Game & Wario wasn't always meant to be a standalone game. The upcoming Wii U game was originally planned to be a small demo pre-installed on Nintendo's latest console. However, Nintendo's Goro Abe explained that trying to make an experience that would appeal to everyone ended up being too restrictive for the creative process, and led to the game spinning off into a full release.
The Last of Us will give PS3 gamers a small taste of PS4's new accessibility features. Like many recent retail releases on PS3, the game will be available for download via PlayStation Network at launch. However, you won't have to dread having to download dozens of gigabytes at once before you can start playing.
This weekend has some cracking sales so it's hard to pick one headlining game, but Borderlands 2 for $11 is pretty darn good. Other exciting bargains include Sleeping Dogs for $6, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare for $7, Dark Souls for $8, The Walking Dead for $8, Batman: Arkham City GotY for $8, Hitman: Absolution for $9, Diablo 3 for $40, and a cracking bundle of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Civilization IV Complete, and Civ V Gold for $20.
Konami announced today that Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection will hit the PlayStation 3 on July 9, just barely missing its earlier stated target of June. As previously reported, the collection includes Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid 3: HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions, and Metal Gear Solid 4: Trophy Edition. The original MSX Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 are playable through MGS3. The two graphic novels from Ashley Woods detail the events of MGS1 and MGS2, and were previously only released on the PSP in North America.
EA Sports announced a limited Anniversary Edition of Madden 25 today. The $99 set comes with a one year subscription to DirecTV's NFL Sunday Ticket, which usually costs a few hundred bucks by itself.

This week, it's a special five-person edition of Weekend Confirmed! Hosts Garnett Lee and Jeff Cannata welcome in Shacknews' Andrew Yoon, Insomniac's James Stevenson, and Volition's Steve Jaros to discuss the Precursor Games Kickstarter and continue the look back at the previous generation by examining some of its most important games. Talk then turns to the Gran Turismo 6 announcement before adding some dream ideas for EA's future Star Wars titles. The show wraps up with some love for Metro: Last Light and a new round of finishing moves.
Square Enix is re-releasing Final Fantasy 8 for PC in Japan. Much like Square's recent PC port of Final Fantasy 7, it will sport higher resolutions than the game did in 1999.
Game Gear emulation on 3DS earned high marks from us when it launched, but its output since launch has been notably low. So low, in fact, that the three initial launch titles are still the only ones available. Nintendo has plans to change that, with a veritable flood of Game Gear titles making their way to the 3DS Virtual Console.
When Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was still Metal Gear Solid: Rising, it was supposed to be coming to PC as well as Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Then, the PC edition was silently ditched. Now, it's back. Developer Platinum Games today confirmed that yes, lucky PCnauts will get to cut cyborgs into tiny pieces with a cybersword.
Although Nintendo won't have a bombastic E3 keynote presentation like its competitors, that doesn't mean the company is going to sit idly by during the show. Instead, the company announced plans to give fans the opportunity to participate in this year's activities. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime outlined a plan to let players try the company's E3 lineup without flying to Los Angeles.
Playing a sport is easy, being good at one is hard, but being great at loads requires levels of speed, strength, and stamina that only portly plumbers and hedgehogs can summon. Next year's Winter Olympics brings another opportunity for Mario, Sonic and friends to show off their sporting prowess and by gum, they're jazzed to do so. (Nintendo and Sega today announced Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games for Wii U, I'm saying.)
How big is New Luigi U, the brotherly themed DLC pack for New Super Mario Bros U? So big that it's not just a downloadable expansion anymore.
New Super Luigi U will launch as DLC on June 20 for $19.99. On August 25, it will hit stores for $29.99. Nintendo said this was to facilitate players who may not own the original game but want to play as Luigi.
Nintendo outlined a slew of release dates during today's Nintendo Direct, which focused on its release plans for the summer. You'll be able to play Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, and Game & Wario before autumn (technically) begins.
Updated with additional details from Sega.
Sega's next Sonic the Hedgehog game, Sonic Lost World, will be exclusive to Nintendo Wii U and 3DS. "The onetime rivalry between Mario and Sonic has grown into a friendship that has never been closer," Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime said in the announcement.
According to Nintendo, this announcement demonstrates "the commitment we have to bringing great games to the Wii U platform." This comes a day after EA officially announced it was not developing games for Nintendo's latest home console.

We haven't heard a peep from Ubisoft on Rainbow 6 Patriots in a while, and a recent move from a retailer has raised further questions about the game's fate. GameStop has reportedly pulled the game from its database, and a source claims those in charge "actively flipped a switch" rather than any kind of automated time-based removal.
