New Link for A Link Between Worlds
The upcoming 3DS title A Link Between Worlds may be set in the same world as A Link to the Past, but it's not set in the same time period. In today's Nintendo Direct, Iwata revealed that a lot of time has past between A Link to the Past and A Link Between Worlds, and that the Link we've seen in the videos so far isn't the same link from the 1991 Legend of Zelda SNES classic.
Professor Layton Vs Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Coming 2014
Professor Layton Vs Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney was one of the games that convinced me a 3DS was worth buying. It was originally announced in 2010 and was released in Japan at the end of last year. It didn't look like it was ever going to see a Western Release. As a last minute surprise in today's Nintendo Direct, however, it was revealed that Professor Layton, Luke, Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey will be coming to western 3DS consoles early next year.
Saints Row IV Demo now available
Volition have released a demo of the upcoming Saints Row IV to the PS Store. Well, saying it’s a demo is a bit ambitious. The short, yet oddly large (roughly 1400MB) demo gives players a chance to create their character in anticipation of the game’s full release in two weeks. Create wild and wacky characters using the robust creation options. Fiddle around with settings such as gender, race, skin color, height, weight and even their sex appeal with a slider…
New Nintendo Direct Tomorrow
Nintendo have announced that they'll hold a new Nintendo Direct tomorrow. You'll be able to tune into the official Nintendo website for the latest Wii U and 3DS news at 7AM PDT, 3PM GMT. Don't get too excited though, they have already confirmed that this will be related to games releasing this year.

Members of the DotA 2 subreddit were treated to a tour of Valve recently, and something tells me that the House that Half-Life Built may just regret letting them take picture. One picture, which shows a Valve Changelog, reveals quite clearly that the company are working on Left 4 Dead 3, and that it will run in the Source 2 engine.
PS Vita Firmware 2.60 now live

Microsoft Explain why Achievements are better on Xbox One
We've all seen the new improvements made to the Xbox One achievement system, but what about if you want to play a cross-gen game on Xbox 360? What incentive do you have to pick up, say, Watch Dogs on Xbox One instead of Xbox 360?
Australian Saints Row IV co-op incompatible with international release
The Australian Classification Board may have eventually approved Saints Row IV for release in the country but at the cost of multiplayer co-op with gamers outside Australia. An apologetic post on the Official Saints Row Facebook page (which has since been deleted) mentions a couple things on how the Australian version differs from any other version of the game. A single mission has been cut to meet the strict AU Classification criteria, but that’s not all. Gamers down under will…
Steam Sell Fallout 3 without Keys, Buyers Can’t Play
There's been something of a mini-controversy on Steam this last weekend. Fallout 3 has been on sale and it seems to have sold so many copies that Steam actually ran out of keys so that people could actually play their game. As of writing it still seems people are getting error messages and are unable to access their new purchase. Of course, Fallout 3 is still available to buy.
