Shovel Knight Rides In Road Redemption
Road Redemption is shaping up to be the next-gen Road Rash we've always wanted but never got. Every trailer released for the title looks better than the last and numerous gameplay videos on YouTube show a game that is sure to please eager Wii U Owner's with tight control and fun gameplay. As the game ramps up to its 2015 release, Deep Seas Games has announced that Shovel Knight will be included in the game as a playable character. They even went as far as releasing a fresh new trailer showcasing the shovel wielding knight and the results are hilariously awesome. After a short introduction to the core game, we see Shovel Knight enter the game like a boss and proceed to shovel whip the living shit out of the other bikers and it's entertaining as hell. The trailer is a must see and only serves to make me want this game more than ever. Enjoy!

Dementium: The Ward Coming To 3DS Next Year
With the Dementium series recent return to Renegade Kid, fans have been eagerly awaiting what would happen with the underrated survival horror franchise. It turns out that the series will be making the leap to the mega successful Nintendo 3DS in 2015. Much like this years Moon Chronicles, Dementium: The Ward will get a full overhaul for the 3D console complete with enhanced visuals and gameplay tweaks to create a better experience. Unlike Moon Chronicles, it seems that the game will be released as a complete download on the eShop instead of the episode structure of Moon.
For those who don't know, Dementium: The Ward was Renegade Kid's first game back in 2007 and while the game was quite good, it was definitely rough around the edges with a harsh save system and punishing level of difficulty due to respawning enemies. Renegade Kid has pledged to fix these issues in the new version of the game which will make it a bit more accessible to horror fans pampered by the action horror games of the last half decade. This means that the game will likely use manual save points and the endlessly respawned enemies will be toned down dramatically for a more balanced experience. Hardcore fans need not worry though as Renegade Kid is considering how to offer a greater challenge for those who want a tougher experience (my guess would be through a difficulty selection). The game will likely run on a modified version of the Moon Chronicles engine which means 60 frames per second visuals even with the 3D turned on. Expect to see the game on the 3DS eShop around the middle of next year (Q2 2015).
As for the rest of the series, Renegade Kid has shown interest in re-releasing Dementium 2 on the 3DS as well which will make the series a real standout for the system. Fans have also been begging for a Wii U release of the series which would be an excellent fit for Nintendo's HD console. When it comes to the future, Dementium 3 is part of the long-term goals but won't happen for quite a while. Any way you slice it, survival horror fans have a very good reason to be excited as this series is one of the better independent horror games on the market.

Nintendo Illustrates Their Amazing Software Lineup This Holiday!
Nintendo has remained rather humble when illustrating its software strength when compared to the PS4 and XBOne. With the holiday's upon us and Nintendo's impressive array of software for both the Wii U and 3DS, the Big N has opted to skip the rather boring traditional statistics and instead given us a festive infographic that illustrates just how good their games really are. Using the notoriously harsh Metacritic, they make a very compelling case why any Gamer should have a Wii U and 3DS in their current collection. Even more impressive is the fact that the games listed scored an 85% or above from not only professional critics but also user scores which are particularly harsh on games. Enjoy!
