbert on Jul 9th 2012 9:00AM

You and your buddy Peter always go to San Diego Comic Con, sure, but do you always get a chance to be the first people in North America to touch Nintendo's next handheld? The answer is no, because you don't. But this year, you totally will, as Nintendo's bringing the 3DS XL.

The Japanese game publisher's also bringing a variety of games for you to play, including New Super Mario Bros. 2, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate, and ... uh, Kid Icarus. Okay, okay – outside of those three and a couple others, the rest of the games are kinda not so new. But hey, Just Dance 4 on Wii will also be there! Yeah!

Head past the break for the full list.

[CC'11, PS3, X360] Final Fantasy XIII-2 at Comic-Con, releasing next January

Are you still swallowing that bitter news about Final Fantasy Versus XIII's sorry state? Well, here's some news to make that taste even worse. Square Enix will be bringing Final Fantasy XIII-2 (the sequel to 2010's somewhat underwhelming Final Fantasy XIII) so that fans can experience the newest instalment in the long-running franchise.

They also announced that the game will be heading to retailers in North America next January. That's right, while Final Fantasy Versus XIII waits to enter full production, a sequel to an already existing Final Fantasy is taking priority.

Square Enix will also have Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Dead Island, and Wakfu at Comic-Con for fans to sink their teeth into.

Nintendo's Comic-Con lounge stocked with Mario, Zelda, Rhythm Heaven, and more

by JC Fletcher on Jul 18th 2011 10:15AM

To keep you from ever having to look at an actual comic at Comic-Con, another game company has announced its lineup of playable demos. You'll be able to play a great deal of Nintendo's recent and upcoming 3DS lineup, most of its Wii lineup ... and Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2 on DS.

Nintendo will have both a normal booth at Comic-Con, #5135, and a "Nintendo Gaming Lounge" at the adjacent Marriott Marquis & Marina hotel. This "Gaming Lounge" will feature playable demos of Super Mario, Kid Icarus Uprising, Mario Kart, Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D, Shinobi, and more 3DS games. In addition, you'll be able to try The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Rhythm Heaven, Fortune Street, and more on Wii.

Bring your DS and/or 3DS when you go. From 4-6 pm on July 21, Nintendo will host a Pokémon Black/White meetup. The Lounge will also have a giant Pokédex 3D AR marker of Reshiram for you to take commemorative pictures with, and a "gallery" of oversized AR Cards. There will even be downloadable maps for Dragon Quest IX!

Kid Icarus: Uprising Comic-Con Blade Footage (Cam)

Story

The plot of Kid Icarus: Uprising follows the angelic protagonist, Pit, as he battles with the forces of a reborn Medusa who seeks to destroy mankind. Pit will also utilize the ability of flight granted by Palutena called the “Miracle of Flight” to aid him in flying to different worlds so he could fight massive monsters.

Gameplay

The E3 2010 trailer of the game showed a mixture of both air and ground combat, featuring Pit battling monsters, including Twinbellows and Hewdraw, bosses from the first game, in his quest to stop Medusa. Nintendo described the game as “a fast-paced and action-packed blend of aerial and ground-based shooting built on elegantly intuitive and streamlined play control. Boasting game play that is easy to pick up, but incredibly deep, the game is sure to satisfy novice gamers as well as fans who have been clamoring for a new installment in the franchise.”

Pit will have multiple different weapons to choose from. A blade, claws, and Orbiting Options have already been confirmed, with several others currently unnamed. Weapons are chosen for use in a level that is divided into three parts. The first is a flying section that requires Pit to fire at oncoming enemies while reaching his destination. The second is a ground part where Pit fights groups of ground enemies and advances to the area where the boss lies, and the third area is the boss battle that wraps up the level. The levels in the game will be called chapters. Like Nintendo’s Star Fox series, there will be voice acting with Pit, Palutena, Medusa, and other characters speaking to each other during gameplay at cutscenes.

There will also be a health bar on the upper left side of the top screen that shows Pit’s endurance. It will go down each time Pit is damaged until it becomes empty and he dies. Various kinds of food is scattered throughout the level and replenishes Pit’s health if he touches it, not unlike in Super Smash Bros..

Multiplayer

The E3 2011 trailer depicted up to 6 players competing in either a Team Deathmatch or Free For All style multiplayer game. Weapons identical to the ones seen in singleplayer can be used against opponents in order to frag the opponent in order to win a match.
