Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice Announced

The Latest Sonic Game Is Coming to the 3DS!

Sonic Boom is back on Nintendo’s handheld, after the moderate critical and commercial reception of the previous entry on the 3DS, Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystals.
It’s noteworthy that there’s no Wii U game announced, at least at the time of announcement.

Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice for the 3DS is “coming soon”, we’re guessing later this year, and it seems to follow a similar formula to the previous title, with the addition to the fire and ice gameplay feature.
You can watch the announcement trailer below:

Mega Man Legacy Collection Announced!

The Complete NES Mega Man Collection

Capcom dropped the news on Mega Man’s official social media,  the Legacy Collection will include Mega Man 1 to 6, which are all existing main line Mega Man games on the NES.
The Legacy Collection will be arriving to the Play Station S4, PC and Xbox One this summer, the 3DS version is set to follow later in the winter.

Mega Man Anniversary Collection
back on the GCN, PS2 and Xbox.
Mega Man Legacy Collection will not only include the classic games in an HD render, but it’ll also include unlockables like artwork and sketches, and features such as challenge mode, leaderboards and replays, at the moment is unknown if this’ll be part of a bigger Mega Man celebration, like a second part collection or a brand new game, Capcom is yet to reveal any other Mega news, and with E3 just around the corner we just might hear of something soon.
The strange part about this bundle is that it’s lacking many games that previous Mega Man Collections included, for example, Mega Man Anniversary Collection, back on the GameCube, PS2 and Xbox, included Mega Man 1 to 8, Mega Man: The Power Battle and The Power Fighters, four games more than this collection, and even following the theming of this collection, which is 8-Bit Style Mega Man, is missing Mega Man 9 and 10, which marked the return of Mega Man to that same art style.
You can watch the official Mega Man Legacy Collection Announcement Trailer here:
Are you excited for this collection? Or are you hoping it’s part of something bigger for the blue bomber? Please let us know in the comment section bellow.

Splatoon Will Be Bringing Another Update Tonight!

Retouching Inkbrush

Nintendo has announced that today at 7 pm PT, an update will come to Splatoon were we’ll be receiving a new weapon, the Inkbrush, while it was previously announced, it has finally been given a date, alongside with some neat screen shots.

Splatoon’s new weapon, the Inkbrush!

The Inkbrush will be very similar to the roller, in fact, it seems to fall into the “roller” category, but it leaves a much smaller trail, lets you run much faster, and it seems that it splashes more paint when you attack.

Splatoon is definitely the biggest game of the summer for Wii U owners, it sold out in Japan to the point where Nintendo had to apologize for short supply of the game, and its online has proven to be one of Nintendo’s best online experiences to date, and its updates are an indication of not slowing down.
You can watch the official announcement tweet bellow:
What do you think of these Splatoon updates, are they a cool new addition to the game, or are they something that should’ve been there in the first place? Let us know what you think in the comments bellow, thanks and have a good day.

TVG Review: Splatoon

Splatoon Review

Nintendo has been on a roll lately when it comes to bringing new IPs to their systems, from the Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta, to this year’s Codename S.T.E.A.M., and Splatoon might just be one of the best new IPs that the Wii U has seen!
Splatoon is a family-friendly, creative third person shooter with platforming that takes an exciting new take on one of the the most crowded and uninspired genres in gaming.
If you’re into shooting games, the gameplay in Splatoon will not leave you disappointed, it’s one of the games to make some of the best use out of the Wii U Gamepad, with your standard First Person Shooter controllers with a giros-censor to bring more accuracy to your aim, plus a handy map that shows were and if your allies need help. The button layout is intuitive and you’ll quickly get the balance between the right stick and the motion controls.
The presentation of this game great, you’ll find a lot of detail in every element of the game, the paint looks really liquid, the squids look slippery,  gravity and movement feels real, the hub world feels alive and functional.
Overall, this game has some fantastic graphics for its system, detailed textures and creative designs, and the fact that it runs at 60 frames per second is not bad at all!

The solo campaign is pretty meaty for a multiplayer-based game. It has some fun characters, amazing level designs, and it’s gradually challenging, growing with the learning curve, making a very satisfying and personal experience.
The boss fights are also very creative and will take some thinking to beat, functioning like puzzles, to not spoil much details on the solo campaign with too much information, we’ll just say that it’s very interesting and not repetitive.
The online multiplayer experience in this gameis one of the best the Wii U has to offer, with lobbies, friend-matching, customizable characters, and unlockable modes as you rank up (some of them will be locked for the first week of the game, waiting for enough players to rank high enough).
The lack of online voice chat will definitely make the experience feel incomplete to some, however, it is noteworthy that there’s an alert system in the game that functionally replaces the voice chat, even if it’s not as fun.
If you were looking at Splatoon to be the next Wii U old school local multiplayer with all players sitting on one couch having fun, this game isn’t for you. While Splatoon does have a local multiplayer mode, it’s just a 2-player, competitive match were whoever pops more balloons with their paint wins.
While it’s quite fun to have a couple matches with a friend, it gets boring really quick and you’ll even prefer to take turns on online matches. So, if you want local fun, you might be set with something more like Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart 8, or Mario Party 10.
Overall, Splatoon is a great experience for people who like shooting plays and play solo locally or enjoy addictive online multiplayer, but for people looking for a local multiplayer experience, you are better off checking out other games on the Wii U.

Sonic, Mega Man & X Meet Once Again in the Comic Book Event: Worlds Unite

Sega & Capcom Unite to Bring the Biggest Video Game Cross Over in Comic Book History!

Sonic the Hedgehog’s Archie Comic Series is the longest running and most successful comic book series based on a video game character, so it’s no surprise that Sonic is actually a pulling force in this area, with previous cross overs with other Sega series, adaptations of games, and his previous cross over with the blue bomber himself.

The event will start May the 27th, and will feature characters from multiple Sega and Capcom characters from across different franchises, such as Street Fighter, Viewtiful Joe, Ghosts n’ Goblins, and the previously mentioned Sonic the Hedgehog, Mega Man, and Mega Man X.
You can read the official announcement over at Sonic the Hedgehog’s Official Facebook Account.
