I wanna be the very best like no one ever was! To play X and Y is my new test to train the fire fox and hope it evolves into a Fire/Psychic type is my cause! I'm going to battle across the land searching with wi-fi far and wide around the world, it's Pokemon to understand it's coming to our 3DS systems in the fall.

E3 2013: Super Mario 3D World Announced



The Wii U just keeps getting better and better with announcements doesn't it? Good thing you've got me to deliver and sort through all the E3 updates and news, especially regarding the newly announced Super Mario 3D World for the Wii U. First i want to say Princess Peach is finally available as a playable character!

After saying it would be too hard to add her in anything they changed their tune pretty quick eh? We go through whatever adventure this is as Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad and just like in the classic Super Mario Bros. 2 our four playable characters will each have their own strengths and powers:


  • Mario is Mario... his name is on the game
  • Luigi can jump higher and further than the cast
  • Toad is the fastest on his feet
  • Peach can use her dress to float in mid-air for a short time
A new edition to the series is the Catsuit which is acquired from a gold bell you start to purr and meow and steal jewels in hopes of finding and flirting with Batman... I'm sorry you become Catman and start to hunt for Gerald to get his perfect hair forever. You chase after Spider-Man and try to get him to the wild side of being a superhero.

Your powers include the ability to pounce on enemies all fours and scale walls using your sharp claws, don't think this is only for Mario though gamers all the playable characters get the Catsuit treatment so you can have all cats on your team with the 4-player co-op. Super Mario World 3D will be coming to your Wii U during the holiday season in December


E3 2013: Mario Kart 8 comes to Wii U


The game we've all had fun with since Karting with Double Dash and so on has been confirmed to be coming to the Wii U, with the introduction to High Definition graphics detailing the characters, stages and vehicles the graphics for the Nintendo system are only improving and that's a revolution in itself (Get the joke?) It also looks like we'll be racing in anti gravity allowing us to Kart upside down and along walls... oh man that's going to lead to some dirty tactics and even more fun.

Mechanics used from previous games will include being able to drive underwater like in Mario Kart 7 on 3DS and bringing back motorcycles just like in Mario Kart Wii. As long as it continues to play to my childhood with racing with friends sign me up and possibly add this game to my buy list for my Wii U.

E3 2013: Killer instinct Xbox One Information


We've asked for it... begged even and now here it is they've one upped us and gave us a new Killer Instinct for the Xbox One only! This Xbox One exclusive will not feature a free to play option that was at first rumored, instead Jago will be your first and only playable character to start out with. All the game modes will be there but with only Jago at launch how much can you really play without it being tedious?

The premise behind this according to Double Helix is to have the game be a "giant demo" attracting those who don't really play fighting games and draw them to Killer Instinct Xbox One, I'm not sure about you guys but whether i play the fighting game or not a full roster is what draws me in with unique characters to choose from all with different styles would hook a gamer or not regardless.

Starting with EVO the biggest fighting game event ever will be home to a new flood of information regarding special editions, new character reveals, etc so don't forget to look out for that and of course I'll be here to update you all on anything I find.

E3 2013: Playstation 4 Release Date and Price

The information you've been searching all over the Internet is right here on my blog and you can thank me later! 

Sony has officially announced and confirmed that the Playstation 4 will be coming to North America and Europe at the competitive price of £349, $399 and 399 Euros... Damn that's a great price for a launch title super system like the PS4 a lot better than the beginning asking price of $600+ for the PS3 right gamers? 

Sony has also confirmed the PS4 will ship with a 500GB hard drive which as I confirmed before can be swapped out and/ or replaced with a bigger one. With the big financial success of various system bundles and accessory sales don't think it's going to stop with last gen the next gen PS4 is going down the same route with great games bundled with the system at a great price.

E3 2013: PS4 Info Regarding Tech


Shuhei Yoshida has confirmed the 500GB hard drive in the PlayStation 4 can be removed and upgraded just like with the PS3 which is great news for anyone out there wanting to slap a terabyte of memory on the PS4 can now make that a reality when the PS4 drops.

Sony has also confirmed that the PlayStation 4 will not be region blocked which means players are free to import games from other parts of the world. Meaning all your Japanese games are free to be loved and will be played equally on the PS4 with no hassle.

E3 2013: Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag Information



Before I begin it's a very special article number for me this is my 500th article!! A milestone thanks to the fans/ readers we at Dark Phoenix Inc. have and were grateful to all of you that read and support us, you guys are the best fans and friends ever! Continue to read and share and thanks again!

The Dark Phoenix Inc. ship has sailed forth and brought back the Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag information we know you want and the topic on everyone's mind during this game so without further ado I bring you my Game of the Year contender information.


  1. Game will be set in over 50 locations (Rumored, could be more possibly) ranging from jungles, smuggler hideouts, underwater caves and pirate camps.
  2. Our exploration is getting bigger so much bigger that the development team literally WANTS US to get lost in the massive world they're creating... challenge accepted.
  3. Instead of feeling separated in terms of being a land game and a sea game the team wants this game to feel at one with a "Caribbean game" feel having both elements perfectly flowing in sync.
  4. Our dream pirate ship multiplayer has been denied for now, so sadly we can't have our pirate ships battle it out over Xbox Live and PSN.
  5. You can harpoon sharks and whales as an unknown upgrade, not to sure if you get a reward for this or the kind of upgrade but if harpooning isn't as easy as Resident Evil 4 then you may have to up the reward for this pirate assassin.
  6. Assassin’s Creed IV will launch at the end of October on the PC, Wii U, PS3, and Xbox 360, followed at a later date on the Xbox One and PS4.

E3 2013: Kingdom Hearts 3 is official!


So much speculation, fan support, fan wars and everything on the Internet and beyond have all asked the same question since Kingdom Hearts 2 was released and following the releases of:

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep
Kingdom Hearts: Re: Chain of Memories
Kingdom Hearts: Coded
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 days
Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix+

WHERE THE HELL IS KINGDOM HEARTS 3?! A question being asked by all the fans of the series, well this E3 has brought the game hype back to us all and I'm so excited to let you guys know now that Kingdom Hearts 3 is in development by the same studio the Osaka studio who created Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance is working on the project while the initial team behind Kingdom hearts is working on Final Fantasy XV.

Fans shouldn't worry though I enjoyed Dream Drop Distance and just because they're working on something else doesn't mean they wont get help or pointers in the near future. 

The plot of Kingdom Hearts III revolves around Master Xehenort trying to keep balance between light and darkness by sparking a war against the “tyranny of light.” Throughout the game, Sora, Donald and Goofy look for the remaining seven guardians of light and the “Key to Return Hearts.” Meanwhile, King Mickey and Riku will search for previous Keyblade wielders.

With the combat system a little different each game it only makes sense to combine all the best of the new and have it perfected in KH3. 

Ok previous Keyblade wielders?! So one of the most popular ones that comes to mind... hmmm no spoilers but she's a 

Barbie Girl wrapped in plastic it's fantastic
Oh your love I know you are her Candyman and oh her love your word is her command
Roses are red and violets are blue, honey's sweet but not as sweet as you

Kingdom Hearts 3 comes to Playstation 4 AND Xbox One 2014
