Welcome back to another round of Gameplay Trailers of the Week, where we take the best that the Internet has to offer in amusing, surprising and off-the-wall video game trailers and present them here in all their glory. Sit back, pop some popcorn, and enjoy the show!
For its latest Mario Kart 8 commercial, Nintendo of Japan has decided on showing the emotional side of the drivers involved through a new majestic, slow-motion powered piece. The real seller here, however, is the inclusion of the “Luigi death stare,” in which Mario’s plumber brother gives the gaze of doom while passing by his opposition. Good luck sleeping tonight.
Square Enix has announced a new contest for its forthcoming 3DS game Final Fantasy Theatrhythm: Curtain Call that challenges gamers to musically produce the main Final Fantasy theme, then share the video with them for a chance to win prizes. While this is a unique promotion, chances are it might be a little bit painful, especially when it comes to some people singing. There’s a reason some folks avoid karaoke bars.
CD Projekt Red revealed a dramatic new trailer for its forthcoming The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt that shows what kind of effort went into producing the art for the game. As you might expect, it’s far from an easy process, but it’ll certainly pay off when the game releases for PC and next-gen consoles this coming February.
For its latest trailer for Madden NFL 15, EA Sports invited a number of NFL rookies to come in and learn what their ratings are in the game. Some were pleasantly surprised, like Johnny Manziel, while others reacted a bit differently. Some event went as far as to say they’re “beefing.” Hey, guys…the game isn’t done yet. It’s not coming till August. Always time for change, right
Finally, Microsoft made a bold exclamation that the Xbox One would be host to the “best games,” period. These include such titles as Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Sunset Overdrive, although some, like the featured Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Assassin’s Creed: Unity, will appear on the PlayStation 4 console as well. Still, there’s no question that Microsoft wants to put its best foot forward. But this seems more like a leap than a step, eh, guys.
