Battle: Los Angeles KONAMI and Saber Interactive team up to create an immersive First Person Shooter experience based on the
Columbia Pictures upcoming feature film Battle: Los Angeles
In advance of the nationwide release of Columbia Pictures’ action film Battle: Los Angeles, in cinemas
in March, 2011, Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH today announced Battle: Los Angeles, the video game will
be available on the PlayStationÒNetwork, on Xbox LiveÒ Arcade and Windows PC download. Players will have the
opportunity to relive the thrill of the movie as they assume the role of Corporal Lee Imlay and fight alongside characters
from the film and defend the city of Los Angeles from attacks from unknown forces.
“KONAMI jumped at the
opportunity to team up with Columbia Pictures and publish the Battle: Los Angeles video game,” said
Careen Yapp, Vice President of Acquisitions and Franchise Development Konami Digital Entertainment. “We love the movie
and it was a great experience working with Saber – there were some great ideas about how to expand the story into a
game. It’s a great chance for gamers and moviegoers to play out the world of the film.”
“Battle:
Los Angeles is a tremendously thrilling game and a perfect complement to our film. Saber and KONAMI have creatively
entered the world of the film and used it as a canvas for a rich, exciting game,” said Mark Caplan, Vice President Consumer
Products, Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Developed by Saber Interactive and powered by the Saber3D Engine, Battle:
Los Angeles is a high-end fast and frantic first–person shooter game that will take players through a single
player campaign that mirrors the upcoming feature film. Players will assume the role of a Marine fighting against a worldwide
alien invasion that has the city of Los Angeles as the major battleground and focal point for the game. Players will battle
unique and varied enemies using an arsenal of weapons throughout the game like an assault rifle, sniper rifle, rocket launcher,
frag grenades, and a turret gun as they navigate the streets of Los Angeles avoiding fierce and relentless attacks.
Aside from high-caliber fire fighting combat, destructible environments have been included using the Havok Destruction Module
which will allow players to destroy scaffolding structures, vehicles and overpasses to eliminate enemy forces. With unlockable
content, trophy support, and 5.1 surround sound, Battle: Los Angeles will pull players deep into the heart

03/03/2011 - 3D Netflix Coming to Nintendo 3DSNINTENDO PLANS NEW 3D SUPER MARIO GAME, ANNOUNCES AT&T, NETFLIX COLLABORATIONS
SAN
FRANCISCO, March 2, 2011 – A new 3D game from Nintendo's iconic Super Mario series is in the works
for the Nintendo 3DS™ portable system. Nintendo also announced two upcoming collaborations: Nintendo
3DS owners will be able to connect automatically to the Internet at more than 10,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots, while Netflix
members will instantly stream movies and other content on their Nintendo 3DS systems. These features were announced today
at the Game Developers Conference during Nintendo President Satoru Iwata's keynote address, titled "Video Games Turn
25: A Historical Perspective and Vision for the Future."
During his speech, Iwata said Nintendo 3DS gives developers new tools to create games and experiences never before
possible while enabling them to reach the public in new ways. "There
is great potential to increase the number of people who enjoy video games by opening up new game-play opportunities that are
only available through the use of 3D." Iwata said. "Nintendo 3DS will be the most connected Nintendo device ever,
with its ability to link people via local wireless connections, while at the same time connecting them to people and content
worldwide via hotspot connectivity." Nintendo 3DS launches
March 27 in the United States at a suggested retail price of $249.99. It lets users view 3D content without the need for special
glasses. The announced 3D Super Mario game will feature traditional Mario™ game play and will fulfill
the dream of Nintendo video game designer (and Mario creator) Shigeru Miyamoto to bring true depth and distance into the game's
mechanics. The game is being developed by the same Nintendo team that created the Wii™ console hits Super Mario Galaxy™ and Super
Mario Galaxy 2. At the end of May, Nintendo will provide
Nintendo 3DS owners with a wireless system update that will activate the Nintendo eShop and give users access to a number
of features: - A short-form video service will let people
view trailers for Hollywood movies in 3D and access video game trailers, screen shots, background information and links to
publishers' websites. Content will include short video clips, such as comedy shorts or music videos, selected by Nintendo
and delivered to Nintendo 3DS users who choose to receive them.
- Downloadable
classic games via the portable Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console™ service will include Game Boy™ and Game Boy Color
games, as well as those from the Game Gear and TurboGrafx-16 systems.
- "3D Classics" will introduce select classic video games remastered in 3D.
- Games currently offered as Nintendo DSiWare™ and an Internet browser will be available.
The system update will also provide a solution for Nintendo DSi™ and Nintendo DSi XL™ owners to transfer their Nintendo DSiWare games to their new Nintendo
3DS systems. To help make the wireless features of Nintendo
3DS as smooth as possible, Nintendo has collaborated with AT&T to provide Nintendo 3DS owners with automatic and free
access to more than 10,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots nationwide with the May system update. Nintendo's aim is to make getting
connected easy for everyone, so people who opt in to the system's SpotPass™ service will tell their Nintendo 3DS systems
to automatically connect to AT&T Hot Spots at restaurants, book stores, coffee shops and airports across the country. This summer, Nintendo 3DS will incorporate Netflix functionality. Netflix members
who have an unlimited plan starting at $7.99 a month can access a broadband wireless Internet connection and instantly stream
movies and TV shows directly to their Nintendo 3DS systems, similar to how the service is used on the Wii console. This means
people can start watching a movie via Netflix on their Wii systems at home and then pick up the same movie later from a different
location using their Nintendo 3DS systems. For more information
