Joystiq Streams: A graveyard smash in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

True story: Joystiq Streams was going to broadcast Shovel Knight, the pixel-y, Metroidvania-y, Mega Man-y game coming to Wii U, PC, and Mac this spring, with Yacht Club Games today. Unfortunately those plans fell through at the last minute, leaving the Streams crew desperately thirsty for 2D art and the exploration of interconnected, lushly animated environments. We crave double jumps and locked doors and wacky save rooms! Only one thing could possibly slake our thirst: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Starting at 4PM EST on the Joystiq Twitch channel, Joystiq's Richard Mitchell will play Castlevania: Symphony of the Night from the beginning, right when Richter Belmont and Dracula are in the thick of Aaron Sorkin-style banter. Anthony John Agnello will hang in the chat, feeding your questions to him. Some other guests may join us as we play. Dracula's castle is unpredictable. Crazy things happen.

Total War™: ROME II Hannibal at the Gates, all new content for Total War™: ROME II is Now Available on Steam!

Dropping you into the Western Mediterranean at the outbreak of the 2nd Punic War, Hannibal at the Gates features a new campaign map focused on the period that brought the ancient-world superpowers of Rome and Carthage to all-out war.

One of the most famous in history, the conflict demonstrated the tactical genius of great rival generals Scipio and Hannibal. Can you recreate their remarkable strategies, or can you do better? How will you change history?

You enter the war as Carthage or Rome, command the noble Hellenic city-state of Syracuse, or, for the first time in ROME II, play an Iberian faction as the Arevaci or the Lusitani.

Temple Of The Muses: Spirit
rockpapershotgun.com posted by Rock, Paper, Shotgun Mar 27 2014 18:00 GMT in PC Gaming News
- Like?

Writing about Spirit is a rare pleasure, not only because it looks like a lovely riff on the same ideas that Sword & Sorcery EP lovingly explored, but also because it has a Kickstarter campaign which has already met its goal. And there’s a demo (Win/Mac). The pressure is off, although there are stretch goals, including the rather grand promise of a world double the size of that originally planned and an entire spiritual sequel. The player controls a man who has retired to a remote mountain village but he cannot rest. Beyond a nearby valley lies an ancient temple and he sets out on a journey to visit that temple. The journey may be spiritual. The temple may contain zombies.

Hex Heroes dev pledges to stick with Nintendo, explains their Wii U support

The following comes from a Polygon interview with Mario Castañeda of Prismatic...

"We're getting a lot of support from fellow developers and it's giving us confidence that this game is something people would want to see. We're huge Nintendo fans, and we've been wanting to develop something for Wii U since we heard about it back in 2011. Wii U is the only thing that offers asymmetric gameplay right out of the box.

They're (Nintendo) really quite friendly in organizing things, if you just reach out to them. We don't want to jump ship from Nintendo, even when it seems like every triple-A developer is."

Dragon Quest X is yet to leave Japan. For all we know, it may stay there forever. What w know for sure is that the game has sold a million copies, as confirmed by Square-Enix. No details on platform breakdown, but I'm guessing Wii sold more than Wii U.

Dead Synchronicity devs have received multiple requests for Wii U port

A portion of a 4cr interview with Fictionrama Studios...


4cr: Once the main goal is reached, Dead Synchronicity is set to launch on PC and Mac. Have you considered releasing the game on consoles such as Wii U, PS4 or XBO?

FS: Right now we haven’t ruled out the option for porting the game to other platforms, especially to those that have a tactile interface, something we believe is ideal for adventure games. In fact, during the last couple of weeks we’ve received a ton of suggestions to port the game to the Wii U.

Our top priority right now is making sure the Kickstarter is a success so that we can develop the PC and Mac versions for 2014 (and Linux port will be our first “stretch goal” once we go over the $45,000 from the main goal).

After that, it will be ported to iPad in 2015, and we’ll see what happens next!
