ThreeA-Toys-WBR-Mars-Romulus-Remus

Good morning, all! I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday weekend.

Mine was pretty good - got to kick back, relax, and enjoy some gaming (The Last of Us on the PS4) and movies (The One I Love, which I reviewed here).

Never the less, we are all back in the saddle today, including us, your pals at Blast-O-Rama as we embark on another…DAILY BLAST!

In today’s edition:

  • Lots of PAX Prime gaming news!
  • OK, lots of gaming news in general!
  • A surprise revival from Amazon
  • Superman's a jerk
  • And so much more!

At the top of the post: Although I’m sure they’re expensive, these new WBR (World’s Best Robot) figures from 3A Toys look amazing!

  • Friday morning, Nintendo hosted another streaming edition of Nintendo Direct. While many news bits leaked, the biggest was the announcement of the New Nintendo 3DS called…the New Nintendo 3DS. With a faster processor, ThinkBook-like analog nubbin and interchangeable faceplates, it hits Japan this Fall, but has no US or Europe release date. So far.

  • Also from PAX: DoubleFine revealed a gameplay trailer for this October’s Costume Quest 2. I’m hoping it’s as sublime as the first.

  • Finally from PAX, an incredible looking trailer for Firewatch, the debut game from Campo Santo, a small indie developer including popular artist Olly Moss.

  • That Resident Evil HD re-release is looking pretty darn good. Even if it’d be like, the 80th time I’ve played through the original.
