Dragon’s Dogma is going to be the Zone of the Enders of 2012. We don’t mean it’s going to have awesome robots — rather, a significant portion of its audience will be buying it only for the included demo. Capcom announced today that Dragon’s Dogma will be out in North America on May 22, and [...]

The pink 3DS was offered over the holidays in North America as part of a Nintendogs bundle. Today, Nintendo announced that a standalone release for the Pearl Pink handheld will be offered Feb. 10, for $169.99. Of course, since the bundle was the same price, this isn’t so much a cheaper option as it is [...]

We’ve already had a taste of Kingdoms’ blank stares and fighting-game type combat in the demo, but a new trailer shows much more of the world, and rather fancy it looks, too. It shows how the stories are told, as well as showing off some of the more impressive locations. There’s some emphasis on the [...]

SoulCalibur 5 comes out on Tuesday, so we thought we’d take this opportunity to take a look back at the very first tale of swords and souls, eternally retold. Soul Edge (Soul Blade in North America) was released in arcades in 1995 and on the original PlayStation in 1996 and ’97. The game’s cast of [...]

Despite selling over 1 million copies of Terraria across Terra Firma, Merge Games believes the title has yet to reach a key demographic: PC game buyers without internet connections. Okay, okay, it’s also possible that the Merge Games-published “Collector’s Edition” of the Re-Logic-developed 2D indie hit is popular enough to warrant a version made especially [...]

It’s reassuring to hear that the Xbox 360 version of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is skipping past the crowded March release schedule in favor of an April 19th launch in North America. If you missed out on the original game for any number of reasons, this is increasingly sounding like a worthwhile option [...]

This is what Satoru Iwata told reporters this week, although the plans are subject to change. It wouldn’t be the first time a Nintendo console [...]
