PAX Australia kicks off this weekend and I'll be there for all three days! I'm pretty excited to see what the first Australian version of PAX will look like, but I'm also expecting it to be a lot like other conventions that I've attended.

Today Nintendo Australia have sent out an e-mail detailing their line-up for attendees.

Wii U Pikmin 3The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HDSuper Mario 3D World

3DS The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between WorldsSonic Lost World

In addition to these games, the Nintendo booth will also feature plenty of competitive action in New Super Mario Bros. 2, Luigi's Mansion 2, Mario Kart 7, and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Most important, the Nintendo booth will be housing the Pokémon Video Game Australian National Championship matches. The top two competitors in their age division will win flights, accommodation, and an invitation to the World Championships.

Lastly, a special Animal Crossing: New Leaf presentation will be shown in the Dropbear Theatre on Saturday afternoon (4:30pm). So Animal Crossing fans won't want to miss out!

So, who's coming to PAX Australia? More importantly, who else will be at the Kodiak Club on Saturday night for the Rooster Teeth after-party to partake in many alcoholic refreshments with me and my buddies?

Skylanders: Giants adds Thumpback, Eye-Brawl to its lineup

by Jessica Conditt Writer RSS on Jan 23rd 2013 3:00PM


Skylanders Giants gets two new characters
Enjoy the brief rush of giddy, childlike glee you feel upon hearing that Skylanders: Giants has two new characters to show off. The world is dark enough on its own, and that goes double for the internet, so cherish these moments of unadulterated joy. This is now a safe space for love and happiness, though we have no control over the comments section.

Skylanders welcomes the giants Thumpback and Eye-Brawl to its ranks. Thumpback, whose video is shown above, is a water giant and former crew member of a vicious pirate ship called The Phantom Tide. However, after being pulled overboard by the Leviathan Cloud Crab, Thumpback put his pirating days behind him.

Eye-Brawl, shown in the video below, is an undead giant and one of the most powerful Skylanders ever known. Eye-Brawl is a combination of two creatures, the flying eyeball and the headless giant, who joined forces after a staring contest resulted in a stalemate. The eyeball, aside from flying, shoots lasers, which is a cooler talent than blinking anyway.

It's time for you to get to know a couple of the latest characters from Skylands as Eye-brawl and Thumpback join the Skylanders Giants. With awesome powers they're a force to be reckoned with.

THUMPBACK
Hail to the Whale!

Element: WATER

Character Type: Giant

Bio: Thumpback was once a crew member of The Phantom Tide, the most fearsome pirate ship in all of Skylands. But the actual pirating part about being a pirate didn't interest Thumpback so much as the benefits that came with travelling on a large ship. After all, his real passion was fishing. But when his chance came to finally ensnare the most elusive creature in the sky – the Leviathan Cloud Crab – he was pulled over board and carried off into the horizon. This was actually quite fortunate, because sometime later The Phantom Tide and its entire crew were banished to the Chest of Exile. Thumpback's pirating days were over, but his legend as one of the first Skylanders had only just begun.

EYE-BRAWL
I've got my eye on you!

Element: UNDEAD

Character Type: Giant

Bio: Throughout history, there have been many epic battles, though none more bizarre than the legendary brawl between the headless giant and the infamous flying eyeball. It all started with a staring contest, but with the headless giant having no eyes and the flying eyeball unable to blink, it soon escalated into an all out war as the two rivals fought fiercely throughout the land of the undead for over a hundred years! With neither opponent backing down, the two combatants were eventually struck with the realisation that if they were to combine their formidable powers, they would be a force to be reckoned with. By teaming up, the infamous flying eyeball and the headless giant became known as Eye-Brawl – one of the most powerful Skylanders ever known!

Square Enix's TGS lineup includes Dragon Quest X Wii U

by Writer RSS on Sep 4th 2012 9:00AM

Square Enix unveils TGS lineup, Dragon Quest X WiiU includedSquare Enix unveiled its Tokyo Game Show lineup this week, revealing the Wii U version of Dragon Quest X is being showcased for the first time. Square, who released the Wii version of the MMORPG last month in Japan, says fans can expect new information about the game at the exhibition. Presumably that includes what the Wii U version has that the other doesn't, and how that affects the game's cross-platform play.

Other highlights from the announced lineup include Hitman Absolution, the Realm Reborn re-launch of Final Fantasy XIV, and Black Ops 2, which Square Enix is publishing in Japan. The Tokyo Game Show runs through September 20-23.

THQ denies rumors about cancellation of its 2014 lineup

by on Jan 16th 2012 12:15AM

Yesterday, a series of tweets by IGDA Mobile SIG chair Kevin Dent alleged that THQ was in financial trouble, and that it was canceling its 2014 game lineup (most notably Warhammer 40k: Dark Millenium Online) and shopping itself out to potential buyers.

This evening, THQ's Australian PR department issued a statement to the contrary, as posted by VG247. "THQ has not cancelled its 2014 line-up, and has not made any decisions regarding the planned MMO," THQ said. According to the statement, the only reduction to THQ's lineup has been to move focus away from the "kids' boxed games sector" following poor performance of the most recent version of the uDraw. " Our slate for calendar 2012 and beyond is focused on high-quality core games and continues to build our digital platform and business," the statement said. "We are excited for our pipeline of original and high-quality content along with our relationships with some of the best talent in the industry."

Note that THQ said it "has not made any decisions" about Warhammer 40k: DMO -- that's hardly a statement of unwavering support. Regardless, the statement is clear about the rest of the 2014 lineup.
