Here's one to keep you up at night:
Matt Casamassina over at IGN has teased on his blog of a new, exclusive, ground-up Wii game with a very blurry picture.
I'm not a photographic scientist or anything -- not sure the profession even exists, and if not, it should -- but at the very least, there seems to be a lot of red in that blurred-out picture. And you know what fuzzy red means, right? Yep -- teh maturez.
To me, it looks like two beasties squaring off with some kind of lightning sword.
Whatcha think?
UPDATE: Maybe this will put things into focus. How's that for kiddie?

It looks like two beasts squaring off
AUSTRALIA downloads today Pitfall The Mayan Adventure and Swords and Soldiers
What if they gave us a "Conker's Bad Fur Day" styled game in response to the complaining? I could never forgive them if they did that...
It's a new 2-D Castlevania. Yay!
Looks kinda like a combination of a fighter and Golden Axe...
@Corbie. That would be great!
It's blurry, but it's apparently 'mature'
Do not want!
This looks some typical violent based game for the sake of it all. I like these kinds of games when they're done right (fun and playable), but I'm kind of tired of seeing these kinds of games as the de facto genre of this generation. If in fact this game is that kind of game. No idea actually, but it looks like there's some blood flying off the dude on the left.
I hope that's how the actual game looks. Really fuzzy so you can't really see anything. How's THAT for artsy?
All jokes aside, Matt isn't the most reliable source. I'd wait and see. And my call is a new Metroid.
Put your nose as close to your monitor as you can and then slowly pull your head back away from the monitor. The picture becomes crystal clear if you focus at the center of the page and do it correctly.
Man this looks amazing........
snicker, snicker, snicker..........
Mortal Kombat? Gladiator-based fighter?
Its the sequel the Dragon Blade, Wrath of Fire.
Fish Sword, Trickle of Water.
Oooh! It's a new Zelda!
It does kinda look like Golden Axe.......if you close one eye.......then the other.....
@bbb: I see you're just as wise cracking here as you are on Neo
Corbie, was that hopeful speculation or sum'n? That would be amasin', my hopes are way up I'll kill myself if its not true.
An indiscernible, blurry picture makes IGN news? Is that really all they can give us?
its some woman with a sword staring down some inc. monster.
i wanna say Dynamic Slash?
I'm not sure if it's a woman. That bright red area behind her (or him) appears to be fire in the background.
@Adam: It's a tease on Matt's blog, with promises to be revealed around E3. Didn't exactly set their front page ablaze.
Oh, and the screen was blurred by IGN, in case there was any confusion, so they have a real one somewhere.
ZOMAGADS Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce! I love you NL
Okay, now to read the article...
Giant Ant-Man's Revenge!
Now to use photoshop to make it a little easier to make out.
arnold voice
I'll be ba cough cough
normal voice I'll be back.
I'm gonna take a stab in the dark, and say it's Brutal Legends Wii.
Well, I tried photoshop, to no avail.
It looks like a monster game though. I wanna say Golden Axe, but it really could be anything. The left figure seems to be wearing a helm and raising an axe. His (or her) right arm also seems to be skeletal or wrapped in something.
Oh
My
Gawd!!!!
The oft rumored but never realized, "GLAUCOMA FIGHTER III"!!!!
Looks a bit like a Protoss zealot to me.
I believe it's "gawds", cirej.
The one thing I'm going to say is 100% for sure, is it's medieval and there's blood. It's not a new metroid, and definately not kid icarus. Does looks like it could be a fighter game ... I hate fighters ...
DUKE NUKEM FOREVAH! FOREVER EVAH? FOREVER EVAH!!!!!!!!!
In my fantasy world, that is...
On an unrelated note, I hope this gets the import to the NA VC. I'd pay the extra 100 points.

It is clearly Dynamic Slash, which Nintendo announced last october. Here is the screenshot:

It is developed by Sandlot, which is best known in the west for its Global / Earth Defence Force games.

ITS PORN!!! Look away kiddies!
This game certainly has my attention.
I'm not normally one to jump on the 'this looks rubbish' bus based on oe screenshot, but this looks RUBBISH.
I bet Club We Want Hardcore loves it though.
HOLY HELL! It's that badass looking game from the same montage trailer where Punch Out!! was introduced! Maybe this means Sin & Punishment 2 and Cosmic Walker are on their way as well! X3
EDIT: Or at least it is if what Teppo claims is true... which I now seriously doubt.
Looks a bit homoerotic if you ask me.
cool.
I wonder if it's an update of the classic Barbarian?
@Kelvin: Took the words right out of my mouth
@TwilightV "EDIT: Or at least it is if what Teppo claims is true... which I now seriously doubt."
I understood that Matt was teasing about 1st party game.
"And you know what fuzzy red means, right? Yep -- teh maturez."
Ugh, Matt from IGN is the most incompetent "journalist" in the world of gaming. Every word that comes out of his mouth reveals that he has to struggle to remain coherent with his two or three remaining neurons.
i wanna say Dynamic Slash?
Was thinking that for a moment but the perspective doesn't match up, the smaller thing on the right does not seem to be the back of the woman you control in DS (it has giant enemies so only reaching up to the knees of the enemy wouldn't be strange). Of course more Dynamic Slash information would be nice but I doubt this is it.
Made me think Zeno Clash a bit, the eye glow on the thing on the left reminds me of Father-Mother.
Speaking of "hardcore"...
Did someone at Nintendo Life pull the Burlesque news item? Geez, wasn't that scandalous. But hey, you be the boss.
Back on topic: Who else would love to see the in-game graphics actually be the watercolor-esque style of the cleaner pic? Like a darker Okami with decapitation. I think the over-emphasis on Gore for Gore's Sake is silly, too, just how I think the glut of FPS is waaaay repetitive and uninteresting, but something about this shot is compelling.
Nevermind -- saw the news item still on the home page. My mistake.
Also: That sword-carrying guy looks like the love-child of Baraka and Tusk, from Killer Instinct 2. KI3, pretty please?
@warioswoods "Ugh, Matt from IGN is the most incompetent "journalist" in the world of gaming."
So far as writing goes, certainly. But ironically he has also broke most exclusive stories in his business. It's just annoying to find the gem piles of poor writing.
think it is Dynamic Slash too...
http://www.nintendo-power.de/screenshots/dynamic-slash-wii-2049
same setting as on the (blurry) picture, and perfect timing, because this could be a perfect core-game with wiimotion+ included
The colors just don't match Dynamic Slash, the blurry pic is too reddish. Unless they gave it a complete redesign, of course, but I doubt that.
looks like shat. just my honest opinion. i'm not really a sword type of person. would much rather have guns, or in DMC's case, guns and swords! XD
As far as Matt goes, he went downhill halfway through the Cube's life and hasn't really done a lot to want me to read his crap since, getting Mark Bozon and Lucas Thomas in didn't help matters, only made them worse.
This game looks crap.
HA nice update to article
OH MY GOD!!!!
A PICTURE OF SOMEONE HITTING SOMEONE ELSE WITH A SWORD!!!!!! I THINK I MIGHT ORGASM ALL OVER THE SCREEN!!!!!
(sarcasm if you didn't realise.)
Am I the only one you thinks Matt created the image himself, just for (as he himself would put it) "Teh Lawls"?
I think this is is the unannounced Bathesda Wii game... E3 will tell if I'm right. _
