Employee's remark sparks speculation

A comment from a representative of Arc Systems Works hinted at an appearance of a Kunio game coming to consoles in the future: I often find myself wanting to play Kunio games on TV, like I used to as a child, but there’s been a rumour going around the office that a secret project has been launched, so although we wouldn’t like you to get your hopes too..

Updated: Ubisoft makes a statement

There's a curious little teaser in the back of France's official Nintendo magazine (appropriately titled Nintendo Magazine) that was brought to our attention by French website LiveGen.

Step into the third dimension two months before Christmas

Computer and Video Games.com has a tasty rumor that Nintendo plans to release their follow-up to the hugely successful DS this October. One of their senior sources added: In my experience, you don't launch a product that early to Christmas unless you're confident in it - and going to spend a lot of money on it. We're reassured that Nintendo..

The Ace Attorney and other characters may arrive as DLC

Capcom fans disappointed at Phoenix Wright's exclusion from upcoming brawler Tatsunoko Vs.

Only on Wii, says ESPN

Last month, eyebrows were raised and speculation began when EA Sports Community Manager Alain Quinto tweeted last month that the company had plans to announce a new game in January.

Spawning glitch reportedly a non-issue after System Menu 4.2 update

Players of High Voltage Software's online FPS The Conduit are familiar with this scenario: after waiting up to five minutes to connect to a new multiplayer game, you'd spawn seemingly into a wall and not be able to do anything, not even leave the game without shutting down the console. It was one of those bugs that was as endlessly..

Rumor: Other new characters leaked?

Capcom has said that they would explore adding new features and characters to the Western release of the anticipated Wii fighter Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, but until now they've been pretty cagey about what those shiny new features actually are. Well, besides online play, we know they're pushing hard for that. This week, Famitsu revealed that Tekkaman Blade (Teknoman..

Sword mystery to be revealed?

Rumor. Rumor rumor rumor rumor rumor. According to an anonymous insider source of Infendo's, a trailer for the new Wii Zelda title is being prepared by Nintendo to be shown at an October event.

Official Twitter feed teases rumored "amazing new features."

Acticivision's Guitar Hero franchise has gotten some sweet love on Wii; Legends of Rock took the series online in a surprisingly solid way, and World Tour had it's own Mii-enabled mode and brought downloadable content as well, something still not widely done on the system. Now, with the fifth entry set to drop on Sept. 1 in the U.S., the..

Twitter shenanigans drop sequel hints and rumors

Let's slap a big ol' "Rumor" disclaimer on this one before we go any further, shall we?

Color us equally surprised and intrigued then..
