Epic Mickey may have been a flawed game, but it was still one of the most interesting releases in the last few years, if only because Disney allowed Warren Spector and his team at Junction Point to play fast and loose with the empire's canon. They redesigned Mickey into a new retro form that was scrappier and more ratlike than his cheery modern doppleganger, and more importantly, the game represented the first time Mickey and his forbear, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, had been united.

When Pikmin was rereleased for the Wii over three years ago, we assumed its sequel wouldn't be far behind. We were wrong. While Japan and Europe received Captain Olimar's strategy/adventure with "New Play Control!" (the exclamation point is important!) in the early part of 2009, it remained lost in space for us North Americans. Thankfully, a US release date has finally been announced for New Play Control! Pikmin 2 on June 10th.

A series of photos allegedly portraying Blockbuster UK's upcoming videogame line-up reveals 25 Wii U titles on the way. Many confirm what we already knew, such as Pikmin and New Super Mario Brothers Mii, several are ports of titles that will already be out for other systems such as Batman: Arkham City and Darksiders 2, while others are potentially new surprises like Zombie (probably a placeholder title, but I'm hoping for an adaptation of Lucio Fulci's cult film [NSFW] with awkward shark fighting action). Perhaps most intriguing, if real, is "Splinter Cell 6." A sixth Splinter Cell game has yet to be announced, so one wonders if Ubisoft could be about to reveal a new multiplatform title at E3, if the series could become a Wii U exclusive, or if its simply an enhanced edition or collection of previous Splinter Cell games. It sounds promising though, as Nintendo's otherwise anemic line-up suffers from an Ironside deficiency.

Looking back at the list of titles that graced 8-bit consoles (and PCs) in 1987, you find that's it's a veritable parade of first entries in what would in time go on to either greatly influence gaming or spawn literally dozens of sequels between them. This is the year that modern video gaming was born, as simple left-to-right platforming was starting to experience previously unseen variations and mutations, while the standard bearers of fighting games and RPGs experienced their genesis. Take a look back at some of these classic titles celebrating their 25th anniversary—either of their initial release or the first time we got them on our shores—as part of the 1987 Silver series on MTV Multiplayer.
