Super Nintendo’s Latest Game Scheduled for 2013
I know you guys keep asking, “Where are the new SNES games? And when are they releasing?“. Well I am happy to inform you one is coming out next year, and it’s name is Nightmare Buster.
Nightmare Buster is being created by a production company called Super Fighter Team, they are the game a “masterful run and gun game for the Super Nintendo, Super Famicom and all compatible video game systems.” This is very surprising as the SNES hasn’t had a new game come to the console in the United States since the Frogger remake in 1998, if you couldn’t work that out, that’s 14 years.

The Sims 3 University Life will release this March, allowing your Sims to leave the home and attend University, enroll if classes you never dreamed of, earn degrees and would any University experience be the same without all the crazy antics of college life? I don’t think so. Classes are a small part of the college experience, protests in the quad, those pesky juice-keggers, social l groups and of course college love, there are plenty of new experiences available. University Life will include an all-new town including new locations to discover such as the bowling alley and SimsBurger. Plus plenty of extra-curricular activities such as spray painting, playing kicky bad and more.
The Sims 3 University Life Expansion allows your Sims to choose six majors on your way to earning a degree, from activities in-class to specific-objects. University Life will open up many doors for your Sims as they are accelerated to higher careers and new opportunities.
Look out for The Sims 3 University Life Expansion Pack, when it releases March 2013 for PC/Mac.

You remember that crazy writer named Alan Wake, right? That guy who would write about all these crazy horror stories and then one day they started coming to life from his own pages, well he might be making a new appearance very soon.
Remedy, the creator of the Alan Wake series is teasing some new announcements for 2013. How are they doing this? Through the Official Alan Wake Facebook page, “Even greater Remedy news to come in 2013…” If that doesn’t scream (Pun intended) Alan Wake, Remedy stated back in March 2012 that they were hiring for next generation development and later that a new game in the series may be in development before E3 2012.
Alan Wake first hit in May 2010, releasing exclusively on Xbox 360 and then releasing on PC February last year. There was also a spinoff title called Alan Wake: American Nightmare, which was also released February last year on Xbox 360 and PC in May.
Since Alan Wake is Remedy’s biggest IP and all the hints seems to be pointing to Alan Wake, could we finally receive a fully fledged sequel? Keep it tuned to Analog Addiction for more and also check out our PC review of the original game while we wait for more exciting news.
