We already knew that a Kirby compilationwas on the way, but we had no idea what it could possibly contain. Well, the cat is out of the bag, aswe finally knowwhat is on the disc! You ready? Nintendo’s Japanese version of the collection will haveKirby’s Dream Land,Kirby’s Adventure,Kirby’s Dream Land 2,Kirby Super Star,Kirby’s Dream Land 3, andKirby 64: The Crystal Shards(Jordan, it looks like you gotyour wish!). Of course when a localization announcement hits this could change, but everything seems incredibly reasonable for a stateside release so far....

In an interview withIGNat DICE, Marvel says that it has a looser mindset with its video games that are currently in production....

You know how it works! With the help of each other, try to figure out all of the disguised game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones. This week’s theme is another one that I’ve used before, but with different covers than before. I also made the theme a little more open ended than the first time, so hopefully that makes it a little harder to pin down every last game this week....

Oh, the places you’ll kill Activision put out a few new screenshots ofCabela’s Big Game Hunter: Pro Hunts, releasing for PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii U on March 25. They depict animals to be shot and environments in which they can be shot, like a bear in a forest or deer in another forest. I have this tendency to completely disregard hunting games, as the idea of actually hunting doesn’t hold a whole lot of appeal....
