Regular Show Videogame Announced - First Details Revealed

Regular-ShowD3 has revealed it will be publishing a game about everyone€™s favourite anthropomorphic pals, Mordecai and Rigby, as a 3DS exclusive later this year. Currently holding a release date of October 29th, it has already been suggested that delays may cause it to be pushed into 2014, though if Nintendo wants to cash in on some handheld console sales this Christmas they€™d be wise to have this much anticipated title backing the system up, as competition from the rumoured Valve, Sony, and Microsoft releases will leave them with a Hell of a lot of competition come the Winter season. Developed by WayForward and entitled €˜Regular Show: Mordecai and Rigby in 8-Bit Land€™, the game€™s plot has been suggested to revolve around the characters being sucked into a videogame or system, keeping in line with the surreal themes of the show and allowing an exploration of many different level types, such as one-on-one fighting and Streets of Rage-esque missions. It€™s also likely many of the popular characters besides the main bros from the show will make it into the game, but whether they€™ll appear as briefly-present NPCs, boss fights, constant support, or a mixture of the three, has yet to be unveiled. The Regular Show may be a show made for children, but its universal humour and relatable characters have led people of many ages to become die-hard fans, including a large number of gamers. It€™s therefore a title people have been wanting for a few years now, so its announcement has caused a fair amount of hype and expectation to spread across the internet. Whether this€™ll be a low-quality attempt to squeeze money out of hopeful consumers or a genuinely decent product won€™t be known for some time, so do me a solid and don€™t get too excited. In similar news, a new Adventure Time game called €˜Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON€™T KNOW!€™ has also been revealed and is planned to be released upon multiple platforms, including the PS3, PC, Wii U, 3DS, and Xbox 360. It has been said to have full voice acting from the original cast and to allow 4-player co-op, though nothing more is currently known.
