THE PLOT
It has been two years since the end of the second Gemini war, the situation in the
wartorn system is further from a resolution than ever.
The collection of freedom fighters named Gemini League is
now reduced to a small group, with no power or influence, after losing their leaders. The Empire meanwhile, has re-opened
the Starpoint to occupy the once renegade Gemini sector - and beyond.
A multitude of Imperial warship fleets and
mammoth motherships have crushed every trace of opposition. The situation was looking bleak, when they suddenly halted their
armada and re-shifted their focus on fortifying Starpoint with staggering numbers. Rumours soon spread that they were afraid
of something coming after them through the T-gate, from what was supposed to be the core of the Empire. What are they running
from that makes even the mighty Empire tremble?
Starpoint Gemini 2 will take players on a breath
taking journey with dark secrets and unimaginable twists that will finally unveil the incredible truth.

12/09/2015 - Super Mario Maker Received Free New Sponsored ContentSuper Mario Maker Revs Up with Free New Content Created by Mercedes-Benz
REDMOND, Wash., Dec. 9, 2015 – Mercedes-Benz has created an
original Super Mario Maker Event Course that will be delivered with a special costume for players to unlock at no additional charge. The course,
called Mercedes-Benz Jump’n’Drive, arrives today and includes an unlockable Mercedes-Benz GLA costume that shows
Mario in the driver’s seat. Once players unlock it by completing the level, they can add it to their collection of Mystery
Mushroom costumes.
“Super Mario Maker continues to grow and evolve with new courses and content,”
said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “It’s great
that a luxury car brand like Mercedes-Benz recognizes the ability to create fun courses and share them with others.”
This special content marks the second time that Mercedes-Benz has made fun additions to a Nintendo game: The GLA is
one of multiple free downloadable vehicles in Mario Kart 8. The new Super Mario Maker Event Course was created by Mario fans at Mercedes-Benz who were inspired by the
GLA’s appearance in Mario Kart 8 and wanted to build a level with Mario taking the GLA on a road trip. The
Mercedes-Benz Event Course takes players through a variety of automotive-related areas, including being at the dealership,
taking a test drive through a city and eventually cruising down the autobahn. And as with any good Mario level, some surprises
wait to be discovered.
“We are delighted to once again be represented in a blockbuster game like Super
Mario Maker,” says Dr. Jens Thiemer, Vice President Marketing Mercedes-Benz cars. “Mercedes-Benz and Super
Mario have a lot in common. Above all, they share the same vision: to inspire their customers and fans.”
The
Super Mario Maker game lets players create, play and share their own Mario courses using a wide array of enemies, objects
and power-ups. Millions of courses have been uploaded for people to play, many using elements of the Mushroom Kingdom in ways
never before encountered. Nintendo also has previously added a course designed by Facebook, the course featured in the final
round of the 2015 PAX Prime Omegathon and other courses designed by Nintendo.
The Mercedes-Benz Jump’n’Drive
level is available in the “Event Courses” section of Super Mario Maker, which showcases special levels
presented by Nintendo and partners. The level from Mercedes-Benz, the game’s exclusive automotive partner, can be downloaded
for free by everyone who owns the game.
Remember that Wii U features parental controls that let adults manage the
content their children can access. For more information about this and other features, visit http://www.nintendo.com/wiiu . For more information about Super Mario Maker, visit http://supermariomaker.nintendo.com.
