Capcom’s Kenji Inafune recently discussed titles developed by Clover Studios. Though Clover no longer exists, Capcom would still be able to create more titles for Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and God Hand. Inafune, however, has expressed zero interest in creating any new games for Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and God Hand, stating that “it’s not very likely or appealing.”

“At this time, we have no plans of making sequels to any of those properties. I can’t say we won’t, for certain, but it’s not very likely or appealing. If we had no other properties to depend on for making new games, we might be desperate enough to create sequels to those titles, but that’s not the case. We have a lot of titles that we want to make and other sequels that are waiting to be made. So, there’s no interest at the moment.”

On the bright side, Inafune seems more open to creating a sequel to Mega Man 9.

“This title has been revived based on our users’ feedback. They indicated that they wanted to see it again, so if we can continue to find ways to involve users and use their feedback to evolve the game, I think we can go on to continue to make MM10, MM11, and so on. The main point is how and if we can continue to incorporate user feedback into the creation of the game.”

Sparse details regarding an apparent Wii-exclusive game have been found. A “Commander Video” for the title was discovered which features a creepy set up and doesn’t seem to make much sense. Evidently, this “game” is coming out in 2009 and the video does show a frame from the game.

Basically, this whole situation is rather confusing and doesn’t explain much. IGN seems to think that this is indeed a real game, but close to nothing can be deciphered from the video above and from the small details that have been reported. We’ll have to wait and see whether this game is actually real, but if it is, is does look somewhat intriguing to say the least.

News from a month or so ago came about that Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days would ship in February over in Japan along with a special edition DSi for the game. Sadly, this is no longer the case. It was revealed at Jump Festa today that the game has been pushed back. 358/2 Days is now on track for a “Spring 2009” release. No word yet if the special edition DSi will still launch alongside the game, but the chances are likely.

“The figures [NPD numbers] across the board [Wii, 360, PS3] are fantastic. There’s no question about it. The industry continues to display signs of being recession proof. As far as platform strategy, our plans of supporting all platforms with titles is completely supported by the November numbers.” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development

Nintendo definitely had an amazing November with about around 3.5 million units sold between the Wii and DS. In terms of the Wii, this should prove to third parties that the system still has staying power and perhaps the November numbers will convince a few companies to step up their support for the platform.

“Though Capcom announced Spyborgs a while ago, the game has remained in hiding ever since, and with good reason – it evidently is being significantly retooled and will bear little resemblance to what’s been shown thus far, other than that you’ll be controlling superpowered secret agents.” – Nintendo Power

I’m guessing that the style looks more realistic now. It’ll be pretty interesting to see the reactions of gamers when new screenshots and video are shown considering it wasn’t exactly received very well when it was first unveiled. The game is scheduled for a 2009 release.
