While mobile devices would be getting the brand new Angry Birds Star Wars II q4, consoles will finally be getting the unique Angry Birds Star Wars besides.

Rovio, the developer behind the Angry Birds series, today announced that Angry Birds Star Wars may be coming to consoles on October 29 (November 1 for Europe). The sport might be released on all current consoles, including Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, and Wii U. Retail boxed copies might be available in shops.

“Downloaded greater than 100 million times since its release last year, Angry Birds Star Wars melds together two of the most important names in pop-culture entertainment for an out of this galaxy gaming experience,” said Jami Laes, EVP of Games at Rovio Entertainment. “Angry Birds and Star Wars are franchises with millions of fans all over the world and we’re excited to partner with Activision to bring the wedding of those beloved properties to gamers everywhere this holiday season.”

Rovio stated that Angry Birds Star Wars have been “remastered” for consoles. It now features a 2-player cooperative multiplayer mode and a 2- to 4-player competitive multiplayer mode. The console version will even have 20 new exclusive levels and a few unnamed “bonus content.”

Whatever your position on mobile device/touchscreen “serious” gaming, the type that goes beyond the arcade-like Angry Birds/Candy Crush Sagas of the sector, there isn’t any denying these devices are becoming a viable destination for games with a more serious tone and more complicated control schemes. With that during mind, the moderate level of interest surrounding Square Enix’s Deus Ex: The autumn, a Triple A title that’s normally found at the PS3/Xbox 360/PC Game environment, is warranted.

Deus Ex: The autumn is an ambitious title, as a minimum regarding mobile gaming, offering a degree of depth not normally present in less-serious mobile gaming environment. Because, however, there’s a tendency inside the online game publishing community to regard everything involving jailbreaking devices with piracy, and so, when the sport was first released, iPhone owners who purchased the sport and tried to play it on a jailbroken iPhone-a totally legal activity-they were greeted with the next screen:

“We haven’t been clear in our communication earlier this week after we launched Deus Ex: The autumn. We didn’t state clearly that the sport wouldn’t support jailbroken devices and so we are going to be switching this off via an update, in order that all of the supported iOS devices can be capable of play the sport within the near future.”

“We feel it’s the appropriate thing to do on this situation and apologise for any inconvenience this will have caused. No customer ought to be out of pocket after we weren’t clear from the beginning, so we’ll get the sport updated once possible in order that everyone who desires to play Deus Ex: The autumn can do whether their device is jailbroken or not. Once this update is live we can communicate this via the Eidos Montreal Community channels.”

To their credit, Square Enix was true to their word and quickly issued an update, that’s available for download. The update notes include the next:

– Restriction on weapon firing which affected jailbroken devices were removed;
– Improved enemy AI reaction and combat behaviour;
– Increased XP rewards for completing objectives;
– Increased the quantity of credits gained as rewards, around the game;
– Improved damage and accuracy stats for the Combat Rifle;
– Increased accuracy of Shotguns for better mid-range effectiveness;
– Reduced some weapon costs (including high-end Plasma Rifles and Rocket Launchers).

It has to be noted the developers are planning to release an Android version of Deus Ex: The autumn, although, no date was discussed.

Nintendo usually gives us an advance warning before it streams one among its Nintendo Direct videos, but today’s Nintendo Direct came with none prior warning. It didn’t really count though because the company only provided updates on previously announced games.

Nintendo’s Bill Trinen started out today’s Nintendo Direct talking about Animal Crossing: New Leaf. He announced that Nintendo Zone locations at Best Buy and other retailers will start storing StreetPasses for games like Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Super Mario 3D World and other games. By visiting a Nintendo Zone, you’ll manage to pick up the StreetPass of the former player to have visited the positioning.

If you have to more StreetPass games, Trinen also announced that it might be releasing an update to the StreetPass Mii Plaza that included four new games – Mii Force, Flower Town, Warrior’s Way and Monster Manor. All four games provide new ways for players to have interaction with the folk they meet via StreetPass. Each game is obtainable for $4.99 each, or $14.99 for all four.

Next, Trinen announced that Mario & Luigi Dream Team will launch on August 11. He also shared a brand new trailer that further confirms my suspicions that it’s going to be the most effective RPGs at the 3DS this year. He also shared iteration dates for The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Mario Party for Nintendo 3DS. Both titles would be launching in November.

Switching to Wii U games, Trinen shared new information about Pikmin 3. He revealed a brand new Bingo Battle stage while revealing that there’ll be 12 battle stages in all with each stage featuring three variations. Players can be ready to compare times and scores with other players around the globe.

As for fantastic 101, Trinen said that gamers might be ready to play the sport this weekend at San Diego Comic-Con. Other information regarding the title can be revealed in a future Nintendo Direct with a purpose to be entirely devoted to the title.

On a last note, Trinen announced that SNES classic Earthbound is now available at the Wii U virtual console for $9.99. They’ve got also uploaded the Nintendo Power strategy guide that the sport originally shipped with to their Site. Players can access the guide from either the net or the Wii U browser because it was optimized for the gamepad.

If you favor your Nintendo Direct in full motion video, you are able to watch the total 22 minute presentation below:

Did you already know that there has been a Nintendo Direct this morning? You almost certainly didn’t as Nintendo stealthily released it with none prior warning. The secretive nature of its release doesn’t mean it was a foul Nintendo Direct though. On the contrary, there have been numerous excellent trailers released alongside of it that give us a smarter have a look at some upcoming games.

First up is Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. Nintendo calls it the “comedy trailer,” and that i believe that designation is apt. The franchise has always been known for its humor, and this latest trailer doesn’t disappoint.

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team would be available on August 11 exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS.

Up next is the most recent trailer for The superb 101. This prologue trailer explains somewhat the backstory for the newest game from the geniuses over at Platinum Games. Nintendo promises a future Nintendo Direct should be devoted entirely to the sport so that you won’t must wait long for additional information.

The Wonderful 101 would be available on September 15 exclusively for Wii U.

On a last note, Nintendo released a trailer for the virtual console release of EarthBound. It’s a fine looking special event as here’s the primary time in decades that Nintendo of America has even acknowledged the game’s existence, they usually went all out with its debut on virtual console. Every virtual console release isn’t going to get a trailer this cool, but i will dream, right?

EarthBound is out there at the Wii U virtual console today.

Ubisoft today announced a “Limited Edtion” bundle for its upcoming title Watch Dogs. The pack can be available for $130 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 consoles. Because the game will launch alongside the recent Sony and Microsoft consoles (which don’t yet have launch dates), the discharge date for Watch Dogs on those consoles continues to be a nebulous “Holiday 2013.” For current consoles and PC, the sport will hit stores on November 19.

The Limited Edition of Watch Dogs comes with several goodies, but not quite as many as Europeans are becoming inside the “Dedsec Edition” announced back in April. The Limited Edition features a steelbook case, soundtrack, art book, and a 9″ figurine of Watch Dogs protagonist Aiden Pearce, like the Dedsec Edition. Rather than the map, badges, augmented reality cards, and bonus single player missions of the Dedsec Edition, however, customers in North America might be getting a duplicate “vigilante mask” just like the one worn by Pearce within the game.

Watch Dogs is predicted to be one of the crucial better next-generation launch titles. The sport occurs in a near-future Chicago which players will explore Grand Theft Auto-style, with the twist that lots of the city’s electronic devices are accessible and hackable. The sport also features Dark Souls-style invasion multiplayer mechanic that was recently previewed:
