Along with the current White and Black versions of the controller, now every player in four-player matches can have his or her own color.

At the Video Game Awards last night, a sequel to Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was announced. However, the video did not provide any sort of confirmation that the game will be heading to Nintendo platforms. Although, according to Amazon, it will end up on the Wii and DS. This would certainly make sense, seeing as how the first title hit both Nintendo systems.

Monster Hunter 3 released for Wii in Japan a few months ago, but could another game be in development? A scan of the most recent issue of Famitsu has popped up and it’s rumored that the page confirms a new Monster Hunter title. Supposedly, voice actress Aya Hirono said she’s busy with a project in the series. She didn’t mention which one and some are starting to believe this could be a new brand new Monster Hunter game. I can’t confirm the validity of her comments, though, so you should consider this a rumor for now.

Thanks to Jake T for the news tip!

In a recent issue of Nintendo Power (249), the magazine interviewed famous members of the gaming industry in honor of the DS’s fifth anniversary. Koji Igarashi, producer of numerous Castlevania games, had this to say about the system:

“If [you want] to have the sharp gameplay that only 2-D games can provide…Then I think DS is the only hardware [for which it is] acceptable to publish such a game.”

I have to admit, the DS has housed some truly beautiful and high-quality 2-D titles. The Castlevania games have especially worked well on the handheld.
