Bombshell Announced May 15, 2014

Interceptor Entertainment and 3D Realms have announced today that they are currently developing an all new Action/RPG they are calling Bombshell.  From up close, the game looks like it is the start of an entirely new IP, but those of you who are familiar with Duke Nukem Forever’s development (or saw my retrospective on What Was Cut from Duke Nukem Forever) know that Bombshell was originally designed by 3D Realms during Duke Nukem Forever’s development to be a secondary playable character.  While she never appeared in any form in the final version of that game, it looks like the guys at 3D Realms haven’t forgotten her.

Well, or they wanted to make a new Duke Nukem game, couldn’t, and put Bombshell in it instead.

Interceptor also released this Behind the Scenes video about the game’s development.  In it, they talk about the initial ideas behind the game (which I already wrote about) and the studio’s plans for the future

Bombshell is coming in early 2015.

Nintendo announced they would be remaking their third generation Pokémon games for the Nintendo 3DS earlier this week, but sadly, had no footage to show of the game at all.  This weekend, Nintendo finally released the first official footage of the games.  It’s not very much, but it is great to see how good a game originally designed for the Game Boy Advance will look on the 3DS.

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire are coming November 2014 exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS.

That’s right. We’re getting a third generation Pokémon remake for the 3DS!
