Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja 4

February 20th 2009 07:42

Atari Europe has today confirmed that the next instalment in the Ultimate Ninja franchise, following the adventures of young ninja Naruto, will be arriving across May on PlayStation 2.

Set over two years after Naruto leaves the seclusion of the Hidden Leaf Village, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja 4 follows the storyline of his return to the village, where a new threat – the Akatsuki – have appeared in the shadows. Over 52 players make up a jam-packed roster in the one-on-one beat-em-up, which will also include a more narrative-driven 'Master Mode' that unlocks the story behind Naruto's return.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja 4 has been developed by CyberConnect2, and first launched in Japan back in April 2007. A fifth instalment was released in the Far East back in December 2008, so with some luck we may receive that sometime during Christmas 2010.

The trainee ninja has so far made a single appearance on PlayStation 3 in Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, which was also developed by CyberConnect2.

Set two and a half years after Naruto left the Hidden Leaf Village to undergo a strict training regiment with his mentor Jiraiya, NARUTO SHIPPUDEN : Ultimate Ninja 4 lets players experience this exciting new storyline for the first time.

Returning to help save his rival Sasuke from the evil Orochimaru, Naruto is reunited with all his old friends, only to find that a mysterious organization known as Akatsuki now poses a more ominous threat to the Village.

Mario And Luigi RPG3 (Exploring Bowser's Internal Organs)

February 1st 2009 10:14

Details on the third Mario & Luigi RPG are still a little vague, since its unveiling back in October. However a recent update to the game's Japanese website has revealed a surprising twist.

With the ability to take control of Bowser alongside the brothers previously being revealed, it appears that both Mario and Luigi have found themselves exploring the insides of Bowser.

Exactly what Mario and Luigi are doing exploring around Bowser's internal organs remains to be seen, but it does appear to provide an intriguing gameplay slant. One video on the official website demonstrates Bowser drinking water, which in turn causes further obstacles for the intrepid duo to overcome.

Prince Of Persia

February 1st 2009 08:55

Prince of Persia Epilogue, the first portion of DLC for Ubisoft's 2008 reworking of Jordan Mechner's iconic franchise, is due out on February 26th and is set to add new powers and attacks for the prince as well as a whole new region to explore.

The Underground Palace is the setting for the Epilogue DLC, where gamers will have to aid the Prince and Elika's escape attempts from this corrupted subterranean lair.

To help them along their way, Ubisoft has wilfully provided a new power for the Prince called 'Energize', which allows him to reconstruct destroyed areas of the game environment for a short period, and a new 'Sprinting Clash' attack that's pretty much as it sounds.

Ubisoft is touting a 3 hour length for the DLC and upon completion of the content you will be rewarded with new skins of Elika and the Prince that show how they looked during the prototype stage of development.

Set in a land rooted in ancient Persian mythology, the Prince finds himself caught in an epic battle between the forces of light and darkness: the God of Light versus his brother, the destructive God of Darkness. The Prince arrives just in time to witness the destruction of the legendary Tree of Life, which threatens to plunge the world into darkness. Now the Prince must partner with Elika, a deadly companion, to heal the world from the evil Corruption.

Available on PC, 360, PS3

Boom Blox Bash Party

February 1st 2009 05:57

Boom Blox Bash Party, the sequel to last year's Boom Blox, has been announced by EA as part of the publisher's collaboration with Steven Spielberg and is due out on Nintendo's Wii during the spring of this year.

The first game won plaudits last spring for its innovative design and original gameplay, which challenged players to bring down towers of blocks by hurling objects (or 'tools') such as baseballs at them using the Wii's motion controlled Remote.

In a marked expansion from the original, Bash Party will boast a variety of new features such as underwater and zero gravity stages across over 400 levels in the main game. As the Bash Party moniker suggests, multiplayer has also been expanded considerably, with twice as many challenges as the first game and new team-based events.

New 'tools' include a cannon, slingshot, and paintballs, while fresh blox have been brought to the stage including cylindrical and wedge shaped pieces, as well as the intriguing virus and conveyor blox.

"Boom Blox Bash Party is a wild social gaming experience," said Steven Spielberg. "We know families and friends really enjoyed playing the original Boom Blox together, so we designed more explosive multiplayer experiences with Boom Blox Bash Party."

There's also a new range of characters for Bash Party, who will actually form part of the gameplay this time around as they can be both stacked among other blox and thrown at the destructible towers as well.

An enhanced Create Mode now allows users to rate levels designed by EA and other Boom Blox players across an online community, expanding on the limited options from the first game that only allowed sharing between your friends list on Wii Connect 24.

"In Boom Blox Bash Party we are taking the game elements to the extreme," said Amir Rahimi, Senior Producer. "In the original Boom Blox, we really focused on perfecting the game's physics so now we can push the boundaries of physics, offering exciting new challenges and completely new ways to play."
