    New Video Game Release Date List!

    The new video game release date highlights for the week of May 20, 2013 on Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Playstation Vita, Nintendo Wii, Wii U, Sony PS Vita, Nintendo DS, 3DS, and PC/Mac include Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, , nd a few more gems...

    Donkey Kong’s smash-hit return to platforming is being rebuilt from the ground up for portable play on the Nintendo 3DS system. Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D brings back all of the ground-pounding, barrel-rolling action of the original, but this time it comes to life with stunning 3D visuals, including local wireless multiplayer and 8 new levels.

    Join Donkey Kong on his adventure to reclaim his stolen banana hoard as you explore over 70 levels filled with richly detailed environments. Guide Donkey Kong and his pint-sized friend Diddy Kong by running, jumping, swinging, rail-riding, and barrel blasting to scour 8 original worlds plus 8 new challenging levels in an unlockable 9th world. All while searching for lost bananas, hidden secrets, and puzzles pieces. You can also share in the adventure by playing cooperatively with a friend via local wireless. Play in Original Mode to experience the game as it was originally designed, or play the original levels in New Mode with new enhancements for on-the-go ease of play.

    They thought they had escaped the terrors of Banoi and survived the apocalypse on a corrupted paradise. Then their fate took a turn for the worse... The Dead Island heroes managed to escape in a helicopter to the safety of a military ship, but when a furious storm strikes out of the blue, the virus that began the initial zombie plague suddenly spreads throughout the crew. And just like that, the nightmare has started all over again, leaving hope drowning in the rising tides.

  • Nintendo 3DS Downloadable Update Live, Full Details

    Nintendo has released a downloadable update for Nintendo 3DS that will add new functionality to the hand-held system. Items featured in the update include:

    • A tool that allows Nintendo 3DS users to transfer save data from the packaged version of a game to the downloadable version. Players that originally purchased a physical version of a game will be able to pick up right where they left off with their save data if they decide to purchase the digital version of the same game. Save data that is transferred to a digital game cannot be moved back to the physical version.

    • An improvement to the feature that downloads items in the background when the Nintendo 3DS system is in Sleep Mode. Items will now download when the Nintendo eShop is running. Users can simply close the system cover to activate the "Download Later" feature and the game or application will begin to download.
