[3DS] New trailer for Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D showcases new 3DS footage
![[Image: game-news-image-2013-06607ae3c937602e7eb...e5b01.jpeg]](/game-news-image-2013-06607ae3c937602e7ebeccefdd1e5b01.jpeg)
Donkey Kong Country Returns is barreling towards the Nintendo 3DS later this month, both on the eShop and at retail, so Nintendo has seen fit to release a new trailer showcasing plenty of 3DS footage.
The text isn't in English, but we're mostly here for the video anyway.
Nintendo also revealed a few weeks ago that the 3DS version would receive a new 'easy mode' in addition to a brand new world.
Thanks Games HQ Media.

[PS4] "Always online" was apparently never really considered an option by Sony
So, there's been a lot of controversy surrounding the possibility that Microsoft's new console could be required a constant internet connection (depending on your interpretation; personally I don't think they'll pursue it in this manner). A lot of people were quick to cast the spotlight back on Sony; who, despite never mentioning always online during their PlayStation 4 showcase, never actually denied its inclusion. However, Gaming Everything spied an interesting statement during an interview in Game Informer claiming that Sony never considered going down that road.
“Did we consider it? No, we didn’t consider it. The main reason being that many countries don’t have robust Internet connections. It makes sense for people to have Internet connections to play online games, but for offline games there are many countries that we saw do not really have robust Internet,” Shuhei Yoshida told the magazine.
So, what do you think? Is this just Sony playing the role of a 'good guy' or do you think they genuinely never considered implementing in with the PlayStation 4? Its worth noting that patents surfaced suggesting that Sony might have been investigating its use at one point.
Or will Sony still announce some sort of incentive to be constantly connected to the internet heading into E3?
Thanks Eurogamer.

[Wii U, 3DS] Mother 4 would be impossible according to Shigesato Itoi
![[Image: game-news-image-2013-1c098fd76d0507f953b...ba7bdb.jpg]](/game-news-image-2013-1c098fd76d0507f953bdc92b34ba7bdb.jpg)
If you were hoping that the recent confirmation that Earthbound would find its way to Western Wii U owners through the Virtual Console might give us a glimmer of hope for a fourth installment then I have some bad news for you.
Kotaku is reporting that Shigesato Itoi, creator of Earthbound/Mother, has given a rather blunt answer squashing any dreams we may have had for a Mother 4.
The creator was asked by a fan if he could make Mother 4, but unfortunately Itoi's response was a rather blunt "impossible". If you can read Japanese then you can check out the tweet in question here; this is sure to disappoint many gamers. It is especially disappointing because no reason was given to explain why it would be impossible.
We'll have to settle with getting our hands on Earthbound later this year.

Sorry, I could not read the content fromt this page.[Multi] Activision poised to announce this 2013's Call of Duty title on May 1st?
Well, it is quickly becoming that time of the year where Activision throws back the curtain and reveals their latest Call of Duty game. Although Activision haven't announced any date for the reveal, IGN was sent images of promotional materials indicating that there'll be something Call of Duty related to display after May 1st.
![[Image: game-news-image-2013-65194316570cb8911b0...d1aef7.jpg]](/game-news-image-2013-65194316570cb8911b0fc33cd1d1aef7.jpg)
It is worth noting that Activision revealed Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 on the 1st of May last year, so it definitely seems like you can all expect to be snowed under Call of Duty hype in a few days time.
The question is; will this have anything to do with the leaks concerning the mysterious Call of Duty: Ghosts? Listings have been popping up on a variety of online websites, some seem to be hyping a new engine could be on the way.
What would you like to see Activision do with the new Call of Duty game?
Personally, I hope it is actually called Call of Duty Title.

[Wii U] Pikmin 3 is arriving on the Wii U this August, new Pikmin revealed
![[Image: game-news-image-2013-15f83929e4eb0b80589...7ead2a.png]](/game-news-image-2013-15f83929e4eb0b80589c941b777ead2a.png)
Pikmin 3 is the game that was meant to be available months ago; it was originally supposed to be available during the launch window. However, Nintendo's determination to spit-shine the game to near-perfection saw it slip out of the original window (although, I wondered if it was ever actually going to make it in the first place).
However, during today's stream they showed off some new footage for the newest installment in the Pikmin franchise. In the footage they revealed the new Winged Pikmin that will follow the player and carry items in the air. These new Pikmin join the Rock Pikmin as newcomers to the Pikmin series.
Nintendo later dated Pikmin 3 for release in the US and confirmed that it will be available on the 4th of August. Nintendo of Europe has not dated the game yet, but claim that it will be available in a few months.
