It’s no secret that a new Sonic game is in development for the 3DS. We’ve known that SEGA has been working on the title for almost a year, when a listing popped up on a huge list of games for the handheld during last year’s E3. It’s been a long time for sure, yet the company has been quiet about their Sonic plans for the 3DS.

Recently, there have been rumors about Sonic Generations coming to Nintendo’s portable. The project was actually listed on SEGA’s latest earnings report before being removed shortly thereafter.

Now the latest issue of Nintendo Acción is saying that Sonic is coming to the 3DS, but the magazine didn’t provide concrete details. Only the following blurb was written (roughly translated):

“Just at the end of this number, SEGA confirmed to us that a new Sonic is underway to 3DS. And we’re not talking only of the next Olympic challenge, with Mario, if not a new product exclusivity.”

So, what’s the deal? This notice only says that the Sonic game isn’t the Olympics title. We still don’t know if Sonic Generations is on its way to the 3DS, nor do we know if something else entirely is heading to the platform. Let’s hope that E3 brings us some answers.

Today, Nintendo officially opened the Japanese Kid Icarus: Uprising website. You’ll find a bunch of old movies, as well as information regarding a promotion for the game.

Nintendo is looking for Miis so that a float can be built, which will eventually appear on a float in Goshogawara’s Tachineputa festival this August. The float will contain the Miis, along with Pit and Palutena. Participants need to save their Mii portrait to an SD card in the Mii Studio application, and then send the photo in via a form.

You can check out the official website here

Thanks to Thomas N for the tip!

The 3DS eShop was going to launch with a renowned character in Mega Man, but, unfortunately, that is no longer the case. Capcom has announced that Mega Man Legends 3 Prototype Version will not make the launch of the shop early next month. The development team will use the extra time to enhance the quality of the game. A new release date has not been provided.

This information comes from Resident Evil producer Masachika Kawata…

“We have included a very short Revelations demo [in The Mercenaries 3D] so you can get the feel of it. The playable character will be Jill Valentine and the game takes place inside a cruise ship liner so she goes into the boat which is like a very eerie type of Resident Evil universe. There isn’t much of a storyline – it’s a very short demo – but you will get a feeling of what Resident Evil Revelations will be like.”

“The script has been fixed and we are full-on developing the game. Revelations will be shown at the Nintendo booth at E3. You’ll have to wait until E3 to find out more but everything is new from the script to the gameplay system and how we’ve developed the game.”

I might be wrong on this, but I have a feeling that the demo will be the one shown from Nintendo World 2011 in Japan. In any case, it’s a nice, little goodie to include in The Mercenaries 3D.

SEGA’s latest earnings report caught quite a bit of attention for one reason in particular. Sonic Generations, which has only been announced for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, was strangely listed for the 3DS and PC as well. However, the report has since been modified so that only the confirmed platforms appear.

Is SEGA trying to hide something, or was the listing a simple mistake? Nintendo Power’s May 2011 issue could support the idea that the title will be released for Nintendo’s portable, as the magazine teased coverage of Sonic’s 25th anniversary.

Rumors regarding Project Cafe’s have died down in recent weeks, though now that E3 is fast approaching, the speculation is beginning to pick up once again. Develop has published a bit of gossip they’ve been hearing from their sources, most of which pertains to a front-facing camera system for the console’s controller.

The site claims that they can confirm some of the previous rumors spread by other outlets, such as the six inch touch screen on the controller. A stylus may or may not be used – that’s unclear at this point.

New to the rumor pile is the apparent front-facing camera, which can be used for in-game images. Develop did not provide any additional information. The site’s source does have reason to believe that the 3DS could be used as a replacement controller, though that, too, is just speculation.

“The functions are the same. It is a standard wireless controller added with a front-facing camera and touch screen. That sounds far too much like a 3DS to me. But I can’t confirm this, Nintendo is being very cautious about the details.”
