With the Nintendo 3DS coming next year, a lot of new game titles will also pop up to exploit the joys of 3D gaming. One of these games is a 3D shooter called “Kid Icarus: Uprising,” which is being developed by Project Sora (a team-up between Masahiro.

Sakurai, the creator of Super Smash Bros and Nintendo owner Satoru Iwata. It is the first Kid Icarus installment since 1991.

The premise of the game is about the protagonist, Pit, battling the forces of Medusa while utilizing the power of flight given to him by Palutena, the Goddess of Light. However, Pit has only 5 minutes to use this power, after which he could only battle on land.

In his regular Famitsu column, Sakurai was asked by Iwata in early 2008 what kind of game he would develop for a device that eventually became the Nintendo 3DS. He made a bold decision by going for a shooter genre, which does not sell much in Japan compared overseas, as well as something he finds difficult to develop.

The game was also originally designed as an original series, but changed his mind to revive a long-dormant title after a brief discussion with Iwata.

The game’s trailer which was introduced in E3 was so well-received and we expect it to be the same once the game is released.

Sony launched their new generation NEX cameras in Singapore with the surprise reveal of a new product to come.

The NEX 3 & 5 (NEX stands for New E-Mount eXperience) are compact digital cameras with DSLR-sized APS-C sensors and interchangeable lenses, all of which promise excellent DSLR-like photo quality with none of the bulk of a traditional DSLR. The NEX cameras reduce size and weight by losing the mirrors found in DSLR cameras, which allows them to build smaller lenses as well.

Sony also introduced the new E-mount found on the NEX bodies which complement the existing Sony A-mount found on Alpha DSLRs. While Alpha lenses can be used on the NEX cameras with the help of an adapter, the new E-mount lenses cannot be mounted onto existing Alpha DSLR cameras due to the differences in size and technology. Even though auto-focus capability is lost with the use of the adapter, a Sony spokesman told us that they don’t rule out the possibility of adapters which allow the use of auto-focus with Alpha lenses in the future.

Sony Senior General Manager of the Personal Imaging & Sound Business Group, Toru Katsumoto (centre), was at the launch to promote the NEX cameras, together with Taisuke Nakanishi, Managing Director of Sony Singapore (second from right).

The NEX-5 is the higher-end model, with full 1080i video recording in AVCHD and a magnesium alloy body. It weighs 229g and measures 110.8mm × 58.8mm × 38.2mm.

An NEX-5 with the new high-zoom 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 E-mount lens. The NEX cameras have a crop factor of 1.5 which effectively makes this lens a 27-300mm. An NEX-5 with a Sony Alpha 70-200mm lens and E-mount adapter.

The NEX cameras can capture 3D panoramas which you can view with the help of 3D glasses and a BRAVIA TV with 3D support.

3 lenses will be available at launch, a wide-angle 16mm F2.8, a standard zoom 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 and a high-zoom 18-200mm F3.5-6.3. An ultra-wide and a fisheye converter will also be available, as well as an A-mount adapter.

New Interchangeable Lens Full HD Camcorder

Together with the launch of the NEX cameras came the unexpected reveal of a new camcorder currently in development. It has the same interchangeable lens system for use as the new E-mount lenses (existing Alpha lenses can be used with the help of an adapter, we assume that like with the NEX cameras, the auto-focus function will be lost). The camera records to 1920 x 1080 using the AVCHD codec and an EXMOR APS-sized CMOS sensor. Sony mentioned that more details will be available soon.

A mock-up of the new interchangeable lens camcorder was on display.

The NEX cameras are slated to be on sale in mid to end June.
