03/03/2016 - Monster Hunter Generations Announced for Nintendo 3DSMonster Hunter GenerationsTM Announced for Nintendo 3DSTM Most Customizable Monster HunterTM Experience Ever Coming Summer 2016 in the West SAN FRANCISCO — March 3, 2016
— Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, announced Monster Hunter Generations™
for the Nintendo 3DS™ family of systems during today’s Nintendo Direct broadcast. Coming in summer
2016, and initially released in Japan as Monster Hunter X, the western release of Monster Hunter Generations
is the newest installment in the popular action RPG series, which has sold more than 36 million units worldwide. It is the
most customizable Monster Hunter™ experience to date, and serves as a fitting tribute to the last decade of
the series. A blend of brand new areas and monsters join returning fan-favorites which have been updated and adapted to the
latest generation of gameplay.
In Monster Hunter Generations, players take up the esteemed
role of a hunter, seeking out and vanquishing a variety of colossal creatures throughout the world. Players can earn Zenny
and collect resources that can be used for crafting powerful weapons and armor which are styled after the monsters they have
defeated. On their journey, players must defend each of the game’s four villages from the threat of major new menaces
known collectively as the Fated Four.
This latest installment marks the debut of new gameplay mechanics such as
Styles and Hunter Arts which allow players to create the most custom, personalized playstyle of any Monster Hunter
game yet. Players can choose from four distinct combat Styles, like Aerial which adds the ability to attack and mount monsters
from mid-air. With the introduction of devastating new attack skills and power-ups known as Hunter Arts, the action looks
more visually striking than ever before on Nintendo 3DS.
For the first time in the series, players will have the
ability to now play as a Felyne themselves in the new Prowler Mode. In this mode, there are even more adventures to be had
in unique quests playing either as a Felyne alone or with up to three other companions in group quests. With hundreds of quests
in store for hunters and Felynes, there are tons of challenges to tackle in the solo adventure, and also multiplayer quests
via local or online play, opening up the epic world of Monster Hunter to players of all levels.
As part
of the Nintendo Direct today, it was also announced that Monster Hunter Generations will feature
a unique armor set based on Marth from the tactical RPG series Fire Emblem. Fans can look forward to this and more
collaborations with popular series for special themed gear for both hunters and their custom Felyne support partners known
as Palicoes.

03/02/2016 - Gunfight Dungeon Craweler 'Enter the Gungeon" Coming April 5thGUNFIGHT DUNGEON CRAWLER
‘ENTER THE GUNGEON’ SET TO RELEASE APRIL 5
- Dodging and Rolling All Over PlayStation 4 and PC -
The Gungeon – The noted pun artists of Dodge Roll Games and the firearm enthusiasts of Devolver Digital
have announced that Enter the Gungeon will launch on April 5 for PlayStation 4 and PC/Mac/Linux.
Enter the Gungeon is a gunfighting dungeon crawler following a band of misfits seeking to shoot, loot, dodge roll and table-flip
their way to personal absolution by reaching the legendary Gungeon’s ultimate treasure: the gun that can kill the past.
Select a hero to battle alone or with a fellow Gungeoneer in co-op mode as you blast your way to the bottom of the Gungeon
through a challenging and evolving series of floors filled with the dangerously adorable members of the Cult of the Gundead.
Gather precious loot, discover hidden secrets, and chat with opportunistic merchants and shopkeepers to purchase powerful
items to gain an edge.
“Enter the Gungeon dares to dream about what would happen if you shot bullets at bullets that were shooting bullets
back at you,” said Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker. “Gun on gun crime is a real issue and I’m going to
exploit it for money.”
Brave Gungeoneers will be armed to the teeth with hundreds of unique weapons and items for dangerous encounters with legions
of gun-toting bullets. Handcrafted rooms combine to form procedurally generated dungeons and create a seamless new adventure
as players unlock new weapons, uncover new secrets, and meet new allies sympathetic to their struggle. There’s also
something called the Shotgun of Hate so get ready for that little gem.

02/29/2015 - Craziness is coming on March 2Craziness is coming on March 2!
Barcelona -
February 18th, 2016 Lubiterum, young indie game development studio from Barcelona and the game label The Sidekicks
are proud to announce that Crazy Pixel Streaker will be available for PC on Steam as soon as march 2.
The game will go into an Early Access period meant to gather as many gamers as possible in order to test and review
the online cooperative battle mode, one of the key feature of the game. During Early Access, the studio will also invite the
community to take part into the game craziness and invent and propose the most unexpected weapons and hats. The best suggestions
will be added to the game.
Lubiterum announces that this Early Access is meant to be a short “polishing”
phase and the final release on Steam for PC, Mac and Linux is scheduled before summer. Console
players can expect a release on Playstation 4 and Xbox One during Q4 2016, right in time to bring the craziness for
Christmas.
As a reminder, Crazy Pixel Streaker is a fresh and insane brawler with rogue like elements. It comes
with a retro look as crazy as its instantly fun gameplay. Players control a team of stupid streakers abducted by angry aliens
and forced to crash the field into the Earthian most popular sport competitions in order to steal the trophies. They
will have to survive huge waves of security agents using devastating weapons like watermelon bazooka or Coke & Mentos
Grenades. They will get to fight epic bosses and even ride a magical rainbow pig!
Joan Godoy, founder of Lubiterum,
says: “After months of development we are ready to spread craziness and chaos in the world. Our goal with Crazy Pixel
Streaker is to offer anything but fun. Just instant fun whether playing solo or with your friends. We inspired from old arcade
games to build the game with the idea to get players just to focus on kicking, shooting, laughing and, of course, running
naked into the fields. We want everyone to say “WTF is that game?” and then get stuck into our funny madness.”
Crazy Pixel Streaker will be available on Steam on march 2. The Early Access will be proposed at the
special price of 9.99€ / 9.99$.
