Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate 2.5D Metroidvania hitting 3DS, PS Vita
Warner Bros. has two new Batman games on the way, the first being a prequel, Batman: Arkham Origins, starring Deathstroke as the primary antagonist and coming to Wii U, PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. No one cares about that, though, because it’s developed by WB Montreal instead of Rocksteady (original Batman: Arkham series studio), and it’s not the second title…
Which is a 3DS/PS Vita spin-off titled Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, a 2.5D Metroidvania-style game coming from Armature Studio, the development house formed by Retro/Metroid Prime veterans several years ago. Normally a portable spin-off Batman game wouldn’t excite me too much, but doesn’t the combination of all those words in the previous sentence just sound baller?
All we know about the latter game is it’s a “completely separate experience that takes place after the events of Arkham Origins,” according to Game Informer. The console and portable editions release on October 25.

Dragon’s Crown screens are blowing my mind
The last few minutes have just been a stream of semi-angry IMs to Eric about how crazy great these screens look.
- “this art my god”
- “how is this a screenshot”
- “THIS GAME”
This game looks better every time I see it.

Dragon’s Crown trailer
Creepy Renaissance-esque dudes! Incredibly intricate shading! Also some butts! Dragon’s Crown looks like the absolute business. I’m so glad to see Vanillaware drift all the way into arcade-style stuff.
This comes out July 25 in Japan, and I’m seriously considering importing. Don’t need much language skill to hit stuff with a sword.

Muramasa Reborn on Vita
Muramasa: The Demon Blade, a game you’re no doubt familiar with if you’ve endured our website for any amount of time, will be released on PS Vita in North America by Aksys Games, under the title Muramasa: Rebirth.
The Vita port adds new DLC with four new characters to the original Wii edition, and a new localization by Aksys’s esteemed writers. It’s gonna look so good on that screeeeeeeen.

Wake-up Club comes to Vita next week
Wake-up Club is a super cute Vita app that lets you set an alarm clock, then puts you in a group of 12 other random users, to compare how quickly you get up after your alarm, compared to your group. You can also send encouragement to your group to help them get up, and see who’s still sleeping.
The PSN app will be released next Tuesday for free. It’s a pretty smart way to encourage people to integrate the Vita into their daily lives…

Muramasa: The Demon Blade Vita gameplay footage. It looks pretty much exactly like the Wii game, as far as I can tell! I am okay with this!

If you want a PS Vita, jump up on this deal immediately! Starting at 3PM ET, Amazon will have the white Vita + Assassin’s Creed 3 Liberation bundle, a copy of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, and a 90-day trial of PlayStation Plus (and therefore free Gravity Rush, Jet Set Radio, Uncharted, etc.) for $179.99.
Regular price for a PS Vita is STILL $250. This is the best deal until that silly MSRP changes. We should warn you that AC3: Liberation has a serious save corruption bug, but Ubisoft says a patch is on the way.
Speaking of deals, here’s a totally unrelated but still cool offer! Scribblenauts Unlimited for Wii U, which I super want to play after reading Eric’s review, is $50 ($10 off!). Oh, and don’t forget all the other Black Friday sales!

Virtue’s Last Reward watches on sale for Hurricane Sandy relief. For once, the boobytrapped watch is being used to save lives, not to end them in bloody explosions. Aksys is selling the watches (which come in three random colors) on its website for $20, with all proceeds going to the Red Cross, earmarked for Hurricane Sandy-related efforts.
I still have the t-shirt Aksys sold for Japan tsunami relief. A nice shirt and a nice gesture!

How to apply the Persona 4 Golden pre-order Vita skin. Man, what’s Atlus going to do without Aram Jabbari? Dude’s the best. Here he is putting a skin on a Vita and it’s totally fascinating.

Virtue’s Last Reward trailer. Apparently, this was shown during yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, but I was feverishly writing up news about Pikachu 3DSes and eShop megatons and I have no recollection of seeing this.
Great music! And the polygonal character models are… actually okay!
Siliconera rounded up a checklist of differences between Rising Star’s EU release and Aksys’s NA version; most importantly, the EU versions won’t have dual audio (Japanese only), but a demo for both 3DS and Vita has already been scheduled. In the US, we get dual audio, but so far only Vita has a demo (which is already out).

Forget that new super slim PS3, the Cosmic Red and Sapphire Blue PS Vita is the real hardware megaton from last night’s Sony press conference. Unfortunately, the new colors, which oddly match the American 3DS XL launch colors, are currently announced only for Japan.
Americans will have the opportunity to get a Crystal White Vita along with Assassin’s Creed 3 Liberation in October, at least.

![Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward bracelet, available in one of three colors (Red, Blue, Green) when you preorder the game through Amazon. I’m sure a lot of you already own the original 999 bracelet, but just think about the heights your swag level would reach if you rocked both on your wrist at the same time. Sky’s the limit.
