Posted on May 17, 2012 by John Scalzo

We don’t know if these Batman: Arkham City-inspired character models will make it into Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, but they definitely should. The striking white-on-white art style of Arkham City really works when applied to Lego minifigs.

You can view the three pieces of concept art (featuring Robin, The Joker, and Catwoman) in a gallery after the break.

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes will be in stores on June 19 for the 3DS, DS, PC, PS3, Vita, Wii, and Xbox 360. (more…)

Nintendo Download: Mario Kart 7 update, Kirby’s Block Ball

Posted on May 17, 2012 by John Scalzo

This week’s Nintendo Download brings with it an update for Mario Kart 7. If you want to continue playing the 3DS racer online, you’ll have to download this update, which permanently eliminates shortcut exploits from from the tracks “Wuhu Loop,” “Maka Wuhu,” and “Bowser Castle 1.”

When it comes to new games, there’s Kirby’s Block Ball for the 3DS eShop. Originally released on the Game Boy, so not exactly a new game, Kirby’s Block Ball drops the pink puffball into a Breakout-like adventure.

But there is one actual new game this week and its Chronicles of Vampires: The Awakening, a hidden object game that’s now available on the DSiWare Shop.

Nintendo bringing two new Pokemon games to 3DS eShop this year

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Melissa Niedringhaus

In an effort to help enhance people’s experience when playing Pokémon Black Version 2 or Pokémon White Version 2 on the 3DS, which was developed for the DS family of systems, and can only be played in 2D, Nintendo has announced two companion titles that can be downloaded from the 3DS eShop this Autumn.

Pokémon Dream Radar allows players to discover and catch hidden Pokémon using the Nintendo 3DS camera, motion control, and augmented reality technology. Pokémon caught in this way can be transferred into Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2. Pokémon Dream Radar includes some hard to get Pokémon, so downloading this title can help you build your roster.

Pokédex 3D Pro includes detailed information about all of the Pokémon featured in the history of the series, tools for sorting, comparison, and ranking, and details on what abilities each Pokémon can learn and how it evolves. All Pokémon are unlocked from the start, and you can take photos of Pokémon in the real world using the 3DS camera.

For more information about any of these games, visit the official Pokémon website.
