Majesco has released the first trailer for its upcoming Data East Arcade Classics collection. You might not remember the names of all the games in the video, but children of the 80s are likely to recognize at least a handful of them. One or two of them might even prompt shouts of “Hey! I remember … that game! With the guys, and the explosions.”
The good news is you won’t have to wait too long to figure it out, as Majesco has announced that Data East Arcade Classics will release in February 2010. Even better news, it will only cost twenty bucks. Yeah, $20 for Bad Dudes, Burger Time and Magical Drop III. As if that weren’t enough, the game also ties your high scores to your Mii and features unlockable bonus material.
The best news of all, the pizza joint down the street isn’t getting any more of our hard-earned quarters ever again.

With the release of Serious Sam: The First Encounter HD just around the corner, Majesco has released a new trailer for the game.
Serious Sam: The First Encounter HD will be available tomorrow (the 24th of November) for PC through Steam for $19.99. However, it is still unclear when the game will be available on the Xbox Live Arcade.
Remember that Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter is a “grab you by the jibblies run and gun, twitch FPS: BIG guns, TONS of enemies, 4-Player Online Co-Op and stunningly superfluous HD graphics that rival retail boxed games.”
Watch the ‘Kickin Name’s’ trailer below – it’s about to get serious.

You might expect Dawn of Heroes, a tactical, turn-based RPG from Wicked Studios and Majesco, to be super serious. It seems games in this genre seldom stray into the territory of slapstick and humorous banter, but here’s Dawn of Heroes, doing just that — and doing it well!

Dawn of Heroes is a tactical RPG from Wicked Studios and Majesco. You’ll be able to check it out for yourself when it releases next month, but Majesco was kind enough to offer us a preview build, as long as a brief interview on the with Wicked Studios president (and executive producer on Dawn of Heroes) Yves Borderleau. While we’re still hammering out our preview (look for it tomorrow!), have a look at our Q&A session after the break.

Ghostwire, A Different Game’s DSi-only title that uses the camera to fill players’ real surroundings with virtual ghosts, looked quite promising when it was unveiled. The only problem: without a publisher, it was nothing but an apparition of a game. Today, Majesco announced that it is publishing the augmented reality title (which was originally intended for Nokia phones) with a projected late 2010 release date, under the title Ghostwire: Link to the Paranormal.
Using the mic and camera on the DSi, as well as in-game tools like the “EMF tuner,” players search around them for hidden ghosts, and then attempt to give them peace by solving puzzles. Some ghosts will require items before they appear and interact with you, and some will apparently be malevolent and less receptive to your efforts. At which point, we assume, you have to solve their problems despite their lack of help, instead of just leaving them to go about their ghostly business.

A Boy and His Blob tells the story of an extra-terrestrial, amorphous lifeform and his young handler as they combat an evil emperor, hellbent on doing what all evil emperors want to do: kill most and rule over what’s left. The only thing standing in this extreme evildoer’s way is the boy’s willingness to feed the Blob different jellybeans, which cause him — it? — to transform into different shapes, thereby overcoming the game’s many obstacles.
After playing the game for a bit, it became clear that I was going to have to give up my need to solve the game’s puzzles unsupervised. See, A Boy and His Blob thought that I would be far better off if it held my hand.
[Note: This review also comes with this "complimentary" video. Enjoy!]

If you were to ask us to what sort of modes we expected to see in Serious Sam HD, “Super Happy Fun Time Mode” wouldn’t even be on the list. Much like the first time you heard the bewildered Mortal Kombat announcer utter the word “Friendship,” the video above is likely to fill you with unexpected glee. Don’t be surprised if you emit giggles, chuckles or maybe even a guffaw or two. Of course, we still have to wait and see if Serious Sam’s punishing gameplay has withstood the test of time.
For now, just enjoy the video.

You know what more games need to have? A hug button.
This inspiring innovation is introduced in the gameplay demonstration for A Boy and His Blob seen above. Okay, so maybe an “embrace command” wouldn’t pan out too well in, oh, say, Gears of War. Perhaps hugs are rarely appropriate in a video game context, requiring the presence of anthropomorphic gobs of slime to be considered acceptable. We don’t really care about all that stuff — all we know is that our hearts have been warmed to a point where eggs could be scrambled on our bare chests.

Majesco’s first trailer for Cooking Mama 3: Shop & Chop features one aspect of the Cooking Mama series we don’t expect to see in the actual DS game: the voice acting, which is as endearing as ever.
The trailer features the first look at the game’s new shopping mode, which appears as a top-down RPG-style presentation. It also features flashes of the familiar cooking gameplay, including the return of the most ridiculous recipe from Mamas past — instant ramen. Really?
For the most part, it looks like Cooking Mama, which we’ve yet to become tired of, so we don’t mind. And now with the addition of food with faces, we don’t think we will ever get tired of it.
