Resident Evil Revelations: Launch Video

, , ,

Resident Evil: Revelations (or Revelaitons for some of us) came out yesterday in North America, and after a couple chapters I am happy to report that the feel of the game can be placed right between RE1 and RE4. By which of course I mean creepy, spooky, and thrilling like the original, but still with action controls and the highly successful camera angles and views from 4. I am not using a Circle Pad Pro, and so far, no problems. Here's the launch trailer...

N+ Theme: Jungle Pass

, , ,

I knew this month was going to be themed after Metal Gear Solid 3D: Snake Eater, but before I even had any idea of how I was going to draw it, I KNEW I needed to tile the background with snake skin, I was never going to get a better opportunity to do something so venomous to the site. After I was able to put together an image that tiled flawlessly out of a snake photo, I set to work on the actual art itself.

The artwork is more "watery" than any of the other artwork I have done thus far for the site, and it's because I really wanted to give it a nice style that maybe touched on the older artwork the Metal Gear games used to get treated with. It's a little similar, but a little different too, just like the re-make for the 3DS. It's the old game, with a ton of new features built in, and of course is eye popping 3D. I hope you enjoy what I am calling "Jungle Pass", my favorite part is the fact that Snake noticed he street-passed someone in the jungle (lucky jerk) and has to stop his mission to check it out - it was probably that real snake he doesn't notice next to him... and yes I know that you can't really see the green light from the back of the unit, and yes, I know the light turns off as soon as you open the system. Shut up.

As always, theres a big fat wallpaper sized version in the N+ art gallery. So tell me, what do you think?

Controversy Beyond the Labyrinth

, , ,

UPDATE: It seems as though this has all been a prank that uses an in-game clothes editing feature to disguise an innocent dress as a risqué conversation piece.

  • The game lets you use photoshop for costume customization. (It's unclear if the game itself makes any special accommodations for Photoshop use, or if you're just importing jpeg or bmp data which can of course be edited in Photoshop).
  • You can also use the net to trade your clothes with others. (Same as above, it's unclear if internet exchanges are part of the game or if you can just exchange image data online via your PC).

And quite frankly, the clothes that can be made with this are impressive. Choose a source for more pictures and information, they're all a good read.

Gold Pants Get: Resident Evil Revelations

, , , ...

Welcome to our first episode of Gold Pants Get! where we bring you QR codes or report on special events where you can get the elusive Mii characters who wear gold pants! Why are these Miis so special? other than being the best thing to happen to gold pants since disco, they are 100% official Miis created by or endorsed by Nintendo. You may have a Mr. Mii-amoto you are pretty proud of in your 3DS, but if it has gold pants - it means it's the real deal, the one made by Miyamoto himself. Remember, if you ever get these radiant characters, do not delete them! you can only scan them once!

In this episode I have four gold pants Miis for you to scan! They are the four leading characters in Resident Evil Revelations, and while they all have their Japanese names when you scan them into your system, they are the official Capcom created Miis. They were distributed in Japan via promotional posters, thankfully someone photographed crooked photos of them and posted them up. I straightened everything out for you though. While most regional gold pants Mii QR codes are locked out of other regions, these ones are not! so read more and start scanning!

PREVIEW: Super Mario Crossover 2.0

, , , ...

Super Mario Crossover, the fan-made mashup that throws some of our favorite 8-bit heroes into the Mushroom Kingdom, is getting an update this spring.

Throwing in new levels, Super Nintendo graphics, Game Boy graphics, and a plethora of new characters, this looks more like a major overhaul than a standard update. Additional characters announced in the trailer include Luigi, Protoman, Trevor (Castlevania), Haggle Man (Ninja Gaiden), Demon (Kid Icarus), Bass (Mega Man), Dark Link, and Dark Samus. Those last two I assume are merely extra costumes for Link and Samus.

Hit the jump for the 4 minute trailer and let your insides tingle with nostalgia.

Abobo's Big Adventure: A Tribute to Double Dragon's Baddie

For the uninformed, while we've been living our everyday lives on the surface, the folks over at I-Mockery have had their heads down working on a Nintendo fan's tribute for the ages.

Abobo's Big Adventure sees the titular villain-turned-victim seeking to get his son back from the 8-bit scum who have taken him captive. The gameplay starts out in traditional Double Dragon style, but Abobo's quest will see him traverse eight different 8-bit worlds, from Mario to Zelda, Kung-Fu and even Mega Man. The surprises and classic game references come in abundance as you fight a slew of NES heroes and villains.

Zelda Universe Members Decipher Skyward Font

, ,

Rumor has it that that the text used within Skyward Sword is from a time even immemorial to the game's own events. However, nothing can stand in the way of modern Zelda fans. Just such people have deciphered the entire Skyward Sword alphabet, and have taken the liberty of translating words found within the game (not just signs). What's more, ZU member Sarinilli has even created a font that you can download to type your own Skyward messages. Here's a few snippets from Sarinilli's page:
