Hey Geeksters!

Sony
Not much happened with Sony in the gaming world beside them shutting off the beta for Street Fighter 5.

Xbox
The Xbox one is getting a certain gem of game remastered for backwards compatabitly before the big update in November. The “Indie” game studio The Behemoth is bringing Castle Crasher to the Xbox One to complete their trio of games. With the remaster comes a new game mode called Back Off Barbarian and other basic upgrade like 60 frames and gameplay tweaks. Now for the best part: if you already own Castle Crashers on the 360 the remaster is free.

Nintendo
So Nintendo finally decided they want more of their money, and went ahead and said they will be releasing the regular New 3ds this Fall as a standalone and in a bundle with… Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer. The bundle will set you back $220 plus tax and they haven’t set a price on the stand alone handheld. The other thing they announced was that Xenoblade Chronicles X special edition would come stateside and you could pre-order that day…and it sold out, in an hour….Animal Crossing took a full week to sell out.

I just want to put the last part in perspective. Xenoblade Chronicles X is a sequel to Xenoblade Chronicles which had a very niche audience. It’s one of the games Nintendo doesn’t really talk about, because it’s made by other people. Animal Crossing is made by Nintendo and is one of their most beloved franchises.

That’s it for me.

See you all in the next level.
