Elder Scrolls Skyrim MAMMOTHS! 3DS Launch Details! Final Fantasy XIII-2 Revealed!

Thursday, January 20th, 2011 – running time 12:58

Holy chainsaw guns, we've got a ton of news for you today! More details creeped out about Elder Scrolls Skyrim, including some promising news about NPC intelligence and wooly fucking mammoths, we finally got a date (March 25th in UK, March 27th in USA) and a price ($250) for the 3DS, AND Final Fantasy XIII-2 got officially announced and trailer'd. Furthermore, we figured out why Portal 2 on PS3 is the best version, shifted our rant-gammaray from CliffyB to David Cage, and laughed about Germany censoring Dead Space 2. Yes, there was a lot to talk about today folks, but not so much that we didn't get to bask in the glory of your voicemails (that number again is 775-55-DTOID). Also, we're doing a livestream on Monday! Let us know in the comments what games you want us to chat about.

Destructoid show episode 41, mega news edition! Lets go:

Story #1 - More Elder Scrolls Skyrim details revealed. No new gameplay footage, but we learned about NPCs, the Creation Engine, and wooly fucking mammoths.

Story #2 - Kongregate brings 300 games to the android…before it doesn't. Kongregate DID bring a ton of flash games to Android, but got nixed from the Market by Google.

Story #3 - Heavy Rain developer David Cage says stupid things. Including a bit about how Heavy Rain has made games a more meaningful medium.

Story #4 - 3DS launch details revealed. March 27 in the USA, $250. What's parallax 3d goodness worth to you?

Story #5 - Dead Space 2 censored in Germany. Apparently the concept of Friendly Fire doesn't sit too well over there.

Story #6 - Final Fantasy XIII-2 is a thing thats happening. So, there's that.

Story #7 - Portal 2 on PS3 is definitely the best version. Buy it for PS3, get it free on Mac and PC.

Hey, we're doing the show LIVE on YouTube next Monday, January 24th! We're going to be chatting about the most anticipated games of 2011, and would love to hear from you. We'll have a full chat room going so be sure to check in and let us know what you want us to talk about.
