English trailer for Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance

The North American website for the latest Kingdom Hearts game has just posted an English trailer.

If you own an Aqua Blue Nintendo 3DS, congrats. If not, you should nab one as soon as you can.

Why?

Nintendo announced that they’re discontinuing the Aqua Blue 3DS. They never stated why, however.

It looks like Lord of the Rings is the next franchise to get the Lego treatment.

The company has been giving previews for LotR Lego sets for this summer. The packaging on the sets includes the Lego logo and the logo for TT Games, which hints to a possible video game.

UK retailer ShopTo had a product listing for an Xbox release for Lego Lord of the Rings but had it removed. Before it was taken down, however, it said that the game was slated for an October 2012 release.

It’s only speculation for now but we’ll have to wait and see!

Apparently the Collectors’ Edition of Record of Agarest War 2 comes with an inflatable doll.

…Interesting.

The release date for Bioshock Infinite has been pushed back to February 26, 2013. The original release date was set for October 16, 2012.

The game’s creative director Kevin Levine sent out a message regarding the delay.

When we announced the release date of BioShock Infinite in March, we felt pretty good about the timing.

Since then, we’ve come to realize that some specific tweaks and improvements will make Infinite into something even more extraordinary. Therefore, to give our talented team the time they need, we’ve decided to move the game’s release to February 26, 2013. We wanted to let our loyal (and very patient!) fans know this as soon as possible.

I won’t kid you: BioShock Infinite is a very big game, and we’re doing things that no one has ever done in a first-person shooter. We had a similar experience with the original BioShock, which was delayed several months as our original ship date drew near. Why? Because the Big Daddies weren’t the Big Daddies you’ve since come to know and love. Because Andrew Ryan’s golf club didn’t have exactly the right swing. Because Rapture needed one more coat of grimy Art Deco.

The same principle now applies to BioShock Infinite.

What does this mean for you? It means a bit more waiting, but more importantly, it means an even better BioShock Infinite. The great can be made greater, and we owe it to both ourselves and to you, our fans, to take this opportunity. Irrational Games is one of those rare developers lucky enough to ask the people who sign the checks: “Hey, can we have a few more of those checks?”

We are also going to hold off on showing BioShock Infinite at the big events of the summer, like E3 and Gamescom. That way, the next time you see our game, it will be essentially the product we intend to put in the box. Preparing for these events takes time away from development, time we’re going to use instead to get the best version of Infinite into your hands in February.

Nomura Interview in Famitsu

Nomura’s interview with the latest issue of Famitsu has been summarized, thanks to the people at the Kingdom Hearts Ultimania.

He has expressed that the next title in the series will be some sort of a “fastball”. He’s still dancing around the topic of KHIII, however.

Dunno if that’s a good or bad thing…

Anyway, there are spoilers in the interview so I put it in a Read More.
